    Depends on the job and location. UM is a pretty good path to the banking/consulting world, while UF is definitely better for engineering/science/accounting. Pretty standard state vs. private split.

    You write like a patrician ivy league douche without a clue beyond the classroom in this discussion.

    Two questions that may annoy. I can't keep up with all the recruits and all the opinions.

    1. Ty Jordan is small. I assume he is a waterbug with great quickness and shake. Am I right about that and how do we use him?

     

    2. Alford. What is our disposition towards him?  I gather that Eaton would be the first choice in lieu of Ringo and Rogers.

     

    Maybe others would like these pedestrian questions answered as well. Thanks!

    1) You’ll get an avalanche of opinions on Jordan. I’ll just say what I’ve whined about all along - they shouldn’t have been slowplaying him in the first place. It’s looking like they’re over the hump with him now and that could drop soon.

    2) Folks really like Alford. I’ve been interested in seeing him go elsewhere the whole time. Good ball skills, not the most athletic or best in coverage. Nothing elite. I’d like to see them land J Thompson this weekend and find a senior phenom or cross their fingers on safety flips with Washington or Chris Thompson.

    Amazing.

     

    Hahahahaha hahahahaha 

    These last two pages. Fucking awesome. One guy remembering the Eaton addition as the actual thing; the Carrington pool volleyball tweet fantasy - please God make that happen; “it would be a live document”. Oh man. 

    I need to hear a Liucci denial.

    This seems like a bit much.  I know we get them at home early in the season with a new quarterback, but hard to see Texas favored by that much given OSU's success against Texas over the past several years. 

    Just so we’re clear, Oklahoma State has the longest active winning streak of any team at DKR. Texas hasn’t put one together of the same size since 2009. OSU getting a bunch of points against Texas at home doesn’t get me pumped.

    While the BOMC is well documented and an undeniable fact of recruiting rankings, some guys will slip a bit as well. Seems the interior OL haven't put their best foot forward at camps, so I suspect they'll drop. That said, in my mind, Bijan is the only guy on that list who Alfred Collins should be looking up at. I'll strenuously object if he isn't a top-50 guy in this class whether he ends up in burnt orange or not. Basically I'm saying the likeliest outcome is the ranking movements netting out at approx zero.

    Oh! You strenuously object. Then I’ll take some time and reconsider.

    This, plus it looks like they're going to take Hester and they will probably hold spots for Ringo (not likely) and LVBS (trending well) if they decide they want in. I'm still skeptical Princely ends up here.

    I don’t have anything to pass on regarding Umanlymannishman right now, but personally, I have a hard time seeing Texas pass on taking him. Maybe they do. Seems crazy if he wants to come.

    Waiting for you to be Hermancipated from this delusion.

    First of all, that thread title is greatness.  Second of all, you’re just fucking wrong otherwise, and you should educate yourself before talking shit. Finally, finally.

    why does aggy do a drill where the DTs are late and arrive behind/after the ballcarrier? I mean, I know it looks just like their regular season but - wtf is the point of that shit? also of note, I had to watch the video because aggy247 is gonzo over how fast and smooth Chase Lane and Spiller are in this vid. (we also get a chorus of CALEB CHAPMAN TOO, he's just tall). 

    well, shit I tested it and the CBS link is fuckery ::

    So they’re already throwing out the “backing off Eaton” excuse.

    May be time to dig up the Kermit gif soon.

    My understanding is that Eaton also spiked a volleyball in Jimbo’s face and ATM hasn’t spoken to him since.

  10. When the threads rationalizing why you’re not fucked because you’re fucked start showing up for a fanbase’s board’s, dark days are coming. We’ve been there and seen it. It’s truly gratifying to see ATM fans so hell bent on nothing failing them so long as ol’Jimbo is at the helm. Don’t care, got Jimbo. Indeed you do, fellas. Good luck with aaaaaaaallllll that.

  11. Something for you guys that track things and then report back on, Adidas is apparently paying players to attend their all star game. I won’t pretend to have paid one bit of attention to which game that is, but it’s going to be somewhat telling, I guess, in terms of the attendee list. 

    Adidas is dirty a corporation as you can find in the sports realm. I cheer for their bankruptcy and utter failure. 

    I remember my buddy telling me the story of Kenyon Green’s dad showing up to a camp dressed like a pimp and then started campaigning for his son to get paid to attend an all star game. Dude only missed it by one year. Or hell, maybe he struck the first deal for paid all star attendance with adidas for all I know. 

    More on Adidas, after Haselwood decommitted from Georgia last year, they wanted him to visit Miami. Problem is, he’d already OV’d there. So Adidas went ahead and put his whole family up in Miami for an unofficial visit there and asked him to reconsider. I’m sure he really went nuts reconsidering before winding up at OU. So yeah, Adidas is fucking filthy. I can’t really follow what the payoff is, either. This isn’t basketball.

    Lulz. Good call. I was thinking I screwed that up after I wrote it.

     Regardless, I’d say they average a better than 16% chance of winning against each of those opponents, so the point still stands.

    Burt, we all have our bad days. My hope for you is that maybe you push away from the keyboard for the evening and start again tomorrow. This thread has been grim reading the past few pages and it was capped by your rejection of basic statistical principles as you taunted another poster for exactly that.

    Clemson has 6 committed this year, and are likely to get Flowe for potentially 7 five-stars in one class. They are going to sign the highest rated class ever. Insane.

    It’s always a fun discussion, when it is informed, around best classes ever. The 2002 class has often been in that discussion, actually. I think the Florida State one with Neon Deion from the late 80’s and the Jesse Armstead Miami class from the late 80’s are also usually mentioned. Haven’t seen a discussion of that sort in a long time though. No doubt this Clemson class, with consideration for signing limits of 25/85, might go down as one of the all time greats too.
