  1. lol wut. They’re 17-2 and 6-1 in conference and you think that makes them close to dropping to a Q2 team?
  2. 10,000 word article from Ian Boyd incoming!
  3. Something tells me he’s still going to want his money back even if the @ KSU game is on ESPN +.
  4. But you also said we’d go 4 wide a ton, which would require taking Sanders off the field a ton. We run enough plays that we can give 4 WRs starter level snaps without having to be in 4 wide that often. The real issue will be target share. Worthy, Sanders, and JAhitt will still be targeted heavily, but Neyor and Mitchell will need over 100 targets combined. Sark/Ewers have to cut down on Worthy’s targets significantly and spread those out to the other guys. Hopefully that and more offensive success will lead to more targets overall.
  5. Personally, I feel bad for Bohls. He’s seriously underrated on the list of worst guys covering UT sports because no one actually reads or listens to AAS content.
  6. Sark has already identified managing the WR room as an issue, and adding Stewart would give us two Xavier Worthy’s in that room. There are certainly worse things than constantly upping the price for aggy to keep him while adding other good WRs who aren’t complete divas.
  7. I hope he doesn’t fall this far, but Buffalo or Kansas City would be really fun spots for him to end up and they both need a RB.
  8. This seems like a real cheap shot. Did you not just see the video of Lewis running all the way to Antarctica instead of taking a private jet?
  9. He started for the national champs all year as a true freshman and started every game for them this year when he was healthy and he caught 4 TDs in 4 CFP games and your assessment is to look at his 3 star HS rating? No shit he flashed in his two years starting at WR for the best team in the country. So a 995er who didn’t even know this was a thing until yesterday when it’s been in the works for over a month just throws out USC as an option with no real info, and y’all turn immediately start giving your reactions to losing Mitchell to USC? Was the discussion about our worst losses under Charlie and Herman not engaging enough for you? Surly is truly a hive of masochists.
  10. Agree with everything you said. The lip service to climate impact from F1 is dumb, but if they really cared, they would focus their talk on things like biofuels and how developments through F1 research make a way bigger global impact than the travel of the F1 teams every year. The entire conversation (from F1 and the fans claiming to be worried about it) is really fucking stupid.
  11. that and they don’t actually want to be efficient. The race promoters don’t want two GPs that are close in proximity back to back.
  12. It’s understandable to not want either, but one of the guys is one of the winningest coaches ever in CBB, while the other has no business even sniffing an interview based on his career accomplishments. They’re not even close to the same tier of candidates. If Terry weren’t the interim HC this year and he was on the short list to be the next HC, every single person in this thread would be losing their shit over him even being considered for the job. He’d be like hiring Skip Holtz for football.
  13. Yeah, late teens to twenties seems likely IMO. I think Saquon being healthy and being the only legit weapon for the Giants this year will help him too. He reminds me a lot of Saquon without the long speed but better vision inside. I doubt he runs the 40, but it would be really interesting to see his time. He’ll absolutely kill the shuttle and 3 cone if he does them.
  14. I’ll be shocked if he falls that far. It seems like draftniks are usually more extreme about positional value than teams, or at least there are always a few teams that will still take a RB high, even if the league generally is moving away from that.
  15. It would’ve been nice to get a quality WR, but it’s always going to be a challenge to get a WR (or any transfer player) to come here without a guaranteed starting spot. We have Neyor, Jwhitt and Worthy as our starters next year. Singer’s about the only guy I can think of who might be able to crack that top 3, and it wouldn’t be a guarantee for him. Like you said, having Cook, Moore, and Niblett as freshman will help a lot. Cook is ready to play and Moore and Niblett are way closer to playing than Brenen Thompson was last year. Thompson was highly rated, but he was super raw.
  16. Because they’re obvious names for 995ers to throw out when they don’t have a clue who the HC is actually considering. You give way too much credence and spend way too much time listening to 995ers.
  17. As long as the player has submitted the paperwork on time, then they still get to enter the portal. The school just gets a limited amount of time to wait to make it public, but they don’t control if a player gets to enter the portal.
  18. Think of what that would do to her career. Trewly Clean Chicken Coops just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
  19. You’re gonna have a bunch of guys doing multiple warm up laps to get the tyres up to temp in Q1 with all 20 cars on the grid. Sounds like a total shit show.
  20. IMO when every successful team is doing the opposite of what you’re saying, I’ll go with them.
  21. Best linebacker in the portal by a mile.
  22. Well sure, but it also wasn’t like they weren’t trying to not avoid him either.
  23. I would definitely take the other side of that bet.
  24. Any time you can fire the best assistant on a hilariously terrible offensive staff, you gotta do it.
  25. Agree with this. Watching 2012 and 2010 seasons all the way through in the offseason is the way to go.
