  1. Good fight. Should have been split for Barrios, IMO. Split-draw. Sigh This.
  2. Roy Jones and Rosie Perez are not compelling commentators, either...
  3. Freezing intermittently for me too. Shitshow in several dimensions if Netflix and its server farm (AWS) do not figure this out.
  4. Ok. Arkansas averages 483 YPG. 687 - Arkansas pinebluff (w) 648 - OSU (l) 673 - MSU (w) For the other 6 games, they average 390. We only did 523 against MSU. I think we will be fine.
  5. Squirrel and opossum have limits or time constraints in Arkansas?
  6. EDIT: Ah Crap... @Born Burnt and I replied at the same time. FIGHT!!!
  7. Indiana has ~15 seniors and ~20 transfers on its 2-deep. 9 of those transfers are from JMU, and most of those are seniors. Other transfers are from Ohio (not St), Wake Forest, Old Dominion, Texas Tech. He's put together a good team and he's a good coach. Can he do that in another place?
  8. For some strange reason, I decided to look at the box score from that game. Hudson Card's statline in that game resembles many of his Purdue stat lines this year. Arkansas rushed for 333 yards. The top 6 rushers (QB included) all transferred from Arkansas at some point: Trelon Smith - UTSA KJ Jefferson - UCF AJ Green - Okie State Raheim Sanders - South Carolina Dominique Johnson - TCU Malik Hornsby - ArkSt That's an epic level of turnover.
  9. It can be chalked up to arrogance and immaturity, but his approach was flawed both tactically and strategically. Players tend to have really strong relationships with position coaches and the rest of the position room. Given that, the *obvious* first step is to talk to the position coach. "Hey, I am not getting reps. What can I do? What am I missing?" etc. Second steps are to work your ass off relative to the feedback from the coach. Support your team; support your teammates. Wait for the end of year assessment and make your decisions then. If the assessment is, "Hey, you are WR5 on a team who has 4 1st or 2nd round NFL players. It's looking the same next year. What do you think?" If the answer is, "I am going to stay and work my ass off" you likely are not processed. If you decide to seek a place for more PT, there is a strong likelihood that you will get help from WR coach, OC, and possibly even HC to find a landing spot. That's what good managers do: "Hey, Johntay's a team player; he works hard; he's inquisitive; we just have too many folks right now."
  10. I have watched Indiana a bunch this year. They are a very good football team: well coached, very disciplined, very experienced. They have 15 or so senior starters on offense and defense. They have 20 transfer players in the 2-deep. Last season is irrelevant to this IU team, fwiw (not that you are saying that). I believe the spread will be tOSU -14. I alluded to this earlier, but I have a gut feel that tOSU will beat the spread, because of difference in athleticism and home-field. Perhaps I am giving too mich credit to that. Now - after thinking about it more, I can see it being closer and/or seeing an IU win. First, Cignetti is a very good coach; IMO better than Day. Second, IU does not make a lot of mistakes - they have 7 turnovers all year. 3rd, the discipline and experience should pay off. 4th, you can always count on Will Howard to shoot himself in the foot against good competition. I want an IU win, and big, btw.
  11. I think Indiana can name its score against Purdue. I've watched almost all Purdue games this year (2 in person) and Purdue is horribad. The game is at IU and I suspect they'll want to show something on 11/30 after tOSU crushes them the week before. I'm guessing tOSU will be a 14 point favorite and will win by around 20. IU will be a 27 point favorite over Purdue and will win by whatever score they want.
  12. He did not play against Oregon or Illinois, so he'll only be 0-7. Picking nits, I am
  13. Per 247 - Black was 4*. #60 nationally. #7 CB, #9 overall in TX (2024) McDonald: 4*, #51 nationally, #2 Ath, #7 overall in TX (2023)
  14. Iron Maiden in SA on Sun seems interesting. Never seen them. Recommend?
  15. Personification of a vintage Ags symbol.
  16. The Janitor made me laugh.
  17. Looked at a couple of Mr Commonsense’s posts and - dusty.
  18. Up by 40 in the SEC, especially as a newcomer, you were going to get no calls.
  19. They seem to be missing all of the Florida holding.
