  1. D'antre who? I'm glad he is going to go home to hang around with other entitled 4 stars back home. Now, they can all play grab-ass on the bench for 4 years in Florida while our guys are being developed to win championships. Give me a roster of low rated guys who bleed orange and kneel at the Sark of the Covenant. We can go portal hunting for players from smaller schools that want to play ball, not be entitled drama queens. Good riddance. Did I do that right?
  2. this is kind of bullshit on the part of Jim and he is starting to look like a bigger asshole than usual Michigan paid him a shit load of money to kind of chug along and "win some games" while making sure to lose to tOUS plus MSU, or Iowa, or ND, or Wisconsin in the same season and to take a bowl L and finally they were pissed off enough to call him on his bullshit, but did not fire him and reworked his contract so he actually has some incentives and hey fuck what do you know IT WORKED and now he is back acting like he needs to get retribution for all of that and that they should have just rode that out and handed him an extension going down the same path and not even thought of firing him because "well you know we will win it all eventually" vs sitting down with him and not firing him and incentivizing him and EXTENDING him I am sure he thinks his shit does not stink and if Michigan had fired him he would have landed some other top job or would have easily gone back to the NFL for a good team and maybe he would have, but he also could have ended up at some shittier situation with a short leash because people knew his shit smelled a little and if he could not get it done at Michigan then no need to act like he walks on water now he is just dragging the bullshit out.....much less all the little infractions and the attitude of "fuck the NCAA let the university deal with it I am busy".....which is all fine and good if people want to hate on the NCAA (which is run by the universities), but it is still shit that Michigan has to clean up of his and an example of if you have him around you have to put up with his bullshit even if he is not winning it all and losing to the teams his school most wants to beat he was not kicked in the head enough as a kid or something he is just not right
  3. Nah, we would have recommended him. We love dumpster fires, couch burning, etc. Plus makes tOSU less relevant, a win for Texas going into the playoff era.
  4. We don't need all of them, they didn't win last go around at full froth, and if we peel off just 3% nationally it's a blowout. So even if it's a 97% retention rate (it's not), it's a crippling blow. Our turn out is all that matters. Them helping us is just gravy on top.
  5. Plus Kendall is kind of an aggy homer. Kind of. Man I’m pumped for the season to start. I think Flores is gonna take a sophomore year Campbell like leap at the plate. Same with Thomas, dude needs to be a leader this year. Curious to see how Galvan looks after an offseason. Also pumped to see how Hurley looks with the tweak to his delivery. All in all, my expectations are to win the conference and host all the way to Omaha. If we get freshman year Witt, we’re going to do some serious damage
  6. Fuk Rodgers, but everything he's saying sounds true based on what I've been bitching about for at least two years now. Dak does not suck, but I'm not going to even bother making that argument anymore, nobody hates the Cowboys QB more than Cowboys fans. I'll just say that Baker Mayfield is just the most recent example of a shitty QB that can win games with good coaching. I don't know yet if Jordan Love is any good, but he has good coaching, and anybody could have completed some of those passes when there wasn't a db within 5 yards. Even if Dak were average we'd have far more success if our dumbfuck coaches were actually coaching and finding ways to beat good defenses instead of just running the same shit over and over without midgame adjustments. Even if McCarthy is axed (the fact that we still don't know says all we need to know about Jerry's ineptitude), he'd just hire another oldhead or retread that nobody else wants and who will do the same shit. Who needs young innovative coaches who are running the league these days? Just do the same shit and hope it works. Fuck it all.
  7. Someone mentioned it earlier but I think the "desirability" of jobs is more about fan support and organizational commitment to football. Obviously more fans makes a job more desirable, which is literally all the last 10 years of realignment has been about. If you have lots of fans and eyeballs on your team you'll have a seat at the table no matter your on-field results. Then in terms of organizational commitment, it used to be purely about investing in facilities. Now it's about investing in facilities and NIL. And really NIL is probably more important at this point. The Arizona schools may be in a desirable location with population growth, but I'm not certain that they are fully committed on the second part yet so I question their overall desirability. If the reports out of Arizona are true that basically they turned down an offer to match Washington to keep Fisch, then that's troubling from a "commitment to football" standpoint. By those standards, I think OSU, KSU, BYU and Utah stand above the rest of the BIg 12 as we speak, with maybe Iowa State and Texas Tech right below them. TCU I think is committed to football, but with a smaller fan base than those larger state schools; same goes for Baylor. Kansas has potential but they need to show that they can keep things going for more than a few years at a time or will be back to 10K fans in the stands. And yeah Colorado seems like it's a tough place to win WITH Deion, so we'll have to see how their first few seasons play out in the Big 12 an then (more importantly) what happens when inevitably leaves.
