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.

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Get well soon.

Be safe everyone don’t drive on the black ice 🫡🫡🤘🤘

Coward lol

That’s a good thing, not a bad thing.

Stay warm, dry, and safe y'all.

I know we are all worried about the O-line and I agree. But I still think we are championship contenders even if we don’t add pieces. Why? I don’t know.

Its the staff fault typically when the inmates take over. They allowed it to get to this point by fighting change when they could of done a much better job of the learn and adapt side. Instead they tried to fight off the inevitable fir way too long and never truly pivoted to how to make a system that works. NCAA let the courts get involved to make their decisions and now the ncaa has 0 teeth to control anything. People will just take them to court and win to get what they want. You can try to blame the inmates but its clear as day the staff and guards caused the madness they cannot control.

I’m so over ND and their special concessions. Join a conference or you don’t get a bid. The way it stands now as o understand there are 6 auto bids if you include ND and that ridiculous get in if 12 or higher. There is nothing like that in any other sport at any other level. It’s a travesty. If 12 teams are going to be in the playoffs we need to end automatic bids all together and have the top 12 selected. I’m very disappointed that expansion didn’t happen for 26. It gives so much more opportunity for players and fans to get the best football all season more big early season match ups and meaningful conference games. Just look at the last 2 seasons and the national champions coming from lower seeded teams (8 and 10) that wouldn’t have even been in the mix in year’s past. Even this season if you add a ND, TX, Vandy and BYU to the field you can’t tell me one of those 4 wouldn’t have at least move into the quarterfinals or semifinals. I’m actually for expansion to 24 with play-in games in lieu of conference championship games. Heck you could give teams that lose in the first two round an option to play each other in bowl games so those playoff teams that lose early still have the benefit of extra practices if they choose.

Never works real well when the inmates run the asylum.

now THAT'S awesome...no portal news can match that!
