  1. For me, it wasn't that long ago we'd have been begging for a 9-3 season in the Sorry Big 12. We've more than held our own in the best league. It's not the result we wanted, but this team played it's heart out. And with the OL we had and no burner at WR, I think this team came pretty close to maximizing. True, we could have beaten OSU and should have beaten Florida, but still, they played their hearts off
  2. Look, I hate it, but for some of these kids, NIL changes the lives of their whole family. I have changed jobs and left places I enjoyed to go somewhere that paid me more, because that meant my wife could leave a job that she hated and find a better job that maybe paid less, or to allow my kids to go to a better school. I'm just saying I think UNV is a dumpster fire, but I can't be mad a kid for making a business decision, even if it's not the one I would make.
  3. I would love to bring Chip Kelly to help with Offense, though the O did look good against Arkansas. And Bring Wilcox on D.
  4. Doesn't Wilcox coach the secondary and has a pretty good result working with PK? Our Secondary needs help
  5. My concern is that too much credit is being given to unproven players. At RB, I love Baxter, but outside of pass pro has he really shown that he can be a #1 RB? I haven't seen it consistently yet. And what exactly has James Simon proven? I like our stable of RBs, but outside Wisner, I have yet to see anyone opposing DCs worry about. And we still don't have a home run threat. None of our RBs are pure RBs who can hit a crease and take it to the house against an SEC defense. I know Wingo has started to come on, and Mosely looks like a complete WR, but if you have a chance to grab a proven burner in the portal, I think you have to take it. I know they are 5 stars, but outside McClutcheon, what have the freshmen shown you? And the OL. Stroh, Kibble, Neto, and Brooks all scare me, being in the lineup for what might be Arch's last year. I can't believe we are even talking about this. Until all of them were removed, Arch was getting killed. And we are supposed to trust that they are gonna get better. They have not earned that at all in my opinion. I think you need to bring in at least one IOL that is a proven, seasoned veteran. If we had signed Pregnon, the state of our OL would have been greatly improved this year. I'm saying you bring in 4, but 1 definitely, and maybe 2. On D, I think you must bring in an S. And maybe a CB too. I think we are promising young players the chance to be the guy and play early, and that is hurting us. I don't think we need to build completely through the portal, but I think we need to get help where we can.
  6. Yeah, I agree with you. I think I had this unrealistic hope he was gonna come out and wow everybody and show he should ahve been a 2nd-3rd round pick. Truth is, he may need a little bit of time to develop.
  7. I watched the whole game (Easy to do as a Bears fan) really wanted to see how Quinn performed in comparison to Zach Wilson. Dolphins 3rd stringers are not good (except Ollie Gordon) so it's hard to tell what he might have looked like with a better supporting cast. And It hard to tell if the play calling was terrible or if his decision making was. But that was hard to watch. He did not look like he belonged. I was foolishly hoping he was gonna put people on notice that he is better than 7th round, but that was not a good first look. He isn't escaping the pocket well, and he is relying on trying to get a pass interference call like he did at Texas, rather than looking for the open player. I'm rooting for the guy, but he isn't making it easy on himself. There are flashes, but the game seem a bit fast at the moment
  8. Athletes are going to need to sign NDA in this transfer portal era. You transfer to a new school and share are calls/plays/signal, I am taking all your NIL money. The other side of being treated like an employee
  9. Across the services, I am seeing a lot of people state that Texas leads for both Ojo and Turntine (and Roseborough). Is it likely (won't say possible) Texas could have an OL class with Turntine, Ojo, Roseborough, Robertson, Wright? Or does Ojo/Turtine signing result in the other one going elsewhere? That seems like a better class that 2022. And that leave out Krempin and Aaron Thomas who could have massive upside like a Goosby
  10. It really makes no sense for Fasusi to have gone to OU.
  11. Anyone who drafts Jalen Milroe before Quinn Ewers likely deserves the pain coming to him. You want to put Quinn behind Sanders? Sure. Behind Ward? Yup. Behind Dart? Not the move I'd make but I can respect it. But that is it. Milroe? I like the guy. But no, not in front of Quinn.
  12. Georgia Homer or not Georgia beat us twice last year to win the sec title, have averaged a recruiting ranking of 2 over the last four years. Georgia has the crown until we take it. Im surprised he has Florida so low. With all the DJ Lagway buzz and NIL money spent I figured they might be a couple places higher and I think Missouri is fools gold
  13. Gideon was hired as the DC at Georgia Tech this morning
  14. CJ I agree but I think there is a way to handle this professionally that doesn’t cost you money.
  15. Russell, I'm not worried about. Mainly because Having a 5* sit 2-3 years is tough and then you have Dia Bell behind him. I believe there is a good chance KJ Lacey is never a full-time starter for the horns unless he really wants to, has patience, and can beat out Trey and Dia for the job 2-3 years from now. That seems like a tough sell
  16. Sorry, but I can't think what would have been with QB Russell, WR Moore, OT Fasusi
  17. So glad he is going pro and not going to another school like Oregon.
  18. Wow. Thank Bobby, that was amazing
  19. Sark said in the press conference (again) TE is the second most important position behind QB. Who is the TE in the 25 and 26 class who is inline to be the next Gunnar Helm?
  20. I saw him early in the game and thought, "Man it would great to get him in the portal"
  21. I really think Sark is waiting for CFP players to exit after their season ends. If given the option, I would rather spend NIL on Golden to return than take a flyer on Singleton and/or Branch
  22. I see people whose family members end up in jobs in the corporate world all the time. Especially if one of them is incredibly talented or powerful, this is about leverage and Zach has it. And I don't think it's just about the money. He has a chance to bring his brother with him to his next job and school. Get his brother a chance and have someone in his corner and with him. This is not about a school, this is a job, and their career. And someone is willing to make this deal. It may not be Texas and that is fine. I prefer Texas not making the kinda deal. But from their standpoint, if Texas said, "Yeah we will take both of you" why wouldn't take that deal? Great education if you want it, a chance at a national title, exposure to play with Arch, and you are paid market value with the opportunity to help provide for your family. You have to ask Texas if they are interested. I get it and am not mad about it, but I hope Texas passes.
  23. Rumor is that Arnold is headed to Miss St. with Lebby
