Had no idea 1 injury (outside of QB) would affect bammers so much, but their board is melting down and already onto "lost season" mode. I'm sure Dabo kicking their teeth in has plenty to do with it too. No longer have their cape of invincibility.

They also lost RS senior Josh McMillon for the season a couple weeks ago. He was supposed to be the other starter.

Under/over 2 sacks for Aubrey in his debut?

Under. Not sure I heard a ton out of him from scrimmages and Spring as to pass rushing. He should be a solid contributor, especially in run D, but I expect Darrell Taylor and Deandre Johnson to be our primary sack threats.

Well Saban is a West Virginian, who went to college in Ohio, and spent years at MSU. Your real home is what you make it and that often doesn't happen until well into adulthood.

And Fulmer, our ultimate leader, is Orange through and through!

Okay, just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. People were giving their ideas of what the punishment should be for the offenses. Running stairs, missing games etc. are usually given for those offenses. Now if it is proven that he physically harmed the woman or did give a threat to actually start a school shooting then dismissal should be the punishment. Hopefully the ones that have the facts will make the punishment fit the crime.

But does it not also mean that there was enough said or did to put it into effect? I will say that the authorities in SC never charged him with anything and I hope that means that they at least investigated, so that much is in his favor. I do not know all the facts, but not everyone gets a restraining order. I am going to have to trust the coaching staff and AD to do the right thing once they have all the facts and once the university makes a judgment regarding this incident.

All I know is my son got one with a warning of serious consequences if he did not follow it all because his girlfriend said he hit her. At the time body building was his hobby. If he had hit her the way she said, there would have been lots of evidence. There was none. I get issuing one just in case so a woman in danger can be protected. Unfortunately most people assume because one is issued there is ample evidence that it must be true.

I honestly should not have speculated. The other incident in SC is a bit concerning to me. However, I do not know what actually happened there and I do not know what conditions, if any, he had for us to take his commitment. I think I am just going to let it play out and hope he gets the support he needs.

I am glad that you're sharing your personal experience. I have never known anyone to have one, so I thought it was a big deal. It still is a big deal, but I can see how, in many cases, it's just erring on the side of caution and how easy it is for someone to manipulate the system when all you have to do is make an accusation.

Just a little perspective on the perception of our roster losses this camp. So far we've lost Gooden, I guess we technically got one back in Garland, and Buchanon. We'll see about Bryce. Which is less than we've had at this point in camp in years. Texas was down to 2 RBs due to injuries in camp to 3 of their scholarship RBs and one walkon that they like a lot, so they had to move their highly ranked true freshman qb to RB to start the season so they could have 3. Which leaves them with only 2 scholarship qbs right now. One of the RBs, 4 star 2019 signee Derrian Brown had a stroke in January and it's not for sure he will ever play again. They also lost another 2019 highly rated signee in 4 star LB De'Gabriel Floyd, who was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis earlier this year and will be out for at least the season. This hasn't affected their hype much and maybe it won't affect them much. There's probably teams that have had even worse luck this preseason, I just have to hear about Texas all the time. Personally I think they're overrated right now because they surprised in the bowl game. They lost a ton of production to the draft and graduation. They have a good qb though which can cover some of that up. But they basically lost their whole front 7 on defense. I'm actually thinking about betting some of my longhorn friends on this opening game vs LA Tech. I think there's a real solid chance for an upset there.

I wouldn’t take La Tech straight up to win, but with the way the Longhorns have opened the last two seasons under Herman, 20.5 points seems like a LOT to be giving. Their defense may be losing a lot of bodies, but I think they’re upgrading in talent at every spot besides Omenihu. Maybe Gary Johnson as well, but it’s not like he even got drafted.

The RB (lack of) depth is their biggest problem, IMO. You forgot to mention that the 2nd string RB (Whittington) is a WR they converted in spring practice, so Ingram is the only true healthy RB on the roster right now. Scary lack of depth when you consider how much Herman would like to run to take carries away from Ehlinger so he can stay healthy.
