Choate:- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
Same. Growing up, I had unc pjs & boxer shorts, unc backpack, unc golf bag + head covers + golf towel, & a basketball signed by the ā84 team (Kenny Smithās sig was as important to me as MJās, which was/is ridiculous). I was kind of hoping he would move to Boca and become the next sledgehammer for Tom Herman to clumsily wield.- Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.
Hmm, eye of the beholder, I suppose. I see a very ornate bidet + a man with his hands full. Is it not an ad targeting that last-minute holiday shopper looking to give the gift of hands-free cleaning? I mean, fake cowboys in assless chaps canāt afford to be cavalier with their hygiene..seems like a sensible gift for any aggie.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

FiancƩe: *breaks glasses* Beard:- No, Mike Leach, YOU'RE awesome! [Pirates Last Voyage]
This is fucking sad. Iāve always respected Coach Leach for what he has achieved on and off the field; his willingness to speak his mind; his aversion to what everybody else would deem ānormalā for a man in his profession; and most of all his ability to keep opposing players, coaches, and fans on pins and needles when facing his team. He got an extremely bad rap at Tech, and they have been paying for it ever since. I was relieved when he left the big 12 conference because he was the only coach I actually feared; precisely due to the unpredictable nature of his teams and their ability to play up to their competition. There was no variance with Stoops. If you didnāt have supreme talent and a killer instinct, he would embarrass you. Snyderās teams were going to be disciplined, and if you fucked around on special teams, they would beat you. Gundyās the same every yearāif you have the talent and discipline to outlast him, you will win. Kinda the same with Campbell. With Leach, you never fucking knew because you could be up by three scores and be miserable. If they got a lead, youād be miserable because they could score at will and you might not get a chance to come back. You had to defend for four downs and for four quarters. It was constant unease. Mike Leach made me a Chance Mock fan for life. Mike Leach made a lot of people Blake Gideon haters for life. On paper, neither one of those games should have been close enough for those players to have made a difference. Mike Leach made college football fun and populated college football with more of his disciples than many coaches with better records and more trophies. His coaching tree almost seemed to be born out of the need to defeat Hayden Fryās coaching tree, and they largely did in time. Most of all, Mike Leach knew how to humiliate aggies in ways that exposed their deepest insecurities. Here was an intellectual; who never played college football; whose offense was antithetical to everything aggies thought they knew about football; who thumbed his nose at their pageantry and bullshit traditions; and then beat their asses like a rented mule. I loved him for that. And yet, I am reminded of a little anecdote from last year. I happened to be tuned into the post game presser (I tuned into a lot of his presser bc they were often gold) after his team beat a&m yet again in Kyle, and during questioning, a voice seemed to interrupt the proceeding out of nowhere. All of a sudden, Leachās face lit up as he realized the voice was a former Aggie coach, either Gene Stallings or RC, I canāt remember which, complimenting him on how well his team played that day. He stopped the whole presser to have a brief conversation with him in front of everybody. Leach was genuine and gracious, and it correlated with what I had heard other coaches relay about the type of guy he was off the field. The man is an absolute treasure and I sincerely hope he pulls through this because college football is so much better with him in it. Godspeed, coach.- Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.

I recognized that. My point was that he further qualified the statement by pointing out how poorly the ā19 class performed after the fact. But you are right, it certainly was not a wild assertion to say the ā23 class will be better. I didnāt mean to imply that it was preposterous, only that their fans seem to want to devalue Rileyās achievements during his time in Norman out of spite for the way things ended. The class is good and I think they have done about as well as anybody could have hoped for in Venablesā first full cycle. The hagiography is a bit much though.- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
The portal experience is what I assume HS reunions were like before Facebook.- OU Recruiting 2023: Blowing and Going
I think it is based on revisionist history. As if Riley wasnāt personally responsible for the #3, #1, #1, and #2 finishers in heisman voting over four consecutive years (and a fifth finalist this yr). The mental gymnastics they go through to diminish Riley and pump Venables really is a spectacle unto itself. Weāll see if Lebby can get Arnold to that level, but the fact of the matter is that qb is the most important position in the game, and in seven years, Riley has produced five heisman finalists at that position, and is yet to lose more than two games in a season. Iād say that is pretty fucking unique. OU fans still seem to think they won the trade though..which is great for Texas. After reading the post belowāyep, itās revisionist history. The ā19 class actually sucked because nobody panned out, but Iām sure every member of the ā23 class is going to show up, show out, never get in trouble, never transfer, and ultimately wind up on an nfl roster in five years because BV is a really swell guy and everybody likes him a lot more than āLiaRā. Did I get that right?- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
You think thatās bad, OU struggled to defend him as a lead blocker, running back, and receiver..which was hilarious.- 2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized

