  1. The story about one of his neighbors with no arms fighting with his neck gets me every single time. The neck lurch 😂
  2. Very great, and well-informed, level headed breakdown. I had never heard that about Beae, either, but honestly, this is where being in the spectrum has its advantages, amongst a myriad of other things. But being basically a human target and not getting rattled is completely different. I dislike McGuire, but not tech itself, just want to make that clear. You guys have had some awesome players over the years, and I enjoyed every game I've been to. I've never been harassed or yelled at, and have met some really awesome tech grads through my cousins and friends, who are fellow grads. If it were literally anyone else coaching y'all, much like Briles (albeit far, far much different circumstances regarding the two, quite obviously), I would actually go back to a game. But, I won't. However, I will be pulling for you guys to get to the CCG, and even the CFP because, as you said, I want to see the measuring stick between what McGuire cn do with the talent against someone else with either equal or even lesser, but still a threat (think Jeanty-led Boise St last year). It will be interesting. Really pissed it's not a night game on Saturday. That's absolutely tragic. Lubbock at night is something completely different. It's like cursed or something. I call it Monkey Paw stadium at night. It's crazy, weird, and fun as hell when you're playing a team that's (via polls) equally ranked.
  3. Have you checked how many children have passed away since Kelly was fired? I imagine those numbers have spiked.
  4. Ant Hill will be a top 10 pick this coming draft. We will miss him so much. Hopefully Bo Barnes and especially Atkinson can be what Hill is. He has all the talent in the world, he just needs reps and learning the speed of the game.
  5. It's literally the only thing they can do to contain him. I can't even count how many clotheslines he had against Vandy, it was insane.
  6. He is too 8 in the nation in sacks with eight, correct? I know an A&M player has like 9 (I can't remember who), but they've been against the sisters of the poor. Texas leads the nation in sacks with 34. Simmons hasn't even leveled up yet. He will feast on Arky and Aggy for sure, and I'm sure he will have at least one sack against UGA. Honestly, I'm just glad he has help with Burke taking the next step so teams can't just focus on Simmons.
  7. I randomly checked the Texas vs aggy game, and they havs aggy as the underdog at #3 currently lol. Even ESPN, who employ the developmentally delayed, know that aggy is far, far over ranked and have played literally nobody, while it shows we've beaten two top-10 teams. It still has us as underdogs to Georgia (for obvious reasons), but I actually don't think we'll lose like I did earlier in the season. They're a really good team, but extremely flawed, and their QB, Stockton is average. Good RB room, but OK WR'S. Cash needs to be covered at all times, he's sneaky af. Obviously watch out for Stockton running, but he's not a big guy, so they should probably let him know he's going to get wrecked if he runs into our DE's and LB's. He's not 24 and built like a wrestler. A la Pavia. Defense is sokid, but if we can just be slightly above average we have the advantage with Wingo, Mosley, Washington, Moore, and Jagger, and Arch's running. But we have to get a running game going. It can't just be Wisner taking the bulk, we need Baxter to step up in a big way. Fuck, even get Simon involved for all I care. Just literally get a running game going to balance it out. Defensively, we're pretty even across the board, although we have better LB's and Edges, not sure either team has elite front DL, but both have big mf'ers who will and can get to the QB in a hurry. I liked our OL lineup we had against Vandy, and I hope we stick with them. Sarkisian needs to not panic and just dumb down the plays and don't do fucking trick play bullshit. I think the game will be close, like a 3 pt difference. Neither team is scoring more than 24.
  8. I am sad we are three-quarters already through the season. That's a bummer. We waited for 182 years for it to finally arrive, and poof!, it's already coming to a close. I don't care about the NFL or their playoffs. The NFL is boring unless my team is playing. Indiana is fucking awesome and I love it! They are absolutely a top 5 team. I can see them making the semis, and depending on who they match up against, I can also see them making the NCG. Can they win it? Not sure, but I don't bet against Cignetti. It would be the biggest NC game winner of all-time. Unranked-2/3* recruits to winning it all would be absolute heroin.
  9. Yeah, we play Duke tomorrow at 8, but tonight will still be fun. I'm glad CBB season is back. It gives us fans something to watch along with football, and then baseball in February. It's like the perfect spot for the games. If no teams are worth watching in CFB, I guarantee you can find a CBB game worth watching. It's beautiful.
