  1. Auburn’s rivalry with Florida is kind of important. The word is that they’re getting that back and LSU has other opponents.
  2. Sankey said on Finebaum today that they were spacing announcements about everything out through December. That interview is worth a listen if you can find it. Finebaum overtly talked shit about Cignetti and Sankey subtly threw some barbs as well.
  3. Worryworts on IT and overthinkers. I’m sure Ian Boyd is involved in between talking up position changes like sending Ant Hill to RB and Wingo to Safety.
  4. I am sure without a mandate, we will witness spineless behavior from a few schools. That said, any program with CFP aspirations has to realize that the worm is turning regarding just buying wins.
  5. Damn. Next year’s OOC schedule isn’t fucking around.
  6. If not Ole Miss, Arkansas, which is what LSU is pushing for, allegedly. Ole Miss might get through the sticky wicket with MSU, Arkansas and some other random.
  7. Taking that and canceling the FCS payday games of $1-$4M annually will make each program some pretty good money. Radio people are acting like they read that ESPN will be escalating once initial assumptions are validated.
  8. Finebaum said on his show today that he’s fairly certain Bama is getting Auburn, LSU and Tennessee. We both know if he’s saying that, he’s already been told. He said tv is playing a big role in helping with the matchups. It honestly sounded like a few teams, Mississippi State included, are going to get lucky because no one wants to see them on tv. He said he’d heard Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Ole Miss for MSU.
  9. Spoilered below is a more credible argument about 5 defensive risers for OU in their fall camp. Not surprising given that the defense will actually be good whereas the offense has a lot to prove and has basically zero depth. Highlights: -The 5 star dude with the Nigerian last name isn’t mentioned and he’s legitimately turning into a massive bust. -They really need one of the CBs they mention to actually be a sound contributor. Pick your poison with a true freshman that has some talent or a system guy that has never cracked the two deep. -Stone is interesting. We’ve talked about him here. Their writers have been spinning the notion of the switch turning on, but he’s not pushing a starter out of the way and he sucked in the spring.
  10. Says who? I’m cheering for it, but hadn’t seen it. Also, the P4 OOC requirement is a giant fuck you to the Big 10. Indiana, especially, can get fucked. OSU didn’t have one last year. I think multiple teams lack one this season year because the whole conference only has 12 scheduled. Name anyone not a jetsfan bitching about this.
  11. That and forcing the ACC to stop being pussies as well. They’ve looked like bigger pussies the entire time. Someone needs them that time is up on both the 8 conference games and the non-scheduling of P4 opponents in the OOC.
  12. Listen, man, I'm not the one killing people or making unlistenable music. You're right. My bad on that one. I'll no longer avoid REK but I don't even know when and where I'll be when I hear him, most likely. The guy going on the blacklist is David Allen Coe. I'll delete my false info on REK for accuracy and SEO related purposes.
  13. I don’t usually stop at Buccee’s because it is a gas station equivalent of a tourist trap. It’s fucking ridiculous. The founder has a giant house on Lake Travis that is impressive. I believe his son or some relative hid a camera there and was filming women changing in and out of bathing suits, if memory serves. I don’t listen to Lyle Lovett because he sucks. Good on him for the whole Julia Roberts thing though. I don’t buy Blue Bell because they killed people and then said they’d fixed it and killed more people. That’s some aggie shit there. I don’t know if Chipotle has a connection to aggies, but I avoid them for the same reason. That place killed people.
  14. Ha. Great song. She’s only half Irish, half English and no blue eyes.
  15. I don't think there was anything "unintentional" about it. Ol'BO&W's working graveyards this week, so he's sleeping in the mornings. That's why he's only active on here right now in the afternoons. Inventories don't count themselves, you know.
  16. He has CJ Allen in his teens. Objectively defend taking CJ Allen over Hill. Go for it. Campbell would be a comp if Hill didn't put up the havoc numbers that he puts up. There's not a great recent comparison for an off the ball LB with the size and speed and also production that Hill has. The draft dorks will overthink it and ding him for stupid shit because they cannot help themselves and then some dipshits in front offices will do the same. He'll fall into the teens or twenties and then put up HOF numbers for a decade. He's as sure a thing as there will be in this draft outside of Caleb Downs. Having him in the 30's is fucking dumb and indefensible. Also, yeah, people can whisper all they want about him winding up on the edge. Fucking great. Those guys go top 10 too. It's just idiotic.
