  1. DJ Sanders is an out of shape bad bodied project. I thought he was over-ranked all along. If he’s anything but a bust, I’ll b shocked. That HS has future star at TB that I assume Texas is recruiting. Expect more shenanigans with that shithead coach if the player’s family isn’t fully running the show.
  2. Dry erase version or permanent? I’m using white crayon, personally.
  3. It’s crazy because I don’t think they really even resemble each other on the field. “Get me somebody! Anybody!”
  4. Townsend is a box to check regarding today’s trends. Texas managed the aggie NIL push coupled with the “we have no one better on the roster and you’ll be playing immediately” pitch.
  5. That is going to cost a lot of money. Wow.
  6. That is the current case with USC as well. USC is about to land multiple guys though, so doubt it holds through tomorrow.
  7. I used to view Michigan as sort of a mirror to Texas in the north. No more. That cheating shit and them defending it and trying to gaslight everybody turned me off. That said, they're fine to be doing what they're doing from our perspective, but I sure as hell wish they were attacking the OSU recruiting class rather than going with a gunshot approach. I am tired of Ohio State in every possible way. A shitty fanbase, a shitty state, a shitty coach, the sense of entitlement, their cheating, and their 120+ years of almost constant success being the big bad brand in the middle of the most boring part of this country.
  8. Aggie said: We literally play the schedule card every opportunity lol Who knows if they do .. but I don't think we make the playoff with their schedule either You have to really wonder if playing a harder schedule is worth it if in the last 30 years there are no trips to Atlanta, and only one trip to the BIGXII title game. Florida St and Miami became powerhouse programs in the 1990's when they were the only big dog football programs in the ACC and BIG East. Would you rather be the big fish in a small pond, or a big fish in a huge pond with other big fishes? Texas fled the BIGXII because they were tired of TCU and Baylor kicking their ass....so it works both ways. Texas..."FLED" the Big 12 to escape TCU and Baylor? Did we not win the conference last year? They never really do pay any attention to sticking to actual facts, do they? By the '90's and before joining conferences, both FSU and Miami were national powerhouses.
  9. That's not what y'all are discussing. It's not the most topical issue. Where goes are going and who Texas might be losing or flipping are far more topical right now. Finally, we've discussed the bomber types swooping in and changing everything for years. Knight has been a central discussion item across multiple recruiting cycles. Ellison doesn't change anything and it's to be expected. Texas still has the machine it needs for most situations and those guys aren't taking everyone. The Yellawood guy is no different at Auburn. If Texas ultimately successfully woos Dell or Musk into participating, we're good on that front as well. Nothing new here besides y'all getting silly about your comparisons and disagreements regarding ownership requirements, etc.
  10. Zion Williams and Walter Mathis, one, the other, or both, would be the kind of petty shit I could see Sarkisian enjoying. I'm here for it. Can you two goobers take this shit somewhere else? We are here on Signing Day Eve and Sydney is sending Wulaw spiraling on some ownership/GM fantasy discussion. Good grief.
  11. Florida State currently has the 34th rated recruiting class by On3. The rumors are swirling that they're going to lose their top two remaining commits by the time the week is over. Soloman Thomas (IOL) is heading either to LSU or UF. Kevin Wynn (DT) has everyone and their mother pushing for him but Georgia appears very confident.
  12. I've spoilered the Dawgs 247 article on Humphrey, with telling comments from Smart. There's been attitude problems and he tried to leave last year. You have to really believe you can sort the guy's bullshit in order to take him, but he's not a criminal or anything. Sarkisian has taken these sorts before with mixed results.
  13. In reading a long thread on the big USC 247 board, they have a couple of alleged insiders who are saying that they're about to have a mass exodus, much like what they're saying over on the LSU boards. Is this the year in which this type thing actually happens? We hear rumors but never fully see anything come to fruition, unless I'm forgetting one or you want to count ATM's last year. Could be fun.
  14. Clemson looked smaller and slower than SCar this past weekend. The game shouldn't have been close. Now Swinney is claiming that they have a complete roster, only taking 14 players in the 2025 class and focusing on roster retention, saying he won't be losing any starters to the portal. Now, Swinney is talking at his press conference about being the first 3 loss national title winner and causing everyone to have to re-write all of the mean things they've been saying about him. Clip below. I really despise this disingenuous gasbag. This is the second week in a row in which I'm going to be rooting for Clemson to win a game that they won't, because I'd like some chaos and to see the SEC get rightfully taken down a notch. On the flip side, while cheering for them feels a little dirty, it's always satisfying to see this dum dum lose.
  15. Well, it's a point, maybe, but not the point. Regarding the Gerry note, is it news to you that recruiting guys talk to players and their camps directly?
  16. The Fisher Maneuver was pulled with the Kelly contract, I believe. Like so many other schools, they're fucked for the time being if the coach doesn't work out. LSU can't compete in basic NIL efforts, much less the more radical ones. They're not going to find $61M under the couch and I don't think they have enough money to siphon off from children's hospitals or state-run construction projects to afford that level of grift. One of many late stage Saban takes that didn't hit as well as the DLs they'd been taking.
  17. That dude can play. Their TE could play.
  18. They didn’t post a name so the notion from you is to just fucking float one randomly? Go DM with Ketchum about it.
  19. Furtherfurthermore, the $20.5M, I believe, is to be spread across all sports and will Title IX fangs and claws attached to it.
  20. I don’t know anyone on the Tech end and my buddies in and around CFB are either not connected with Tech either or they have an actively hostile relationship with people involved there. So, no clue once the guy signed.
  21. Unless something has changed very recently, they don’t want Savea back unless they’re desperate. Texas NIL did not make anything resembling a 7 figure offer for Phillips. Shipp’s a proven liar and this reads like more nonsense or someone lying to him in Kelly’s world. Raymond isn’t exactly a high character guy, so that could well be the source. Just bullshit.
  22. Reading their boards and Smart’s comments, there’s something else going there. They might have been quietly disciplining him for something or benching him due to attitude.
  23. I played against his father. Watching that dude run down our sideline was like watching fucking thoroughbred gallop towards the end zone. That’s all I’ve got.
  24. I get it, man. I empathize. I know from personal and family experience what the hardships of autism can be for a person. One of the bigger issues can be rigid framing of possible circumstances and outcomes and not being able to comprehend that if black and white expectations aren't met in the end, shit still happened anyway. Your mental deficiencies are your own concern. though. If you can't properly educate yourself on subject matter, like I said, fuck off. No one is interested in reading your terribly uninformed takes presented in a smartest-guy-in-the-room manner.