  8. I know this is getting repetitious, but the fact that it's beginning to sink this is a cult in with the mainstream press and that they're finally ringing alarm bells is somewhat encouraging. The Most Durable Force in American Politics: Trump’s Ties to His Voters If Donald Trump’s rivals want to stop his rise, they’ll need to break his bond with his supporters. They didn’t come close in Iowa. Bill Clinton once explained the nation’s two political parties by saying that Democrats want to fall in love while Republicans want to fall in line. That adage has not withstood the Trump era. Today, it is Republicans who are besotted. Donald J. Trump’s decisive victory in Iowa revealed a new depth to the reservoir of devotion inside his party. For eight years, he has nurtured a relationship with his supporters with little precedent in politics. He validates them, he entertains them, he speaks for them and he uses them for his political and legal advantage. This connection — a hard-earned bond for some, a cult of personality to others — has unleashed one of the most durable forces in American politics. Iowa Republicans, following the lead of party officials across the country, rallied behind the former president despite a list of reasons to reject him. Republicans lost control of the presidency, the Senate and the House during his four years in office. He failed to deliver the red wave of victories he promised in the 2022 midterms. He has been charged with 91 felonies in four criminal cases this past year. And they stayed with him even as they were offered viable alternatives: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a popular young governor who embraced Mr. Trump’s policies, and Nikki Haley, one of the Deep South’s first female governors, who credibly promised she could win back voters Mr. Trump drove away. Yet in the first chance Americans had to cast judgment on Mr. Trump since he tried to overthrow an election, many Iowa Republicans made clear they don’t judge him. They adore him. “Trump is not a candidate, he’s the leader of a national movement,” said Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker who has advised Mr. Trump. “No one has come to grips with what’s it like to take on the champion of a movement. That’s why even as all these legal issues pile up, it just infuriates his movement and increases their anger unbelievably.” The risks associated with the kind of unusually strong hold Mr. Trump maintains on the party have already emerged. He has encouraged supporters to view him as above fault or defeat, a mindset that can lead to the kind of political violence that shocked the nation during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Elevating charisma over character can open the door to the kind of authoritarianism that Mr. Trump has promised on the campaign trail this past year. “A lot of the people that support Donald Trump really are fed up with democracy, representative democracy, they think that an authoritarian-style government would probably be preferable at this point, in order to save the nation or whatever,” said former Representative Charles Bass, a New Hampshire Republican who previously voted for Mr. Trump, but said he would not do so again. “I don’t think they feel threatened by having somebody who at least has the trappings of being more authoritarian than past presidents.” Although Mr. Trump’s win was resounding, the Iowa results suggest the party remains deeply divided over his return to power. Roughly half of Iowa Republicans voted for one of Mr. Trump’s rivals, including about 20 percent who backed Mr. DeSantis, who finished in second, with Ms. Haley close behind. Republicans who resisted Mr. Trump in Iowa included the party’s youngest voters and anti-abortion-rights conservatives who backed Mr. DeSantis, according to entrance polls. Similarly, Ms. Haley won moderate voters, Republicans who believed Mr. Trump lost the 2020 election, those who support a muscular foreign policy and the segment of the party that prioritized temperament in their choice for a presidential nominee. Party strategists and officials in other states caution against drawing sweeping conclusions from the votes of a narrow slice of Republicans in a small state. As the Republican nominating contest moves to New Hampshire next week, one poll this month showed Ms. Haley within striking distance of Mr. Trump. The state’s voters tend to be more moderate and less religious, suggesting an opening for her. Mr. DeSantis’s ability to threaten Mr. Trump is less clear. He marketed himself to voters as a Trumpian wunderkind, able to deliver America First policies without the drama and chaos that often trail the former