This is a big deal. They cannot afford to suffer losses on the OL. This is a bad unit that just got even uglier.

I’ll post the snap count info later, but it’s kind of stunning to see. Gabriel Brownlow Dindy received zero PT. Hicks got like 12 snaps. Muhammad hardly played on offense. GBD and Hicks were both 5 stars. When people reference that ATM “still has a lot of talent on the defensive front”, those guys are absolutely a driver for that due to their rankings. Albert 3 Star Regis certainly isn’t.

I admit to being one of those idiots shilling for Klubnik, so happy I didn't get my way. I can say that I was emphatically against pursuing Klubnik on this board and elsewhere. His film reminded me exactly of Garrett Gilbert, who I was also adamantly opposed to Texas taking, much less being the only QB they took for like 3 classes. The different talking heads on XM84 yesterday and today - Sallee, Luginbill, Neuheisel, Matt Hayes, Adam Rittenberg, etc., have all sort of mindlessly called the GA game a “bad outing” for Klubnik while then defending him and saying he’ll still be fine. Has no one watched the fucking guy play, like, at all? He was a bum then, and he’s a bum now!

I don’t get the mockery of the take that Weigman came across as a fucking idiot on that Gameday segment. I watched it at the time and thought two things: 1) That is one dumb motherfucker. 2) I’m glad he’s playing for atm. I’m raising GenZers and have been dealing with them in the workforce. Many of them can sound like this, and they sound like fucking idiots too. I know some of the aggie idiots are making way too much out of it, but if a Texas QB was filmed talking and behaving that way, my thoughts wouldn’t be any different. “Complete an actual sentence, you dumb fucking imbecile.”

I just rec’d this place to people based off of prior stays. This experience sounds like it sucked, but it’s normally one of the best options in town. Damn.

I only do those when the board is shitting itself.

They weren’t bullying Fresno State in the running game and they were trying to do so. Also, their TBs are run of the mill.

Ol’Brugler really crushed that fucking Weigman take. “He’s in the conversation for the top of the draft” or some shit. I rolled my eyes last week when I read it and I laugh now. Lazy take and I don’t believe for a fucking second that he watched anywhere near enough tape to put it out there in the first place.

Fresno State was able to get behind the Michigan safeties on several occasions and then the QB couldn’t connect. I’m guessing that gets noted in film review this week. I don’t think that was any kind of smokescreen by Michigan. I don’t think their safeties are that good.

I don’t see anything I’d object to in regard to your thoughts in your posts, or really most here so far. I don’t feel any different. I’m not heading to Ann Arbor thinking we’re getting a gimme, but we have every reason to feel good about the matchup. The similarities to last year are pretty stark for me, personally. Texas played the first opponent of the year better this year than last, and Michigan played theirs worse than Bama did. There aren’t a ton of other differences. Michigan, like Bama, has an unproven QB(s). Having followed Milroe in recruiting, I felt like he could be formidable but also a turnover machine. I guess another difference is that I don’t think the Michigan QBs can be formidable. They fucking suck. Michigan lost a lot, like Bama last year, but is expected to be a stout defense. Michigan has big question marks across the offense and secondary. See Bama. Then again, another difference is that Michigan doesn’t have the athletes that Bama or Texas has. They’re not a fast team. So I guess the similarities aren’t so many as to be eerie or anything. Watching the game, Michigan wasn’t showing much on defense, so we’ll get some new looks. On offense, they weren’t hiding a fucking thing. They struggled all night and pretty much sucked. They got a short field touchdown in the first quarter and outside of that did nothing until late, when superior physical talent and depth finished off an inferior opponent. It was a 16-10 game with 6 minutes left.

Prepare to be disappointed. You’re going to something more akin to Tyrone Swoopes and non-ATM Case McCoy out there. Tebow/Leak deserves better than this comparison. Holy shit.