  10. I just wanted to throw Sam Pittman beat Joey Mcguire in his third year coaching. It makes me feel better after Billy Napier fucked our faces.
  11. I'm finished. Got worked up, I'll admit it. Tbh, after I hit submit, I completely forgot I even went on a drooling rampage. It was 'click', OK what can I do before basketball tonight?
  12. Jon Gruden is an average coach at best, and he won a SB with Tony Dungy's roster, then he managed to completely dismantle it and they finally fired him. He's just Jeff Fisher with a weird erection for talking schemes. His regular season record is 117-112, and adding the postseason it goes to 122-117. He's mediocre, and I'm being kind. Just because someone eats, sleeps, drinks, urinates, shits, dreams of football 24/7 doesn't make them a good coach. Gruden fucking sucks lol. I'm not even thankful for the SB win we got in his first year. Dungy should get an honorary ring for putting that roster together for him.
  13. UF: That Florida team has more talent in its two-deep than tech has on either side of the ball. It's a coaching issue witth Florida, not a talent issue. We lost to a team that had as much talent as we did, with a QB who happened to be ahead of Arch in learning since he played in real games, and he's not some 3* kid punching above his weight. He was the #3 overall player in the country and #1 QB. He has high 4/5* WR's he's throwing to, and a run game. Shouid we have beaten them? Based on record ar the time, yes. But Sarkisian got out-coached, which has already been an issue, we had the worst OL in the country because Flood, but we can't say we lost to a team with lesser talent. That same talent took Georgia to the wire. Transitive property or not, that team has the skill to beat anybody if they had a modicum of coaching. Miss St: And again, getting out-coached has been a problem, but Lebby can coach, we see that, and the blame goes to both Sark, Flood, and PK regarding Mississippi State, but the heart of our defense, our defensive QB, Taaffe was out, and it shows how much he's needed. Regardless, the Mississippi State offense is miles better than tech, but defensively, yeah, they're fucking abysmal. This same Mississippi State offense somehow has Brennan Thompson with over 700 yards receiving and 6 TD's. Yes, the same Brennan Thompson who was a pussy at both Texas and ou. He has 100 more receiving yards than our #1. They also have two RB's with close to 500 yards a piece, combined with 13 TD's between the two. 3 players who have 19 offensive TD's. I would say that's a pretty fucking impressive considering what they were last year. It's embarrassing that we had to come back and go to OT against them because our offensive was more necrotic than a body Ted Bundy keep going back to for pleasure. UK: Kentucky, yeah I've got nothing. That's just inexcusable, but the Arch from that game and the CTE Arch we have now are miles apart, as is the OL. Every team has a game where they're arguably punching below their weight and playing to the same level, which again, Sark loves to do for whatever reason. I will call this our mulligan game, but realistically Arch and the OL had no rhythm as we were starting a true frosh tackle at G for the second time (really the first since his start against UF didn't come until the 3rd when Sarkisian knew he was getting clowned by a then fixing to be fired coach, but the defense showed up against a frosh who was 31/39 248 and an INT, while Arch was an embarrassing 12/27 132 0/0. Rock fight Vandy: I don't care if they were overrated or not, they were still ranked #9 with a 24-year old QB and a weapon at TE in Stowers and WR Junior Sherrill. Arch absolutely lit their asses up, but we took our foot off the gas because derp derp derp, Sark. Their comeback was almost 90% ref-paid. Unbelievable bullshit calls on par with the Rig XII, which if we're being honest, it would not surprise me in the least if they were in that conference at some point in their careers. The 2-pt pylon bs, the no-call DPI on Moseley's endzone missed catch, the roughing the QB shit against Filsaime that unsurprisingly wasn't reviewed, or can't be, I don't know. But yeah, Pavia and co, as much of a pussy as he is, would still take tech to the brink, if not outright beat them. We still put up as much points on them as Bama, but Bama didn't get screwed. We beat ou's ass with a switch my grandmother personally picked out. We, like most teams have gotten better, and some worse. I can say with confidence we would beat tech if we had to play them Saturday. Would they put up points? Yeah, probably. We've yet to shut out a team not named SHSU. Would we? Without question. I don't know what clicked in Arch's head after his concussion in the 4th or whatever, but he not only got better, but our line play got better. I'll also say tech