So....TCU has an Olineman thats 6ft5in 455lbs....and a Dtackle thats 439lbs??? Lol

IiRC it was Flarduh that had the 450lb Dtackle last season whose butt was wider than the shoulder pads on any lineman we have at UT, right? He could only play a couple snaps at a time though...so we didnt have to see him much since defenses cannot sub players in time when our offense is in tempo...

TCU 455-pound freshman nicknamed 'Big Bubba' going viral as expected 'fan favorite' this season

Extra credit if yall can understand any more than every 3rd or 4th word this guy says on his twitter post in the article...

I saw that yesterday. That young man is an absolute unit. But repeatedly moving that much mass around during a game is challenging.

I am still saying 9-3 is the most likely outcome this season but I hope that i am wrong lol. It takes a lot of luck, depth, and a lack of injuries to make a run at a championship. Ask those Arkansas fans about 1998... we could catch fire and whip everyone but i think we are still a year or 2 away from that. Thankfully, there will be 12 playoff teams starting in 2024 and i believe we can make the playoffs pretty much every season under CJH...then we have as good a chance as anyone to grab the 'chip.

9-3 isn't a bad prediction. Still a lot of variables which could make this season very special or kinda meh.

I think with the B1G adding USC and Oregon, and SEC adding Texas and Oklahoma that all the top talent is gonna be concentrated in these 2 conferences every season. Does not bode well IMO for Clemson or Notre Dame unless they can join 1 of the 2 juggernauts. Same for FSU and Miami....what % of national championships in football are gonna now be SEC or B1G??? I think 90% or more. I just dont see elite 4 and 5 star kids going anywhere else knowing they will be criticized for not playing the best of the best in college.

The third party networks like Late Kick and On3 Sports are really hyping up Milton and co.

I am in pretty much the same boat, 9-3, 10-2; beat everyone would we should. wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to beat Georgia or Bama and lose a game we shouldn't again.

I think some other things besides final W/L will also come into play on my opinion for the season.

Starting a streak over Florida and/or Bama would be huge. especially as it means beating them at their place.
Offense staying in the Top 15.
Defense taking a step forward.
IF we lose, looking better than we did against UGA and South Carolina. I am tired of losing games because we just don't show up.

Semi agree. We didn't show up against USCe. UGA on the other hand had our number from the moment the coin was flipped. We just couldn't get anything started with them.

The Gamecocks this year... I want to have video game numbers against them. And put Rattler right on his ass fun the first play.

Establishing win streaks with UF and Bama would be delightful.

The QB situation is the big unknown for the next two years. The only thing that changes that would seem to be the chance that Milton loses the job early this season due to injury or play and Iamaleava does what he's supposed to be capable of doing and goes into next year as a seasoned starter; but as clarksvol says, he looks a little scrawny at this point.

With our scheme Nico should get plenty of chances to shine and get used to the play. I could easily see him getting almost 1000 passing yards even in a full-time back up role.
