  1. That 2001 season was my first semester on campus. I had no idea he was getting death threats and his cell phone doxxed. I remember everyone was pissed after the Colorado debacle but no one in my circle was talking about anything like that. Sucks he feels disconnected from a place where he should feel like family. Wish we could bring him back in the fold like VY and Colt. He was big setting the stage for big time QB play at Texas and a decade of excellence. That's how I'll always remember him.
  2. Georgia's going to have to earn that 12-0. More so than any of the previous few years.
  3. OU, LSU, and Kentucky are kind of wild cards IMO that could slide up a line or down a line depending on how all their question marks play out. The rest seem to be pretty close to what you'd expect. We'd better beat the pantalones off of Arkansas next season.
  4. They can't really transfer now but if you're Baker and PK/Sark you have a couple of months to get the word out through back channel communication and work on them to sell proving themselves in the SEC getting more good tape for a year before the draft. Not sure if it will work but put on the hard sell for the spring transfer portal.
  5. With NIL and portal now landing 5 players a class that are either in the top 10 in state or would be in the top 10 in state if they were Texans is doing damn good work.
  6. If a Chicago takes a QB they need to let him sit at least a year. After what GB has done with Rodgers and now Love becoming successful after sitting multiple years I wonder if the NFL will start copying it. There may come a day where NFL teams want QBs to stay all 4 or even 5 years in college even if they're great players. Then let them sit their rookie year too. When you look at the differences between Jordan Love and Trey Lance the proof is in the pudding.
  7. Quinn needs to be almost living with those 4-5 dudes this off-season. Rep after rep going through every conceivable pre snap read and dynamic. The speed requires the right timing and cohesion to become as destructive to DBs as this much speed and talent can be.
  8. It's probably about 2 things. -3rd year starter 4th year Heisman candidate QB -Everyone else except Georgia, Oregon, and Ole Miss look down. Just the playoff teams you have Alabama, Washington, and Michigan starting from scratch losing a ton of starters, the HC, and the QB. That's big. Plus many teams are able to win big and even win it all with solid but not top 3 round in the draft DTs. Especially if they are really good in the back end and at edge. Not a lot of great looking QBs coming back after this very deep and quality QB class in the 2024 draft. That's gotta be the main reason Ewers decided to stay another year. Lots of reasons Texas looks like a quality buy in 24.
  9. I'm assuming a sizeable portion of that weight is recovery from the season? Or else this man is on the Ivan Drago plan
  10. Uncle Gus hittin' ol' Grandpa's cough syrup a little hard pregame. Nice recovery though
  11. Aßmas with a ridiculous 3 possession stretch to turn a tied game into a 9pt lead with about 2 minutes left and the team defense was great on the other end. When he can take over offensively like this late in games this team can beat whoever they play. Great win
  12. It's getting a bit sloppy here down the stretch. At least the defense has picked up on the perimeter the last few weeks with Weaver getting a lot more minutes. They need this win.
  13. He's chucking dudes in the air like Reggie White used to do to NFL offensive linemen. I see why Gerry and Sark/PK are obviously so high on the guy's potential. Gerry, do you know if he throws shot or discus? Or just year round football?
  14. It's definitely a difficult thing to put into action and of course kids would have the option of not entering the academies. In Europe the academies usually get them at very young ages and the culture in America wouldn't lend itself well to doing that. Just wish the IMG/Mater Dei type of system could be expanded and made available to players who qualify physically but don't have the financial means to make it happen now. Brown could be prepared so much better for the college game if he had adequate competition to go against every day instead of unleashing fury on those human rag dolls. Will be interesting to watch how the high school level evolves with the massive changes at the NCAA top FBS conference level.
  15. https://www.hudl.com/profile/16594800/Brandon-Brown Stuff like this makes me think the US should have a network of football prep academies similar to European soccer where guys who obviously are too big/strong/talented for ordinary high school go to get prepared for CFB. Brown's obviously out of the league of the regular Florida kids he's playing against. It does him a disservice to not be able to sharpen his skills against other elite players from around the country every day, and we can all see the level of disservice he's doing to kids who aren't within 1000 miles of him talent wise.
  16. It won't be 64 teams. The teams that aren't in that need to be are ND, FSU, and possibly Clemson and UNC. For football at least. My question is what does this do to other sports. They just had the softball coach on (entertaining Kiwi for sure) and I wonder how his sport/job will be affected by all these changes for the sake of football. What happens in basketball where a lot of powers like Kansas, Baylor, Duke, and Houston aren't in SEC or Big 10 and don't have football programs that deserve to be. I hope football breaks away into it's own thing and all the other sports are left under the NCAA rule. That should have happened years ago. No need for softball or volleyball or Quidditch to be traveling cross country for conference games. Need to go back to regional conferences in non football sports.
  17. Seems like kind of an odd offer for Sark with the dual threat aspect of could be a QB or WR. Guess he feels this kid's arm and head are the real deal.
  18. After listening to the talk about recruiting rankings being lowered for Texas commits due to program reputation on yesterday morning's video I wondered have you ever thought about doing 5 year class re-rankings? Maybe evaluate the composite rankings for the top 15 or top 20 classes 5 years after the class hit the field. If anyone has done this let me know where to find it. I think a lot of us would be interested in how this shakes out. I've long thought the recruiting rankings should be viewed on macro scale and not worry about the small details like why a single player is a 4 star instead of 5 star or why a class is number 6 instead of number 5.