president. But MAGA Nation rivals the Queen’s Guard when it comes to standing at the ready to defend their sovereign, and Mr. DeSantis was turned back as Republicans showed they are less interested in policies than they are the man. “I know that he is picked by God for this hour,” said Patricia Lage, an Iowa caucusgoer who spoke in support of Mr. Trump on Monday night in Carlisle, outside Des Moines. “There are things that he has done in the past, but we all have pasts.” Mr. Trump has spent years tending to his voters — taking aim at their shared enemies and anticipating their grievances. He has compulsively tried to ensure that he was never out of step. That preoccupation repeatedly drove his decisions in the White House, from refusing to wear a mask during the initial outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020 to his opposition to striking the names of Confederate generals from U.S. military bases. More recently, Mr. Trump has attacked Mr. DeSantis for signing a six-week abortion ban and avoided committing to a federal ban on the procedure, betting that his voters will either agree or forgive him for deviating from a core conservative priority. Perhaps most significantly, he has rallied their support amid unprecedented legal troubles in part by describing the prosecution of him as an attempt to silence them. “You and I have been in this battle side-by-side, together — and we have been taking on the entire corrupt system in Washington like no one has ever done before,” Mr. Trump told Iowa supporters at a rally on Sunday, adding that the political establishment and global elites “are at war with us — we have to fight.” Voter anger at political institutions remains sky-high — a dynamic that explains what appears, at first glance, to be nothing short of a political magic act: The billionaire son of a multimillionaire has become the voice for working-class Americans. “His gift is that the average voter in Iowa, New Hampshire and state after state feels like he connects with them,” said David Bossie, Mr. Trump’s deputy campaign manager in 2016. “He’s a blue-collar billionaire.” Both Mr. DeSantis and Ms. Haley have tried to weaken Mr. Trump’s ties to his supporters without issuing many direct attacks on Mr. Trump. But the race to emerge as the Trump alternative is becoming increasingly urgent, with limited time for the candidates to cement that standing. Former Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, a Haley supporter, lamented that much of his party had become “sort of a cult” around Mr. Trump. He still considers himself a Republican, though, and views Mr. Trump as the interloper. “I don’t think Trump’s a Republican,” Mr. Gregg said. “He’s a demagogue.” David Kochel, a longtime Iowa Republican operative opposed to Mr. Trump, said the former president’s bond with his voters was unlikely to be replicated by other candidates. The party has become more populist and anti-establishment, but Mr. Trump’s ability to capitalize on his celebrity status while harnessing the swirling mix of anger at elites, racial grievances and mounting distrust of political, judicial and international institutions was, for now, unique. “He’s a unicorn in our party,” Mr. Kochel said. “Republicans have become more populist and anti-establishment, but that doesn’t mean the party will nominate Majorie Taylor Greene or Jim Jordan next. There’s no going back to the old party.”
  9. Why do you think it took us so long to join the sec and according to ctj we actually explored going to the big ten before finally going sec? We don’t want to be your typical win at all costs southern school. We are different just like Michigan and Stanford are different
  10. Michigan fan/alum here. I think I am in the supermajority of us that are like "hope he stays but, if not, thanks man. Go get a Super Bowl unless you play the Lions." The feeling walking out of NRG last week was the same, but with overwhelming euphoria. Hasn't changed much since and I am a degenerate message boarder and text threader. Not too worried about the second NSD, either. Almost all of the key plays from the defense are back next year (safeties, CB1, DTs, etc.), the OL ran 2-deep with high-level players, Donovan Edwards/Mullings will be great at RB. Only questions will be CB2, QB, and potentially WR with some unproven guys there. If we get a transfer portal QB or Orji steps up, offense should be fine enough to win around 10 and make the playoff and then flame out. Really looking forward to playing UT next fall. We owe you for the "Holy shit this Vince Young guy is gonna be something next year" Rose Bowl game, and My BIL is a UT alum and is flying up from Austin to A2 to watch with me.
