  1. brutal. i should have just stuck with picking whoever is playing carolinas.
  2. This morning according to a few folks that usually know.
  3. They matter to people who enjoy following college football. Times ranked #1 is a thing that is tracked. Only dipshits with no sense of excitement or humor would look at Texas being ranked #1 and go Debbie Downer on it. Enjoy it while it lasts because the winner of the UGA/Bama game seems likely to bump Texas and I don’t think we’ll have a quibble. It gets to get settled on the field irrespective.
  4. 1) Young played a full season and won the Heisman in the year prior. 2) Teams absolutely had concerns a lot Young’s ability to handle the physicality of the NFL. Carolina didn’t, so he went high, and they were of course wrong. 3) What I posted is what a direct family member told people around the program. It’s not a debate. He needs to play a full season to assuage concerns with various teams that might draft him. You quoted a post in which I explicitly referenced a gap between the players. The attempt to frame my post as the opposite of that is pure poster ineptitude.
  5. Wally Pipp as a reference is pretty fucking clear. Ewers is likely Wally Pipp’ed as of last night if he can’t go for awhile. I assume you grasp that. Your last post reads like tautology.
  6. Are you emotionally invested in Quinn Ewers in such a way that what another poster believes would bother you? Texas has multiple high picks in the QB room. I hope Ewers gets back quickly for the overall depth. Will I give a shit if Manning takes over the starting role because Ewers is sidelined for weeks? No. I also won’t give a shit if Ewers is out for weeks and then is immediately the starter again. Acting as if Manning couldn’t take over and never look back if Ewers can’t go for awhile is silly wishcasting or shows a general lack of understanding the game of football while watching. Manning has looked good every time he’s been put on the field, he wasn’t ranked the #1 recruit in the country for nothing, and the more snaps he gets under fire, the smaller the gap gets in terms of understanding this offense and the looks defenses are going to give it. Quinn’s MRI today needs to go well and he needs to get back asap so none of these possible futures play out and muddy up the season.
  7. These rubes never fail to entertain. They beat the equivalent of a Charlie Strong-coached Texas team and suddenly they’re a good team. Florida looked like an athletic team in full disarray yesterday. I had flashbacks.
  8. I realize that some of posters are wired to dismiss the premise that humans often incorporate emotion into their decisions. Folks only used objective data points and then act. Right. Tell that to the NFL. Part of the feedback that the Ewers camp received when thinking through whether Ewers would come back was that many teams would like to see him play a full season and stay healthy. It’s impacted his draft rank. Argue over whether terms like “injury prone” are appropriate or not, but in the real world, his injury history is a mark on him and last night didn’t help. Also:
  9. This LSU center is being buttfucked on national television against his will. Grim.
  10. Everyone realizes that we actually want Michigan to be really good going forward, right? I mean I know they’re not, but it would be great if they were. I fucking hate Wisconsin. Overrated and slow, always. They’re as despicable as Iowa. The old Big 10 west is just a pile of shit.
  11. Hahahahhaa. So good.
  12. This game is about to go full tilt on LSU. Holy shit.
  13. Boston College just shoved that drive down Missouri’s throat. Now they can stop talking about those mediocrities being unscored upon.
  14. The vaunted “Best Offensive Line In the Country” for LSU continuing to make a mockery of the notion. The SCar front 7 is very fucking good.
  15. FSU’s OL is just brutal.
  16. @Burt Macklin if you’re around, do you have that Thamel clip still? I fucking cackle every time I see it.
  17. Kent State really is probably the actual worst team in FBS this year. 135 of 135. Should be a really, really grim outcome.
  18. Hattersley pimping Hilson as a legitimate option for ATM is as pure an example of a $9.95er lying to his base for clicks as you’ll ever witness. Holy shit.
  19. Regarding Niblack, since I'm catching up here, he's struggling with the playbook. He's not unwilling to block and such. Dude needs to be able to be relied upon to block the right guys and run the right routes. They want him out there.
  20. I posted that. The mods said he was done for the year and then some of their alleged insiders all said it was non-contact ACL. We'll never get a full confirmation from The Elk or his mouthpiece.
  21. The third CB on their depth chart and he's played a lot this season behind Julian Humphrey. The Georgia boards don't seem to give a shit and think it's just bad cops in Athens. That would be great and all if this shit hadn't already killed people in their org. Good grief. Beyond this, Georgia has 3 DLs out for UK, including both starting DTs. They're also lacking one of their TBs. I'm guessing it doesn't matter since Kentucky has like 20 guys out, including Trayanum, his backup, and 3 OLs are all out. But, hey, they'll have Brock Vandergriff out there, perfectly healthy.
  22. He's got a busted shoulder now. He also has had a series of concussions that he's suffered from, including one in 2022. He is still in pain from his foot injury last year. The guy is the CFB personification of this scene:
  23. No matter where he's at, he represents his city. And he's also known to take fools out like his homey Frank Nitti, sir. What do you expect them to call him?
  24. -Sharma's ranking with the services is kind of astonishing. That dude is a beast. He's being punished, in part, for playing in NoCal. -Same is true for Mills. The DeBoer UW staff, the Harbaugh Michigan staff, and Flood all wanted Mills badly. But, hey, analysts who get OL wrong every cycle haven't even bothered to review this guy's film. I find it incredibly fulfilling as a recruitnik and CFB fan to be looking at what the UT staff is doing across the board and have full confidence that they're getting it all as right as anyone. Particularly on the OL. Outside of like one guy who will eventually graduate and become a finance bro or something, the word is that they want to hang onto every OL on campus. Multiple young backups would be starting at OU or ATM right now. Watching those idiots ignorantly talk shit about Texas OL recruiting and depth is comical.
