  1. I’m not sure it’s fair to question whether aggy is human. Even Neanderthal was capable of some interbreeding with h sapiens.
  2. Describing the players who play a given position or position group as a “unit” seems somewhat at odds with the etymology and traditional use of that word as well. Position groups do not function in isolation and are made up of multiple individuals. Maybe we should start a support group for people who struggle sometimes to adapt to the fluid nature of language.
  3. Anyone who has lurked here and has an IQ over 80 should be at least rudimentarily acquainted with the fact that this is not WelcomingHorns or KidGloveHorns.
  4. McGriff from Ole Miss for those wanting the surprise spoiled. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/auburn-football/wesley-mcgriff-auburn-tigers-ole-miss-rebels-hire-db-coach-2019/
  5. We don’t have a roster packed with returning starters, but we have been on a steep upslope of talent/development combination since Herman took over. Instead of wondering who will line up where there should be an OT, we now have problems like whether our uber-talented S will have to function as an LB in a shuffle that keeps our decent-not-great 2nd year LB on the bench. We’re not the ‘05 team yet, but we look good to me.
  6. Auburn decommit season should start no later than 12/1/19. If word gets out about the new coach prior to the iron bowl thrashing, the schedule might move up. If it is an exciting hire, that could mitigate things.
  7. Is that like post hock ergo propter hock— the fallacy that things went to hell because you are too leveraged?
  8. We reason (and rightly so, it would seem) that Texas does not deploy its divitiae alumnorum in an organized fashion to buy players. We benefit from unofficial and undirected support like $100 handshakes and "good jobs" for players. Is that about the extent of it? Does Herman work as hard to prevent it as Mack ostensibly did? Try to avoid learning what he doesn't want to know? How would we know how much "visit transportation assistance" and other SEC-style "love" springs up organically to help our team?
  9. Sorry, I thought he was born and brought up in the US (Hawaii). I was using "overseas" to refer to foreign countries.
  10. Honest question: who was the last overseas prospect to succeed on a high level as a D1 QB? Somehow my gestalt impression is that is unlikely to work out, no matter how physically freaky he is.* *until he transfers to OU for his last year of eligibility
  11. Is that what our OL wore under their uniforms circa 2010-2017?
  12. JT King played for Bible and coached against DKR. He opined that Cherry was the best coach we ever had.
  13. Yeesh! I hadn't realized it was that bad. Pitt at 7-6 (6-2) was in sole possession of first place of the Coastal Division. And UNC beat them last year.
  14. The difference is that LSU will have a lot more talent bumbling on the field.
  15. Hopefully prescient. Better still would be quick strike leading to jumped receiver screens and pick 6s.
  16. Is that like when OU has a "cream out" or aggy has a "moron out?"
  17. You must not work at a hospital
  18. For those who need a reminder, almost is just a special case of NOT NOT losing to Kansas in the context of a team that otherwise had a great season is generally a poor comparison for LOSING to Kansas as part of an otherwise craptastic season. It is very aggy to play the, "assume every other part of the past doesn't change, but switch this one variable in a way that helps my argument, and voila!" game. Mack was mailing it in at the end, but using 2004 as a mitigating factor for 2016 scores zero points with me.
  19. Truth. We aren’t “withstand[ing] the surge.” Instead we are “show[ing] them what they signed up for.”
  20. The eyes of Texas are ready to beat your ass all the live long day
  21. We may just get new data points for those wanting to continue this exciting line of inquiry. Strong will be starting year three of his USF Bulls stint, having created a 7-6 juggernaut out of the 11-2 dumpster fire he inherited. Meanwhile, to count to 7 wins for UNC prior to this year, you’d have to go all the way back to 11/5/2016. Can Mack stop the pain this year and manage 6 wins? Can Charlie? Tune in December 2019 for the answer.
  22. Go put on your best jorts, get that last can of spam out of your pantry, light the couch back up, and have yourself a rust-belt recruiting wake.
  23. I’ve never been bored enough to troll this place by pretending to be an aggy who is pretending not to be.
