SignUp Now!The guy I’m thinking of was an author, a very pompous one at that. Now I’m wondering if I have any of the information correct!Mr Duke had me over to his place for some work he needed done a few years back. I won't say his name, but it's not Beard.
I disagreed with him as much as I ever agreed with him, but you're right, his disdain for aggy is beyond the norm. He made it his personal mission to discount that 12th man thing. People at aggy, even the administration, know who he is.
Yeah, pompous would be an accurate word. He can be very friendly though.The guy I’m thinking of was an author, a very pompous one at that. Now I’m wondering if I have any of the information correct!
Hell getting old my friend!![]()
This statement seems to give lots of credence to building culture which Sark is good at and Jimbo is not.From CTJ, regarding aggy. Classic stuff.
"They've lost 41% of the players from that class (13/32) and they are hanging on by a very thin thread with at least 5 other known guys in that class including Moss and Thomas. If you look at who is left, versus the other top 25 classes from the 2022 cycle, they would not currently be ranked in the top 5, just eyeballing it, but someone should actually plug into the retro tools from 247 or On3 and fact check that. Being a starfucker, Fisher took some guys in that class who are still on campus with high rankings and zero production. Brownlow-Dindy played his first meaningful minutes last night of his career. Bobby Taylor? Malik Scylla? Hunter Erb? Ohrstrom? Yikes.
Their attrition in that class is trending to be worse than even the 2019 class for Texas, which seems impossible. Their class has already been more productive than that class, though, so it can't go that low, I guess. Of the 26 enrollees from that class, Texas received quality starter minutes from Whittington, Gbenda, Washington, Roschon, Sweat and Jacoby Jones. Starter minutes were also contributed by Adimora and Juwan Mitchell, without the quality. 8 out of 26 produced something. 1 super star late bloomer, 2 high quality multi-year starters who got drafted in the middle rounds (Roschon 3rd) or late/UFA (Whitt). Unless Gbenda explodes in 2024, only 2, possibly 3, draft picks from the 3rd ranked class with 26 signess. Yuck. This is where ATM is trending.
Beyond the 2022 class, the bigger problem for that program right now are the mediocre classes surrounding the 2022 class. From the 2021 class, ATM will have, at most, 7 of 23 players from that class on the 2024 roster. That includes Shemar Turner, who is probably headed to the NFL, and such luminaries as Bryce Foster, Reuben Fatheree, and Demetrius Crownover. Trey Zuhn and Amari Daniels are the only net positive contributors to the team if Turner leaves. The 2023 class was plain as grits, coming in at a 15 composite rank with only 19 signees. They've already lost 2 of those. The 2024 class is a composite 17 and may lose its main drivers for that high of a rank in McKinley and Bussey. If those guys leave, that leaves ATM with 12 guys for the class. Best case, ATM goes into 2024 with 57 signees from the previous 4 recruiting cycles. Add Muhammad from 2020 and that's a whopping 58 signees.
They've played the portal poorly and they're going to lose some more players before the 2024 season. You can make a really strong case that ATM will be playing the 2024 season with less than 70 scholarship players (not including PWOs who get the gimme with the dearth of alternative options). That's like being on probation with scholarship cuts or something."
After Miami's loss to Rutgers today.
I told my son before the game that Jackson Arnold was going to throw 4 picks in that game. I went to bed at halftime. Woke up to texts from my son saying he threw 3, but also had a fumble. I was so close.ou had six turnovers against Arizona's one, but significantly out-gained Arizona. I think this is the first B12 bowl loss.
It's the 2nd loss, UCF lost theirs also.ou had six turnovers against Arizona's one, but significantly out-gained Arizona. I think this is the first B12 bowl loss.
Oh, yeah, my brain hasn't connected them to the league yet.It's the 2nd loss, UCF lost theirs also.
Did anyone ever state what happened to the aggy QB on that first play? It looked like a clear break or dislocation. Air cast, but on the sideline in the second half with a sling.Interestesting stat, the Big XII is 3-1 vs the $ec this season so far with all games being played at the $ec's home field or state (aggy vs okie lite in Houston).![]()
I haven't seen or heard of an update, but I believe it was a broken arm.Did anyone ever state what happened to the aggy QB on that first play? It looked like a clear break or dislocation. Air cast, but on the sideline in the second half with a sling.
