    Nope. Base stealing has never been easier. Bigger bases. Pitcher disengagement rules. There were over 1,000 more steals in 2023 compared to 2022, and there will be more steals in 2024 than in 2023. In 2023, runners stole 2B at the highest rate in decades and stole 3B at the highest rate in history. Anyway, Ohtani is still impressive.

    I don't see Weigman or Reed. MISINFORMATION!!

    I'm not going to pretend to care about WBB, but I wish Coach Vic the best and hope we win the natty!

    And beyond. Come play with a QB who can produce at a level high enough to win games. And he's only going to grow and improve...

    This is how I see it also. No way he's a bust. Frankly, LSU has struggled to figure out how to use him. I understand why...they have tried to pitch to him that learning to play traditional LB will boost his NFL stock. They are probably right, but it also means lots of growing pains and plenty of snaps where he's not a disrupting factor. It would probably be better for the program to have him rush the passer, create havoc in the backfield on most snaps, but it might be better for Harold in the long run to be forced to drop into coverage, read keys, and fill holes from a traditional LB spot. We'll see. Time will tell.

    Rumor has it that Bobby woke up talking about Arch, all the skill at WR, the lockdown CB play, etc. and his wife got so turned on that she ended up distracting poor Bobby for a little while, taking him away from his normal posting.

    The admissions process is daunting but also has gaps. I employed 2 kids for the past few years. Best friends. Similar grades, test scores, and resumes, but one if them slightly better in all categories. The kid with the lower GPA and test scores got in while the other didn't. Neither was top 10%. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @Gerry Hamilton would have him as a 5-star if he was verballed to A&M.

    Agreed. We shouldn't feed into this.

    Is that more or less than clips of Marcel Reed scoring against the Gators?

    Crazy that we lost our QB1 early in the game, yet it still ended up being a really fun atmosphere/game. Special group of young men. Get well soon, QE.

    I didn't expect Napier to go undefeated straight away, but his 12-16 record at UF is a lot worse than I expected.

    You guys should look into doing some stuff on YouTube.

    She can do better than all those dorks around her (and than that language).

    He doesn't always let it rip. He has plenty of touch. But the arm strength is there. He can spin it.

    My son loved that Niblett block because he has to make that block for his 8th grade team.

    They did OK in my book. They got pushed around some in the run game more than I'd prefer. It's not a big gripe. It's an area of concern that I'd like to see improved.

    My expectations haven't changed a lot. Some areas of concern have proven to be better than I expected: DB play, TE in the passing game Some areas of concern still exist: interior DL stoutness, explosives We're good.

    Well, well, well...

    Can somebody up there please make sure that @CJ Vogel gets to the correct stadium? There is more than one sports arena with tiers of seats for spectators in the area.

    A lifetime Longhorn and a legend. The program building he did at San Jac and Rice is one of the more impressive things in recent collegiate athletics history.

    The reason this point doesn't hold water is because it's only one side of the equation. Improve Ruth's nutrition, training, etc. in the same manner that pitchers have if you want to make a fair comparison. Give Ruth weight training and a modern bat and hitting velo wouldn't be the issue. By the way, hitting velo isn't as big of an issue as some non-baseballers think. Good hitters can time up a fastball.

    Shohei's 2024 season would be Bonds' 7th or 8th best season at the plate? I saw one tweet suggest it would be Bond's 11th best offensive season.

    Great feature. Would love to see him use a coach's clicker through some plays.
