    The talent gap is just so wide, I mean ASU was picked to finish last in the mighty Big 12 in the preseason. I live near Tempe and it's a big deal whenever they sign even a 4* recruit. Here are the numbers for the current rosters (from the 247 College Football Team Talent Composite) 11 5*, 50 4*, 19 3* Texas (ranked # 4 in raw talent behind Bama, Georgia, Ohio State) 0 5*, 18 4*, 61 3* Arizona State (ranked # 30 just behind UCLA) Clemson, the team we just beat by 14, had the fifth most talent (7 5*, 45 4*) Things more likely to happen? The woman at the gym who looks like a cross between a young Gisele Bundchen and a younger Emilia Clarke will ask me out for a protein smoothie after my workout today (let an old man dream will ya).

    The odds chart below is from BetMGM - the top 6 (everyone but ASU and Boise State) are pretty close but Texas is currently the slight favorite. I personally think Georgia is ranked too low but I guess losing your starting QB is reason enough for the smart money to shy away. Some odd stuff - Oregon is second favorite but is a slight underdog against OSU. Go figure ...

    Let's hear it for the mass of Tennessee fans who made it to the game and partied with a Michigan banner at "Neyland North". Rocky Top !!! Not much fun once the game began though.

    Wait until you see Arizona State going against Texas ... IU looks much better than ASU

    He probably wanted to stay at Duke. Read the section of the article on the timing of him leaving. "The 6-foot-5, 230-pound redshirt sophomore entered the transfer portal on Dec. 10 after Duke began recruiting Tulane transfer Darian Mensah, the No. 2 quarterback in ESPN's transfer rankings. Mensah committed to the Blue Devils on Dec. 11." The portal door swings both ways.

    Or recovered one of the three fumbles that bounced their way ... or sniffed out the fake punt ... or made another FG ... or gotten a block on Jahdae's interception ... or not dropped so many passes ... Third time is the charm. Hopefully we face them again.

    Maalik Murphy to Oregon State. Wow, thought he'd get a chance at one of the mid-level ACC or even SEC schools but he's going to a bit of a wasteland. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43061657/duke-transfer-qb-maalik-murphy-going-oregon-state

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Dec. 10, 2024)-----Thirteen Southeastern Conference schools placed a member on the 2024 All-SEC Coaches’ Football First Team, as voted on by the league’s head coaches.

    The gym I go to is 1.5 miles from the Tempe city line (Tempe is the home of ASU) and a lot of peeps at the gym wear Sun Devil jerseys. If we win and face them I'm gonna wear my TEXAS sleeveless shirts to the gym every day that week, no matter how many dirty looks I get 🙂 I know there are a couple of other UT guys at the gym, including the president of the Phoenix Texas Exes Club, but we will be outnumbered 50-1. Can't wait to hear videos similar to Zac's from Xavion Alford, Jake Smith (a guy I thought would star at Texas), Troy Omeire, J'Mond Tapp, Prince Dorbah and maybe even Bryan Carrington (who I liked when he was at Texas). Did I miss anyone else? The Sun Devils had a great season but it's about to get real fellas.

    This is funny ... for a guy north of 360 lbs Keondre is surprisingly fast ... watch him stiff arm a 6'6" 310 lb OG at the 7 sec mark 🙂

    Good question ... I saw his name in a mock draft recently, I think it was rounds 1-3 and he was tabbed either 2nd or 3rd round, so why play another year in college? Unless he thinks he can pull a lot more NIL$ than NFL$ ... (just checked two sites, one has him CB5 in the draft, 2nd round, the other has him going in round 3)

    And we would need at least 125 scholarships to add all the players the 'people in this thread' deem scholly worthy ...

    Guessing that Texas players entering the portal are off the team right away, not practicing for the bowl games? That would seem to be the cleanest, probably best way to deal with it but the Arizona State coach, Kenny Dillingham, has a different approach. He's allowing players to announce now so they don't miss out on the first window, but stick around thru the playoff run to remain part of the team. Maybe they lack quality depth and need practice players? Not sure why he's doing it that way. What happens when a current player in the portal wants to skip practice and take a recruiting trip to an interested school? Anyway, a different approach for sure ... he sounds like a player's coach.

    $%&! Literally later the SAME day that ESPN has a nice feature article on him after his tip-INT return for a TD against the Giants - DeMarvion Overshown becoming difference-maker for Cowboys

    Thanks CJ ... I was looking at the ESPN stats for ASU and they didn't show Tapp with any stats in 2024 (tackles etc) so I just assumed he didn't play at all.
  18. ArizonaLonghorn
    He was attending ASU ... did you mean U of Arizona? That would make sense, it was a rout
  19. ArizonaLonghorn
    Can't find ANY stats for J'Mond at ASU ... anyone know if he was injured or just couldn't get playing time in 2024? A big get for us back in the day ...

    According to the Urban Dictionary: "Can I go?" There is one other meaning listed but I'm pretty sure it's not what he meant 🙂 https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cigo

    Only one recruiting service has him as a 3 star ... who could that be? Shots fired!

    Smoke Bouie listed as a Georgia transfer but he didn't even make it thru spring ball before getting arrested and dropped from the program. Five DL listed with 5* ranking out of high school ... pretty incredible.

    Mitch Trubisky went # 2 overall and the Bears traded three picks to move up to get him. Mahomes went 10th overall in the same draft, so even the pros, with all their scouts and interviews and pre-draft testing, can't pick 'em a lot of the time. I think roughly half the QBs taken in the first round don't offered a 2nd contract.

    Little brothers taking it well, or at least as well as could be expected. This is one of the tamer posts "8 and 4 ever" (I guess until the bowl game) thread from TexAgs
