  1. Boston College just shoved that drive down Missouri’s throat. Now they can stop talking about those mediocrities being unscored upon.
  2. The vaunted “Best Offensive Line In the Country” for LSU continuing to make a mockery of the notion. The SCar front 7 is very fucking good.
  3. @Burt Macklin if you’re around, do you have that Thamel clip still? I fucking cackle every time I see it.
  4. Kent State really is probably the actual worst team in FBS this year. 135 of 135. Should be a really, really grim outcome.
  5. Hattersley pimping Hilson as a legitimate option for ATM is as pure an example of a $9.95er lying to his base for clicks as you’ll ever witness. Holy shit.
  6. Regarding Niblack, since I'm catching up here, he's struggling with the playbook. He's not unwilling to block and such. Dude needs to be able to be relied upon to block the right guys and run the right routes. They want him out there.
  7. I posted that. The mods said he was done for the year and then some of their alleged insiders all said it was non-contact ACL. We'll never get a full confirmation from The Elk or his mouthpiece.
  8. The third CB on their depth chart and he's played a lot this season behind Julian Humphrey. The Georgia boards don't seem to give a shit and think it's just bad cops in Athens. That would be great and all if this shit hadn't already killed people in their org. Good grief. Beyond this, Georgia has 3 DLs out for UK, including both starting DTs. They're also lacking one of their TBs. I'm guessing it doesn't matter since Kentucky has like 20 guys out, including Trayanum, his backup, and 3 OLs are all out. But, hey, they'll have Brock Vandergriff out there, perfectly healthy.
  9. He's got a busted shoulder now. He also has had a series of concussions that he's suffered from, including one in 2022. He is still in pain from his foot injury last year. The guy is the CFB personification of this scene:
  10. No matter where he's at, he represents his city. And he's also known to take fools out like his homey Frank Nitti, sir. What do you expect them to call him?
  11. -Sharma's ranking with the services is kind of astonishing. That dude is a beast. He's being punished, in part, for playing in NoCal. -Same is true for Mills. The DeBoer UW staff, the Harbaugh Michigan staff, and Flood all wanted Mills badly. But, hey, analysts who get OL wrong every cycle haven't even bothered to review this guy's film. I find it incredibly fulfilling as a recruitnik and CFB fan to be looking at what the UT staff is doing across the board and have full confidence that they're getting it all as right as anyone. Particularly on the OL. Outside of like one guy who will eventually graduate and become a finance bro or something, the word is that they want to hang onto every OL on campus. Multiple young backups would be starting at OU or ATM right now. Watching those idiots ignorantly talk shit about Texas OL recruiting and depth is comical.
  12. 19 - Burrow 20 - D Smith 21 - B Young 22 - Williams 23 - Daniels Am I right? I think I am. It would take me a minute to get 2010-2018, probably. Might not even get them all. Doesn't matter. A Heisman is nothing but good things for a fanbase and program, even if us olds are bitter about VY and McCoy and don't pay much attention. Ewers winning it this year would be really cool. Long way to go.
  13. The article is pretty hilarious. He's whining about the "logo schools" owning the higher rankings. Teams that are part of that complaint include Missouri, Ole Miss, and Oregon. I know Oregon has been an "it" school, but are they a logo school? Maybe I'm being patrician, but I'd argue against that. Ole Miss and Mizzou are most certainly not "logo schools". He's also ignoring cannibalism. Week 3 hasn't been played yet and this dude is sobbing in a corner about injustices for the Big 12 and TCU. Some of the teams ranked in the top 10 right now will wind up with 3+ losses and on the outside looking in. The Big 12 looks really competitive and the quality of the match-ups will leave at least 2 teams with a CFP opportunity if they can find their way to 10-3 (title game loser) or better. That's completely plausible given the schedules. Mike Gundy just needs to not Gundy this. Rising needs to fucking suck it up. Kleinman needs to not shit the bed against anyone other than top ranked opponents. Can Zona or ASU stay hot? Hell, there are other candidates too. That said, I'm telling you, having another G5 or another P4 opponent on all of these schedules instead of the FCS teams would go a long way for the Big 12 since they play 9 conference games. The arguments for a 10-2 Big 12 team versus a 9-3 Big 10 or SEC team would be very compelling. If Yormark is so smart, he's already realized this. The SEC and Big 10 can get away with the chickenshit FCS stuff. The ACC and the Big 12 cannot. It's clear as day. One other thing that's pointed out in that article, yet I'm not sure Engel realizes the humor/schadenfreude he's offering, is that the Big 12 schools are big mad that they don't get to play the "logo schools" any more and create jihads around them. That's exactly what Texas and OU were fucking sick of, and what fans of the other schools, and even posters on this board, have tried to dismiss as Texas elitist delusion. And of course we get the whiniest bitch out there to sell it for the Big 12ers, Sonny Dykes. Watching him publicly cry about not getting the attention without Texas and OU being around is delicious.
  14. He's never been as high on Williams as others. Doesn't think he loves football and doesn't think he's got the physical tools to overcome that problem. Bo Davis has always had a thing for Williams though, so that will be interesting to watch. Sanders is actually a good fit at ATM if they'll develop him. That guy will not be ready to play for two seasons unless he self-starts a crazy body makeover. The thing about Guidry and Sims in the winter and spring of this past period was that Sarkisian and Banks were star gazing and things also looked good with the guys Bo Davis was on until he left. If they're about to land Wynn, Mbatchou, or Mathis, I assume the only way both Guidry and Sims are on the table is if Texas wants to take 5. I don't know how much we're going to be able to read from it, but the recruits attending the Georgia game could be something mind-blowing, including a number of surprises. Does anyone know if there's a chance that's a night game?
  15. It looks to me like the SEC looked at that bullshit injury report on Wednesday and got back to them with the usual advice they offer to ATM regarding their behavior: “Get right or get fucked. We’re fining you if this isn’t sorted asap. “ They still don’t list multiple players known to be hurt. TJ Shanahan, sadly for them, is in the rotation on the OL. Dude has a high ankle sprain. Why isn’t he listed? Enai White hasn’t recovered from his injury last summer, he should be referenced. I am betting there are others.
  16. Boy, Elko and Liucci are truly cut from the same cloth. They clearly view and correctly view their entire fanbase as simple rubes and have no compunction about obviously lying to them and expecting them to lap it up. The Weigman story is literally impossible. There’s no way that shit is vaguely correct and therefore hints at more sinister stuff with the player. Chapell was once offered $300k to transfer to Oregon and ATM matched to keep him. Whoops.
  17. I assume this is fake and some sort of bit, right? Sorry if that is obvious to everyone else, but I haven’t followed that account.
  18. ATM paid desperate bag money to a handler in order to land DJ Sanders in an effort to stem UT recruiting momentum. They basically got Sims for free earlier in the cycle because Texas ignored him. Specifically, Sarkisian and Banks ignored Sims and didn’t let a visit get scheduled. Wrapped in all of that absurdity is that Sims is a much better prospect than Sanders. Whoops.
  19. Not those guys. Besides, are they good folks? Wasn’t one of them busted using a hidden camera in a room where female guests were changing clothes or something? I just typed too fast and misspelled intelligent.
  20. Liucci is just a pimp. The real power behind their NIL, pulling the rug on Stoops and getting Elko is far more intelligient than Liucci and worth about 500x Liucci. Actually a great guy too.
