...And we have 2 of the Top 5 in the first half of our season, including #1.

During SEC Media Day's last week, my favorite answer a Coach gave was in response to the same old question, "Do you believe Texas has a chance of going pretty high this year?".. yes, that was the question.

Ole Miss Head Coach Lane Kiffin handled it like a pro and explained his answer differently than others who were asked that or similar questions, most noted the "depth and trenches" as a focal point, but not Lane. Kiffin explained "I mean ya, they were in the final four last year - they have a lot of players coming back and continue to add great high school and portal players, I think they are one of the elite rosters in America. I think Sark would know the challenges well, having coached in the SEC. That conference(Big 12) was competitive too, so he had tough games there and tough games on the road there, it's just different, the SEC is really challenging. - Study road records and study road records at night in the SEC and why do those percentages change? They change because there are really good players, and they are really hard places to play with electric atmospheres that are challenging to play in - when you come into this conference, you get that more."

Alabama has won the SEC Championship Game in 3 of the last 4 seasons, while Georgia has just one SEC Championship win, but two National Titles. Both are 10+ wins better overall in Conference play and 6+ wins better overall on the road. Lane Kiffin mentioned Road Night Games as a specific data point, it matters in the grand scheme, but my bigger takeaway is those Road Night Games against Ranked opponents. Very few are successful in that scenario, and only one team is at .500 or better, the Missouri Tigers, who have just 2 matchups (Loss at Florida in 2020, Win at Kentucky in 2023)

The LSU Tigers have had the MOST Ranked Night Road Games in the conference with 6, In 2023 the Tigers lost to Alabama and Ole Miss on the Road at Night. Arkansas had 5 such matchups over the last 4 seasons, with 2 coming in 2023 against Ole Miss and LSU, both resulting in Losses

Recently came across Don Diego Santa 100% Blue Agave Anejo - All I have to say is Wow, incredibly smooth with practically no bad bite at the end. Caramel flavor with a little pepper finish.

If you haven't tried it check it out!

We lose multiple guys to Oregon....OB loses its mind and implies Sark and staff have lost their recruiting touch.

Uncle Arch says NIL is THE reason major recruits are committing early, so to set the market and able to negotiate for more later. No reason to get too upset, way too early. OB says Uncle Arch has early dementia.

Some recruit flips from Oregon in late July and OB is in hysteria....lol. What a damn joke.

Lots of NIL flips will happen between now and December. Don't get too high or too low...long way to go. Uncle Arch is your OB counselor....no charge unlike Ketch....lol.

Thought this was a interesting read, and evidence based. I hope we can try to avoid the partisan attacks, but raises a good discussion

• China doesn’t need the dollar to trade because they are using CNY instead of USD.
• BRICS doesn’t need the dollar to save because they are buying gold instead of US bonds.
• Russia doesn’t need the dollar to live because they are the fourth largest economy after being shut out of the US economy.
• Yet the US needs as much of the world as possible to accept the dollar, as it’s borrowing at levels beyond COVID, beyond WW2, beyond any empire in history.

I never realized that even with the sanctions - we haven't really hampered Russia's economy effectively and they are now the fourth largest in the world

up against a foreign leader. Say an adversarial type. Let’s leave the policy question out of the equation.

Who you sending to get it done?


LBJ always struck me as an ass kicker. Teddy Roosevelt too.

Our @Sunny Nelson was on the scene today and Jonah Williams told her that Texas was in his top three.

In addition, Williams told her he had the opportunity to visit with Texas baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle.

Also mentioned that meeting with Sark was the highlight of the visit.

What cereals have the eaten the most in your lifetime?

1) Frosted Flakes
2) Honey Nut Cheerios
3) Frosted Mini Wheats

Don’t bother with unobtainable brands like Fortaleza. What are your favorites you can reliably score?

My local guy carries G4 reposado, and it’s hard to beat.

Based on my first season of ncaa 25, I think I have a pretty good feel for how our season will play out.

We will win most game by about 80pts

Ewers will throw for 95tds and one int.

We will only run about 6 different plays.

We finish with the top three in heisman, but if we leave auto-recruit on we don’t finish in the top 20 classes.

We lose to Kentucky because our coach sims that week by mistake.

Idiot runs her mouth and jeopardizes hostage and ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. What are we, two days into her being a candidate? And liberals want this as their world leader?

Coordinated arson attacks on 3 trainlines. Shutting down transportation.

Thankfully nobody hurt.

Sadly this is not surprising. They really are the enemy of the people.
