  1. Is aggy up in arms over the video if he said “no bro, no bro” instead of “nah bruh, nah bruh”?
  2. I wish both these teams could lose. Fuck LSU and fuck Riley.
  3. Yeah, he also implied that Barnes and his fam did not notify the Texas staff and perhaps are trying may be buying the negative recruiting or simply trying to up their NIL package. Regardless, a bad look for a kid that has gone on multiple videos with ON3 about how he wanted to commit to be a leader in the class. Just makes me think he’s full of it. Sark has mentioned there are kids that say the right things and then change their tune and their recruitments become all about NIL. Not saying this is the situation here but the whole thing is odd especially not telling the staff. Either way, the way this season is looking, we may be cherry picking dudes by the end of the year. Get on the boat now or go play out in the middle of no where on maybe the most overhyped team of the off season.
  4. Huh? I thought Rink was a Texas legacy and we passed on him bc he lacks the size we want on the DL. His family would probably love for him to be at Texas but he’s not a take for us.
  5. Sark is the fucking man. So happy he’s our coach. Coaching staff stability, coaches that can develop, coaches that can recruit, good schemes, great depth, elite talent, great evaluations. It’s been 20 fucking years since a Texas head coach has had this program hitting on all cylinders like this. What’s more impressive is where we are given the shit sandwich he inherited.
  6. Yeah, just because we get snippets of what's happening in a 20 minute media window doesn't give us an accurate picture of what they are doing during the closed practices. They had Derek Williams Jr working with the 2nd team as well. Also, not sure how they split up 1st and 2nd team but it could be something as simple as the 2nd team defense is going against the 1st team offense and maybe they want a look at Barron getting reps against the #1 WRs. Also your analogy is apples to oranges. Banks plays just LT. Sark has said Barron is going to be moving around the back end. While they try him in multiple spots, it would make sense to let his back up get 1st team reps. I'm guessing Barron is going to be starting at nickel when they walk out there for the 1st play of the season and all this discussion is going to be forgotten.
  7. Barron doesn't need reps at nickel. I imagine they are getting Guilbeau as many reps as he will likely rotate in heavily. If Barron can play all 3 positions on the back end, I imagine they will sub in Guilbeau a lot if Barron is rotating around the back end if they are subbing out any of the CBs or safeties. They also had Jelani McDonald working with the 1st team... so yeah... not taking the depth chart too seriously right now. I imagine it is very likely going to be: Nickel: Barron/Guilbeau CB: Muhammad, Holmes S: Mukuba, Williams
  8. How does it generally play out when schools cannot come up with the money? I imagine contracts get presented before they sign? Is this where the players find out they aren't getting what was promised? Or is it when it comes time to fund the money?
  9. I also wonder if Texas will come in towards the end with their final offer rather than doing it now and allowing the agents/players to shop themselves and have months to find better offers to drive the price up...
  10. So pretty sure we pursued Toviano heavily and I read mulitple articles about how Toviano is a great culture fit and takes football seriously from the 9.95ers. I also remember reading him and Manny Muhammad were not going to go to the same school as they play the same position. Either way, happy he's not a longhorn with the news of his arrest.
  11. Dude, I was getting my butt whooped the first week. Running the ball effectively and then when I would see the safeties creep up, I go to play action but I would get sacked within a second of the fake handoff or have to throw on my back foot. Since then, I run the ball or throw out of 3-4 WR bunch sets with out play action or empty sets and haven't lost a game against the cpu. I was getting sacked like 6-7 times a game and throwing so many interceptions off play action. They need to fix it.
  12. Anyone play online with randoms on road to college football mode? I ended up 4-2 yesterday. Most of my wins ended up rage quitting by halftime. One 16 year old was talking so much shit after he started a game with an interception and took a quick lead only to throw 3 picks and be down 2 scores by half time. The play that made him rage quit was him pinning me at the 1 yard line on a punt and I housed it 99 yards on a HB dive play with Baxter on the very first play lmao. He lost his shit and quit. I love it.