would have no answer for Burke, Simmons, Hill, Lefau, Brad Spence, Hero Kanu, Ty'Anthony Smith. We lead the country in sacks with (34), which honestly surprised me. Sack leaders - Simmons (8), leads the country, Hill (3.5), Lefau (1), Smith (1), Taaffe (1), Kanu (2), he's been a blessing, Burke (3), Trey Moore (3), Maraad Watson (2), Muhammad (1), Lance Jackson (2), Spence (3) another blessing who is a beast, January (2), Z. Umeozulu (1), Orogbo (1) I keep forgetting about him. Even our front four are getting to the QB. It's our secondary that's been the issue the last 2 games (sans UF's 29 pts in week 5), not the DL front. Guilbeau is absolute dog shit and someone needs to step up so he can step down to the bench. But he's the only one with experience on that side of the ball, so we're stuck with him. Littleton has been the biggest surprise, #7 in tot tackles on the team, with 31 tot tackles overall, and 2 INT'S, 2 PD, 1 fumble recovery. Guilbeau is #6 in tot tackles with 34, 1 INT his entire career, and that was this year, 3 PD. He's been picked on repeatedly the last 2 weeks because we don't have Mcdonald or Taaffe backing him up. Taaffe has been out the last two games. He's #3 in tot, with only Hill (#1) and Jelani Mcdonald (#2) ahead of him, and Mcdonald was also out last game after the 1st qtr I believe, as was Muhammad, so we had to play Filsaime (RS-FR), Jonah Williams (FR), Kobe Black (SOPH), Derrick Williams (JR). That's not a recipe for success with only Williams having started for the first two seasons and coming back from a torn ACL. Everyone else basically has mop up duty experience. We even now have a power-up with Niblett finding his balls and taking them to the house in 2 out of the last 3 games. Niblett is #2 in total yards with 420, behind some kid at Louisville who has 2 more yards, but Niblett leads the nation in avg. Our DL would push their o-line around due to sheer strength and size combination. One of their top OL is listed at 6'0 290, and their starters are a mix of an FCS transfer, a MAC transfer, and a transfer from UNC. Only two returning starters at C and G. So no continuity going into the season. As for their defense, it's hard to tell considering the league they play in. I have no idea, and the Rig XII is massive step down from the SEC/B1G. Their OOC schedule was an absolute joke, so pick between a winless a winless in conference Oregon St at 2-7 overall, a 3-5 Kent State, or an FCS bottom-feeder AR-Pine Bluff. Tech has beaten one ranked team, #17 Utah. I guess we will find out how good they are (I guess) when they play BYU Saturday. They are still coached by Joey Mcguire and got beaten pretty handedly by Sam Pittman's Arkansas in their bowl game last year.
  14. Yeah, Mayfield's stats were pretty bad ass, and I hate myself for acknowledging that. Forgot about Hawaii with Chang and Brennan. Wasn't Brennan accused of rape or something at the time? I seem to recall he was actually a USC commit but something happened.
  15. I remember them losing their shit when Landon Collins announced on ESPN and his mom was in abject horror and disappointment. And then before Collins, Joe McKnight going to USC instead of LSU people in that stare went apocalyptic. Landon Collins will forever be my favorite commitment video of all-time. Just chef's kiss
  16. May I ask what that is, exactly? I honestly don't know.
  17. Dude, he looks like an AIDS patient from the 80s. He's not looking so good, even for his age. I've seen 70-year olds look fit, not like they're lacking exposure to the sun and a vitamin D deficiency. I actually looked this up, and weirdly (to me, at least) it's Mississippi, then Louisiana, and GA/TEX/FL
  18. 88 passes attempted. Wow. Has that ever been done before? That's absolute negligence to your QB. The fact he hasn't had to have elbow or arm surgery to this day with the way he was used and gets hit is nothing short of divine intervention. I know he had wrist surgery, but how his arm is still intact should be signed up and studied by scientists for The New England Journal of Medicine.
  19. That would be a great game because it would show McDui and Cody Campbell what parity in talent really looks like. I don't actually "hate" tech the way some do, I guess because I have two cousins and friends who graduated from there, so I've been to so many games and met a ton of solid tech folks. At one point I hadn't missed a game between us vs them until around 2014? or so. Then I just checked out because we were just so bad. I went to a few games like when ND came to town and mostly marquee games and the RRS. I would like to actually see how far ahead they are vs other Big XII teams to gauge if they're more in the realm of USCe who has some 5* talent but you can't count on them, or if they're just Kentucky with a better QB most years.
