He looks thicker than Wisner and ran a 10.7 100m in high school.

Did you not see Desmond’s social media post 3-4 weeks ago about Sarkisian and Texas? He posted this scoop about Sark’s leaving UT as a mutual parting of ways that could be used by schools right before national signing day. Where was the Michigan scoop (his alma mater)? Clearly he’s tied in there to know that his man was messing with his assistant.

Howard also felt the culture was great under Harbaugh. This is a guy very close to the program. They had 11 guys either arrested, or banned from the sport due to rules violations

This guy really knows people: “I’ve spent some time with Coach Moore,” Howard said. “I think he’s just a wonderful individual, a great human being, fantastic coach. I love the culture. And the good thing is that he was on staff with [former Michigan head] Coach [Jim] Harbaugh, so he understands what the culture is and how to maintain it and how to sustain it, so it’s always a good thing.” He's talking about a great culture in his cesspool program (to take a term by another ESPN analyst). Michigan has had 11 staffers either arrested (7) or banned from the sport for rules violations (4) since Jim Harbaugh arrived. He certainly helped to sustain the culture.

Congrats to Van.

I was thinking the same. Desmond needs to look at his own house before he starts to throw out crap about UT.

Does Moody match surrounding architecture? Does the basketball practice field? Does the swim center?

Extremely hard worker that was the first at practice. Great role model and team player.

Missed those 2. I added below: Obviously, this doesn't factor in which teams will jump up next year, or which teams fall off next year. I could see Ole Miss falling if the QB transfers and depending on who they bring in as OC. I think Vandy will see a drop without Pavia given how good he is a keeping drives alive with is scrambling/running ability. I think Clark Lea has elevated the overall talent level, but hard to think they won't see a drop. I could see LSU rebounding if Kiffin can find a QB, as they have a lot of talent on the roster, especially with some of the 2025 recruiting class. I'm not sure what happens with Tennessee next year, but Neyland Stadium has a reputation as a difficult place to play and we play on the road next year. If the playoffs aren't expanded to 16 next year, there are going to be fewer SEC teams in given there will be more losses with the extra conf game on everyone's schedule. Interesting with Ohio St having a more difficult record, could they possibly get the 3-loss treatment next year. If they were to lose to us and then they have games at Indiana & USC and home games vs. Michigan and Oregon. Still can't believe how easy the Miami and Tx Tech schedules are next year. The committee just can't look at W/L, there has to be a strength of schedule component added or both have an easy path to the playoffs. I don't know what players Tech loses off this year's team, but they could go undefeated next year with that schedule. If Tech was in the SEC they may not crack the top 8 teams in the conference. T

Gerry - any track times.

You obviously pay attention. He played quite a bit, despite dealing with an injury much of season. Have you ever changed jobs?

Here is a breakdown of SEC Schools and # of top 20 teams each school plays Here is Big 10, along with ND, Miami & Tx Tech. ND & Miami are pathetic and Tx Tech is an absolute joke. No Utah or BYU for Tx Tech's conference games next yr and non-conference games against Abilene Christian, At Oregon St, and Sam Houston. There is such a huge disparity in SEC/Big 10 games vs. ACC & Big 12. The SEC doesn't even include teams like LSU, Florida and Tennessee that could easily be top 20 next year based upon talent levels. Texas has to play at LSU and Tennessee next year, and both are very difficult road environments. It will be interesting to see if Ohio St were to lose to Texas on the road next year and then if they were to lose 2 other games. Will they get the Texas treatment?

We could be in this same spot next year with Ohio St at home and road games at Tenn, A$M, and LSU and with OU at Dallas. Not to mention a playoff team in Ole Miss at home. We also play Florida at home and I predict they will be much better next year with a new staff and a veteran team and easier schedule.

I think Miami jumps ND. A lot of talking heads today pushing for head to head compare since teams are right next to each other in ranking. I would guess bama stays in, although they don’t deserve based upon their play over the 2nd half of season.

Miami and ND only have 2 losses due to an easy schedule. UT is 3-2 vs the top 15 with the only losses to #1 Ohio State and #2 Georgia. UT beat Aggie at home ND lost to Aggie. Miami beat ND. Miami and UT should get in but I think the committee will put in both Miami and ND to avoid the discussion on those 2.

That defense looks good against non-athletic big 12 teams. Wait until they start to play teams with athletes. Their back 7 is not very athletic. Their mustache lb crew will get exposed in space. They have good front line DL … I will give you that. Their offense will get shut down against good defenses

Will be interesting to see how he handles the criticism and expectations. He came across as extremely thin skinned at Iowa St. Remember when he went after the fans who yelled something at him when he was upset by an inferior non-conference opponent a few years ago. Not sure if the 5 star culture speaches will work the same at a place like PSU.

Not sure how you feed everyone with 105.

Did he make lsu wr rotation? Everyone knew about him coming out of HS in Texas due to his speed but don’t believe we ever really pursued him. Just because a guy is fast doesn’t mean he can play Wr.

Crazy to think about the average tenure of SEC coaches next year. I guess Kirby, Sark, Huepel and Clark Lea are the veteran coaches. The 9 game SEC schedule will drive more turnover. 1st or 2nd year coaches at most schools next year.

In conf Away schedule is much tougher than home.

We aren’t talking enough about how special this guy is

Agree. If the true strength of schedule isn’t going to factor into equation, get rid of the game.

Does that make you feel better

Ga tech loss pretty guarantees only 1 ACC team as loser of acc championship guaranteed to have 3 losses now. A 3 loss Texas trumps a 3 loss ACC team. We need 1 of bama or OU to lose next week along with a Vandy loss to Tenn. bama will struggle to move ball on the road vs a good Auburn defense. byu win was a bit of a hit tonight. Will a 2 loss byu (assuming a loss to tech) get in over a 3 loss sec team. Byu hasn’t beat anyone this year. It Texas beat a$m they can point to 3 top 10 wins.
