Perhaps doesn’t want to be part of a 5 DT class?

Jackson Arnold and Connor Weigman will be competing for the starting QB job at Sam Houston State next season.

It’s time for us to experience the Chris Parsons Project.

As a runner, sure. As a passer, zero. Last year’s Michigan OL could probably enable Orji to effectively move the chains with his legs and dink pass his way to 20 points per game, but this year’s Michigan OL can’t maintain possessions and move the chains (to enable their elite defense to stay fresh). Not that USC is any great shakes, but I can’t see Michigan scoring enough points (24+) to beat USC tomorrow.

Florida vs. Mississippi State should not be allowed to be televised. One team has to lose though! This may be the best opportunity for both teams to get an SEC win all season, so there’s that….

This is shattering my silly hope that Cam Williams might stick around for the 2025 season at Texas. I was hoping for something of a learning curve season from Williams in 2024, enough so that he returned for the 2025 season to move up draft boards with more game experience. Alas, my hopes seem dashed. The probability that Texas has to replace all 5 starting OL next season is really increasing.

I assume the Texas OV for Owusu-Boateng is related to where Texas believes we stand with Faraimo.

He’s somewhat analogous to Isaiah Simmons from Clemson a few years ago. Simmons was a “hybrid” big Safety / OLB, and even played some ILB. Simmons was a defensive wrecking ball at Clemson but as a hybrid defender who basically didn’t fit a specific scheme / position / technique. He was basically “see ball, blow s**t up”. And Simmons, as an elite athlete with great college productivity, tore up the NFL combine and got drafted into the top of the first round. But once he landed in the NFL, he didn’t fit a fixed position and was cut by the Cardinals before getting to a second contract, and is now a back-up on the lowly Giants clinging to a roster spot.

I’d take Tennessee to cover the over by themselves.

After the home loss to Cal on Saturday, I would assume that Hugh Freeze will be doubling down on his recruiting tactics ($$$) on this one. Just a hunch.

Tennessee is likely to provide a very rude welcome to the SEC in a few weeks. And Josh Heupel won’t hesitate to run the score up on his old school given the way he was dismissed a few years ago. Should be fun times on the OU boards this season.

Why not both?? UOV one weekend, and OV the other weekend. That would give Texas fans two consecutive weeks of laughing at aggy meltdown posts.

Hudson had a varsity football offer, but chose to play JV instead (JV Joey, that is). That’s on him (and his handlers). The DoubleEagle guys funding the Tech football program are finding out that Maguire was little more than a trash talking high school football coach who talked enough smack to make believers out of them. And now the bill comes due.

ND can go to the playoffs even if they slip-up and lose one of the remaining games on their cupcake schedule, so they’re basically in the playoff at this point. Miami now gets two bites at the Playoff Apple and it’ll be interesting to see if Mario can screw them both up. Not only is Miami heavily favored to win the ACC championship to get to the playoffs (that’s the first bite), they are also likely to win at least 10-11 games with that schedule making them a potential at-large playoff team (bite #2) should Mario lose a game or two along the way. With FSU’s loss to GT, Clemson’s embarrassment against UGA, VT losing to Vandy, (and NC State likely to get crushed by Tennessee on Saturday), the ACC has almost a zero percent chance of getting an at-large playoff spot…with the exception of a 10-11 win Miami.

Maalik vs. Musk. That’s must see TV.

The weird thing about the private jet deal (Nicolas Air) is that the company is a huge NIL / booster of Ole Miss, and is based in Oxford, MS. The company has sponsorship ads all over the athletic facilities in Oxford, and have NIL deals with players like Jaxon Dart. Good for Quinn though!

oh goody…the traveling “Lone Star Showdown” trophy is making a comeback!

Kickoff isn’t until 11am. Priorities, man.😀

Sounds like it’s a flip to Georgia Tech. UGA fans saying the recruit is being processed to make room for Justus Terry and the other 5-star DL leaning UGA’s way (E.Griffin). Assuming so, maybe this opens the door for Texas with Hanne (should UGA land another two 5-star DTs in the coming days and weeks)?

Wanna get away?

Two thoughts: 1. The only reason for a CG is TV revenue. The whole playoff seeding / top 4 is there to provide a fig leaf of credibility to the existence of the CG game. If and when we move to a 16-team playoff, the “byes” for the top 4 should go away and then there will be absolutely zero reasons for having the CG games…except for the TV revenue 😀. 2. While I agree with your points on the loser of the SEC CG having an emotional letdown and having the play again the following week, etc. I would also note that the SEC runner-up (CG loser) will typically be ranked 5th in the playoff seeding (ahead of the 3rd place SEC team) and will therefore face a G5 token the following week (at home). For example, if Texas loses to Georgia in the SEC CG, we likely play Liberty the following week at DKR. Not a big risk of loss.

I was guessing this would be a play in this recruitment. That he will be playing college baseball next Spring is huge, as he polishes up the resume for the MLB draft next July (‘25). I don’t expect him to actually go through Spring football (maybe some cursory non-contact drills) as he would be in the middle of college baseball season. But, it provides some additional leverage for contract negotiations (with MLB). Net-Net: as a future professional athlete, he gains nothing by playing high school baseball next spring (2025).

Lol. I keep waiting for the report of massive violations of practice time restrictions and impermissible in-person coaching to drop, but haven’t seen anything yet. And Harbaugh walks away as an unscathed hero.

Good, we get to kick some aggy ass twice in one season.

Texas > LSU. 😀
