  1. If it helps, I wasn’t sure what in the fuck you were trying to say as you waded in either.
  2. ATM’s 247 mods are touting their returning roster and projected portal adds. They’re similar to many other site mods in which they view the portal as some sort of isolated location where only they get to plumb its treasures. They’re so disadvantaged that it’s not even funny. What do these idiots really have to sell? College Station? The Elk? NIL like everyone else? The SEC like 15 others? It’s not clear. On the rosters, they return: -A mid QB -A recovering TB; another recovering TB; a mid TB -Noah Thomas, Terry Bussey and Jaggers -TE: Swedish Jag -OL: Zuhn? The KU center who was okay and Bisontits -DT: Hicks, Regis, someone else? -DE: nope -LB: Jaguarean York and Scooby DooJag -CB: Lee, Chappell, a number of guys named Bob -S: Bryce Anderson and Dalton Brooks That’s returning a bunch of guys, sure. I don’t know if that’s a group that gets you to 6-6 against that schedule.
  3. You’re comparing a flamboyant Heisman winner, who starred for a cult, to a random mediocre QB who will play for at least 3 schools, establishing himself as loyal athlete not once. We can blame the game for that, sure, but in the end, he’ll just be a guy with no allegiances. “You played backup QB at Texas for 2 years? Get on my payroll, sonny! Here’s 6 figures annually.” ”You were at Duke for 10 months and left before the bowl game? How does my c-suite sound, good sir!” You guys are simple buffoons.
  4. “I’m going to speak declaratively about subject matter in which I have zero background or knowledge. Dummies elsewhere in life have let me get away with it, so why not Surly as well?” You’re wrong in every facet, and the rest of us are laughing at you.
  5. God forbid you delete the space below a quote on a phone. Fucking stupid. Anyway, @SamMan, I laughed when I changed the thread title but I didn’t expect the kind of mileage we’ve seen now. I will edit it to something else involving you and donkey punches for kickers and punters whenever the shine for @Helobious shaking DTs down wears off.
  6. The guy didn’t actually go into the portal. Same shit with Blue a year or two ago. They wanted to keep Mitchell, but they weren’t going to match past NIL deals. Apparently he saw the light that no one was going to match that. The guy has progressed in the last two months. Maybe they get something out of him. Cook has serious off the field issues right now, allegedly. He’s not a take for anyone paying attention. He has a lot of shit to sort through to be a viable entity at the P4 level.
  7. He literally quit on the team. I don’t want that fuckwit anywhere near Texas.
  8. I have no idea whether “captagon “ is your typical word to text issue or if this is some sort of thing in current events.
  9. Okay, come on. The weakest parts of the team have been red zone QB’ing and K beyond 40. We are weakest at the two key fucking places you cannot be against quality opponents. There isn’t a fucking person on this board going into the Clemson game ranking P above those two issues. If someone is doing that, they haven’t been paying attention. We need a blowout to de-risk this motherfucker every game forward.
  10. 1) That site has corona. 2) Good luck to them. Maybe Steve Slaton will show up there shortly and make Dick Rod look awesome again.
  11. I know I’ve belabored it before, but I have friends who were involved with the ESPN and On3 ratings. In both situations, contemporaneously, they said the guys running the ratings did not want to rate Manning #1 overall because of the fear of being wrong. They got bullied by dimwits like Mike Farrell and Billy Liucci running around social media touting Manning as a 3 star player with a 5 star name. Those guys all deserve to be mocked every time they mention a ranking.
  12. Remember ATM’s big push for Nelson? I’m hoping that love affair can get rekindled.
  13. This whole thing was made up. It’s not credible and not close to what’s going on for multiple schools listed.
  14. I’m seeing a lot of worrying about the numbers here. Get a hold of yourselves. The only person around here needing to worry about numbers right now is Helobious.
  15. “losing a bowl game in TCU’s stadium is the low point of Oklahoma football in the last quarter century.” That podcast in 2-3 weeks.
  16. I saw the poster’s quote through you quoting him and had to laugh. I can’t remember why I put that guy on ignore, but that post is likely a good indicator. Have I not called the Weigman situation for two fucking years? I mean, I’m wrong plenty. Talk shit about those circumstances. Trying to paint me as off on Weigman is a truly bizarre approach. Frankly, how much regarding ATM have I missed on in years? It’s almost like I have a decent relationship with some folks who are pulling strings there. Weird. When Weigman was coming out of high school, a friend of mine, who played in the SEC, saw him in HS and raved about him. I may have passed that on, but that wasn’t my take and I’ve been skeptical of him from day one. Why? Because other friends, who everyone above room temperature IQ on this board respect, said the guy had concussion issues and was not going to be a good fit for Fisher’s offense. I told that to this board and we all watched it unfold.
  17. They just flipped the Michigan 2024 game from home to away as a bone to throw to Fox. The OSU away and home were always sandwiched between the Michigan games.
  18. Where does one fly into for Georgia? Atlanta? I don’t see a United Houston to Athens flight. Same question for Lexington, KY.
  19. I can’t bring myself to go for Indian when only in NOLA for short stints. Clancy’s ended up figuring some things out and we’re in on Thursday. Haven’t been to New Orleans since the Sugar Bowl. Staying at Hotel Monteleone for the first time in years. Should be fun. Hitting La Petite for brunch on Saturday. GW Fins, Clancy’s, Peche at night.
  20. The safety is good and the DT would be a 20 snaps a game guy. Good players from shitty teams are drafted into the NFL or portal by good teams every cycle and end up being excellent. Patrick Mahomes never won a fucking thing coming up the ranks at shitty schools before leading the Chiefs to numerous titles. Hudson Card was hailed as a winner coming into the Texas program and has done nothing but suck in college. It’s a silly take.
  21. If the title is adjusted, it could just be the UNC football and also Mack Brown thread. They play every year and might even be significant every now and then.
  22. Do you watch Johnny Be Good on a loop or something? Outside of one-offs and "anecdotes", what I said is correct. What you continue to write is ignorant fan fiction. Do you think a bunch of the athletes who actually graduated winding up as realtors and podcasters is a sign of anything? Hint: it's not indicative of millionaires and billionaires randomly paying large sums to them to go to work with them and be buddies. Also, knowing some of these guys on the player side over the years, randomly, the position you can't let go of here would be insulting to them.
  23. Mitchell has made over $500k since joining Texas. He was not about to get anywhere near $250k to stick around and be a tub of goo with a shitty work ethic and a bad attitude. No one "encouraged" him to leave, but the guy has a higher opinion of himself than anyone at Texas does. So now, Sydir Mitchell can: and I am here for it.
  24. The projection here is assuming that you know anything about what I think about Murphy. I don't "begrudge" the guy anything. I bedgrude the morons on this board, like you, who feel compelled to treat the Maalik Murphy with kid gloves that aren't afforded for virtually any other player. It reminds of the Applewhite fanboys back in the day. As to Murphy, I've always wished the guy good luck and said he was a mediocrity who quit on his team for money. More power to him and I'm not rooting against him. As to the "carry on" bit, thanks for reinforcing my point, if unwittingly.
