Former Jackson State OL Mason Barton commits to Coastal Carolina.

don't lose all your money on it.

It's all about da U!

Lost in all the hand wringing over inside lineman, Texas signed a Linebacker from Akron. Some added depth, been a great portal season. l am content to sit back and watch the process, folks should know coaches know what we need and know what’s available and might be available. Don’t forget that we could also nab a Grad Transfer or Two….

Sweet hoodie Sark has on

everything is gonna be all right

I hope that’s the case

work is asking questions about my fluctuation in productivity. I am having to pivot to just be less productive consistently

it's a holiday. Things should pick back up between tomorrow and the weekend as we see names pop up in the portal.

Looks like this will be the last portal thread. The vibes are low

I hope not. I hope he is corndog and mustard or ketchup good.

Speaking of Muschamp - What changes do you see in defensive recruiting overall under him?

STUD

Indiana and Mendoza would make helluva story… Hoosiers all day … Cmon

I get the feeling weds entrants will be a major letdown. We would’ve heard about players planning to enter as we have throughout the process. Seems like the 11th hour secret entrants were just trying to renegotiate a return- like the guy who just returned to Texas. If they were really considering leaving, it would’ve been public.

All that money and homie goes to Buddys!? Wtf…. He knows there is more out there for him right? Lol edit: maybe this is one of his NIL deals.

See my previous response. You could be right. We shall see.

There is no additional portal window. This is the only window this calendar year. Though, grad transfers will be in play at the conclusion of the spring semester from my understanding.

Hopes to run 10.1? My gosh!

2 questions, 1 thread… Looking for expert insight. 1) Scheme & philosophy: What happened to the “big humans” offensive philosophy? It feels like what we talk about doesn’t match what we actually run on the field. We rarely line up under center, get downhill, and impose physicality. The shotgun-heavy, east–west approach might work against teams like Rice—but elite defenses (UGA, Ohio State) feast on it. Sark’s most effective offenses under Saban leaned on size, power, and wearing defenses down over four quarters. Why has that identity drifted, and is it intentional or personnel-driven? @jeffhowe I know you’re pretty savvy with o-line speak… 2) Roster management: Can someone clearly break down the current NCAA football transfer portal timeline? Specifically: key windows, is there another window before/after spring ball, and how that realistically impacts roster building and retention.

Let’s see what happens this week, but it would be very disappointing to have not addressed our biggest need. It was made very clear by Texas and OTF that OG was priority #1 at multiple phases of this process, so anything to the contrary would be blatant backtracking and revisionism. Still have confidence it gets resolved in one way or another but it’ll be interesting to see if/how the narrative shifts if they can’t address it fully.

You said initially it was the single position that killed our chances. I don’t believe it’ll ever come to down to one position. I have watched those games just in the last week. I’d stand on the thought any one win versus Ohio State, UF or Georgia gets us in the playoff. With that said, versus OSU, Baker allowed the most pressures and the most penalties. Campbell had a hold that negated a 2nd and 3 inside the OSU 35 or so. A play or two later we throw a pick. On drive 1 and and the late drive from the 1, they were snuffed from the right side of the line. So certainly not all on the LG. UF is crazy one. The defense wasn’t good. I’m still baffled by the Brooks play. I don’t blame him but, yes, that was individually the most problematic position in this game. But we seemingly have some momentum then Brooks gets back to back penalties then we throw a pick. I can’t begin to understand the decision here but even so the defense didn’t do their job. I think special teams gave up 2 but also failed to kill a punt inside the UF 5, if I remember correctly. In my opinion, this was a total team cluster. Then Georgia. There were a number of good individual plays but tons of missed opportunities here. We struggled to pass protect from the LG spot but likely less egregious than the drops and the defense and special teams falling apart. Also, pass protection had some losses at multiple positions. LG was certainly the most curious and at times some of the ugliest play. Much of the critique falls on Stroh, when the precipitous drop was Brooks. Brooks had the 2nd lowest pass efficiency rating in the past 5 years. I do not think we’ll have that again. We didn’t get that out of Stroh. We didn’t get it out of Hutson. We didn’t get it out of Neto in his short tenure. I can’t imagine we would have gotten it out of Kibble. I don’t imagine we’ll get it next year. But no guarantees. All that said, I can’t blame our failures on one position. Far too many snaps for someone else to make that game changing play.

Is this guy corndog + mayo good?
