There are reports of cyber attacks on 2 large Ukrainian banks and the Ukrainian defenses. If this is Russia, it is the predicted prelude, followed by air attacks on commands and control before the tanks roll in.

SIAP. This is good news. Let’s how the team does in Brooklyn.

Not a lot of talk on this board about them… for good reason, sucked as for a while now…. however seemed to have looks pretty decent so far in preseason.

What are the expectations this year? Do you think Green will finally click or be traded at the deadline? I’m excited to see what Amen can do this year and if he can develop a jump shot. I know there’s not a ton of fans on the board, but there are some knowledgeable ones. I’m just trying to get an idea of the overall outlook for them this season.

We'll check around to see if this means anything, but we've been told that Texas commitment Nick Townsend was at the Texas A&M game last night in College Station.

So random, but for Xmas gifting I’ve got one who’s cooking a lot more lately, but needs one of those products you see on late night tv and home shopping channels to chop vegetables, etc. more quickly.

Anyone got any that you use and like that would make a good gift?

Good luck with that musky boy.

Why is he so good now? What’s he doing that he didn’t do here?

For one I see his teams actually make 3s now. But what else?

Players to Watch for Kentucky

• #6 Dane Key, WR and #7 Barion Brown, WR - 1 Thing: While Brown has dealt with injuries this year and disappointment compared to expectations at Kentucky over the last two years. In the three big games this year (@ Tennessee, @ Ole Miss and Georgia), both Key and Brown have played and combined for 24 receptions, 322 yards, and 1 touchdown. Both are plus-size receivers with great speed and pose matchup problems for Malik Muhammed, predominantly if Brown and his 4.3 speed is near 100% health.

• #0 Deone Walker, DL - 1 Thing: Listed a 6-6 345 lbs, Walker entered the season as a near consensus preseason first-team All-American and consensus top-10 NFL draft. While the statistics haven't shown up for Walker this year quite like they did during his sophomore season, he seems to have slimmed up a bit while demanding double and triple teams on a snap-by-snap basis, allowing teammates to create pressures and impact the game. The Biggest thing with Walker is his athleticism at 345 lbs, it's rare at the defensive tackle position.

Some Mark Stoops Comments on Texas during Tuesday Press Conference

Q: Do you take anything from Akransas playing Texas really well on Saturday? can you identify any weaknesses on this team?
A: "The eye test, they are as strong as anyone in the country. Tell me one group? Dynamic play-caller, great coach - OL is completely solid - RB, two great ones.. maybe more, probably four. WR Room is arguably the best in the country. Dynamic Tight End, Tight Ends. Defensively the front four, they lost some guys who are pros, and replaced them in the portal with pros, really deep and really big. I'd say arguably again, the best secondary in the country, bar none. When you put all that together, pretty solid team."

Q: Characteristics of a Sarkisian Team
A: "Creative, Creative - eye candy is term used a lot across the country. He does a great job of marrying the run and the pass. And then a fantastic job in the screen game off of that. So you're thinking run, you're thinking pass, come back to a screen, he ties it together as good as anybody."

Q: Growing up, any memory of Texas?
A: "No not as a kid, but when Bob got to Oklahoma, I guess from 1999 on, with that rivalry, I guess you could say the Stoops family was pretty dialed into that game and I guess that's when I really started watching them closely."

Q: What is the status on D'Eryk Jackson?
A: "Ya it's very disappointing that he had to have season-ending surgery, so we will have discussions with him after that."
Note: Jackson is 6th in tackles and 2nd in Passes Deflected in 2024.

This is only the SECOND match-up between Texas and Kentucky. The first match-up took place on September 22nd, 1951.

11. Texas won 7-6 in Austin against a Bear Bryant-led Kentucky team, after a botched extra-point attempt.

2) As above, I will be in town for the weekend and looking to attend my first-ever Longhorn game. I don't need good seats, but if anyone has a cheap pair (2) or a pair they don't plan on using, please let me know!

Let's have a great end of the week 🤘

Ketch is right. Context does matter.

Context includes last season, which saw a signature performance in Tuscaloosa, hoisting the Final B12 trophy following a ridiculously good performance and coming up just short of a national title game appearance, which had more to do with fumbles than with Quinn.

This season, Quinn leads a squad sitting at #3 and atop the SEC SEC. He was exceptional against a good and fired up Michigan defense in a raucous environment with the nation watching. Injured later. Seemed to be back to his badass self against Florida, then Pig.

Think about Pig more closely. I was there. While Quinn left a lot to be desired early, context matters here as well. When the chips were down - when that very loud stadium was at peak squeal, Quinn manned up, let ‘em hang and won the damn game with a drive and an absolute dime to Golden. That’s what winners do.

Bitch and moan about Quinn if you want.
Viewed in the full context of this two year run at or near the top of college football, I see Quinn as a stud who is afraid of nothing and who comes through when the chips are down. Those qualities will serve his team well as we enter the most interesting, high stakes series of games Texas has seen - maybe ever. I, for one, am glad to have Quinn Ewers at the helm.

are you waiting for a serious correction or do you see value?

Could that be legit? I’m highly skeptical hippo

Tuck it and run more often. His pocket awareness at this point is what it is and as Alex just pointed out when he’s getting off his first read he’s having trouble.

I know he doesn’t want to risk injury but I can almost guarantee the slightest threat of him tucking 5-6 times in a half for 8-9 yards will change the way teams are blitzing and scheming.

He’s had some tremendous success running in years past. Keeps the defense humble. That’s at least my hope for college station.

Play it like a game 7 and play to win every down.

Hey Mr. President. Uh….Joe…hello?

You spent 3 years insisting you couldn’t do anything to stop the flow. Swore up and down. Put us Dems out there to defend it. We did.

Let 80 gazillion migrants in.

Pissed off the American public.

Then way late in the game you decide maybe I can do something. So you did what Trump was saying should have been done all along. Made those of us defending you look like idiots.

And Donald Trump won the election anyway because you pissed off the voters.

Hey Joe?

Go **** yourself.

It’s that time of year again where we gird our loins and get ready for another Stars season. They have what it takes to win it all, but so do a small group of other teams. We defeated Vegas and Colorado in the first two rounds of the Western Conference playoffs before falling 4 games to 2 to West winner Edmonton (Florida lifted their first Stanley Cup…the famous trophy, not the “Stanley cup” that your significant other, daughter or sister drink out of LOL).

All fans of the great game are welcome, but just know this is primarily for Stars talk. Preseason starts 21 September against the Blues. The regular season starts on 10 October in Nashville against the Predators. Games will be on the Victory + app for the first time (no more Bally Sports). Let’s go Stars!

Michael Irvin sure thinks so. He's probably the only one who can deal with Jerrah.

A friend of mine has two anm tickets that he can't use.

Section 411, Row 37, Seats 27 and 28.

$750 per seat.
