  1. My big thing with the AAS is I could put up with their bullshit if they were actually good at their jobs. All those AAS reporters were running their mouths about Herman returning after that CDC statement when everyone knew Herman was a dead man walking. Then you have Bohls openly mocking Texas fans on Twitter about his sources saying "no chance Texas goes to the SEC." They're terrible at their jobs.
  2. This is going to shock you but AAS is once again wrong. WV was only down 1 starter against Texas. I swear these guys will do anything in their power to discredit Texas.
  3. Isn't Cameron Ward also projected to land at Ole Miss? That's a nice QB and RB combo if they land both those guys. I would take Ward over a lot of these other QBs in the portal. I was worried aggy might go after Ward.
  4. No. They were just bad coaches that are now losing at other schools or have been fired at other schools. They will never get a job as good as Texas again. That says nothing about the attractive nature of Texas as a school. Which is why Texas continues to hire top 10ish coaches across the board in almost every sport recently (see Schaefer, White, Beard, Floreal, etc). The recent failure at Texas in football has to do with hiring bad coaches but it will always be a school that attracts top tier coaches.
  5. Drew will be gone the moment he's offered a top tier job.
  6. Texas would have been so bad this season if Shaka was still here. Joplin, Ellis, and Itejere are hardly playing for Marquette. Tamar Bates is getting about 20 minutes a night at Indiana. Texas was likely going to need all 4 of those guys to be significant contributors this season even with the transfer portal. 3 or 4 conference wins is my guess.
  7. Neto is the most underrated recruit in this class. Glad the recruiting services are catching up.
  8. Texas forces a bunch of turnovers and they don't send other teams to the FT line. That's the formula for having a good defense. So far the two things I'm most pleased with from Beard are 1) Shot selection. The offense is still inconsistent at times but I rarely see us jacking shots like we did under Shaka. 2) Disciplined defensively. Popovich has always said the best defenses are the ones that can defend without fouling and this Texas team is doing that.
  9. Watching how aggys will change their tune on DJ Durkin will be amusing.
  10. This is amusing. Baylor dominated Ole Miss in the run game (averaging 6.8 yards per carry and nearly 300 yards rushing). Once the Ole Miss QB was out with an injury Baylor wisely stuck with the run game and kept things conservative. Somehow aggy thinks it's a good thing their DC just gave up 300 yards rushing to Baylor. That propjoesays account has also tweeted constantly about the Briles stuff but I guess he's now cool with aggy hiring a dude that killed a player. The hypocrisy will be great during this entire thing.
  11. The aggy SECRant thread is amusing. I'll gladly side with Lobo on this one. Not only is DJ Durkin a lame duck hire, but his history makes him a piece of shite. He was in charge of a program that got a player killed.DO. NOT. WANT.I'd much rather give Santucci the keys to the defense if Durkin is the only other alternative. No amount of Billy Liucci spin is going to change the fact that he killed a kid. We're A&M. I'm all for cheating, stealing play calls, or even faking a kid's grades just to make him eligible. But hiring a murderer or a Briles is where I draw the line.And if that doesn't change your mind, then maybe the following stats for Ole Miss' 2021 season will;#100 on Total defense #101 in Rushing defense #95 in Passing defense
  12. Durkin is a good recruiter. That's about the only thing that makes sense with him being hired at aggy. That's what he was on Muschamp's staff (I.e. a recruiter). From a purely play calling/scheme perspective, it doesn't make much sense at all.
  13. It's one thing for fans to discuss the Carr rumors on an online forum but of course FCB would ask a question based on random twitter rumors. This just incentivizes Tech fans to start other random rumors because our blowhard local media will feed the frenzy.
  14. Texags has the biggest group of morons I've seen. In fairness to aggys, their SEC Rant board isn't bad at all and they're fairly objective as long as it's not a discussion about Texas. They don't constantly suck Jimbo's dick and call it like it is which is why it's not surprising they are very meh on a potential Durkin hire.
  15. Probably so but if there's regression from Elko it's not a good thing for Jimbo unless he miraculously adjusts his offensive system. Almost the entire aggy rant board dislikes this hire outside of the resident homer in Hugh McElroy.
  16. Elko had the 15th and 25th ranked defenses (per FEI) at ND/WF two years prior to A&M. Plus, Elko operated out of a 4 man front. That hire made a lot more sense than this one.
  17. Durkin didn't field top 5 defenses at Florida. Everyone knows that was Muschamp's defense. It's not disingenuous at all. It's like giving Flood credit for offensive production at Texas. He's an OC with a title but he's not running the offense at all.
  18. He's not a terrible DC but he's a big drop off from Elko IMO. I'm not even going to include his time at Florida because that was Muschamp's defense. Here are the FEI defensive ranks as a coordinator since then- Michigan (19th)- Ole Miss (118th and 35th) Durkin did a good job of improving the Ole Miss defense this year but that's not anywhere close to a home run hire especially when you factor in the part he's primarily operated out of a 3 man front. As somebody said earlier in this thread, his resume as a DC is actually very limited when you exclude the Florida years because of Muschamp. I don't understand this hire at all if it's true.
  19. Texas is the top team in the country in turnover percentage. Bob is mad.
  20. Shaka has lost 5 of 6. Going to be a long year for Marquette.
