Its like City of Johnson City. If dont make Citizens happy. Young people leave, no one repopulates. Old people die:

Bad example. But similarly. You miss on a very large prrcentage of blue chippers, who had on campus. time and time again. ones you did land earlyv on, you can't keep because you got out talented in the big games. Sooner or later, the tarnish wears off.

Love this staff. But, it feels like the boat is taking on water. really thought with Nico leaving would be a positive. And still may be. Not getting the warm and fuzzies out of the porthole.

They were at a point with Orange Bowl win they could really stock pile talent. Same for playoff berth. Instead Florid reloaded. bama reloaded. georgia reloaded.

I mean 26 class we really have a grand opportunity to have one of those elite level next level classes. true to form we lost Keys. lost the NC DE, and havent landed anyone with any real difference ability.

Faizon is that guy. We have to surround him with best of the best. and that is simply not happening.

We hope Faizon signs, but at this point, I'm not sure his commit holds.

It has to be UCLA for Nico I would imagine. I am sure they can pay him some but have fun getting destroyed in front of a half empty stadium.

A spot inadvertently created by nic flipping Madden to Arkansas. UCLA is beyond a mess right now.

Choices for QB1 position

A. Get a guy out of Portal ( then watch everyone complain about the guy)

Or


B. Give the keys to the car to Merk or GM ( then watch individuals complain about not getting a QB from the Portal)

Or


C. Both
Click to expand...
We have to get a portal QB so it becomes a debate if we should have just paid Nico and or cheaped out on getting the (insert right guy name).

My son is constantly saying “brung” instead of “brought”. Just yesterday we have this exchange.

“I brung home my math test. You need to sign it.”

“Ok, but brought is the correct term.”

“But everyone at school says brung.”

So I look it up.

So nonstandard but still acceptable. I will not accept “broughten” though.

They make changes with an eye on the current times. Someone using "brung" makes me question their schooling. Then again....loose/lose... there/they're/their... guess that horse has already bolted the barn.

Couldn't pay him with how they acted. Pay him now, have to pay more for an SEC title game and more for each playoff game. We'd probably end up over $6mil/yr for him. No way he's worth 50% more than Tony Vintella

I like Robertson...6'4" 220lbs was a 4 star and top 25 QB outta Texas in the 2021 class went to Miss State to play for Mike Leach so got a year learning the Air Raid offense. Then 2 years at Baylor and the season he started he was running the spread under Jake Spavital... so should have a pretty good handle on a lot of the same philosophy we run.

He was 7th in qbr last year and threw for nearly 450 against LSU in their bowl game.

We agree bro, but bring a loss and watch Nico roll North Dakota school for the blind and some will be asking if we could have handled it better.

What is our philosophy now? The book is out on the Heupel scheme. Are we moving to the pistol as rumored? Given our situation on the OL and with the WRs, I'd have to think we'd need a guy who has some serious running ability. Kinda want the Becht kid to be honest.

Become multiple: Pistol + 12 personnel + more rub concepts - less vertical. More like Golesh + Ole Miss and less like a teen on NCAA spamming gut runs and vertical streaks.
