  1. Helobious is just salty because Terry keeps Mossing a bunch of Juan’s and Jose’s.
  2. Fuck it. Im ready to get hurt again. Ferrari for WCC and Charles for WDC. Ferrari’s bringing a flexi front wing to COTA, and we’ll be the fastest car for the rest of the year with the best driver.
  3. The difference between Christian Ponder and Riley Leonard is that Christian Ponder declared for the draft at the right time.
  4. I was in favor of us adding Sanchez, but now that I see what Helobious has to say…
  5. It does not.
  6. I don’t think there’s even a close second. If he and Majors get anywhere near their UM level of play consistently this season, we are a completely different team than what was expected heading into the season.
  7. This is it. Teams that were rated too high in preseason, like A&M and Notre Dame will stay too high for about 4 weeks. S&P+ isn’t nearly as accurate until 5-6 weeks in. I also think Connelly struggles to weigh bad opponents, so teams like tOSU and Ole Miss (and Bama week 1) who beat the shit out of god awful teams also get overrated early on.
  8. Your first stop should always be checking to see if daddy98 has watched the tape and done a write up.
  9. Yep. Ferrari and RB wanted this shot down so they don’t have to develop it, but both have said they’ll have a new wing by COTA since the FIA isn’t doing anything. Could be a big performance jump for both seeing what it did for Merc and McLaren.
  10. KatFid92 Ballgame.
  11. Yeah, the list of guys with his size, explosiveness and natural ability to turn the corner is extremely small and pretty much every guy on that list was an All-American and high first round pick.
  12. I hope Napier’s just playing games with A&M, but he’s so stupid that this may actually be real. The only chance Napier has of saving his job is going with Lagway for the rest of the season.
  13. Huh? Mbatchou is the big game. All the big schools in the country are going hard after him. He’ll be extremely high ranked by the end of the cycle.
  14. To be fair, any team that swapped out A&M for UT on their schedule would probably jump 15-20 spots in the SOS rankings. Playing a top 3 team in the country versus the 70th team in the country is a huge difference. Florida already started Lagway last week and he went 18-25 for 456 yds and 3 TDs. A&M is absolutely going to be facing Lagway, and has a very good chance of losing. Even better, Lagway dominating Elko’s defense and being great this year saving Napier’s job, meaning Lagway won’t be open to transferring to A&M next offseason would be peak aggy tears, and I am absolutely here for it.
  15. So you’re still safe to drive?
  16. Ooh boy. There are a lot of TexAgs posters who will be getting banned later tonight when Looch gets back around from his coke bender.
  17. Fucking huge. Let’s go Bond!
  18. Based on what? His coaching career is extremely underwhelming, and last year was very lucky.
  19. Referencing Barney Fife while telling people to get back on topic when half the off topic posts have been about what age you become a boomer is certainly one way to go about it.
  20. There were at least 3 plays in the first or second quarter where either Collins or Broughton were standing straight up and getting moved easily. I definitely think it’s a concern, but we all knew the run defense would take a step back. I agree with you that Norton, Lole, Savea will be playing more, and I’d even like to see some packages where Collins or Broughton are pushed to edge. There’s really no reason to respect Michigan’s passing game at all and those guys are good enough pass rushers to make it work against this opponent. Plus, Holmes, Barron, and Mohammed all looked really good at outside CB against CSU. I think all 3 of them are better than any outside CB we had their last year, so we can get away with a lot of cover 1/cover 3 and even some Cover 0 on their WRs to make up for the drop in DT play. my only real concern on defense is that PK tends to overemphasize keeping everything in front of the defense at the expense of getting killed by consistent 4 yard gains in the run game. His UW defenses struggled the most against Stanford for that reason, but Michigan’s passing game is so poor, it’s hard to see him doing that, and Sark/Nansen should also put a stop to that if we see it through the first quarter.
  21. You were the jumper for the Jump Humping, weren’t you?
  22. Me if Ferrari actually ran that top design for a race:
  23. Agree with this. Michigan did run a vanilla offense against Fresno St., but when you have a whole new OL, QBs you don’t trust and WRs who can’t get open, your whole offense is going to be vanilla. I’m sure they can run a gadget play or two and they can get creative with Orji, but since Orji is missing the throwing part of being a dual threat, Texas shouldn’t have much trouble with his creative plays. I would expect Michigan needs to score at least 21 and probably more like 24 or 27 to win, and I just don’t see their offense being able to approach those numbers. I hope Sark comes into this game understanding our traditional run game won’t work well in the first half. If he’s stubborn and tries to call too many inside runs, which get us behind the chains and cause three and outs, then I could see Michigan keeping this close into the 4th quarter. If he uses a lot of misdirections, screens, and short passes as runs early to get their DTs running laterally and and we can sustain drives in the first half, then we could get them tired early and run away with this one. Bottom line, this should be a somewhat comfortable win if Sark lives up to his billing as one of the best offensive minds in college football.
  24. I’ve seen a variety of takes on just how good Michigan’s defense is this year and how the Texas offense might attack it, but I’m going to reserve judgment until I can see what Ian Boyd has to say about this matchup.
