Since this whole situation has come up, I have felt that it wasn't about them
giving a Pickett number 5, it's just that he wanted to be in on the passing of the number to an outstanding player like Pickett. Kind of like we do with number 8 in baseball, where the current number 8 passes it on to the next player to wear it.
I do not hold him not playing in the non major bowl game against him. I actually liked the way it gave Nuss the opportunity to get a real game under his belt and that JD actually was on the sideline encouraging him was something most players don't do. In situations like that, I prefer next years starter to get the reps, but do like the outgoing player to show up at the game and either don't play at all or just a few series.
He seems less obnoxious because he is no longer riding Saban's pecker.

It's great that he throws a good ball, but I am far more interested in how well he can read defenses. We have had numerous QB's that threw the ball very well, but only a very few that could really read defenses.

Brooks was probably a little better, but hard to compare because Brooks
was on the outside and was so powerful. Whit played the middle, but was a true sideline to sideline linebacker, that made plays all over the field

Still trying to figure our how Bo Pellinins screwed up as good a players
as Clark. He went from a very promising freshman to a complete liability as a sophomore, then to an all American as a junior
I don't think it gets overturned because the receiver wasn't in the end zone before Reid stole the ball from him. Had the play been just a couple of yards farther, with feet in the end zone, it would have been a touchdown

re: any chance guidry comes back?

Posted by TigerDM on 7/14/26 at 8:30 am to
Guidry will benefit greatly from being able to throw a certain number of
pitches per outing without being pulled. He has the stuff, but lacks the control which leads to walks or throws down the middle which are often homers.

The minor leagues are more about development instead of winning.
Here, we have to win games which leads to quick hooks. In the minors. ,
if they decide he’s going to throw 50;pitches, it doesn’t matter how many walks or homers he gives up, he’s throwing 50 pitches. Hopefully he can
improve his control and have a good career
The 2019 team would win pretty easily by wearing down the 2011 defense. While the 2011 defense was fantastic would hold their own against the 2019, the 2011 offense depended heavily on turnovers and Burrows didn't turn the ball over. Despite a mediocre defense in 2019, the 2011offense was pretty mediocre too and wouldn't have been able to sustain the long drives they would need to. This would also put the 2011 defense trying to stop Burrow and Co on a short field
Looking for jumps in all 3. Pearson greatly improved defensively.
Ruckert and Patrick didn't hit great last year, but didn't look overmatched
at the plate. Typically players like this show great improvement in their second year.

Numerous times in the past there have been players that took big steps and went from a player that didn't look like they had a spot in the lineup to being a main contributor. Unfortunately we have had players that have done the opposite, so you never know.
QB evaluation is about the most inaccurate of any position.
All you have to do is look at the last 15 years of the elite 11.
The NFL should be full of these guys from 15 to 4 years ago,
but it’s the opposite. For every top QB, there’s 5 that you don’t
even recognize their name.

Top rated QB’s tend to be the guys with the measurables and play
at the top high schools where their teams have a significant size and
speed advantage over their opponents.

re: Jack Hunt reel

Posted by TigerDM on 7/9/26 at 8:50 am to
While I never considered Jack Hunt to be anything more than borderline SEC talent whise, our defense was signigicantly better when he was on the field.
He called the plays on defense and was very good at having us in the best formation, if a change needed to be made, after making the pre snap read

re: Verge Ausberry defends Will Wade

Posted by TigerDM on 7/8/26 at 11:11 am to
While the majority of the people thought Verge was only here
because of his loyalty and not so much his talent. Turns out this
loyalty actually caused him to be overlooked because he did so much
without seeking the credit or attention

I sure hope our catcher take a big jump defensively over the summer.
While our pitchers were pretty wild, it didn't help all the passed balls and many wild pitches that should have at least been blocked.
While I don't think that Texas turned off the AC, what actually happened was as bad or worse. My friends son played for LA Tech and they played there the week before us. The locker room was so poorly insulated and it was extremely hot, that even with the AC turned all the way down, it was very hot. Texas knew this, it was even hotter the day of our game and we were going to have many more people in the room than LA Tech did and Texas didn't bring in extra AC units to help cool the locker room down.

As far as the visitor seating, I remember when A & M joined the conference, the SEC made them give the visiting team 1000 tickets in the lower bowl.
They had wanted to wait till there upgrade was finished the next year becasue they didn't have that requirement in the Big 12 and the SEC wouldn't budge.
From what I remember, LSU staff thought he was healthy when he obviously wasn’t. Every time they put him in a game, he had a setback.
Sure there was lots of frustration on both side about the inability to diagnose/sove his injury. Glad he has finally gotten healthy and showing the great ability he has
As a whole and not just limited to us, juniors with a first round draft grade
seem to suffer from "nagging injuries" in their last season of college football.
Very often for us these have been the recepients of the number 7.
Devon White is the only player we have had that had a first round grade and was significantly better his last year. Peterson and Campbell maintained their all american level and some others played well, just not quite as good as their sophmore seasons.

This will be a big boost for his confidence to shoot a good score in the 4th round. He will get a boost/bonus from his existing sponsorsfor his high finish and will set him up to get new sponsorship.
I think we are blaming Beth for lack of NIL funds situation. Softball has very
limited earning potential after college, so you really can't blame them for chasing the bag to get what they can get when they can get it.

With the popularity of our gymanstics and woman's basketball teams, softball lags far behind in support of women's sports and we will have a problem retaining good players from transferring to teams that will pay them significantly more NIL money

It definately got in Georgia's head when they kept having long fly outs that wouldh have been homers at their home field. They were out homered by most of the teams in CWS despite being the home run leader for the season by a large margin.
I fully believe that both conferences will expand to about 24 teams and their champions will meet for national championships like in the major pro sports.
Probably 3/4 games within your conference with the other 1/4 against Big 10 schools.
