  1. Thanks CJ. Read Sanchez was a bit dissapointed in his NIL deals. But I didn't know he was talking to JMiii about it. The Buckeyes let 30+ players leave in the portal. Some were normal business decisions. Some were big names due to NIL issues. Bucknuts seem to have oversold in recruiting and underdelivered on some future NIL deals per some reports/posts I've read on the subject
  2. Cardale Jones with the greatest Ohio St graduation cap ever.
  3. Georgia is fortunate we are not playing them this upcoming regular season. Hope we get to meet up in the SEC Championship. Got a feeling this will be Sark's best team yet.
  4. Delusional sheep humpers believe Tickle Me Elko is a huge upgrade over 8-4 Dumbo. I believe Fat Elko has a better chance of winning a hot dog eating contest than the CFP. I believe Elko will lose more games this year. I believe Texas will beat Aggies again. The farmers may fire Elko after 2 more seasons if they trend down from 2025. But I hope he sticks around for 3-4 more seasons. Elko made a suspect move to elevate his WR Coach to first time Offensive Coordinator and play caller. Will be interesting to see if their 2026 offense struggles vs quality opponents. What else is suspect....The most important position in football, QB. In the transfer portal era, if you are a power team with money and you don't already have a top QB then you go and get a top transfer QB. Right? Is that position controversial? I don't believe so. Yet Elko has not followed it. QB Marcel Reed A&M QB Rating 149.2 and 58.3% completions QB Rating 142.1 and 61.3% completions QB Rating 148.2 and 62.1% completions His Career TD/Turnover Ratio is 1.5/.85 average per game QB Reed has played 3 years but so far his play as a passer continues to be a limiting factor for their offense due to Reed's decision making, inaccuracies and turnovers. Elko should have upgraded with a transfer QB in year 1 imo. QB Cam Ward, QB Will Howard, QB Dante Moore, QB Dillon Gabriel, etc were in the transfer portal early on. Did Elko finally learn from his past mistakes? Nope. He did not try to get a transfer QB this year. Transfers QB Leavitt, QB Sorsby, QB Mensah, QB Hoover, etc were in the portal. To my knowledge, Elko hasn't pursued a transfer QB while at A&M. When the Gomers faced a quality D, they often weren't so lucky. Texas D limited their offense to 17pts, in large part because QB Reed struggled and had 2 INTs. Ags scored only 3 pts in their "lucky" CFP appearance. Elko desperately needs QB Reed to improve or Elko will have squandered 3 seasons in a row on QB Reed. Gomers also lost their backup QB to the transfer portal. If QB Reed goes down, it could get ugly for Elko and the Gomers. Coaches that get the importance of QB and use the transfer portal for QB if necessary.... HC Sark immediately saw a QB issue, got transfer QB Ewers, eventually won the Big 12 and got to the CFP semi-finals twice. HC Day immediately saw a QB issue, got transfer QB Will Howard and won a NC. HC Cignetti immediately saw a QB issue, got transfer QB Mendoza, eventually won the B10 and got to the CFP twice including a NC. HC Cristobal has elevated Miami twice with transfer QBs Ward and Beck. HC Lanning has elevated Oregon thrice with transfer QBs Nix, Gabriel and Moore. Etc.
  5. I don't hate Coach Beard but I hope he gets a beat down this Saturday.
  6. KY mbb has struggled with outcomes on the court but KY spends much more on their players. For the 2025-26 season, the Kentucky Wildcats reportedly hold the most expensive men's basketball roster in the SEC and all of college basketball, with a reported NIL payroll of approximately $22 million. This figure is unprecedented in college basketball, far exceeding the typical $10 million range of other top-tier programs. Passionate fan support and their huge NIL budget make blue blood KY the most attractive of the SEC today imo. Agree to disagree on blue blood KY being behind Texas, Florida and Auburn today. Texas could rise above but we aren't there yet. Ditto for Florida but they are closer to KY than TX. Auby has a good coach and team on the rise but they are behind Arkansas as best job imo. Auby seems to be getting more bang for the buck. But Auby spends less on their coach and players than Arkansas. Arkansas has done a better job of prioritizing mbb on a long term basis.
  7. What? You listed 5 teams not in the SEC. This was ONLY the SEC rankings.
  8. Obviously KY should be #1. Arkansas has had a more consistent winning mbb tradition than Florida but I'm a bit surprised Florida was 5th after their 3 NCs in the 2000s. Florida has 2 more NCs than Ark and has outperformed Arkansas head to head 28-15. I lean Florida #2 since we are talking job rankings of today. Texas has a strong national brand, new stadium and money but I would put us #4 in mbb. Our money has not been all in on mbb. TX fanbase interest and support seems to wane more so when we are not good compared to other passionate basketball programs. TN #5 imo. A&M should not be in the top 6 imo.
  9. Great news! Texas guy with the SDE measurables and good production but not a 5* price tag while following 5* Wesley SDE. Texas hit the sweetspot.
  10. LG was an issue last year because we didn't use the portal. I don't want that to be the case again. Key priorities imo... 1 OG experienced and good enough to start 1 Mike LB good enough to start or rotate and/or 1 Edge good enough to rotate (this addition could free up Spence to play Mike LB)
  11. C Robertson wasn't coming back unless we needed him. TX has only 1 OL transfer to TX so far. Doubting we add Wiscy OL Brunner, maybe Indiana. Ditto Yale OL Bennett, Oregon and Indiana battling for him. C Cruz transferred. Texas needs Robertson. Good to have him coming back. Should be a special upcoming season.
  12. Listed at 6-1 244 true freshman Bo Barnes with 4 years of eligibility. 6A 1st Team All-State LB (highly productive and disruptive senior yr). Ran a sub 11 100M I really don't like losing this physically gifted, young player knowing we still need to pay to add another portal LB. Doubt this can be salvaged but I hope we has a change of heart or we find a compromise and Bo stays like D Williams.
  13. How awful. Jordan is as tough as they come. Get better soon. 🙏 for Jordan and his family.
  14. Texas should stack the box and send pressure all game to stop the run, contain QB Underwood and make him uncomfortable passing and hopefully cause him to make mistakes when passing. WASU came after a young VY and upset us in a bowl game years ago. No excuse for Texas not to attack Michigan's young QB and rushing game with our athletic defensive talent.