  13. How accurate are the playbooks in respect to what the teams actually employ? In the original series, they were pretty good about each team having what they run. I read a few comments that the playbooks in this game are pretty stripped down and generic across the board. I’ve only really played with Texas in exhibition games and UTSA for my dynasty. The Texas play book is pretty spot on with tons of motion, jet sweeps, pistol/gun formation, and 2 TE sets. Baxter is a monster in the game. I played a few buddies online and they could not take him down. I don’t know if this is what Sark is intending to do but I seem to find Niblack open deep a ton. He’s such a mismatch in the game. Bond is just unfair on the jet. Haven’t found anyone that can stop it yet.
  14. Loving the game so far. The running game and jet motion is fucking fun and realistic. I actually do much better running then throwing. Also, cannot for the life of me figure out RPOs. I probably need to go through a tutorial. The jukes, spins moves, feel for the game while running is the best EA has ever done it. Defense has been wild for me. I'm either getting 7 picks a game or just getting shredded. There doesn't seem to be an in-between. I also love playing away games. Feels so much more realistic if it's a tight game, crowd is into it, and I can't audible. Just the game itself feels about as close to real life as possible compared to previous versions. Anyone have playbooks they like? I love the Texas playbook with all the jet motions. I feel like I run the ball much better. Ran the Oregon playbook and threw like 5 interceptions.
  15. So can you play against people online for a quick exhibition game? I’m trying to figure this shit out. Also, I did a quick play through against ou on Heisman mode and Quinn is sucking.
  16. "Hey Arch, here is $600 for the game and and $50k to make a twitter post about the game" Problem solved.
  17. well... i'm benching quinn the minute he takes a sack in the game...
  18. Man the in play graphics and movements are insane on the gameplay video.
  19. Just pre-ordered the deluxe version. Work and my toddler take up a ton of time but if anyone has an online dynasty that is more casual, I’m in and ready to take your 2 star recruits.
  20. Bolden has. Golden was the 3rd option on the Houston team last year…. If that’s is proving it on a college level then you’re setting the bar quite low. Cook and Moore could have those same stats at a program like Houston if they got snaps. Both dudes were blue chip WRs and both are good. Their lack of snaps isn’t an indicator of their talent considering there were 3 NFL WRs ahead of them. I imagine we’re going to see Golden in there on critical downs where we need a reliable WR like we saw JWhit as Sark has alluded to that in one of his more recent interviews. Bolden is 5’8 and 165 lbs. I’m not sure that’s what you want starting against SEC corners on an every down level. I imagine Sark is going to have “explosive play” packages for him and he will get 5-10 targets a game whether that’s in the run game like Keilan or as a WR. Also, from a roster management standpoint, Bolden is going to be out of eligibility this year so it’s not like we have to worry about him transferring out if he doesn’t get a starting title. If anyone is going to take one of the starting spots, it’s going to be Wingo. Personally, I bet he’s starting before ou.
  21. It’s going to be Bond, Cook, and Moore with Bolden and Golden mixed in heavily. The question is… who is losing their spot to Ryan Wingo because there isn’t a WR on campus as talented as him. Bobby mentioned in a live video that an agent told him that Wingo is basically the man in summer workouts.
  22. The dude giving him the sales pitch there was Evan Stewart who has yet to play a single game for Oregon. Not exactly a model representation of a player with good culture or habits. Let just be real here and not beat around the bush. He got paid and can smoke and party in Oregon. Hell I’d probably take that trade off when I was 18 and wanted to get away from family too.
  23. Not sure he took a back seat. I imagine like the rest of us, Johnson probably thought Moore would end up at Texas. Maybe this makes him rethink his opportunities at Texas as far as depth chart and playing time.
  24. Honestly, WR is the least of our concerns. We’re going to pull very high end portal players every year and we’ve got a stacked room. Maybe we can use that Moore NIL money to get players at positions of need.
  25. He picked Oregon? LSU, Texas, tOSU are churning out NFL WRs… and he picks Oregon lmao. Well, we were never going to win this one.
