Lol. Considering I have to take billions of dollars worth of risk on positions in different companies’ stocks on a daily basis for my job, I assure you I’ve taken more risk than you have and far more frequently. I never said one posting style is better than another - I just said you go on long rants that have very little substance in them given that the point is generally sandwiched between 90 tons of horseshit. People like the information you bring. It has value. I also like this information and value it. Your opinions are average at best and I’ve never seen you actually conduct real analysis that adds value outside of stating your opinion in as forceful a manner as possible and expecting people to fold over. I’m sure this tactic works when you have people jerking you off for the aforementioned information you drop off from time to time.

Wow, I didn't know that you were a nurse.

Made the OSU game trip Wheeler put together in 99.  One of the best road game trips of all time.  He made sure everyone had a good time.   I hated to hear about what happened on the later trip.  

That being said, it has been over 20 years since I looked at hornfans.  Did longhornfanzone, burntorangefanzone and lmfanzone(miss this little site).  Lurked on shag for awhile, finally signed up right before the split.  Pre www days it was r.s.f.c..

What kind of split between touches will it be between Bijan and Roschon?

Bijan- 22 touches

Roschon- 14 touches

other rb/WR- 5 runs

QB- runs/sacks/scrambles- 8

Passes to non RB- 25

punts/figgies- 5

77- Total plays from scrimmage.  Slightly faster pace than prior years.  This is breakdown I'd expect for a competitive game we are trying to win.  Obviously the Bijan touches and passes to non RB will go down against Rice/Kansas/anyone else we decide to buttfuck and end the game early b/c winning isn't that hard (if you are Texas).

Speaking of passes to RBs.  One thing I liked about the Alabama QBs under Sark is that they had a knack for hitting the RB in stride on swing passes.  Not only that, he schemed it so they, the RB, wouldn't get blown up as soon as he caught the ball.

Also, on special teams... I can't wait to see how Banks sets up Jamison.

Did you all think he wouldn't have graduated early? QBs tend to get their classes done pretty quickly.

Because it's a way for fans to see funny posts from team-specific boards of teams they aren't fans of. Like, an NC State fan would get a laugh out of that, but would have no reason to actually visit Surly.

Grad transfers don't have to apply for the COVID exemption, though.  It's an interesting choice for a backup who wants to be the starter, that's all.

Your whole posting on this is way off. No one has to sit out this year or get a waiver, and it’s always been known he’d be a grad transfer by this summer. Nothing has changed, and the situation has been obvious the whole time. There’s a reason Card didn’t get a single snap with the ones the entire spring game.

Depends on how you look at it.  What you're telling me is that Texas is doing everything it can to keep him here and make it look like he's QB1.  You're also telling me he could still insta-transfer without graduating and that his ability to graduate by the summer was a known situation forever.  Basically, this was foreseeable and meaningless.  

But my perspective is that if you don't have to graduate to transfer, why graduate?  It's like packing a suitcase.  It doesn't mean you're leaving, and you could always leave without the suitcase, but it sure makes it hard to argue you don't want to leave.

 Maybe he’s graduating because he has completed the requirements to graduate.

That's completely possible, but no fun to speculate about.  

[Viper 12,011]

I imagine this was his plan from awhile ago, before it was a sure thing there'd be a free transfer rule. He either A) wins the starting job and has a lot more time to devote to football, or B) would not win the job and be able to grad transfer.

Is this a joke? He will get a free master’s degree funded by football, be it at UT or elsewhere.

He was already on track to graduate early, as that’s a decision that had to be made pretty early on given the additional course load each semester and summers in order to get four years into three. At this juncture, why would he not?

Was listening to the Horn and they listed out a few stats that were a bit concerning. Mel Kiper’s early 2022 draft list of the top 10 players at each position had zero Horns and 9 Sooners. That was a bit surprising. Now Kiper is an idiot, but Pro Football Focus also had a similar list with no Horns. Yikes.

Did they mention the aggy representation on that list? I saw this tweet earlier: 

 

I know Spiller is getting some hype as one of the top rb prospects but there is no fucking way even Kiper is dumb enough to put Ainias Smith as the 3rd best back in the draft is he?

OU and A&M have lots of talent for sure. OU's only real question marks are if the OL will be good or great and if the secondary will be good. A&M's are if the rest of their OL outside of Green overcomes its inexperience, if King can match Mond's performance last year, if they can get another contributor in the WR corps (Demas, Muhammad, Chapman) outside of Ainias and Chase Lane, and if their secondary becomes a plus unit. OU will be 11-1 at worst while A&M will be 9-3 at worst.

A&M will be 9-3 at worst because their schedule is a fucking joke, not because they're any good. If they're good, they'll be 11-1 or 10-2.

Overshown could play himself into a top 10 LB but, yeah, not a ton of NFL-bound seniors or surefire early entrants as I see it. Keep in mind that the draft prospects for this year are essentially the the remnants of the 2017 and 2018 classes, from which many have either transferred out, graduated, or already declared. Team is fairly young.

I'll add Coburn, Sweat, and Jamison to that list. 1 of the 20 edge transfers might hit, and I'll give Josh Thompson and Casey Thompson honorable mentions.

IIRC I don't think Jamison gave up a TD pass all year. Either that or he has a current long streak of not giving one up. If he has a comparable year and runs well at the combine I could see him climbing up the draft boards

Idk what to tell you if you think A&M isn't a good team. I almost said a floor of 10-2 but I could see a team like Ole Miss catching fire and making Jimbo compete in a track meet along with LSU eking one out at home. The Henson hire and their recruiting wins along the DL are really going to pay off for them.

[BurntOrange&White 39,486]

Their OL and QB will get eaten alive even with their dog shit schedule. Their defense may be the saving grace. 

[George Clooney 378]

All A&M really needs from King is to match Mond's level from last year. Jimbo's schemes in the run game plus the Spiller/Achane duo are hell for teams lacking physicality/talent in their defensive fronts. Wydermyer is a great safety blanket that shouldn't be overlooked as well.

King won't match but that's an astonishingly forgiving schedule so it'll all lead to a nice top 10-15 season regardless.
