    Pretty crazy that Wake Forest (3) shows up more than Blue Bloods like Miami (2), Texas (2), Florida State (1) and tied with UGA (3) and Notre Dame (3). granted, these were like the only 3 years that Wake Forest were good, but let’s ignore the cherry picking!

    We would still find a way to have them recover

    Please don't steal Jake Dickert from my Alma Mater! I know he's going to be gone at some point because he's awesome, but can I interest you in one Manny Diaz? He's an Alumni and is doing well at Duke! He's also familiar with coaching in Florida!

    The ones I’ve noticed the most are Sikorsky and Robertson. Not saying anything about Baker, just that those two whiffing stunts have been very noticeable for me
  5. Battrayal
    Yeah not saying we are similar to them, the only point of bringing them up is to say that you only really need to put together your best football in the playoffs. Just gotta get there

    Bad team, you mean. Nobody thinks Florida is bad this year

    Love this post. I think this sort of mindset has cropped up since NIL and transferring, since now it doesn’t feel like kids playing a game. the constant negativity is getting exhausting. Criticism is fine, but only focusing on that all the time is draining. I can get caught up in it too. But expecting perfection isn’t realistic. We are in as good of a spot as anyone in the SEC and clearly have the talent and shown flashes. we just need to survive to December and put it all together then (see 2024 OSU)

    Got it. Does that include Cam Hall? Or is he more of an edge? If he’s in that group then we have 4 signed already, which answers my question lol

    Is that due to the Ohio state flip rumors of Currie? Or would we take them all regardless? Can never have too many of those boys in this D. Seems we rotate 5-6 in a game.

    My third grade team had a kid like this. about 3 times a game we would hand it off, he would run 20 yards outside to the right, stop, run all the way back around to the left, stop then run all the way back to the right for a touchdown. must've covered 2.5 football fields a TD

    Man I loved the effort by this team. D was awesome, definitely championship level. Very happy about how Arch responded after his boneheaded play. Could've very easily repeated our 3rd quarter woes but turned it around. But man, if I were a DC planning against Texas, I'd TE stunt every play. Sikorsky and Robinson are too slow with eyes, hands and feet to pick any of them up (aka they do nothing good on those plays). They were teeing us up. Someone cooler than me could put together an epic montage of whiffs from our GCGs on those plays this year. would probably be 10 mins long. Overall, happy with the result. Are we perfect? Far from it, but we just need to be good enough to make it to December and then put it all together there (see OSU 2 years ago). The pieces are clearly there, especially if we just stick to what we do good at.

    hes been injured the past few weeks (though not on the injury report) so I'd guess injury. He did get a run or two today

    Or keelon Russell, kamario, Carr, Sayin, etc. i think recruiting is still path 1, with the portal to patch when guys don’t hit. While it’s nice to go out and have a proven commodity, it’s not like xfers are 100% hits either. It all comes down to costs. my preferred strategy is have one 5 star guy recruited, surrounded by cheaper 3 and four stars (lotto tickets). Then be ready to go to portal if they don’t pan out. if it’s actually true that homegrown starters can be cheaper than the highest priced portal, then this would make sense. If they cost the same either way, then just get the best player. Is Arch costing more against UTs budget than leavitt? I wouldn’t think so, but he’s also unique in that brands are more willing to pay for his name outside of donor money

    This is good stuff! What stands out to me is how important the '23 class was last year to the team. We lost a lot of great talent to the league that year (love seeing Manny ball out for my bears every week. Initially thought he needed to come back and be a 1st rounder but turns out he was more than ready) I think the 30-40% each year is a good sweet spot. Depending on where your holes are, development timelines, how our recruiting classes go, etc.

    In the old system they would be done since they didn’t redshirt but now with everyone getting 5 I think they do

    I would say root for Big 12 cannibalization. While I think a 2 loss team makes it over a 1 loss non-champ, not sure about a 3 loss team. Hope for all but the champ to have 2 losses. Otherwise root for no weird conference champs (like Duke last year). Hope Miami wins the ACC. While I hope the committee would put in a 3 loss SEC team over a two loss Notre Dame (say they lose to Miami, and their best win is against Wisco and SMU), we all know everyone loves ND for some reason and their dumb auto bid being in the top 12 gets them in. So hope they drop one more game. Just a few off the top of my head

    Is RJ the Hi? What would you say the odds are for the other visitors from the ‘27 class? The other LB, WR and Oline from Texas 8&4
  18. Battrayal
    It’ll be interesting to see where we are ranked. While I think we should move up 7 (ahead of LSU, USC, Iowa, Tenn, TTU, Ole Miss, Houston), I think we will likely only move up 5 spots to 14.. I think they’ll keep TTU and LSU ahead. Maybe Ole Miss. but ultimately ranking this week won’t matter too much

    31-27 Texas

    Our run game is so frustrating cause we either get 6 yards or lose 3. A bad play isn’t 0 yards. It’s losing a bunch. The amount of unblocked guys making tackles in the backfield makes no sense
  21. Battrayal
    It’s play calls like that that infuriate me. What are we doing??? if we want to go up the middle, go big. If we want to spread out, play to space. If we are going to do that just punt
  22. Battrayal
    Man 16:57 is terrifying. I think the biggest issue with Manning is in his head. Just seems to not have a great football sense and grip of the game. Peyton and Eli weren't generational based on arm talent. Peyton especially was an OC on the field who could out think you. Now I don't expect Arch to have anywhere close to that in college. but he seems to be struggling with basic route concepts and decision-making. Let alone being able to read defenses and take what they give. I have been purposely detached from reading anything on the game since I was madder than I have been in a long ass time.. so just now getting caught up. Just so many self-inflicted wounds.
  23. Battrayal
    23-6 Texas
  24. Battrayal
    26-17 UT (The real one, hookem)
  25. Battrayal
    Best of luck! Will be thinking of ya and sending prayers
