It means that Mr. Garrison's theory of evolution describes how the OP came to be.

Didn't Foster enter the transfer portal

He did, but since he had no takers he elected to remain, opt out, and keep his scholarship. If I knew I wouldn't play, I would likely do the same thing. Very smart and mature decision on his part.

James Foster was #3 all year. Calzada was a true freshman and the #2 QB. If he had played in the LSU game he would have lost his redshirt. Foster played instead simply to save Calzada's redshirt. Not calling you a liar, just ignorant of the facts.

That's a good decision for Foster to opt out. It may not be that easy to actually transfer these days.

Hurts more losing those 3 guys on the OL due to career ending injuries. They were all backups, which means we might have a freshman or two in backup spots now. Starters gotta stay healthy on the OL.

This is not good for that QB room. Likely a very toxic environment amplified by the starter being racist (and believes everyone around him is one as well).

Doubt they win more than 6 games in that poisonous culture.

Well, let's examine that.

Likely 2020 Depth Chart (returning starters in bold, returning lettermen in italics)

LT - Kenyon Green (SO), Blake Trainor (RSFR)
LG - Dan Moore (SR), Luke Matthews (RSSO)
C - Ryan McCollum (RSSR), Layden Robinson (RSFR)
RG - Jared Hocker (SR), Chris Morris (FR)
RT - Carson Green (SR), Josh Bankhead (FR)

Had Ryan McCollum not gotten hurt last fall, he'd also be a returning starter and we would not have attempted the failed Colton Prater experiment again. Blanton never played a snap, Clement played maybe 4 last season and Anderson has played fewer than 10 snaps in 4 years. Tank Jenkins MIGHT have cracked the 2-deep had he not transferred. The only reason Morris and Bankhead are on the depth chart is because they were here in the Spring. Aki Ogunbiyi might crack the 2-deep, but Smart Chibuzo and Jordan Jefferson absolutely must redshirt.

He pulled out and was back on the team.

Named the #2 QB (per Jimbo) a few weeks back. Many fans wanted him #1 though.

If he is a star qb why the reference to the scholarship numbers? Not like he is some scrub walk on.

He's a scrub. At least third or fourth string right now, and A&M fans have known about this for awhile

What on Earth are you smoking? Mond, Calzada, and King all in front of him

OP the only reason Foster got a single snap last season is because Calzada redshirt.

You are wasting your time attempting to stir shite.

There’s a reason Calzoni redshirted and Foster didn’t.

(Foster was better)