  20. That's absolutely cool af, man. He seems like a genuinely good person who just happens to have this knack for comedic timing. His story about doing coke with a taxi driver who picked up a hooker the night before he went on Opie and Andy (I think that's their names? I've never listened to them) and he ended up putting his pants on backwards, then met Darryl Strawberry, and saying he definitely has the nose for all that coke lol. I can't remember the exact line he said, but I busted out laughing 😂 I really don't understand that hate. I love his humor. Is it because he's famous now or something? Dude literally just chills with random people. He talked about how he was invited to a party and he said he would only come if his friend could, and he picked out this random homeless guy who both got af in a limo, and at the party people heard glass break upstairs, ran up there only to see their stuff was stolen and that guy jumped out the window lmao. I just...I can't. Him telling stories about growing up are based. What a life, man. I didn't even know he was on some MTV show until years later. The guy seems honest, he's hilarious, and just seems like he would fit right in with the rest of us degenerates. The hate, imo, is unwarranted. It's not like he's Dane Cook (who I don't personally find funny, but I get his hate is stemmed from his meteoric rise to fame in the early aughts because of MySpace, so these older comedians, or I should say old-school comedians hadn't picked up on how to get even more people at their shows unless you were like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, etc. So his "hate" was more jealousy). I think Dane Cook can be funny in some roles, but with Theo it just comes weirdly natural, and almost poetic. He's just so quick-witted, but in this self-deprecating way that I love. I dunno, man. If you talk to him anytime soon, tell him he has a fan on here. That's cool as hell that you know one another. All I know is a good friend of mine who's an actor in Hollywood (not anyone remotely famous, but has a solid reputation with famous celebrities that I've met and we've hung out with, and also gets us into invite only party's and whatnot, get to see movies well before they're released to the public, so that's all I've got 🤷‍♂️).
  21. We should hide out next to Jester and beat him with a bat during the off-week! Do players still live in that wretched void of infernal wasteland? Ugh. I swear I got parvo living there.
  22. I absolutely agree with you about the mental aspect, and yeah, that for sure defeated UF's mindset and lifted UGA. It sucks, but they're emotional games, for both players, and sadly, refs. I truly believe in ref bias. We saw it yesterday with Pavia pulling Filsaime down with him to make it look like he was being "roughed", but then the pylon bullshit and the no-call DPI that Moseley should have easily gotten truly, and I mean truly convinced me. Not to mention all of the holding that wasn't being called, and I literally saw their RT grab Burke and slam him on the ground on his stomach. Then, at the very minimum 5 times, Simmons was being clotheslined. All of the times our entire front were on the ground? Listen, I get football players are strong, but give me a fucking break. You aren't putting Brevard, Kanu, Shaw, January, Watson, Lavon Johnson, Sharma, Charles, Terry, Simmons, Burke, Jackson, and Vasek all on the ground. These mf'ers weigh over 300 lbs, and our edges weigh at the very minimum 240 (Simmons) and at most 285 (Justus Terry), or even Ant Hill who weighs 240, and Spence also weighs 240. I refuse to believe that shit. It took me back to the Okie Lite game in what, 2015 where we had some absurd number of ridiculous, ticky tacky calls, and OSU had zero throughout the entire game until like late in the 4th? Or when Strong got tossed for "bumping into the ref", even though it was blatantly obvious the ref did it to cause a scene? The game last night UF/UGA I saw some pretty ridiculous stuff called, but holy shit, nothing compared to the shit we got hosed on.
  23. My buddies and I came off my couch as soon as the ball landed. We were for sure he caught it. Then, when we saw he didn't, but was basically being put in a chokehold, we were all pissed. Neither of them even have Texas ties, but seeing Pavia's mouth being shoved into his own asshole was enough for them to care. One is a Penn grad and the other UNC, but seeing Manning absolutely dominate, and Pavia getting sacked 6 fucking times was heroin. That got them pumped. So pissed about the no-call DPI. Fuck those refs. Seriously, fuck em.
  24. Don't make me be "that guy." Ugh. I hate myself. It's except*
