if this is what it actually is that's huge.

dude went from A&M to Cincy to the Bengals in the NFL then to Texas State and then was not kept on when they hired GJ. evidently he spent 2023 with the USFL team and now runs OL camps? so he is actually available if they wanted to re-hire him.

Turner was fired at TXST in Feb of 2022, long before Spav was fired in Nov 2022.  Not sure we ever found out what it was he said/did.

None of those teams is really good and all are very beatable by that bunch.  Alabama is the best but will never score more than 28 except against air or Middle Tennessee.  Arkansas defense is stool softened purée.  South Carolina's offensive line is garbage.  If A&M, with their talent, doesn't go at least 2-2 against that lineup then there is an inside betting scandal at work. 

But, this is true every year.  It's all part of the bullshit myth of the SEC "gauntlet."  The only difference is that this year, Alabama isn't head and shoulders above the rest.

So it's true every year and yet the ags still manage to hit that 4-4 conference mark pretty consistently, year after year.

Except for last year of course.

When we were in Tuscaloosa we learned that 60% of Alabama's students come from out of state and ran into several students who were Texas fans. They are one of several schools in the South that offer Texas kids in-state tuition.

It's not quite like that, as far as Alabama is concerned, they do offer a ton of scholarships to offset the out of state costs.  They're very generous but they're not automatic.  My daughter had a 3.95 gpa in high school but her school and class were very competitive.  She wasn't even top 20% with those grades.  
My son went to UT and received exactly ZERO scholarships.  Most all of those go to the "disadvantaged".  At Alabama, my daughter received a merit scholarship and a couple of additional ones initially and continues to receive new ones she keeps applying. They gave her one for having "extensively traveled throughout Central America" as a kid. 
It helped her that she had a lot on her resume.  Volunteer work, FFA, Cheer, student counsel, TOKC and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.  The point is that is they do like students who are involved in activities that they can show they did something other than just show up or win a popularity contest  (the Texas admissions people say this as well) and that is what separated her from her peers and earned her close to $100,000 in scholarships so far. 

Oh, and she's having the time of her life.  That place parties.

p.s. The 60% out of state is true.

Are you implying that you don't recall our $2,500 bet in which I said Jimbo would be caught standing on the field during a live play with the ball carrier passing between him and the sideline? You said he would not.

I thought it was something about how many games Weigman would start or something about him getting injured behind that OL…

Or fuck, it might just be a meme at this point. It is all starting to run together. We might need to set up a Surly bet sub-board in IPIHB to set up bet challenges and a CTJ bet tracker….

To get back on topic, the poor goat acted that way because it knew it was destined to be auctioned off to a sick, depraved, goat-rapist aggy.

[billfromlaketravis 11,448]

Max Johnson seems like a pretty good kid, but I hope he fails. Different than wishing injury upon him to be sure.

It worked out well for aggy. They probably had to take Max in the portal to get his mid 4 star brother. At worst they are getting a serviceable back up QB and a good, young TE. I imagine Max stayed at aggy another season to play his brother. Win-win, but again I hope they lose.

If true, this sucks for Weigman. I never wish injuries on other teams. aggy included. 

It varies based on whether this is osteochondral, posterior process, lateral process, body, or neck. Best case for him is if it is a simple lateral process fracture. There is a high risk of AVN with more serious neck fractures. That’s super bad. Even if this heals up (and it can be slower than the average bone 6 week time), significant and early arthritis does occur with lots of these.