  11. https://tylerpaper.com/sports/college/commentary-fifty-years-later-the-long-lost-nixon-plaque-that-he-gave-to-texas-finds/article_56b9eb16-f152-11e9-ac11-bbc2ca7c291f.html AUSTIN — To this day, no one knows where it is. Not an inkling. But anyone who is a college football fan knows its roots. Moments after Texas had beaten Arkansas in the Game of the Century in December 1969, there in the din of a delirious, cramped visitors locker room bursting with joy, was President Richard Nixon presenting Darrell Royal and his Longhorns an official plaque commemorating their milestone victory and proclaiming them the No. 1 team in college football. Said so right there on the 12-by-15-inch plaque. An iconic black-and-white photograph chronicled the special scene with Nixon and Royal and Texas quarterback James Street and tailback Ted Koy looking on, a historic sports moment in time that capped the dramatic 100th season of college football. There may have been no bigger football fan than the late 37th president, the deep-jowled, swarthy-looking politician who was a backup lineman for his Whittier College team and was so enamored with football that he sent recommended plays to NFL coaches like George Allen and Don Shula and once considered Vince Lombardi as his vice-presidential running mate. In the hubbub of the presentation in 1969, Nixon eventually retrieved the plaque from Royal, who had taken it and tucked it between his arm and side. Nixon said he would take it back with him to Washington and have it officially engraved with “Texas Longhorns” burnished on it for all time. And then it was gone forever. Lost in the dustbin of time, a treasured relic from those heady days of the 1960s, when Texas flexed its muscles as the powerhouse of the decade with two national championships and a third on the way in 1970, had disappeared. That 1969 team will be recognized during Saturday’s Kansas-Texas game, but on Friday night they will be feted in the new $17.1 million north end zone Longhorn Hall of Fame. “This is awesome,” said Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte, who was only 1 in 1969 living with his parents in Cuernavaca, south of Mexico City. He didn’t see his first college football game until 1983. “Darrell Royal was the ultimate gunslinger. You talk about cojones. The national championship. The president was there. You can’t make this stuff up.” The ’69 team will tour the glitzy, high-tech hall among the 392 championship trophies, including the one earned by Bruce Berque’s men’s tennis squad last summer, the school’s 55th national champion in all sports. But that original Nixon plaque will not be there. “No one’s seen it in 50 years,” Longhorns historian Bill Little said. Little was there that cold, dank wintry day in Fayetteville, Arkansas, when the two teams battled before a transfixed crowd at Razorback Stadium that included the world’s foremost Christian evangelist, Billy Graham, and the first sitting president to watch a Longhorns game in person along with Congressman and future president George H.W. Bush in attendance as well. Little was a 27-year-old assistant sports information director for Texas, serving under the legendary Jones Ramsey, and he had been assigned to gather quotes in the victorious locker room. Everyone in the room was physically and emotionally spent, Koy remembers. “It was one of those surreal atmospheres,” said Koy, who stood behind Royal as one of the three team captains.”The Secret Service guys were back off in the corners. It was just an unbelievable thing.” Koy said he distinctly remembers Nixon telling Royal that he’d return the plaque to him. “And then,” Koy said, “it evaporated.” Email* Select Newsletters to Sign The epic game had been one for the ages. Originally the brainchild of television commentator and football historian Beano Cook, the game was moved to the final week of the regular season in December, and Texas and Arkansas obliged. They entered that week ranked No. 1 and No. 2. The Razorbacks controlled the game for the duration of the first three quarters, but the momentum tilted in Texas’ favor when Street ran forever on a touchdown scramble to start the fourth quarter and bring the Longhorns to within a single score of the hosts. Then, on the most famous fourth-down play in school history up until one of similar magnitude involving the No. 1 and 2 teams in the country in the Rose Bowl some 36 years later, Street found tight end Randy Peschel behind two Arkansas defensive backs with the most perfect pass of his career. Koy ran for 11 yards on the next play to set up Jim Bertelsen’s winning 2-yard score for a heart-pounding 15-14 win. The victory came against a backdrop of war protesters on a surrounding hillside clamoring for Nixon to end the Vietnam War, but the president stood oblivious to the noisy distraction and even said during a halftime interview to beware a spirited Texas comeback before game’s end. He’d gone to the losing locker room as well that afternoon and told the sullen Razorbacks that he understood losing, but coming back as well. Contrary to popular belief, Nixon did not proclaim Texas the national champion that day, but the No. 1 team in the land. It might be a small point of distinction, but the gist of the matter was lost on the Penn State faithful. The Nittany Lions, also unbeaten, bristled at Nixon’s crowning of the Longhorns and made their displeasure well-known. Years later, a