No idea why this was downvoted as it is 100 percent accurate. I have seen every game both Texas and LSU have played the last several years. I love Tre and wish him the best and wish we could keep him. But we have better players coming in and he can get more money elsewhere. Truly wish him nothing but the best.

Also - Durham and Berry have more upside than Tre. There is a reason they were more highly recruited. I bet you see a lot better production from both next year with better coaching and OL play.

Hasn’t been the same since his last concussion. IMO he should retire as it’s idiotic to risk further damage. But even at a reduced level of play he is still better than what a lot of teams are trotting out on the field. I don’t know how to make the numbers work, but I could see KC bringing him in to start the season assuming Mahomes is out for the first several games. Indianapolis as well. Needs to be a team with other pieces in place. I’m a Texas homer but thought Quinn got a bad rap and could be a productive QB in the league and to me looked better yesterday than Tua has most of the year.

I picture Irvin getting pulled over on Highway 6 on the way out yesterday like Bronson Pinchot got pulled over on the PCH in True Romance.

Dude - in addition to being one of the worst posters on this board (quite an accomplishment, given the competition), your and the broader Notre Dame fanbase’s complete lack of self-awareness is…something. That a good school with I’m quite sure accomplished alumni in PR/communications, the continued own goals here are impressive to witness.

Boo-hoo you didn’t make the playoffs. Maybe beat the teams that are there and play a better schedule. I have no doubt that ND was one of the 12 best teams in the country, but y’all got fricked by a system your own AD had a significant role in designing. Oh - the irony. And Texas was one of the 12 best teams left but I’m not gonna bitch because we lost 3 game so shame on us.

In short - frick off and do some reflection on why the rest of CFB - including some that agree that ND should have been in and are in some cases sympathetic if not supportive of your program - think you come off as massive pussies.

Flood is the biggest mystery on staff to me - even moreso than Sark's stubbornness in hiring a true OC. His lines were lights out at Bama, but with even mediocre OL play this year we are 12-1 and in the playoffs (we win OSU and FL with even a semblance of execution there).

I was SHOCKED when the texts starting coming in about this while on work calls. Mainly because Kwiatkowski did a good job (Akina was the man in his prime, but game passed him by so not surprised by that decision). But Muschamp is an elite DC. He's not HC material but that's not what we hired him for so I am cautiously optimistic. He did an A+ job the last time he coached the Horns.

Well, he's a much better NFL player than either of them. I'll give you injuries on Bo, but Herschel lacked lateral mobility and got by as a strictly north and south runner that bowled over smaller opponents in college. He also played in a much less competitive era for the SEC.Will be an unpopular opinion on this board and I obviously can't denigrate his college career as he is an all-time great at that level, but Herschel doesn't crack my top 100 running back list all-time and even if looking at power backs, he pales in comparison to Derrick, Earl, Marshawn, Eddie George and many others who were far more versatile and athletic.

Hate, hate to agree with you because I am a 7th generation Dallasite, love the Cowboys, and loved Emmitt as a player- but kind of a dick in person and this is coming from a fan.

Biggest dick (likely a surprise to most): Grant Hill

Nicest, coolest, cannot say enough good things about him - Earl Campbell. Close second is Drew Pearson - gave me a Super Bowl ring, let me wear it for a couple of hours at a party, took pics, great guy.

Also really nice albeit reserved - Tim Duncan

Seeing the ending of the Saint Charles - Shaw game made me think of the craziest playoff game in Texas high school football history, 1994 semifinal between Tyler John Tyler and Plano East. Beyond the crazy story lines (abridged and fuller context versions pasted below), the sheer homerism of the Plano announcers is perfect for the situation. I was rooting for Tyler so happy for the outcome but what a comeback this was.

Good question - a few reasons. My son was HS Class of 2021 and was really fricked by COVID (went to Woodrow). He was in IB but a late bloomer academically and kind of did the bare minimum to get good grades (but not top 6%). Applied to OU, KS, LSU, and Texas - got into to first 3 with lots of scholarship money to the first two. But he just wasn’t enthusiastic about college until he visited LSU with a Jesuit buddy and as soon as he returned from that trip we knew that’s where he would end up. I was so impressed with OU that I both called and wrote our admissions contact to thank them and to this day encourage families to look at the school. For lack of a better way to express it, they seemed to truly care about the kids more than any school we’ve dealt with before or since. Also - I went to Saint Mark’s and David Boren’s daughter was a boarder at Hockaday when I was there and I was really impressed with what he did as college president. And my grandfather played OL for OU in the leather helmet days, so while I still hate y’all for one day in October each year I don’t hate y’all as much as a lot of Texas fans.

My daughter is HS class of 2023 and I always thought she would end up at Texas. Should have but didn’t get in, and I didn’t want to do the CAP program (provisional admission with a lot of restrictions). Really thought she’d go to Colorado (admitted with scholarship) but she is close to her brother and wanted an SEC environment even more than skiing. She’s in the Honors College and fortunately did get a generous scholarship (thankfully since OOS tuition ain’t cheap). LSU is certainly not perfect but like most SEC schools the academics are getting better, was very satisfied with my son’s upper division courses (finance major, works in the investment group at Bank of America), and very happy with the Honors College (great teachers, small classes). We also love Louisiana culture and had a lot of friends from New Orleans and South Louisiana.

Sorry for the TL:DR - college decisions are tough. Good luck against Bama.
