I don’t know CTJ but I appreciate the passion if not the delivery. Objectively, CJ has a long way to go in his reporting. It’s rarely nuanced and imo he blurs his opinion and sourced information in his delivery. At times, conflating the two. This is observational not critical. It’s impressive that he’s done so well this early into his career but his style strikes me as someone that thinks they’ve arrived versus being on the curve. He also seems selective with whom he responds but that again comes with experience. Interacting effectively with an audience can be as important as the information being delivered. I hope behind the scenes he is absorbing all he can from the eclectic group he is with because there’s a ton of wisdom to be gained. All CJ had to do was what Bobby, leading by example, did and include a plausible option as to why the changes took place in the initial post. This is not for any one poster’s sake but we all gain from a thoughtful or thorough article. Again, experience matters. Not dumping on the dude and I believe he has the talent to get there if he has the willingness to learn/grow. I do think CJT took the article way too literally and since he is apparently well connected, knows there is a limitation as to what is known but also to what “can” be shared. I absolutely get his frustration with the canned phrases and asleep at the wheel replies. He was seeking clarity and got magic 8 ball replies. It has to be frustrating having real skin in the game when most only have skin on a keyboard. Kudos to Bobby for the context and perspective. I really like him giving CJT is due without selling out team or being defensive as most other site mods(people?) would. We all benefit when we listen to understand vs waiting to respond. And, 💯 on 🎯 about counterproductive. TL;DR 🤘🏽

What’d I miss?

Higher collective or maybe consistent floor with a lower ceiling unless someone breaks out. The oline fatigue may make the lower ceiling moot if we truly have 2.5/3 waves of solid floor to bring in.

We keep saying this but we have no depth and 4 question marks heading into the wonder-kind’s first season as a starter. It’s all relative but Flood has gotten a pass in my opinion. It’s incredible that we have this line for that QB. I don’t want to hear how long they’ve been here. Very few meaningful snaps save for Goose. Well, DJ but he hasn’t shown enough at this point to not be a question mark imho. We’ll see but the last thing I expected was uncertainty at oline during the Arch period. 🤷🏽‍♂️

For those of us that only know you’re, do you have a bio somewhere? I checked the profile but didn’t see it.

For me it’s Texas or NFL

What is the Tx class equivalent please? 5a?

Tech is getin a gud un

2 different things here. Very low probability of anything happening. 101% was hilarious. If he actually gambled and there’s objective proof, he has to go. It doesn’t matter if he actively shaved points or anything else. He opened the possibility of it. It’s still a nefarious world. If you don’t preserve that part of the game, bring in Vince McMahon. We don’t get to pick and choose how we feel about the rules. We enforce them. If they no longer make sense, we legally modify them, or stop having them. It surprises me how many people want to inject their feelings, beliefs, or gut on rules.

Uh oh, corners of mouth look dry. Grab that ad and drink it… 😏

Sans Antonio

Point is that they’re trying to protect his career not appease ausmojo. Why do pro teams add missing pieces for the stretch run? Let em wait until next year…

They’re strong in the trenches and lagway is a deep ball nightmare. That’ll keep us in an honest box and they have very good, maybe great backs at what they do. Their secondary was decimated by injuries last year and ours lost 2 NFL picks. Too many unknowns for all this 16-0 nonsense. Our line also hasn’t proven anything and is very inexperienced in meaningful snaps. We might turn out to be great but we have a lot of unproven at key spots. Florida is a dark horse if lagway stays healthy.

I keep forgetting about Terry. Positions aside, what do you see elite about his skillset. I feel like I haven’t read much about his potential. I think I’ve unintentionally summed it to jack of all trades, position of none, tweener.

Maybe the most important or irreplaceable person on any team.

Partial to the crescendo of welcome to the jungle. It’ll amp you up but maybe that’s not what you’re looking for Gerry 😴 Hamilton. Just having fun.

The song is terrible. Slow and sleepy. Remove the video and its audio melatonin. How does the king of crotch clipping choose this…

They should never feel like they’ve arrived because the destination changes every year…

This isn’t the flex he thinks it is but oh well.

Very nice. Not at all asking for your credentials. Rather, I’ve always found your style easy to understand so I was curious if experience was part of the secret sauce. Thank you for replying.

Hey Jeff, refresh my memory please. Is Oline part of your personal experience? I find first hand experience, regardless of level, very insight. Just comes out naturally with a little nuance not present otherwise. 🤘🏽

Or maybe you’re just that shallow? How deep does it need to be to have class or respect?

This is so fatiguing. We’re 10 minutes into a new era and I’ve already read a lifetime of fretting, complaining, and doomsdaying. Same thing happened with nil. Other teams jumped “ahead” and started getting kids. Folks complained we’ll never compete because we’re mostly above board. What did Texas do? Waited, researched, learned, and then put together an elite nil approach that served us very well. Thank goodness we have smart, measured, patient, and purposeful leaders to navigate this landscape as well. And oh, the goal is to whip everyone in every sport so miss me with the sky is falling. Texas, if leadership so chooses, will always be top 3-5 because they have every lever at their disposal to pull while doing it right. It’s not patience. It’s intentional prudence. 🤘🏽

Maybe his performance was an eye opener for him and his family so they are taking the sure thing?

Have you officially crowned them as texas tech geese?