still irate Joe Paterno would add his strident voice in opposition to Nixon’s grandstanding and clamor that, “I don’t know how the president can claim to know so much about football and so little about Watergate.” Cotton Speyrer, the standout receiver on that Texas team, had kidded that “some Penn State fan had probably gotten the plaque and thrown it into Lake Erie.” The plaque supposedly made its way back to the Texas camp, but no one can confirm that. It’s not in the Longhorn archives. Edith Royal, Darrell’s widow, has no idea of its whereabouts but swore Nixon never sent it back to Austin. Only Fred Akers, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, remains as the sole living survivor of Royal’s coaching staff. Little searched high and low for it and thought he once saw it hanging on the wall in the coaches’ lounge in the Gregory Gym complex. The shiny piece of sports memorabilia, however, was gone. With a celebration of the 50th anniversary of that 1969 team looming, he and his wife, Kim Scofield, dined with Del Conte and wife Robin on the Thursday night before this season’s Texas-Rice game. The topic came up, and Little came up with his brainstorm. “What if we recreated it?” he posed. That following Sunday night, Little went home and googled the plaque. “And it went straight to the Nixon Library and a picture of the plaque,” Little said. “I about jumped out of my chair.” He contacted the White House about gaining access to the presidential seal to apply to the reproduction. He talked to director of marketing Joe Lopez at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California, about authenticating and copying Nixon’s signature because Nixon signed very few documents. Lopez recited the exact verbiage on the plaque, and Little got Longhorn Trophies, a local company founded in 1969 of all years, to mirror the same font and same spacing. They went with a dark walnut instead of the less-available oak on the official plaque. They received a digital version of Nixon’s autograph. Little found the college football centennial medallions — the two sides of the coin are flanked on the lower portion of the plaque — on eBay and another website. On Friday, at least 56 members of the 1969 team will gather to tour the new Hall of Fame. They’ll have a reception, they’ll share stories and sit down for a dinner. And then Del Conte will unveil the plaque before it takes its final resting place. “Until Chris created the Hall of Fame, the plaque had no place to go,” Little said. “Now we can give it a home.” Home at last.
  12. In fairness, I think the top 5 jobs are pretty fluid right now. We don't really know which schools are going to be most committed to NIL (and have coaches who know how to exploit it). Florida seems like it should be a top football job, but... Florida State seems more desperate to win big and may significantly out spend them. It seemed like Aggy was about to be a major player in football when they were writing blank checks, but it hasn't panned out yet.
  13. He can hire Carroll, Belichick without anyone batting an eye. He will have more trouble with hiring Vrabel or Harbaugh. It's why he hired McCarthy, no one said anything because McCarthy had won a Super Bowl. This is the most important thing to Jerry and I think it is why he hung on to Garrett for so long. and again. McCarthy went to 1 Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers as his QB. He ain't getting there with Dak. but since we are stuck with Dak, I'd go hard after Belichick to see if he could put a D(coaches and players) together that could win a Super Bowl. Carroll might be able to as well. I'd be down with Harbaugh for the pure circus of it all.
  14. I was wondering who was going to blame us for their demise, just like Nebraska tried to do. Now a bunch of jackass mouth breathers from Bama. Here they were, clean as a whistle, enjoying their simple lives of winning national championships and Texas comes in and wrecks it. Drives the greatest coach to walk on water off and steals their players. Joy. Hopefully they step up and UGa keeps doing their thing so we don't have to listen to conspiracy theories all year.
  15. Due to the icy weather predicted to arrive last night, I went for a long walk prior to the game. Hustled home when I saw it was starting; spouse was watching when I returned and I ask the score. 7-0 GB and I was a little surprised but not a big deal. He's watching and I'm going around doing tasks, pre-supper prep etc and whenever he yells out, 'they scored,' was more and more like what the hell because it was (almost) always the Packers. The same Packers that I had assumed were underdogs. So I trot in to watch circa 2nd quarter. The folks that were talking about the defensive 'cushion'? Yeah, that seemed accurate and the weird thing was it had the effect/appearance that Dallas hadn't game planned anything. NGL, I was rooting for GB, after living up north for many years, we liked them--or more accurately, we disliked Jones and the way he micro-managed to the point of missing the big picture of team ownership (emphasis on team). Green Bay may go no further after this game, but they had in a way, less to lose, but they played like a team that was invested in winning, in proving something by winning. That seems more important than being invested in an image and proving something by trying to protect that image. (my amateur p.o.v. on Jones' method).