Did many folks watch the Michigan/Fresno game last night? To say that I was not impressed would be putting it lightly, and I didn’t have high expectations going into it. The QBs for Michigan are objectively bad. Warren would be 4th string at Texas only because I don’t think we actually have a scholarship 4th stringer. Orji isn’t a QB and Michigan appears to realize that, but no one must be willing to tell him. They hardly played him and, when they did, it was basically a Wildcat offense. Worse than the QBs were the skill position players not named Loveland. There isn’t a single WR that played last night that would be in the Texas two deep. I know we’re deep, so that statement may not be doing their lack of talent justice. Mullings appears to be the go-to TB because Edwards still can’t run inside and they don’t seem to have much interest in running outside. Loveland is a true stud TE. Texas needs to take him seriously and take him away as a safety net. If they do this, Michigan QBs will turn the ball over. The offensive line looked mediocre in their first game together. Fresno State wasn’t exactly living in the backfield, but Michigan wasn’t getting push and having their way, which I expected based on the breathless way the Michigan Insider guys were raving about them. The Michigan front looked great defensively, allowing 9 yards rushing. This is the strength of their team and it is not even close. The Fresno State QB is not a guy Texas would recruit and he was missing guys all night. He made the mistake of testing Will Johnson as well and I hope Texas doesn’t. Frankly, there is no need to do so. The Michigan LBs and safeties are not fast. Sarkisian is great at picking apart mismatches like this. I’ll never forget watching him scheme to match up the Bama WRs against slow Ohio State LBs repeatedly in the 2020 season’s national title game. Knowing the speed and quickness of our receivers and watching Michigan’s Big 10 pass defense last night gave me a lot of confidence. Michigan has one LB that they rave about because he’s such a thumper. He’s a transfer from Maryland. I want to see him matched up against Texas on passing downs, please. The Big House isn’t particularly loud, allegedly. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person. My hope is that Texas goes up by two scores early, takes away home field advantage and forces Michigan to do something, anything on offense.

Lockett didn’t want to have to compete for oxygen with Moore. Johnson didn’t want to compete for oxygen with any of Lockett, Ffrench or Moore. Regarding Sims, I’d absolutely take that guy.

“Weigman was sick” is a refrain I can get behind and support. Unfortunately, the aggie 247 guys have already debunked that. Weigman did the same last year and it is related to nerves. This poor former 5 star manly man leader of aggieland has trouble performing in front of large crowds.

The Kyle Field Effect is absolutely a myth. They are 10-11 at home against ranked opponents in the last decade.

I hope you stop ruining threads with fat broads that many of us wouldn’t fuck with our worst enemy’s dick and that your bad football takes would be kept to yourself. Are you offering that such things are possible? Prove it.

I’m sadly with this guy. Fuck Neyor and his updates. Dude was paid well to be a bitch at Texas and bail.

Just saw a Matt Leinart Draft Kings commercial on my service while watching BNK. The punchline made me lol and I don’t know if a commercial has ever caused that. Greatness if you can catch it.

I don’t know anything negative about the guy at the time. His name was Jeff Hampton. He played at Clear Lake and then LSU. Look him up. I do think he viewed himself as a football first guy back then and maybe that played a role.

What is Anderson’s injury? They’re being cagey regarding him and when that’s happened in the prior two seasons, it’s usually meant the injury was a bigger deal than anyone figured.

Venables told him there was going to be open competition in the spring. There’s been pretty intense booster pressure and family pressure pushing for Arnold to be the guy. So Gabriel split.

Boy, this Tenple QB is shockingly terrible. They have to have someone else better than this.

He did the same shit when Mackovic was failing and then when he got fired. He’s a been a talentless assclown for forever and was easily the worst part about the gameday experience. For the people who have the gift of not noticing the PA announcer, well many of us do, so fuck Bob Cole and fuck you too.

I’d be really surprised by another DE/Edge. Gerry’s commented publicly about Texas having interest here. I’m guessing he’s talking about someone else if he’s acting secretive about it. I don’t know if he is, but the original poster’s framing of it made it seem that way. There is a lot of hair on the Simpson recruitment. I’m interested in seeing how serious Texas is with him. Whoever lands him is going to have to really want to get him into school.

Hey man, you’re a regular here and a good poster, but come on with “UTx”. It’s either Texas or UT on this board. Outside of clowns around Knoxville, everyone in the world knows who UT is referencing and you’re on our board to boot. Texas is just fine though as well and preferred.
