  1. Is the number provided by the team somehow less reliable than the one you pulled out of your butt?
  2. Can't believe I'm saying this, but that's a solid report from Nahlin. I appreciate that he's letting the school and player make an announcement (although that probably has less to do professional courtesy and more to do with a lack of info). He's also right that Baxter is a young guy with a few years ahead of him. We've got a full stable. It's a luxury that we don't need him and that he doesn't need to rush his recovery. Hopefully he plays this season but it's not like he's lost his shot.
  3. Am I the only one that remembers Barron trying to cover receivers last season? It was not his strong suit. I sincerely doubt he will be playing corner regularly. That being said, he was amazing at covering screens and picking off bad throws to the flats. He's one of our best DBs against the run as well. At this point, he's probably our best over-all DB period (although Manny and Williams have higher upside). It seems more likely that they're working him at CB as part of an effort to put our best 11 on the field at a give time. If down and distance suggest that he's not going to have to cover a real route, then why not move him to corner and bring in the next best guy at star?
  4. I know I'm an idiot for engaging in this argument with you, but for the folks watching from home: Graham Mertz in 2023: 261/358 for 73% completions. 2,903 yards and 20 TD to 3 INTs. ESPN Rating of 157.8. Quinn Ewers in 2023: 272/394 for 69% completions. 3,479 yards and 22 TD to 6 INTS. ESPN Rating of 158.6. Mertz is a good QB. Not great, but the memes about the guy have distorted reality.
  5. The "Gist" at the beginning of the article is waaay more bullish than the rest of the article. I was halfway to full mast only before I started reading all that hedging.
  6. Honestly, that's a bit too complimentary of Aggie. At least Colin Farrell's character had the self-awareness to be suicidal after killing a child.
  7. My coach used to tell us "If you're gonna fuck up, do it at full speed and hit someone."
  8. I'm a simple man. I don't need the play-by-play. All I need is someone to tell me how excited to get about the season.
  9. Goddamnit RollLeft, not all black people are related and Washington is a very common name...<googles John David Washington> Well I'll be dipped. I had no idea.
  10. It's an old picture, Sydir has actually lost a lot of weight since then. Bryce Anderson is from there but from all reports he's pretty good. Don't think Jerry would shit talk him too hard.
  11. See, I just assumed that "Gary" posted his own version of Goatsee.
  12. The vibe of this anecdote is all over the place. I am flummoxed trying to sort out who did what and how I am supposed to feel about. Sorry about your dad, though. That's gotta be tough. I'm rapidly approaching the day when I have to care for my parents and I am not looking forward to it.
  13. In Stephen Leonard's defense, "headcase WR and colossal bust" just screams Aggie.
  14. Isn’t this kid just going to go play baseball?
  15. Byron. Son. You never stiff the hooker.
