yes, because Bobby and crew are actual journalists. But real people like us know that Bobby is the exception rather than the rule. Once upon a time journalism was well-respected. Now they're the butt of jokes. "JOURNALISM" is now an epithet, certainly not any kind of complement worthy of respect. It's nice that there a FEW like Bobby still out there, though. HOOKEM

OTF just doesn't understand the media like regular folks do. You can't see the trees because the forest is in your way. You guys are great, but you are operating with clowns and outright criminals and, yes, they will at least ATTEMPT to fool you if you let your guard down. These clowns (like Wolken) are not your friends. But WE know that BS like this passes for "journalism" amongst other "journalists." For the most part, journalism is dead. Yes, Bobby and his crew do a great job, but us regular folks reading these articles are used to reading this BS on a regular basis every day. It's what we have become accustomed to over the years, and it gets worse day by day. I wish I was wrong.

Good grief. We're at the START of the "run"

This would be the answer. PK is obviously a great talent evaluator.

what happened with Stewart? I missed that one?

Wow...Kaden is an excellent athlete in his own right. And that's freshman film, so we can watch him develop. Their parents should have had more kids! lol

Fast twitch athlete who has made tremedous improvement over his soph year. This recruitment is going to be crazy. Basically, he can everything and how good he becomes is how good does he WANT to be? I like him for sure. I know many posters disgree with me, but that's my limited assessment based on film provided and nothing else.

It was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. And I was wrong. Although I didn't write my expectations, internally I thought Arch would be MUCH MUCH better than he is. He has the tools there, but just can't seem to see things in real time once the lights come on. The season may not be over, but beating OU seems like a stretch. Our only chance there would be that all of OU's players break their ribs laughing when they watch the tape. It's obvious that Brooks is over-rated now, even if he does have potential. Potential just means you haven't done it yet. Ringo has a nasty habit of dropping passes that hit him in the hands. The stats mean nothing. Anyone watching the game from Mars and knows nothing about football didn't need to see a final score to know we got beat like a red-headed stepchild. Even the body language was bad. And I don't mean late in the game. I mean to START the game. Where was the fire. The excitement?

Well I was wrong. Not just about the score, but about who this team is. No running backs. Brooks manhandled. Baker off and on. Arch is NOT all that. Heisman? hahahahahaha Body language was bad even early in the first quarter. This ain't good. Right now I'm not sure I can watch another game. Maybe I'll change my mind later, but that's my thought process now. If these players don't care, then why should the fans care? They got their NIL and mailed it in.

38-14...Manning shows his stuff. This offense may not be as dead as you think.

I think so as well, barring injury, of course...but it would be nice to have him another year...unless he's a soph and we have him one more year anyways, of course

Dakorian Moore...wow wow wow

Casualty of NIL. Paid before he accomplished anything. So he ended up not accomplishing anything. Sad. You hate to see it, but predictable. Not Sydir specifically, but NIL recipients as a group.

NFL type throw...and who is Jamar Denson?

It sucks that we lost, but the players are NOT quitters, so they will be fine. If anything, losing a close game on the road first game of the season shows you a lot about what your strengths and weaknesses are. Strengths: OL better than practice reports...FAR better. Baxter not great, but way better than expected considering his injury. Wingo looked good, physical, fast...every bit as good as Smith. Wisner looked good. Defense was lights out good. I was hoping for a big splash play resulting in a game changing turnover from AntHill, but it never materialized. Guilbeau was our weak point but even he had a good game all things considered. January and Watson were much better than any practice reports led us to believe. LaFau was good all day. CS didn't have his best game, but his competition was very good, so expected. Burke looks good. Weaknesses: Arch missed that first throw and it seemed to affect him after that. His body language and facial expressions were very negative, but at the end he had some step in his step. Not enough misdirection compared to what we've seen from Sark the first 4 years. On the bright side, these threads bring out the quitters and trolls. We may not see you after the 4th game of the year.

What? Is there a game today or something? lol

I'm shocked. Shocked to see that gambling is going on in here!

I'll put in my prediction AFTER the game. lol

August 39 is always my favorite day of the year

Good for him. I wish him well. Would be great for him to have a year where he doesn't get tackled too much and maybe he can mature into the athlete he needs to be in order to play in the NFL.

In golf we take one swing at a time. When it's finished, THEN we have a score. Until then, nothing is accomplished. One step at a time, then AFTER it's all done, take stock in what you've done. If you get ahead of your skis, you will crash. HOOKEM

so we're "Nick'd" up?

I don't think the NFL gives a damn about Heisman or natty when evaluating QBs. I think it's just the Mannings want to take the pressure off of Arch for now...at least as much as possible...and then we'll see what happens after that. Injury free and I think our chances of a natty go WAY UP!

OK, but we already have problems with heat exhaustion

we're playing with house money here, so it doesn't matter...I'd like him, but we're loaded and we're only going to get MORE loaded HOOKEM
