Everybody keeps telling air the same list of recruits, and air must just keep being a dumbass. It has to be him. I'll never catch up

Dak has essentially been on the same career trajectory as Russell Wilson but without the coaching to get to the super bowls. But he leads the NFL by a pretty good amount in yards this year and is 3rd in TDs. Plus 223 yards rushing and 3 rushing TDs. He's gonna get paid and should. I would've paid him and Amari before Zeke but Zeke forced their hand. Cowboy fans love talking about the Dez non catch but they still could've won that game. And that's the only year in Garrett's time where they even had a chance. Despite having really good rosters of late.

The Cowboys don't have nearly the defense that Seattle had when Wilson started. The Cowboys have drafted pretty well but had to be patient with Jaylon Smith's injury and has lost Vander Esch to injury this year along with an average secondary.

There was a time last year that I was not in favor of paying Dak huge money. He is so inconsistent but better this year.

Sure, there was 4 minutes left in the game against Green Bay, but it's not an overstatement to say that the Dez no catch is huge. Totally changes how the game is played.

Garrett also went 13-3 three years ago and lost 34-31 to GB.

Discount circumstances surround the program to make an argument...Bruining it. Landed elite talent last class...disregard due to inconvenience. Declare narrative before either current signing day...remain silent afterwards. More things change...

Agreed on all accounts, however, new, young coaches are usually able to recruit really well once they start winning. We haven’t been able to do that to this point.

I don’t know. We might be following the Barnes tactic of laying a foundation of hard work with “good guys” but that only worked for Barnes because he won at an extremely high level a year early. Also think it’s easier to be picky on a basketball roster.

I say all this to say I don’t think football recruiting has been bad - it’s been average for us historically as a program and I think statistically a little bit better than what Dooley or Butch did here (minus Butch’s one great class.)

I don’t know. I’ve said this before but I thought Pruitt would recruit like Kiffin did here. That style had it’s obvious drawbacks but we were getting elite talent.

I only know of one member of Kiffin's class that can be considered a groundbreaking achievement. That was Bryce Brown. I think we all know how that turned out.

Yes. It was pretty nice. It was the only one that we actually had a complaint about the room. The beds were so hard! We called about it, and they came up and put eggshell mattresses on them, and we had no more complaints after that. You can definitely tell it is one of the older resorts. We still liked it. We have liked all of the resorts we stayed at, but Wilderness Lodge tops all of them, in our opinion. We stayed there for a week of vacation the first part of December 2 years ago, and it was perfect for the season of Christmas. We loved it there. We are staying in the Grand Floridian in February for the first time, so we are excited about that.

Flashy guys sign on when the flash in the program becomes the norm. Expecting top 10 classes after 4-8 and 5-7 finishes and an 0-2 start is desperate posturing from the usual suspects. Truth is they know better, but they attack while they can...then they shut up for a while until they can pull a negative angle out of their butts.

Trans Siberian is great live! They put on a terrific show. I love Manheim Steamroller's Carol of the Bells as well. And if you aren't familiar with them, listen to their versions of Deck the Halls and Silent Night.

Spent too many years in retail so not a fan of Christmas music but Carol of the bells is the best Christmas song and I don't mind hearing it every year.

My son goes to Auburn and rooms with a guy on their walk-on/practice squad... he's seen him in practice etc and says he is really good and a lot of Auburn players think he didn't get quite enough of an opportunity before they handed the keys over to Nix, despite how good Nix has played... hence the transfer
