Childers and Doering this past spring and summer, on separate shows usually, would hammer the same talking point as aggie posters regarding Texas joining the SEC for the 2024 season: ”I think Texas will be good, but I don’t think they’re prepared for the grind of an SEC schedule. “ Doering is the honkiest SEC honk of all media SEC honks outside of Peter Burns. They’re both unbelievable to listen to in that they’ll often act like they’re being objective. Doering ranked Texas #6 in the SEC! heading into the season. He also stated on multiple occasions that Florida was going to surprise everybody and win a bunch of games as they go bowling this year. He’s a complete fraud as an analyst. So what are these guys saying now, as they unwittingly try to rationalize the reality that Texas isn’t just going to know its apparent place in the SEC and sit out a run at the conference title and playoffs? “Have you seen how easy this Texas schedule is? They’re getting the luckiest break in the country this season with Michigan being mediocre and getting to avoid 5 of the top 7 teams. “ Right.

I have a friend that played in the SEC and has a son starting to get into CFB. They live in Texas and the kid is Texas fan to his father’s chagrin. They ask me yesterday, “who do you take, Vince Young or Ewers & Manning?”. My response was simple: “Vince Young is the greatest college football player to ever live.” The dad rolled his eyes. Don’t care. We are nonetheless walking in some very high cotton right now.

You would think there were 10 of me if we’d have encountered each other on here 20 years ago. I’ve gotten soft as I’ve gotten older.

He honestly might be the best player in the country for 2026, regardless of position. I doubt they rank him that way since he’s a linebacker, but he looks like he was made in a lab and plays like it. I assume Georgia makes it impossible for him to leave. The signs are coming together that the visitor list for the Georgia game is going to be as absurd as any visitor list ever. For Texas, at least. You sound like a Georgia coach, thankfully. Y’all all probably said that about Byron Murphy too. It’s a market inefficiency for Georgia and Texas is hoping to take advantage of it. Also, Georgia had the same issues with Will Anderson Jr.

The current DC is Ron Roberts. The guy is a retread bum. He was run out of Auburn on a rail last year for similar poor performance.

I’ve reflected. You’re a humorless autist and you’re now going on ignore. We’ll both enjoy the experience better from here, clearly.

You have whined about the Wally Pipp stuff in at least 3 threads and with multiple posts. Get fucked on trying to put the perpetuation on me.

Well, they at least need to know they have a shot to be a two-time champion. @brojangles2 @Irish Wrist Watch

If you even start to put yourself asleep while attempting a post, you might have gone off on a boring tangent. If you use that rule of thumb, you’ll be helping us all out a little. “Well, ackshually, the use of the term of ‘rule of thumb’ offends me due to the origins … zzzz … zzzz”

It turns out they were real shitheads and helped build the largest NIL collective in the country and helped Sarkisian do whatever the fuck he wanted in football and other coaches in other sports. Dumb and ignorant takes.

Turnabout is fair play. Ewers’ dad wanted to keep Ewers in bubble wrap in 2022 after that piece of shit Dallas Turner’s cheap shot. It cost Texas a game when Ewers chose to sit, with the dad calling the shots and using Thamel to plead his case. Now? Boy, pops wants his son’s ass back out there pronto.

brutal. i should have just stuck with picking whoever is playing carolinas.

This morning according to a few folks that usually know.

They matter to people who enjoy following college football. Times ranked #1 is a thing that is tracked. Only dipshits with no sense of excitement or humor would look at Texas being ranked #1 and go Debbie Downer on it. Enjoy it while it lasts because the winner of the UGA/Bama game seems likely to bump Texas and I don’t think we’ll have a quibble. It gets to get settled on the field irrespective.

1) Young played a full season and won the Heisman in the year prior. 2) Teams absolutely had concerns a lot Young’s ability to handle the physicality of the NFL. Carolina didn’t, so he went high, and they were of course wrong. 3) What I posted is what a direct family member told people around the program. It’s not a debate. He needs to play a full season to assuage concerns with various teams that might draft him. You quoted a post in which I explicitly referenced a gap between the players. The attempt to frame my post as the opposite of that is pure poster ineptitude.

Wally Pipp as a reference is pretty fucking clear. Ewers is likely Wally Pipp’ed as of last night if he can’t go for awhile. I assume you grasp that. Your last post reads like tautology.

Are you emotionally invested in Quinn Ewers in such a way that what another poster believes would bother you? Texas has multiple high picks in the QB room. I hope Ewers gets back quickly for the overall depth. Will I give a shit if Manning takes over the starting role because Ewers is sidelined for weeks? No. I also won’t give a shit if Ewers is out for weeks and then is immediately the starter again. Acting as if Manning couldn’t take over and never look back if Ewers can’t go for awhile is silly wishcasting or shows a general lack of understanding the game of football while watching. Manning has looked good every time he’s been put on the field, he wasn’t ranked the #1 recruit in the country for nothing, and the more snaps he gets under fire, the smaller the gap gets in terms of understanding this offense and the looks defenses are going to give it. Quinn’s MRI today needs to go well and he needs to get back asap so none of these possible futures play out and muddy up the season.

These rubes never fail to entertain. They beat the equivalent of a Charlie Strong-coached Texas team and suddenly they’re a good team. Florida looked like an athletic team in full disarray yesterday. I had flashbacks.

I realize that some of posters are wired to dismiss the premise that humans often incorporate emotion into their decisions. Folks only used objective data points and then act. Right. Tell that to the NFL. Part of the feedback that the Ewers camp received when thinking through whether Ewers would come back was that many teams would like to see him play a full season and stay healthy. It’s impacted his draft rank. Argue over whether terms like “injury prone” are appropriate or not, but in the real world, his injury history is a mark on him and last night didn’t help. Also:

This LSU center is being buttfucked on national television against his will. Grim.

Everyone realizes that we actually want Michigan to be really good going forward, right? I mean I know they’re not, but it would be great if they were. I fucking hate Wisconsin. Overrated and slow, always. They’re as despicable as Iowa. The old Big 10 west is just a pile of shit.

Hahahahhaa. So good.

This game is about to go full tilt on LSU. Holy shit.

Boston College just shoved that drive down Missouri’s throat. Now they can stop talking about those mediocrities being unscored upon.
