I think Georgia is the comparison because he is comparing the last other team to win a National Championship, and how they've parlayed that into continued success on paying coaches, assistants, NIL, etc.

And yet here is poor old Michigan, less than a month out from a National Championship, and all of the pets' heads are falling off.

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20392]

Cochamps got with CTJ
Hornius found a squeeze
Who was sharing Cochamp's outlook
On the topic of French cheese
Texifornia found a linebacker 
Hornlover found a Lexxus
They were all in love with 'crootin'
They were doing it in Texas
Roll left played with rankings
Like a kid out without a brain
Then a 5-star from East Texas
Fell unconscious in a train
They were all in love with crootin'
Til they lost a good companion
In their clowncar full of posters
Careening towards the canyon

I wonder if there’s actually any intel regarding Grant and/or Texas and Oregon, or simply the obvious insta follows of Sark/Sweat and Lanning. May just be some guy pulling out his homemade Jump to Conclusions mat.

Not sure, but rumor from Bama is that Forest Gump has entered the portal.

You are not allowed to do the "I hate college football these days" thing when you are less than a month removed from winning a national championship with 4 excellent transfers starting. 

[RabidM 2666]

Maybe Grant loves Michigan so much he wants to play one more game in their stadium next season.

if we get Michigan's best DT(s) to transfer and then we roll into Ann Arbor and beat the wolverines, we need to start renaming buildings on campus, imo. 

Darrell K Royal–Texas ONE FUND Memorial Stadium

we can change little field fountain to close to jumping fountain.

I had to get it out of my brain. Every time I see "careening towards the canyon" on the thread title I hear that $*%$*@# song in my mind. I mean, I like to song, but I've been reading "careening towards the canyon" in that  Butthole Surfer voice.  So hopefully by writing it out it's been cast into the abyss. 

But this? THIS is magnificent!

I know it’s probably scarce but does Boston College have anyone on the defensive line we’d be interested in?

 

He’s leaving Boston College to be DC for Green Bay.

Their QB Castellanos is probably an NFL talent at RB or slot receiver. He makes defenders look stupid with his legs, and himself look stupid with his arm.

I'd like to see him do it against real competition and not Northern Illinois. I believe you, I just want to see if the tree bears the same fruit again, say, Clemson.

I was at their game against FSU and he was electric against a very talented defense. Looked like VY out there relative to the rest of the BC offense.

Impressive, especially considering FSU's defense was legit. Appreciate you providing proof. But, VY he was not. Vince actually took down every team he played, including the best team ever assembled.

Look, I watched the game and he was great in it for the most part. No doubt there. That considered, do not make comparisons to Vince Young this lightly, please. That's a galactic stretch.

He’s exactly like Vince Young if VY was a slightly worse QB and was 5’9 and half-puerto rican. Besides all that they’re the same player.

Wasn’t a direct comparison, just hyperbolizing the lack of talent from the rest of the offense. Guess a better one would be that he looked like CTJ out there relative to a bunch of Mailbox357s.

– as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.

In the mid 90s, music from the late 60s and early 70s was classic rock.  Take that 25-30 year time period, apply it to 2024, and what year do you come up with?

It really hit home to me when I was flipping through, and a Houston Classic Rock station started playing Nirvana and Submline. 

Folks need to accept that we're old. Don't be that old motherfucker in his 50's wearing Ed Hardy and only lifting upper body muscle groups so they can look bad ass wearing some affliction jeans because they think that makes them still look young and cool. 

Yes, I realize that about 30% of this board is now probably doing the fucking eye side to side gif. As they should.

I saw Sublime with Rome this summer. I was drunk on a blanket at an outdoor venue. Rome Ramirez made some comment about the people in their 40s & 50s in the crowd. The early 20s kid setting right next to me booed. I looked at him and said, "These songs came out before you were born. Why are you here? Is there any artist from your lifetime that doesn't suck?" He had a sense of humor about things, which is good, because he could have knocked my old ass out if things got nasty. The moral of the story is this, I'll never get over the Oilers playoff collapse in Buffalo in 1993. All of the overpriced drinks at retro concerts in the world won't fix things. So, I'm alone. Always will be. I work a bit. I eat a lot of Chinese food. I listen to some podcasts. I'm just biding my time, occasionally shaving my back, waiting for the heart attack that puts me out of my misery.
