  1. Sooners Illustrated has published their depth chart prediction for the reason. It's spoilered below and it's a long scroll but a pretty straightforward read. They're not just throwing out wild guesses, this DC is based on practice observations and information gathering. I mock them often for their homerism, but that's part of their job. I actually think they do a good job as a group in terms publishing useful material. Highlights: -They're having to come clean at a lot of positions that the hype they've been putting on some guys isn't going to materialize, in many instances due to injury. -Ott is still struggling with a shoulder injury but they plan on starting him next Saturday. -Jaydan Gibson, after all of the hype of being out of a boot and being ready at some point during camp, still isn't working out and they don't even bother mentioning him in this update. I consider that dude to be a ghost at this point. -The most hype transfer from UAPB ever, Javonnie Gibson, will not be starting the season suited out and is not on the chart either. -Venables' Center choice appears to have won the battle versus the guy that Nagy paid from Stanford, someone he's told people will be starting. -Just look at TE. Some dude from Kennesaw State. Another guy from Pittsburg State (KS). Jaren KanekKanek. -The Keontez Lewis dude wasn't mentioned as a factor in the WR corps until literally this week. He's starting. -Eli Bowen isn't listed. -The Adebawore 5 star Edge is mentioned only in the vein that he may show up at some point. A guy named Taylor Wein, who was expected to be a garbage time player, is ahead of him on the depth chart. -The defense is going to have to do a lot of work this season if this is a team with a record above 7-5.
  2. They’ve literally announced this week that they’re going to start ensuring that they review the entirety of a team’s performance against schedule. I don’t know why it took this long, but we’re moving there now. One thing we haven’t discussed but it was clear to me listening to Finebaum’s interview with Sankey yesterday, is that these guys have numbers now that are beyond compelling directionally. It’s obvious, but for some reason it hasn’t been to everyone. Big games and big matchups drive interest and value. Of course. Beyond that, however, is the opposite, and that’s getting really understood for the first time. The shit games against shit opponents devalue brands and discourage interest. There were more than 10 SEC vs FCS games last year with under 100,000 viewers allegedly. The only reason to have those was for schedule manipulation that the league supported. They’re no longer going to support that. I’m not saying there will be a mandate, there might be, but there will be ramifications at every level. If Texas is 9-3 with an OOC loss at Notre Dame and ATM is 10-2 with OOC wins against bumfuck u, stumblefuck u and last chance u, and worse losses in conference, ATM isn’t going to get any friendly pushes. That’s where Sankey thinks this is rapidly heading and he’s admittedly driving it there. He flat out said he wants every P4 scheduling other OOC games against P4s, which is why the SEC created their own mandate. They’re looking at adding some other conferences and teams as “preferred” in another tier as well, per his own words. They see the light now. Bigger games lead to bigger dollars, every week of the season.
  3. These are people from Iowa and Kansas. How enlightened do you really think their tastebuds are?
  4. Hell, they even struggle to beat two of those teams regularly. You don’t care or filter “who says it”? That’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
  5. I know this is right, but I will hold out hope against the odds for the next few months. “Look, guys, you demanded that they play you again on your field. We gave you that. You didn’t say anything about something like this. Deal with it. “ Credit to Arkansas if they’re not bitches about it, which I doubt they will be.
  6. Joe Cook is on Twitter whining that Texas has scheduled too difficult of an OOC P4 in the future with 9 SEC games. I understand what @Wulaw Horn is rubbing his vagina over. The dipshit over at IT are carrying the “we’re pussies at Texas” banner on the social media front. Fucking awesome. Maybe Chip Brown and Kirk Bohls will join in to form a chorus of fates with those dipshits.
  7. Auburn’s rivalry with Florida is kind of important. The word is that they’re getting that back and LSU has other opponents.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Damn. Next year’s OOC schedule isn’t fucking around.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Ha. Great song. She’s only half Irish, half English and no blue eyes.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
