Wednesday can't get here quick enought 😀

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Yep. It’s a concern until it’s not.

I agree Jeff but I have to keep the fight going you understand that part. But I do agree the OL will be better but people here that see me one way lol

Interesting to see what litigation will come if this passes both Chambers. As it stands now Football gets 75% of Rev Share out of 18 million, or 13.5 million. If the percentage stays the same then almost 17 million in Retention $. Total of 30-31 million. Again percentages could change in the future if this passes. Now MBB gets 15% or 2.7 million. WBB gets 5% 900K, and all others sports 900K in Rev Share. Be interesting to see how it works. And yeah athletes in the future got screwed it seems. No collective bargaining etc. Can still get NIL deals that don't count toward the Rev Share , but seems that will be much harder now. Seems those Learfield, Nike deals etc will count on Rev Share going forward. Will see , because things can definitely change in the House.

Filsaime will be in the mix at safety, yes.

In all seriousness, I don’t think this is something that’s that deep. All I’m saying is that I’m willing to let Seymore get through one practice and figure if/when Hutson will be with the team before concerning myself with scenarios that might not happen.

Jeff you don’t want this let’s both get some sleep deal?!

I get the sentiment, but I don’t think Hutson starting is something to get worked up over right now.

I think last year’s buzzy freshman was Littleton

With the concerns of safety depth and competition behind Derek Williams, does OTF still believe Filsame will compete for the spot next to Jelani? Hard to tell if the move to nickel was for cross training and versatility reasons to be able to shift out Littleton or because the staff thought he wouldn’t compete at safety and nickel is his better position? There had been talk of Bo Mascoe also rotating at nickel so hard to tell how it all works out

I don’t know if anyone has suggested that Hutson will start. I don’t see the point in worrying about something that might not (and probably won’t) happen, barring something unforeseen.

@mcwast - places I've ate that are pretty good. Old Steakhouse, Lonesome Dove, Connors, Tupleo Honey Downtown, Myrtles Chicken and Beer, Calhouns, and Stock and Barrell Lonesome Dove, Tupelo Honey Downtown, Calhouns, and Stock and Barrel are all in walking distance to the stadium. You can park pretty much anywhere downtown if you can find a spot, the earlier the better of course.

There’s some truth to this, but Stroh was objectively horrible. This shouldn’t be hard to admit, yet it is for you. Additionally, your description of how the OL works is inaccurate. It’s a “you’re only as strong as your weakest link” type of mentality. You can have 4 studs, but 1 dud ruins it. There were OL problems outside of LG, but the VAST majority was LG.

This********

Rewatching a lot of last year’s games, Filsaime lacked physicality. A lot of chickening fighting and trash talking. I hope the lights go on. But, as a pup, he did not bite. Regardless, I am cheering for him.

Fair - and hopefully whooping up on the nupac. There can only be one State U to rule them all.

It’s not when your single offseason objective was to get a left guard who would elevate the offensive line. If Hutson is the answer, Flood deserves to get sh*t canned, and so does sark for that matter.

Here is where I sit. Not an Oline expert but understand the game. PFF grades aren’t the end all, be all, but they provide a ton of context when no one can watch all their games. I understand why people watch only certain games, but that doesn’t convey context of whether that’s the standard game or a players best game or worst game. I will reiterate one of my points from several weeks ago. That essentially came up today. Our supposed strengths of the Oline last year had too many errors to start the season. It’s asinine to focus on the least experienced guy when versus OSU the majority of the big downs that we failed to execute was off the right side. Most teams 5th guy is mediocre at best. Go look at Ole Miss blocking grades. Compare our offensive output to Miamis, and they were universally a top 3 unit. LT, C, and Baker should all start better than we were a year ago. If Baker has a single with either 5 pressures or 2 penalties, I’d be surprised. And that was just OSU last year. Siani should ready. And the pass blocking efficiency outside of one LG was in a normality range. That alone works with this team. And without looking, our highest yards per carry last year came at the LG area. I’m not saying that’s because the LG but rather you can still make some hay even if you don’t have a plus player. And underappreciated last year was the return home. That helped the offense but also Sark opened up the screen game. Sub-10% versus OSU/UF, 20% versus Vandy. Our gameplans seemingly focused on us. Outliers early were UTEP at 70/30 run-pass and UF average depth of target at 20 yards. OSU didn’t replicate either. So a ln inexperienced team and we’re rolling different gameplans. I’m reasonably confident UF and Kentucky used their bye weeks to attack differently too. So that’s a lot of words to say if LG stands out, it’s likely because of unexpected issues elsewhere.

He was my first - about 20 minutes after I joined the site when he was cursing out a recruit for not signing with Texas.

No not at all stating facts. He was awful as a center like beyond awful he was a beyond mid LG and if you try and tell me I’m wrong you will forever be known as sunshine pumper Howe 😭💀

That’s putting the cart way in front of the horse.

We’ll be talking about it until it’s settled.

If Hutson is back starting Sark and Flood need to be fired immediately

Easy to enjoy when you have a natty in the trophy case.
