Texas A&M just got another 4* WR. That offense is going to set records in the next few years.

SEC comeup in recruiting is real

 

[The ADD]

we gave them GA Southern as an automatic W too

Anyone started looking at games they want to attend?? I really want to go to Arlington for the KO CLassic but I'm suppose to be going to f'n Dayton, OH for some mandatory work shyt....so far I'm looking at

Aug 30th: UCLA v UVA
Sep 27th: FSU v NCST
Oct 4th: UF v Tenn (doable but not sure), Va Tech v UNC (most likely)
Oct 11th: Ole Miss v aTm (Might as well since I'll be in Texas for most of October)
Oct 18th: Iowa St v Texas
Nov 8th: UVA v FSU (maybe)

Ole Miss vs Boise St
Bama vs. WVU
SEC Champion (if I care about the match-up)
Peach Bowl

Doubt anything beyond that, my old arse hates traveling to games now.

[Tide Run This]

I'm hit up that Nebraska at Fresno game and probably go to the ND/USC game at the Coliseum as long as the UF-FSU gametime isnt conflicting.

EDIT wanna watch Oregon at UCLA as well

How OU look at WR/TE




EDIT Big 12 is The loss of Mizzou, A&M and Nebraska has hurt the conference as far as having more than 2 NC contenders. Kansas St is Texas is wait and see I see Okie St taking a step back they lost too much. TCU and West Virginia aren't built for this big conference shyt. Texas Tech is Texas Tech they can beat a top 15 one week then lose to Kansas the following week. Iowa State and Kansas are as generic as generic can be (How the fukk did Kansas get to #2 in 2007 )

 

[RammerJammer]

Texas A&M won by moving from under the belt of UT, Sumlin trying to build a offense like Florida in the 90s, setting records and shyt I still wish SEC would've got Clemson, Miami, or Florida State instead of Missouri.

James Franklin finding a loophole in NCAA rule and holding Football camps in Atlanta. Before you know it every coaching staff gonna be holding camps in Texas

Both positions have a lot of unproven talent that everyone hopes steps up this season. Our leading TE from last year, Taylor McNamara, returns. He was serviceable only because our OC didn't use TE's much. In addition, we've got Blake Bell, Connor Knight(Trevor's brother), JUCO transfer Issac Ijalana(brother of Ben Ijalana) and top rated freshman TE Carson Meier. We look good for the future.

As for the WR, that may be a bit more of a question mark. Sterling Shepard is the only starting returning WR from last season. No other receivers on the roster has a TD. As of right now, Sterling Shepard, Jordan Smallwood, Dannon Cavil, Durron Neal & Derrick Woods will most likely see most of the playing time this season. The WR competition is gonna be really deep. I'm sure Michiah Quick is gonna be worked into the rotation. Lastly, we got 3 6'5 beasts this season that may not be kept off the field: Jeffery Mead, Mark Andrews and Dallis Todd.

I think the Big XII is gonna be a lot stronger than people think. A lot of offenses with experienced QB returning. The defenses are underrated.

OSU - Yeah, they lost a bunch but Gundy seems to find blood from a stone. They may or may not fall off. I'm not saying that OSU will beat FSU but they need to be about their business. O-State always starts the season strong and then tails off. Gundy and his staff blows a lot a games though. That is their problem.

TCU - Needs a QB... Not sure if they have one but that are really close to having a well-rounded team. LSU would have lost last season if TCU would have had one. TCU's defense is always nasty.

KSU - Should never be overlooked as long as Bill Snyder is the coach. Michigan found out the hard way and Gus Malzahn may soon find out. Tough blue collar team that always plays assignment-sound football and gives OU fits. Their offense this season should be a good as it's ever been. That's a problem.

ISU - Another blue-collar team that may have turned the corner with hiring Mark Mangino as OC. I think they will make it to a bowl game this season, along with beating their rival Iowa(soundly) and upsetting a few conference foes(hopefully, not OU).

Tech - Yeah, Tech is Tech but I believe they have turned the corner as well. Always comes good when derailing a team's season. Their defense is coming along.

Texas Tech had a underrated tale of two halves season last year, started 7-0 and lost the rest of their games (besides the bowl game). Speaking of 2007, can't believe Missouri and West Virginia were ranked #1

Tech is on the come up,Klingsbury been recrutign very well he gets the mothers panties wet and gets their son to go there

He already got Sitndham as their future qb hes a beast and hell get alot of top wrs to go there

I think in the next few years Tech will make a Baylor like leap and become a powerhouse offensively

The were under Leach but i think Klingsbury has the ability to get more talented players

 

[Brady-Carter]

So I have spent the past couple months, off and on reading up on Gus Malzahn. This guy might be a legit, for lack of a better word, genius when it comes to football

At least when it comes to offence. Dude is Kelly esc...
