Why were you expecting this when nobody else was? From the very beginning he was described as a blocking TE from Michigan State. None of the OTF crew every talked about his receiving ability. Not even in camp.

Cool idea, got my selections in.

Craziness, State will win by 10+.

Shannon is a very good blocker.

Good stuff Kyle!

Masunas was brought in for his blocking

I think they get the Cocks this weekend! I’m taking the Rebs by 6 and the bulldogs by 10. If Arkansas can keep it within 50 this weekend I’ll be amazed.

On Friday's Coffee & Football Gerry floated an idea from the chat (55:22): So I built a board for it: stance.fm/mayo How it works: Pick the winner of every SEC game this week. 11 games on Saturday, starting with Georgia @ Arkansas at 11 AM. Each game locks at its own kickoff, so you can come back and finish before the later games. Best record wins the week. Ties go to whoever finished their picks first. The winner Holds the Mayo until next week. When you finish, it asks to save your picks. Do that (guest works, no account needed) or they only live on your device and can't be graded. If the guys want to bring a guest picker on, this gives them a way to pick one from the OTF community. That part is their call. Post your picks or trash talk here too, I'm here for it. 🍿

I don’t think he was brought in to be a pass catching TE. All the reports when he came here was that his primary role is to be an inline blocker. I’m sure he will have some opportunities throughout the season though.

With the injury to Townsend, you never know who will step up.

Agreed. I think it's also noteworthy that we've had various TE body types through that time. They haven't necessarily stuck to the plus 6'5" type TEs that most teams seem to stock.

I hope Joey Freshwater’s syphilis/herpes/gonorrhea/explosive diarrhea flares up on the sidelines.

Two games in and my biggest disappointment is lack of usage of Masunas as a receiver. No catches yet. I’m assuming he’s not gonna be the catching TE we thought he might be. I was expecting him to log 30-40 catches this year. Instead it looks more like TE by committee approach.

Kiffin trying to play the underdog is just too much lol Give me Ole Miss by 2 scores! Also, do we think MSST can pull it off this weekend? Or does the downfall begin this weekend? Give me South Carolina by 2 scores as well.

He’s such a tool I hope the Rebs smoke them this weekend!!

The TE room overall just does their role well top to bottom. It's been a very well coached position group during Sark's tenure.

I must admit that when we recruited winston as a TE, I was left scratching my head due to his size (6-1.5 / 230). I didn't doubt the recruiters, but it was just a bit odd to see such a short TE be recruited and project at that same position. All I could think is that he was an athlete, and this looks to be the case (I'm sure Gerry and the boys spoke to this previously in his recruiting). Dropped balls aside, he has shown tremendous drive with the opportunities he has been given. I'm curious to see how they will use him going forward, especially since I saw him line up in different sets as well as Sark's praise after the Ohio St. game of his ability to put his foot in the ground and get vertical. I know Townsend, Masunas, and Shannon will each have their own talents to bring to the field, but there's just something about Winston that makes me think he will contribute more to the team's success than what was initially thought (at least by me). Hook 'em! P.s., So proud of this team as a whole to embody the slogans/mottos used by the team (Tough all day, all gas, no brakes, Texas Fight, etc.). These were more than words on Saturday.

Very impressive. If Cosmi keeps playing like this, he'll earn his first Pro Bowl selection (even though he probably deserved it in 2024 as well) and another, more lucrative contract extension.

The great Longhorn OL play continued to Sunday

Still not sold on Alabama

If Oregon isn’t careful they might be the 2025 Penn state of 2026

The environment in Oxford will be Knoxville 2021 on steroids, fully expect the unexpected

LSU vs Ole Miss is can't miss TV. I think LSU's a juggernaut, need them to pick up losses somewhere. If they get through Ole Miss, their chances at playing for an SEC championship sky rocket. Really hope Ole Miss comes out on top, but I think Kiffin eats them alive.

Oregon has to be one of the most disappointing teams in a long time. They have a lot of key players who returned and many think they have the best d line in the nation. They’ve given up 30+ to a G5 school and a bad Oklahoma State team.