Certifiable bullshit. Especially considering he was class of ā04, but I guess aggies will believe anything. From an SI article: āMy uncle, he played at the University of Texas in '97, '98, four years he played there, played with Ricky Williams and all those guys. I used to go up to the spring games and stuff when I was coming up. I was such a big Texas fan. Everything was UTā¦I often think, [Mack] could have lied to me and I would have gone to Texas!ā I will say that Reggie McNeal was one of the most talented hs players I have ever seen in my life. Being from North Texas, I thought it was impossible that there could be a better player in the state that year. I was wrong. However, that game he had as a freshman vs OU showcased exactly what I witnessed when he was in hs. He deserved better than what Fran turned him into.- Ohio State vs Michigan. The Game. Fox. 11 am Saturday
Michigan is my other team. All week, I was having flashbacks to 2006 and how devastated I was watching that game (#1 vs #2) from a bar in downtown atx. I canāt tell you how happy I am to see them dominate in the āshoe. OSU is overdue for a little regression to the mean, so I hope those fuckers overreact and burn it down after an 11-1 season. Go Blue.- This Oklahoma team JUST LOOKS DIFFERENT: OU Screenshot Megathread
Oh, man. I forgot I had this in the hopper yesterday. Canāt wait to hear Lehman & Ikard on this game. I am anxious to see what happens in Morgantown tomorrow, because the schadenfreude will ratchet up to John Blake levels if they lose. TFB has been pumping out grade A level bullshit and super k, esq. has gone from having an aneurysm trying to explain why the team canāt play ācomplimentary (sic) footballā to simply blaming all of their woes on the prior staff (the one that never lost more than two games in a seasonāāgrinch didnāt prepare his players at allā āgrinch didnāt scout opponentsā āgrinch ran one play 50% of the timeāāthe same staff that produced 10 defensive draft picks in the past 3 years) while heaping praise on Valai, et al. He has already seemingly given up on both Gabriel (heās ready to hand Arnold the keys right now) and Lebby, as well. Iām amazed at the fact that they donāt realize if what theyāre saying is true, then they actually celebrated losing the single greatest offensive mind that has ever lived. If grinch was that bad, and Lincoln still managed to drag his moronic dc and his flaming heap of shit defense to 10-win season after 10-win season, they should have built him a fucking statue. I mean, heās kept right on doing it in LA, no? Meanwhile, both Lehman and Ikard have been highly critical of the team in all aspects, but I havenāt heard them throw the former staff under the bus at all. Their issues are centered on scheme (ānever seen a bear defense get run on so muchā), technique (āeverybody stands straight up on the snap..because they donāt know what they are doingā), and aggression (āway too softā) I especially enjoyed hearing Lehman describe the ou defense as a series of pillow fights, and Ikard tempering his modest praise of the offensive lineās improvement with ābut everyone other than the center (who received the most criticism) will be gone next year.ā If that wasnāt enough, the after dinner mint is venables himself. When he isnāt struggling to maintain his composure with the media, he is endlessly spouting canned coaching aphorisms (Inky Johnsonās shit). He also spent a good chunk of his presser this week literally listing every player on defense and how many career starts they have in an effort to explain why they canāt seem to get lined up or adjust to motions and shifts by the offense. Other than that, everything seems to be going swimmingly up in methsville. Apologies for length and timing.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
First off, have they been to the grove? Second, I love the āour toys are betterā line. You have the same fucking record. Like two eunuchs comparing dick sizes. You aināt using them properly regardless. Everybody is there because neither side thinks it is possible that they could lose. Everybody is nice because they think the other side is absolute garbage on the field and arenāt the least bit threatened. On Perkins: These people really are the dumbest motherfuckers in the nation. They see a player with an extremely unique skill set and immediately discount him because he doesnāt look like anyone else. Not to mention, one of the biggest complaints about their fucking dc is that he has been playing DIME personnel a ton. The one type of defensive player that every team desires to match up against modern offensive schemes, and aggies say āwhat the fuck use would he be?ā- 2023 EDGE Colton Vasek
B Rob was an athletic freak of nature. Iād be curious how many blocked kicks he had in his career, because, other than murdering bomar in the cotton bowl, my clearest memory is his ridiculous vertical on kicks. I seem to remember some talk of him possibly competing in the Olympic trials for Beijing, as well. Such an explosive athlete on the edge. If vasek hits b rob levels, I think most would be pleasantly surprised and quite gruntled. Sidenote: Iām still impressed by the lengthy career loeffler had in the nfl. - Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
