  1. Our team needs to show up with more fire in their bellies than they did in the Swamp and we will be ok.
  2. I am not a flood fan, but I do have to say he has done a pretty good job of developing three star talents. My disconnect is how some Oline coaches (Georgia/Miami/BlowU) get good production out of freshmen. They are developing them different or recruiting them differently than Flood. It will be very interesting to see how Ojo develops. Maybe Oline divas can be a thing, but as unit oriented as Olines are, I dont see it. Very hard to say a 6’6 300 pound 17 year old is going to have the work ethic and drive to become a round 1 talent. A kid with a chip on his shoulder who mans up between the ages of 18-21 is more likely to be a stud olineman than a diva out of high school. The poor man Larry Allen comment show it. Sonoma State. Erik Williams. Some BFE Ohio college I can’t even remember. Maybe those days are dead and gone, but I don’t know if the juice is worth the squeeze to pay a freshman olineman 3-5 mil.
  3. This is a little bit different than Chambliss which was a question of eligiblity. This would set a standard that it is ok to bet on your team if they get an injunction. That cannot be a good outcome.
  4. I got Alex Honnold free soloing El Cap.
  5. As Joe Zura once said, “find someone who loves you as much as MBHORNSFAN loves to argue.” I think a better one is find someone who loves you as much as HarveycMD loves Kobe .
  6. By your metric the greatest of all time should be John Stockton.
  7. If it was possible for a GM to have picked Kobe over Wemby, that GM should never be allowed to be involved in any sort of basketball decisions ever again. The last comparable to Wemby is Wilt and maybe Kareem. Arguably Wemby has a better skillset than Wilt and may even be better than him in the longrun. Could Wilt have shot the three is an interesting question. Wemby is clearly more skilled and athletic than Kareem—granted Kareem had a ton of miles on him by the time he went pro after four years at UCLA. The comparison for Kobe is MJ and no one credibly claims that Kobe was ever as good as MJ. Even the best players who played against both say MJ (Isaiah Rider etc). Kobe gets glazed because of nostalgia. No one seriously thinks Kobe was better than MJ, but Wemby has a shot at being the best big man of all time given what he is already doing. He just has to stay healthy for a long time—which is really what made Kareem and Wilt great and able to put up monster career statlines. Put Lebron into that category as well. Lebron managing to stay healthier at his age is also a testament to his legacy.
  8. This kid is beastly. I hope we get him. This idea of body type measurables for certain positions should be thrown out the window when the athletic talent is high enough. Edit: he would definitely be a great fit for to follow Lance Jackson
  9. Georgia has as crazy a room full of tight-ends as I can ever recall. I have heard Brock Williams compared to Brock Bowers alot. Is that a fair comparison?
  10. Hi from North Crowley? 🤘🤘🤘
  11. The full faith and credit clause is a federal statute that requires federal courts to give credit to state court decisions. The Mississippi court entered the injunction first, so it was decided there first. If a federal case is brought in Texas it would be precluded by the prior Mississippi decision under the doctrine of res judicata—which means it has been decided in latin. If you didn’t have this rule, nothing would ever be final in the law in cases between the same parties. You would have endless lawsuits in different states and federal courts trying to get a different outcome. The case was between Chambliss and the NCAA. The NCAA is who decided eligibility, so someone else wouldnt have standing to sue Chambliss to prevent him from participating in Texas. Unsure if that answers your question but our country’s legal system is a balance between state and federal law known as federalism. There is no chance the case can be relitigated again. Chambliss is clear.
  12. The full faith and credit clause and doctrine of res judicata prevents another court from relitigating the issue. I am an attorney.
  13. I mean, we pay to subscribe to this website and hope for smoke signals from the oracles that we are gonna get the new shiny recruit. When they flip or go somewhere else it isn’t the “sky is falling” its just disappointing. Last cycle I feel like Ojo sabotaged his visit week and drove other recruits away, like the IOL kid who packed his stuff and his mom drove him straight to Aggy where he promptly committed.
  14. This feels alot like last year when we thought we would get multiple major OL recruits and were lucky to get Turntine.
  15. There is a miniature donkey ranch in Spicewood by our lake house https://www.facebook.com/countrymusicminiaturedonkeys/ Their star stud donkey is George Jones but I bet you can convince them to name one Joe Z
