6 week layoff feels like the offseason. I've already broken down the Oklahoma film and sent my report to the coaches.

You forgot to mention that Clay Matthews is on PEDs... Best friends with Brian Cushing (tested positive) at USC and walked on at 180lbs and didn't do shite until he exploded his senior season.

No amount of recruiting violations or Nigerian senators will prevent Luke Matthews from becoming an Aggie.

I didn't know that Tennessee was Punter University. Forget everything I said about Vanderbilt being the flagship of that state.
