  1. HAHAHAHA GET FUCKED KIRBY YOU STUPID BITCH! I am officially in "trust the corches" mode, holy shit.
  2. It’s not great, not terrible. Shame we lost Mills, but there’s some quality there. The room is pretty stacked and will be for a while, so it’s hard to get too worried about it. DT recruiting is the real concern right now. A little light at CB as well.
  3. I was at the game - it was actually the last one my dad attended with me - but our tickets are in the corner of the NW endzone. So we saw the run but missed the show I guess.
  4. I swear, Blue's reputation as a running back is built entirely on that one play.
  5. I'd imagine that DT has to be one of the positions that commands the highest salary after QB. Maybe DE or LT are around the same, but DT has to be up there.
  6. Are you sure? I will readily acknowledge that you know more about X's and O's than I do, but it looked like Ewers was reading how the DE played the RB and pulled the ball when he saw the DE move inside. To me, that looks like a zone read, where the QB pulls to run, not pass. I remember that one of our receivers was drifting out there, but he didn't seem like he was running a route. If it was a route, it was one of the most low-effort bullshit routes I've ever seen. But again, I recognize that I may be missing something.
  7. A huge problem with both of Ewers' turnovers against A&M was playcalling. As you said, RTDB in the red zone. Why are we going for a low percentage perimeter pass? It could have worked but for the tip, but I still don't like it. But playcalling on the second turnover (the fumble) was inexcusable. We have a hobbled QB who was not a great runner to begin with, why are we asking him to do zone read in the red zone? Did Sark think Manning was in? Makes no sense. That doesn't excuse how careless Ewers was being with the football, but the problem started with the playcall. I don't agree - in 2023, Sanders had 45 receptions for 682 yards and 2 TDs. His longest reception (catch and run) was 50 yards. This season, Helm has 48 receptions for 600 yards and 5 TDs. His longest reception was 49 yards. Sanders was a great receiving TE, but his numbers aren't materially better than Helm's. On top of that, Helm has been absolutely mission critical in giving Ewers an outlet on tough downs. Ewers clearly trusts Helm and feels more confident throwing him the ball. In other words, I don't think the numbers support the argument that Sanders was better and I don't think the eye test supports it either.
  8. Are these controversial statements? You could argue that Sanders is a better pure receiver than Helm but (1) that's debatable and (2) Helm is the better TE over all. And Williams is his third season and his first as a starter and is already at least as good as Jones was as a 5th year.
  9. Honest question - what is going on with the fumbles in the RB room? Is it really that hard to hold onto the football? It doesn't seem like other schools have this problem, but maybe I haven't been paying attention? I know that "hit the ball" is being taught more and more as a standard part of tackling, but that's hardly novel and you would think the coaching / players would have adjusted at this point.
  10. The response to the Jake Ehlinger sign is so predictable. (1) "It was fake! A conspiracy to make us look bad!" immediately followed by (2) "And even if it was real, whatabout the t-sip sign about the bonfire!"
  11. I apologize for doubting your description of his physique. He is truly a wad of chewed bubble gum on pencils.
  12. Man, don't you know anything? They were like 3 plays away from beating us... with a FRESHMAN QB! That's basically as good as a win. Just wait til next year, sips.
  13. I'm pretty much good with moving on, but I am curious - is this supposed to be a pic of the whole table? Like, are there other schools on there with little tchotchkes and shit or is it just OU?
  14. Why are you assuming its the latter, especially with regard to DT? "Enormous, fast, and mean" is pretty good fit for any scheme.
