  1. It is a bit of a mystery why Flood is so good at recruiting and developing OTs but can't pick or develop interior lineman to save his life. Most OL coaches have the opposite problem.
  2. I remember watching this live at DKR. The video doesn't do justice to how smooth the 'rip and dip' move was that Kindle pulled off and then his acceleration into the QB. He looked like a heat seeking missile and the OT barely got a hand on him. Kindle was an absolute pass rushing beast and it's unfortunate that his pro career was almost nonexistent due to injury.
  3. The problem with 247 is that CBS doesn't seem to be willing to invest in retaining or developing talent. I was a subscriber there for a decade+ and finally left last year after a lot of the talent moved over to here. I tried giving 247 a chance after Rod and Jeff left but the quality and quantity of content isn't there anymore. For example, it shouldn't take them five days to publish a podcast after a game. Anyways, I feel for Chip and Matt but the site is a shadow of its former self. I hope Jeff, Rod, and Matt can reincarnate Longhorn Blitz at some point.
  4. He sure fell into a favorable situation that most coaches would kill for. It will be interesting to see if his success holds up in a revenue sharing environment.
  5. Lame just like not holding a spring game.
  6. Banks and Golden were first rounders. We weren’t going to compete with that. Ewers I could go either way on keeping. Arch is playing at a higher level than him now but perhaps we wouldn’t have dropped the Florida game with Ewers. Williams was a bit of a headcase it seems and couldn’t be talked (or money whipped) into saying because he viewed himself as a first round pick despite all advice otherwise.
  7. All four of those were going to the NFL no matter what. They either believed they would be early round picks or were not interested in returning to school (Cam W.).
  8. Saban would be 75 next season. How many years of high-level coaching do you think he has left in the tank? He's the GOAT but was smart (and humble enough) to retire at the very top.
  9. I think you’ve been watching too much of a certain “news” channel that ironically is based in NYC. They conveniently leave that part out when they’re trashing NYC and all the cities for that matter.
  10. 1. We have always given big cushions for some reason. This was true under Herman too. 2. We’re running zone and Akina is a man technique coach. 3. Makuba and Barron were huge losses and difficult to replace.
  11. Is Neto an attitude/effort issue vs. not as talented as expected? This is his fourth year in the program, I wouldn't think they would let him hang around if it was the former.
  12. What happened to Wingo? Looked like a wrist or finger injury based on how he came off the field.
  13. Watching this on skycast we leave the middle of the field open over and over...incredibly frustrating to watch
  14. We absolutely must burn clock on this drive
  15. I always wondered who owned that car. Walked by it many times on the way to/from DKR. RIP and condolences to his family.
  16. How embarrassing that a governor is spending his time on this stuff.
  17. Delusional fan base. It also seemed like a poor fit from the get go and I never understood why he left ND. Maybe PSU will give him a look.
  18. Bobby time to ban this fool
  19. Charlie Strong was treated fine. He lost the fanbase by delivering consistently bad results with no signs of improvement after three years. While we didn't have a great AD then, at least he did go to bat for CS, i.e. flying to Tulsa to beg Sterling Gilbert to be our OC (one of the more embarrassing CS episodes among many to choose from). The Texas job today is as prestigious as ever. We have one of the better ADs, huge and very supportive alumni base, great recruiting footprint, and a good albeit flawed in areas roster fresh off a deep playoff run.
  20. The old man doesn't have a clue.