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    The rumor around here is that it is either the chargers or Michigan. I guess we will see if the chargers put their money where their mouth is. Harbaugh will make 15 mil a year with Michigan if he does any of the following (beat O$U, Win the b1g or make the playoffs. So the Chargers are going to have to pay at least that to get him to make the move. Will chargers ownership pay 15 mil a year? Or will they take the cheap coordinator route and pay 5 mil a year.
  17. Our offense going back to the Garrett era when he took over the offense in 2007 has been the exact same. The same boring out routes and comeback routes. Every route is unrelated to the others, no rub routes, slants, deception. The same boring shit over and over. It all relies on each man beating their defender. And if that doesn't work, it can look extremely bad. which is why our success is usually based on feasting on lesser opponents. Doesn't translate once they play good talent. This has been talked about forever now from opponents and former players. Just how predictable and easy to plan for this offense is. Our playoff wins going back to the Garrett era is a very weak McNabb led Eagles team that was on its way from disbanding, a very meh Lions team, a Seahawks team with a washed up Russell Wilson, then a losing record Bucs team in a year where Brady was just going through the motions. None of those teams were of any quality and we always go exposed the very next week when the opponent talent level increased.
  18. This was a weird season. I thought we were going to tank the season after all the stupid changes made in the offseason. But we ended up winning a lot. So, Belichick? Harbaugh? Probably Dan Quinn. ugh I predict Eric Bieniemy.
  19. Local media covering the team were given a sneak peek of the rendering of the new unis last year and the response was positive. They obviously were not allowed to share any specifics or take any pictures but the consensus was that they looked good. It’s amazing how winning now makes me like our unis more than in the past. I couldn’t wait to get new unis when we sucked but now kind of wish we were not going to change them because they look damn good in my eyes now.
  20. Nahlin When I said December and January would provide much more drama than the previous year I had no idea what I was really talking about. This has been non-stop! For Texas, portal recruiting is still going full steam ahead. Oregon State wide receiver Silas Bolden is on campus this weekend and IT feels he is a take despite Texas having Matthew Golden in the class and and also pursuing Isaiah Bond. Bolden is a quality receiver but it's likely his special teams work and ability for Sark to add a page to the playbook that has put him over the top as a take. I feel good here but I haven't heard quite enough to put in an RPM. Kendrick Blackshire is a tough read. Ole Miss is pushing extremely hard for the Alabama linebacker (by way of Duncanville) and often times these things come down to motivation. He might have an easier path to the field in Oxford. Texas met with Jabbar Muhammad last night and we hear the meeting went well. Oregon had the lead before that meeting but Texas feels like it's right there in the thick of it. This one might have a hangup or two for the coaches to overcome. Purely gut, but I lean towards Oregon winning out at this time. That could change with one phone call, however. I feel better on Isaiah Bond and Texas than I did when I put in an RPM at 80% confidence. The former Alabama wide receiver isn't as explosive as Xavier Worthy but he's a more natural receiver. I'll be in and out today. A friend decided today was the best day ever to ask me to help him get his boat off the water and into storage. It's also my nephew's birthday party. It's at Main Event. The place being filled with hundreds of Silas Boldens running jailbreak screens in all directions should remind me to check back in.
  21. Williams means a hell of a lot more to Auburn than he does us. Huge optics win for them if they can pull it off and a giant direct fuck you to Bama. Also gives them a real shot as they try to flip Lacey. Put all that together and it is just very hard for me to imagine Texas offering anything close to what Auburn likely will. It is like how Texas viewed Simmons this cycle. We weren't going to let ourselves be beat out even if things became unreasonable. Auburn is that way with Williams. But they are also... Auburn. So maybe we have a chance. I really doubt it personally.
  22. As bad as we are, and probably going nowhere in March, I'm really hoping we can shut down this hillbilly barn with a last-second win.
  23. A good, old fashioned ass kicking. Always remember the team with the best player is usually going to win, and we got CJ.
  24. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say if we turn the ball over 24 times we will not be winning this game
