UTTUCK

You’re a pretty good pitcher when you’re on your “B” game, and still give up zero runs to a Top 5 team. Volantis has to be the best Sunday starter in the country.

Back when Mack was hired shortly after they went on a barn storming tour of Texas cities. I was at the one in Houston, after his talk to crowd was meeting people. I got in line, got to him, “ Hey Coach Brown, Mike T}%^, nice to meet you, welcome to Texas. I am nothing special, as average Joe as you can get. Fast forward 8-10 years later, they go on another barnstorming tour. Again I go to the one in Houston. I get in line, get to Mack, and before I can say a word, he sticks his hand out and says “hey Mike, how ya doing, thanks for coming”. I kid you not, I was astonished. I think he has a photographic memory.

Wow, saw film on him on Coffee and Football this morning. This kid is a monster!!! Talk about play through the whistle. This kid plays with a mean streak!! Hope we are pursuing him.

Some season observations thus far: Our pitching quality & depth-WOW!! Love how this team hits to all fields. Carson Tinney is taking a beating behind the plate with foul tips!! Pack is a stud!!! We’ve got a bunch of DE’s and TE’s on our pitching staff.

Jonah is taking too many good pitches early in his at bats, getting behind, and having to bat defensively

With Volantis moving to starter, who will closer be? Grubbs??? I was looking at their roster, Horns got some big ol boys!!!😁🤘

…love it Gerry. To the guy accusing the guys of lieing or being dishonest about the OL recruiting and TP, really, are you serious? The guys are on air passing along facts that they have verified, and giving their opinions, THAT’S IT!!! What incentive do they have to lie or be dishonest about anything? But I’m with Gerry, Take the Train!!!

I see him training as the swing tackle, but I would definitely consider cross training him at guard as well.

Yeah it was a tough choice to call him a “non star”, but since he wasn’t drafted til 4th round, it tilted me towards non. But don’t get me wrong, a very good solid player. my honorable mention defensive player would probably be Jeff Leiding.

I’ll start with mine. Offense: Ivan Williams, big strapping RB, but when I first started really liking him was when I heard a story about a hot shot recruit coming into town for a recruiting visit and started running his mouth. Ivan lined him out and told him to shut the f up, or he’d shut him up. Defense: Brian Robison, very good DE, but so athletic was used on FG defense because of his like 40” vertical. Blocked several in his career. And who can forget the hit on Rett Bomar, fumble and Rod Wright rumbling for about 70 yard TD in RRR.

You mention overhangs in Muschamps system. Who are our overhangs on the roster right now? Who are players we are looking at in the portal that fits that position?

1/2 to 1/16. Do players just have to have entered window by 1/16? On 1/17 and beyond, if you haven’t found a team can you still sign after 1/16?

Hobby Airport, they can make their own way to Austin…lol

I was born and raised in Baytown, TX, and lived most of my adult life in the Clear Lake/Friendswood areas, so I freely admit that I'm a Houston/Bay Area homer. We start this endeavor by me renting a 15 passenger van in North Shore, TX. I pick up Corey Redding (DE) first, short drive into Houston and pick up DD Lewis (MLB), Rod Babers (CB), Joe Walker (S), take 288 south and pick up Quinten Jammer (CB) in Angleton, continue south to Freeport, hang a left and pick up Casey Hampton (DT) in Galveston. Take 45 north to Hwy. 146 and go north to Texas City, pick up J. Anderson (DE), Everick Rawls (OLB), Tyrone Jones (OLB). Continue north on 146 to La Porte and pick up Shaun Rogers (DT). Continue on 146 north thru Baytown to Dayton, and pick up Dak Pearson (S). Now if you wanted to save some gas driving to Dayton you might consider moving Jammer to (S), and picking up Ervis Hill in Texas City for (CB). However you look at it, that's a pretty good defense on half a tank of gas.

Does he fall between the cracks, or where does he fit in? I would think he has the frame to add 15-20 lbs., and retain most of his speed. Could he be the power RB we’ve been looking for? Did he have any experience in HS playing defense? Could he get into a LB rotation?
