B/S There isn’t a position group on this team that you would trade with another conference team?
I.e. you may take OUs qb room because Gabriel has a higher floor than Quinn and they still have a freshman 5 star.
So when you say buy, you are saying Texas has the best position group unit at every single position group in the Big 12, or am I understanding that question and your answer wrong? So our LB group is the best LB group in the conference, and our DL group is the best DL group in the conference? Surely you aren't suggesting that?

I think you could make a case for the TCU linebacker corp, but Ford is better than any of their starters, but they might have more depth.
That's one I thought long and hard about.
I'm not sure who has the best DL, so it made giving an answer on that one difficult.
His career might be cut short by injuries, and it might not be.
However, for however long his career ends up being, it will look nothing like Shawn Bradley's career on the court.
I'm just thinking that if Texas truly does have the best position group in the Big 12 at every single position, how do they not win every single conference game by 3 scores and roll through the conference undefeated without breaking a sweat? Every pre-game preview that Suchomel writes would have to give Texas the advantage in every single matchup.
You have to look at this from 30,000 feet.
I don't know that Ewers is the best quarterback in the conference, but would you trade him, let alone the entire quarterback room, for anyone else in the league?
Same at the running back position. There's probably player that we would rank as better than anyone on the Texas team going into the season, just based on proven play, but would you trade the entire Texas group for another school's running backs? Not off the top of my head.
Thank you. Thank you very much!! Just not even close to the same type of player. VW may or may not hold up but he has special talent.
Any disagreement would only be a minor quibble. I like Empire better (tallest giant) but Indy is a more iconic character (tallest giant).
Clear and Present us my fave of that early trilogy
Not sure if you’ve ever compared careers in the 90s but Ford & Hanks were pretty comparable in the prolificness of their respective careers. Then Ford was in string of steamy crap movies starting with Random Hearts while Hanks was in films like Green Mile which continues to present day

I was listening to a podcast this week that actually talked about that exact thing between Hanks and Ford.
To be somewhat fair, they had to deviate from the book because Harrison Ford is the star. Jack Ryan is not really the star of that book. Still annoying when a book you like very much is set on fire.
The two sites are quite different in a lot of ways.
Credit to them for generating excitement from their board to that single thread. I've given it some thought and I'm not sure if we had done the same, the results would have been the same.
Our audience is several things....
a. More of a football audience and a little less hell bent on following recruiting to the point that it wants to look at photos of kids on their visits.
b. Possibly a little older.
Add in the fact that this site has a much more active board with so many more topics that I'm not sure anyone is interested in just being in one thread. I don't mean for this to sound ugly, but it's a little like living in Austin vs. College Station.
On any given day on OB, there are countless topics and content pieces to explore and get lost in. Meanwhile in College Station, you're more than likely just going to eat at the Wings and More because what else is there to do? On a daily basis, we have more different kinds of threads and about various things by 9am than our competitors will have in an entire day.
Again, fantastic job this weekend by them. They seemed really proud and that's what you aim for. That being said, I was really, really pleased with the job we did, which was geared more towards our specific audience.
Every once in a while the universe just brings you and I together.

I feel like it has all offseason
Confession: I haven’t seen the new one. I’ve been too nostalgic about the old one.
The new one is pretty bad ass. Watch it with a good sound system.
I like the graphics and relevant info on the cards, I just need to be able to get through the article. I haven’t even attempted a Sunday Pulpit in months due to the videos at the end causing reloads. Just passing along - again, love the TTFTW column!
Baldwin. I haven't watched the Prime Video series so I can't include that guy, and I liked Baldwin better than Afleck.
