Is it just me or did Cooper look a little skinny?

Let people enjoy this blowout win. Save all the Kyle Flood comments for next week's postgame. You'll probably be right 😄

Will be interesting to see the rest of the special teams units. Some very talented guys who didn't make the depth chart could still make an impact - if they want to.

42-27 Texas, Muschamp blows a gasket

Just wait till Texas State and Arch throws a ball that flutters a little instead of a perfect spiral. It'll be panic all over social media and ESPN.

All this panic about a linebacker version of Johntay Cook. Meanwhile everyone seems to have forgotten we still have Kyle Flood coaching the OL...

Lambo or Ferrari deal would be fitting too

Kyle Flood failed already and we've only had one Fall scrimmage.

Why would Kyle Flood do this to Goosby?

I blame Kyle Flood. Another unprepared OL.

I would say going from the 1st or 2nd most valuable transfer in all of college football, to being in courtrooms and rehab, and likely declaring for the supplemental draft (with a small hope of being drafted in a later round) means he has probably "learned his lesson". I do agree some sort of punishment is warranted, but I would be more lenient than most here and suggest he should get a suspension. Sorsby's side has weak arguments: "Players wont seek help for addiction if the NCAA seeks the maximum penalty for Sorsby" or "It's not his fault because it's a health issue and we shouldnt penalize someone for a health issue". But, I also think that it's an equally weak argument to say: "If Sorsby is not banned for life, the entire game will lose its integrity and players will have an incentive to throw games on purpose and gamble on themselves." The biggest indictment of Sorsby I have seen is that he bet against his QB while at Indiana, while having insider knowledge from practices, training, etc. While that's obviously inexcusable, and definitely illegal, there is still a meaningful gap between what Sorsby did and deliberately throwing a game, and that gap is why to me a ban is a disproportionate response. My bigger issue is why gambling on college sports is legal at all, while we act surprised and appalled when a 21-year-old athlete develops a gambling problem. You can't watch sports nowadays without being bombarded by DraftKings and FanDuel ads, odds overlays, and celebrity endorsements making it all look consequence-free. We're in the middle of a documented gambling epidemic among young men, and the industry's response has been to lean further into it. I've seen it wreck people close to me, both younger and older.

But making bets is not the issue here is it? If it was just betting that was the problem then probably 1/3rd of CFB would be in trouble. It's that he bet on his own team while 18-19.

Sorsby is a young man who has a serious problem. Gambling companies are predatory, as are cigarette companies, and even social media companies. Anyone with a kid knows how addictive and harmful these screens can be. I just hope the kid can get the help he needs, and that his life isn't ruined by really stupid decisions he made when he was 18-19.

Why portal? If he gets good playing time and can really shine against SEC competition at UK, he can get drafted. Being on a bad team makes standing out a little easier and portal every year isn't a great look either.