  17. Look, I know I am so far in the tank on the notion that OU is wildly overrated this year that I probably can't be helped, but it's these fucking okie writers who are doing it to me. Spoilered is an article talking excitedly about 5 fast risers for OU in this fall's camp. If you've been following, it's unintentional hilarity. Highlights: -Each of the 5 "risers" is in a spot to play due to desperation. -Logan Howland started due to injury last year at LT. He had surgery on his shoulder, missed the spring and was promptly pushed backwards on the depth chart. The great hope at RT was a transfer from juggernaut Western Carolina, dude named Simmons, and he's been hurt all camp. Enter Logan Howland at RT. He's rising again. -Keonteziedeezie Lewis failed at UCLA and Wisconsin. He became a magical wizard for the rabid Salukis of Southern Illinois receiving for almost 800 yards against guys that wouldn't make high school rosters at 6A Texas programs. Now, because other spares they were relying on at WR are hurt, Lewis is "different, man" per the erudite Emmett Jones. Right. -Ivan "Helobious" Carreon has barely been mentioned this past spring or fall camp, but OU's desperate at WR, so they're going to be forced to play him as well. -We've covered the hilarity that is the Jaren Kanak journey. Hullaballoo, Kanak Kanak, Hullaballoo Kanak! OU people are convincing themselves that this guy is going to make a difference at TE in 2025. Their TE room is so putrid that a random transfer from Kennesaw State will be starting and they're going to utilize this Kanak idiot as a wildcard in some form behind him. -They're painting the insertion of Fasusi as the second coming of Kelvin Banks. After they throw his ass out of the recovery center, yank the IV feed from his dehydrated lower left arm, and push him back out onto the practice field for more reps and conditioning, that motherfucker better get back to earning the $750k Nagy is paying his ass.
  18. Also, forgot to mention this but the reporters at RedRaiderInsider are saying that Micah Hudson is running 2nd team at his WR spot after a lackluster summer and camp. I laughed.
  19. While I generally agree with your sentiment, I do want to point out the awe-inspiring irony of your post for those of us on this site who root for Texas. It's almost better if I don't even point it out and torture it any, I think. It's fucking beautiful to admire.
  20. Dvoracek is calling the Irish Bowl this weekend. He must really be confident and secure in his sobriety journey to feel okay on that island. Alcoholism isn't a concept that has reached the shores of the Emerald Isle yet, as far I've been able to discern.
  21. Is Brugler one of the guys you like? This list reads like he randomly drew names from a hat.
  22. I am not on the Alabraska train envisioned by @Wulaw Horn, simply because they are located in a region that is absolutely drenched in talent. It's why I don't see OU fully collapsing into decades of futility either. DFW and east Texas are too rich as buffer zones to allow the drift into the abyss. That said, I also just don't see Daboer fading out at Bama in the near term, either. The guy is an excellent coach. His staff looks (mostly) really solid. They're loaded on defense, especially in the secondary. They can rock fight most opponents into 24-17 type wins if the offense doesn't click. With Grubbs there, I'm sure the offense will be fine as well. They have 2 NFL WRs, minimum, and multiple NFL prospects on the OL. I'll be surprised if they're not a playoff team and legitimate title contender.
  23. Some of us care. I thought the idea of a bunch of Tech idiots sending a bunch of tortillas to Yormark and his gaggle of idiots was funny. Nobody but Tech fans thinks the tortilla thing is a great element of college sports. Every person who has ever witnessed it on tv that I've been around is like "why the fuck do they do that?" and then no one watching has any explanation for it. I've had tech people explain it before and the explanation and reasoning was so inane that I can never retain what the fuck it was that they claimed. That said, I'm in full agreement that Tech should generally be allowed to do it. Of course, I was also proud to see our student section go berserk on the terrible call last year against Georgia and turn our north end zone into a trash heap for 15 minutes and I laugh every time Texas gets embarrassed on some also-ran program's home field and everyone storms it, so maybe I'm just an idiot as well.
  24. I believe he posts here as @markstanco .
