Another head-to-head against Sark. There were rumors that this sitting SEC lineman would portal to tu, but The Elk beat them again!

Elko notched an overwhelming recruiting victory, successfully retaining more than 10% of the blue-chip recruits committed to his school. At this rate, his rivals may have utterly failed to complete the destruction of aggy football for at least another month.

When you put it that way, I guess you are right. His female relations probably deserve some rapey behavior, too; after all, we all know such things happen around big time athletes sometimes.

This. I can believe that Sark pushed for a delay in signing to allow an in-home and an OV. I have trouble believing that Sark would add someone to the team merely because they looked good from afar.

Aggy '25 Bread for the Inbred

You guys are killing me. 25 26 -> 4 Edit: the Chicago song, for those unaware, refers to the time of circa 3:34 AM to 3:35 AM, not random numbers; it is "to" not "two."

Steaming #2 leading the train

The inclusion of the word anagrammatic in his handle among aggies is pretty much pathognomonic for trollism. That word does not appear in either of the books in their library.

They don't actually have to replace *all* or even almost all their losses. They could be significantly down and still be competitive to get within a few games of their running .500 two-year average.

Never go full aggy.

I don't believe in being a grammar nazi, but between he is the reciprocal error of him said. We write freely, but we did go to school.

Employee status and caps would not undo NIL. NIL is the inevitable result of living in a market economy-- people are allowed to decide how to spend their money and to make deals with other people. As long as CFB is in demand, it will exist in some format. Compliance will be chasing a different list of concerns, but the world will keep turning, long after the NCAA has withered into irrelevance.

There are numerous theories out there about what exactly led to Nebraska's downfall. What is decreasingly in doubt is whether they are going through a "down time" or whether they are past the point of no return. (Narrator: they passed it long ago.) Of all the places on earth a Husker fan should be talking football smack (if there are any), a Texas community is not on the list. Seriously. Next time someone from UNL is tempted to mock Texas football, he should try to remember how 12-year-olds sound when they think they have an insightful view that hadn't occurred to the adults in the room. Even if Nebraska fans are unable to resurrect the glory days of Husker football, it is not too late to be the fan base everyone thought you were before the anti-Texas pettiness became so widespread. Hook'em and welcome to those who have something worth reading to contribute.

"Iffin he R Goede, less makum arrs." Probably.

I think their bump is going to be a bit of a forgettable redneck baby bump.

They not only are not going to make the field, they will be. fortunate to go bowling. They are getting creamed by the portal and will be in a first year with a new staff. They face Texas, Mizzou, LSU, ND, @UF, @Auburn, and @MSU. For them, those are all losable, and frankly most are not winnable Their last road win was in '21.

Carry the "include FSU" to its logical conclusion. Imagine there is a "We are Marshall" type plane crash as teams are flying home from games on championship weekend. Should a "deserving" team be included even if all of the scholarship players and previous coaches would be watching from their eternal reward? FSU deserves nothing. The rubric spelled this situation out, was published and uncontested prior to the injury, and was followed. FSU is just one more team that won't be hoisting the trophy in January, and fortunately we are not wasting a playoff spot to see that embarrassingly proven (and all the while taking a chance that the team that would if included have won out sat at home).

Leach (RIP) figured it out. The wiring in the pre-motor-planning cortex is not generally susceptible to coaching an inaccurate passer into being a consistently accurate one.

You are right. "Resiliency" has been insidiously creeping into English usage since those hippies started throwing it around in the 1600s. Really, the whole transition from Latin to English among the educated in the 1500s and 1600s was a mistake. People should just use resiliens.

Well, aggy is likely to be one of the 12 best teams on this schedule (with 2024 likely being a down year for Bowling Green).

Most analyses of the game seem to agree on a few key points: 1. Texas on offense versus Washington on defense is relative strength on relative weakness, and Texas should score in the 30s. The hope is that this will be the difference in the game. Vegas seems to think it will be, with the good guys favored by single digits. 2. Washington running is unlikely to be how Texas loses, if we do. 3. Washington passing is dangerous, and our lack of combined athleticism and recognition in our safeties puts us at particular risk. Some worry that this will actually be the difference in the game. Washington will have more help at edge rusher than they had previously, so their defense may fare a bit above expectation. We are out one key man at safety for half the game, and that doesn't help. I have not seen much analysis of Oregon's secondary. If someone knows of a good one, I would be interested to see it. The 2 games against Oregon, to me, are the best sense we are likely to get of how good Washington is against a meaningful opponent in a game that matters, so I am curious how our secondary stacks up against Oregon's. My overall impression is that this game will follow the bounce of the ball. Assuming it does not bounce badly, Texas should win. When we put all three phases together, we have not just been winning; we have been dominating.

The time from now until the plaque expires is shorter than what has elapsed since their last title.

I had figured aggy for an easy 8 wins in '24 with their schedule that features no games against UGA, Bama, or OU. With their roster implosion, though, I have reconsidered. They are in danger of missing bowl eligibility: ND L -- aggy gets run off their own field McNeese St W -- aggy controls the game for 4 quarters and proves they are big boys @ UF L -- Pillow fight goes to the home team Bowling Green W -- Looks like the Elk has figured things out and the world better look out Arky @ Jerryworld W -- Gritty win over SEC team. World starts to see what aggy already knows. click click. LSU L -- might have overlooked them and failed to account for being their superbowl @ Auburn L -- another road loss; who could have foreseen it? @ MSU toss-up -- chance to break the road losing streak @USCe toss-up -- ditto Mizzou L -- LOL NMSU W -- The sips want no part of this smash mouth team Texas L -- herp O/U 5 wins, believable range 4-7
