Im sorry to here that brother. I hope you are recovering and will come out the otherside stronger

Almost 1 hour later. Temp dropped 1 degree. Currently 26.6 degrees.

I’d say you’re on the right path.

So it sounds like the math does add up in regard to the portal and iol. While seeing names there is cool and fun, the team wanted to upgrade if they were going to make moves. The lack of substance in elite guards thats the team deem an upgrade are driving the portal results. Why pay for a player that you feel cant beat out what you already have, especially if that player is asking for NIL and guarantees

I never realized how clean Dabo has been in recruiting throughout his career. Wow! He’s been an angel out there. This has been a real surprise to me.

Trophy Club in DFW.

I’m just north of Longview.

Golding should get a 6 game suspension plus any post season games. The player and agent should be sued for damages. Rake them over the coals.

Where is that?

And don't eat the yellow snow

I hope everyone is staying dry, safe, and warm. I'm going to make some tomato soup, grilled cheese, and spend the day on the couch with my dog watching fishing and camping videos and damascus knives being forged. Have a good one guys and gals🤘🏿

Somebody wants it like this. Who??

People with very deep pockets (gamblers?? mobsters??) must want this lawlessness and avarice, but because of my own ignorance and naivete I can't see through the veil. Some of you know how to follow the money. What is going on? What are your more seasoned eyes seeing?

You want to know what the penalty for this might be? Pete Golding might get suspended for a game when Ole Miss plays Jacksonville State or something. The punishment never fits the crime IMO with the NCAA.

Take care of yourself. Depending on where you are today would probably be a good day for napping.

Pretty good rate of sleet happening now. Weather station says it’s 27 degrees.

Just a little ironic that a team unable to win its conference or even participate in the conference title game can be a national champion. One an 8-9 game championship while the other is a 3 game championship.

Welcome to the current CFB landscape. Wild west indeed.

Hope you are recovering buddy.

The freeze back in ‘21. No snow or ice yet here in Austin this wknd

Because we have won 35 games over the past 3 seasons, and we have guys here through all of that. Because we have guys who’ve played in hostile, playoff and championship environments. We have guys that have competed against the best. We have guys that the NFL will gladly invite onto their teams. You take these factors generically there are few teams that can say that. That’s why.

I live in San Antonio so I'm already on it. Unfortunately Jesus can't play left guard because he wears illegal headgear.

What snow and ice? All I have is pics from my Atlanta days in 18

I manually counted so perhaps math is off a little bit. In the 2025 NFL draft, there were 23 Tackles taken, 14 Guards and 3 Centers. in 2024, 25 Tackles, 16 Guards, 11 Centers. In 2023, 16 Tackles, 15 Guards, 10 Centers. The 3 year totals are 64 Tackles, 45 Guards and 24 Centers. First rounders - 17 Tackles, 4 Guards, 1 Center. There at least two guys drafted as Guards that were Tackles in college - Troy Fautanu, Wyatt Milam. Gray Zabel is another that had more starts at Tackle than Guard. I suspect if you looked deeper there are more that were collegiate Tackles and moved to the interior than moved from the interior to Tackle. Just Texas guys alone we’ve had Conner Williams, Sam Cosmi and Justin Blalock play Tackle at Texas then found their home on the interior in the NFL. There’s a couple of points in here. I’ve read multiple posts about Flood’s ability to develop Tackles but not interior guys. The data suggests he’s not alone. The draft data reflects Tackles are more favored, and it’s quite likely it’s even more slanted in that collegiate Tackles are drafted as interior guys rather the other way around. Then we have the discussion of “elite.” With NIL, the waters are muddied, but I’d assume that a majority of draft eligible elite guys jump to the NFL. Of those 133 drafted offensive linemen, 28 were drafted after Hayden Conner in the 211 slot. I’m guessing few here ever referred to Conner as elite. Now, you’re down to 104 offensive linemen that might be considered elite. Proportionally speaking that’s about 35 Guards over 3 years or 11 per year. If you pair that up with PFF grades, there was 1 with a 90+ (from Army) and 11 with 80+. Only 5 were from the Power 4. Two of the 5 were first year starters and have eligibility left. The other 3 should be out of eligibility unless they get some form of waiver. There just aren’t many elite Guards running around. Moving Baker inside is somewhat uncommon although that transition was likely to occur at the NFL level. It’s uncommon because few teams have two very capable Tackles.
