  1. Questionable this week for Bama's home game against Wisconsin in which Bama is currently favored by 21.5 points: -WR Ryan Williams (concussion) -RB Jam Miller (shoulder) - Deboer said he will probably play this weekend. -DT Tim Keenan (Ankle/Tightrope Surgery) - unlikely -OLB Jah-Marien Latham (lowerl leg injury) - unlikely
  2. And Tope Imade to you as well, good sir. WTF?
  3. Comparing OL plug and play from the portal to DTs plugging and playing are two different things. Going and getting a good fit at an OL position to mesh with the rest of the group is one thing, going wholesale into the portal is another. Not only would adding 3-5 guys mean a complete retooling of the starting lineup, but also telling 5-7 guys to hit the fucking road, decimating continuity and development of those on campus. Everyone on this thread is completely overreacting to the OL play for the first two games. The PFF score might not have been great for some of them against Ohio State, but the unit played well enough to win in that game. They played overall poorly against SJSU, but that's also what this 3 game stint is for - playing up a learning curve. We've seen OL play come together year after year with Flood. Christian Jones and the one giant dude who played for just one year as a 5th or 6th year guy and brags on Flood regularly whose name I forget both showed more in a year under Flood than they had in multiple seasons under prior coaching. I'm fine with expecting another OT in this class and wish it would be a five person instead of a four person class, so maybe they seek one more guy or two in the portal this cycle, we'll see. Turntine is ready to play from a technique perspective on day one. Is he going to be physically ready? Again, we'll see. I'm also fine with a bunch of mix and match experimenting at C and LG. I just don't think we're doomed at either spot, nor should not adding a transfer last cycle be viewed as an epic fail. Wingo looks plenty fast on the field. He's gripping and trying to make plays before the ball is secured. If he settles down, he's going to have a big year. The plays are there. That all said, you sound like a fucking idiot with your whines about the guy's speed.
  4. I posted those from an article on one of their sites within the last page, so you can see for yourself. They had 2 decent performances and 3 that were dogshit bad, on Stroh levels.
  5. Update: -After 2 games, it is high time to write off new starters across the OL, including the 5 star redshirt freshman RT. His PFF scores have him below acceptability, and his ass needs to be cut, right now. -Based on less than 20 snaps of play, it is clear that Nate Kibble needs to be starting at LG. Meanwhile, Connor Stroh and Neto Umeozulu need to be washing towels and uniforms in the locker room to earn the remainder of their scholarship pay. -No, we mean it, it is high time to fire Kyle Flood. The guy is not developing talent. It's fucking obvious. Do not ask about the 4 guys that just joined NFL rosters. -We're clearly going to need to land 5! OLs in the transfer portal. What we mean by that is the roster just needs to be fucking flushed, folks. -It is time to consider that Torre Becton may also be a problem. There's got to be a reason players are not developing on this roster. -Steve Sarkisian has lost the plot and we're being publicly lampooned for his restroom grimace commentary.
  6. I had that game on, but was focused more on the other 4 I was watching. What was controversial in that game?
  7. I know that. For some reason, I thought they opened against Bryant. Can't say it changes my POV much, but good catch.
  8. I don't usually go back and watch games again, so this might be off, but I think the first offensive play for Texas featured some absolutely hilarious failure from that tree trunk. He basically just fell forward and touched no one as the played unfolded around him.
  9. What is it that I am taking seriously?
  10. I don’t know about him, but I find it good sport. All of the shit you idiots dismissed is now a factor for your conference. 1) Worrying over the monies and begging for fucking congress to do something so you guys can get access to the same pool of money as the SEC and Big 10. 2) Pressure to schedule better from your media partners because otherwise no one fucking cares about putting you on the major channels until league play. “no one cares about the non-con and we’ll be just fine! right. “
  11. Temple has beaten 2 shitty FCS teams. Don’t do this to yourselves. OU is going to fucking pummel Temple.
  12. Tell us more about darkness, because this is all lightness.
  13. To be clear, Texas did everything any of us could ask as fans. The NIL matched OU. The guy’s mom wanted him at OU and he preferred OU’s social scene. Texas and recruiting gurus questioned whether he loved football, and how long it would take to get him on the field, but Texas went all-in on him anyway. Maybe we regret the loss over time, but don’t let anyone revise history. He chose OU because he wanted to play at OU.
  14. That’s just a dated way to look at things. Outside of PSU and Clemson, anyone worth reviewing as a title contender had to replace numerous players on one or both sides of the ball. Ohio State? 15 starters. Georgia? 17 starters. The list goes on. LSU? 4 of 5 starting OL, the TE, multiple guys on the front 4, etc. The portal and NIL have made parity greater and mobility an issue for roster stacking. This is also why I’m not despondent and declaring the season over. You fucking people should watch other teams play every now and then. Damned near all of the powers and pretenders struggled with weak programs. Texas didn’t look great, but they didn’t look nearly as ugly as some other big names.
  15. Their boards seem to be suffering from G6-Guy-itis.
  16. Is this meant to be impressive? Good lord. I was probably clocked at faster than that this morning going through a HIIT workout with some ex-military friends.
  17. Hey, man, what the fuck?
  18. What’s to add here? Cream rises to the top. If Moore can’t show progress this season, you can bet your sweet ass that Biff will be in the chair from 2026 until he gets too old to do the work.
  19. Ricky Williams fumbled a lot. They seemed to manage through it. If your potentially best RB on the team needs to work through some fumbling issues, you give the guy a shot ton of reps against the UTEPs and SHSUs of the world. So, yeah, I assume we’ll never see him take a meaningful snap again.
  20. Makes sense. I don’t think I’ve seen that dude in years. Please let Florida hire him.
  21. I will immediately regret this, I’m sure, but who is this? I remember pining for Matt Campbell. It would be interesting experiment. He seems really suited for ISU, but maybe he could kill it in the big time. @Al_4_ISU will be by here shortly to tell you why he’s not a fit at Florida and you guys should just forget about him.
  22. This shoulder injury shit is being manufactured out of whole cloth and a bunch of you are falling for it. Anyone doing the “Arch’s Injury *They* Don’t Want You To Know About” article clickthroughs is making some fatass writer money. Anyone giving Brooks Austin “The Film Guy” credence for this kind of conspiracy shit hasn’t followed him long enough. He got ratioed on Twitter for doing this with some other major player that happened to be on Georgia’s schedule last year or the year before.
  23. Huh? He’s been average and overrated for years. He’s not fast enough to get to the edge and not tough enough to run well up the middle. He had a couple of good carries against Michigan and that’s it. He’s had a chance to lock down the starting role for years.
  24. Defensive grades and snap counts spoilered below. Highlights: -Guillory looks really good so far. They don't play legitimate WRs until Auburn, so everyone should pause on anointing him a king, but I doubt anyone in the media will. -They are struggling to get home in the pass rush. -The vaunted DL isn't scoring as well as the hype would suggest. -They're keeping things really tight on who they're letting on the field now. They played 21 guys and the majority of that rotation came with the front 4.
