[quote]Finebaum is the Jerry Springer of college football media.[/quote] Was about to make the same exact comment. I haven't watched/listened to Fireball in years b/c I don't have time to get invested in dopey call-in characters-- I'm interested in actual football information. If the "personal"...

That's true, but a red herring. I was just replying to the post citing recruiting rankings as evidence of program superiority. There was a legitimate reason why the data was so skewed for 2021. I wasn't even addressing the main topic. ...

That Tech DL, Milton Williams, had some impressive pro-day numbers and was a productive player and leader for several years. At 6-foot-3 284-pounds, he's no slouch. Pro day results: bench press- 34 reps three-cone drill- 6.87 20-yard shuttle- 4.25 vertical jump- 38.5-inch broad jump- 10-fo...
That 4-game series against USM was intensely competitive and a display of the greatness of college baseball. USM wins Game One (4-3) and Game Three (12-11). Tech wins Game Two (5-3) and Game Four (7-6). What better way to end the series with a walk-off HR. ...

Wow. Talk about a disaster with a capital "W". Watching him handle the NY media would be quite cringey. ...
[quote]TAMU is in the SEC WEST. It sells itself. Jimbo will be just fine.[/quote] Plus, if that recruiting pitch doesn't work, AtM can just roll out it's flamboyant squad of white-clad merry minstrels to perform their aggie cheers. What recruit could say no to that impressive display?...

[quote]If we had prime Spurrier and prime Bob Stoops coaching the defense, I'd agree with you [/quote] Almost. I don't see a Danny Wuerffel type of player on the roster. Florida should win their share of games next year, but can't see them being in the title hunt. ...

re: Florida fan’s melt post on Mullen

Posted by Pax tecum on 12/30/20 at 11:06 pm
I'm no Florida fan and even I've been vexed by some of his mishandling of the program. Something just seems off about this guy. He's a good enough coach to keep them winning but not enough to be relevant in the championship discussion as Florida fans would like. What happened tonight with Trask's...

re: Blake Baker for DC?

Posted by Pax tecum on 12/29/20 at 10:15 am
Baker shouldn't be in the discussion for such a prestigious job in the SEC. To paraphrase Mr. Wing at the end of Gremlins... "He does not understand. He is not ready." ...
Hmm. Does that mean they should move Arik Gilbert to defensive end? ...
