This young man demonstrated faith, wisdom, and heart that sadly not many of us possess. I’m afraid i don’t. But his words and action in a courtroom in Dallas, Texas today, may have been the most Christlike thing I have witnessed by a fellow human being in my time on this Earth. Sadly, some have politicized this and stated that he is simply a participant in allowing the system to further victimize people of color. In so doing, we are missing a message that was as powerful as any I have EVER heard. When I grow up, I want to be just like Brandt Jean...

I’m curious to see what restitution is ordered. Although it’s not like with the feds where they can just garnish wages. And over a 10 year period, short of “finding money” somewhere else, I can’t imagine it would put a dent in it. He can also serve up to 180 days in jail as a condition of probation. Knowing Judge Stevens, i wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen. Still, 2.5 mil for some probation and a 10k fine, I’m sure a lot of people would take that deal. Reminds me of the American Greeds my wife and I watch and she goes nuts when people defraud people out of 100s of millions of dollars sometimes and get like a 5 year sentence...

Yes that game was indeed an example of what trying to “leave the shadow” leads to. Arkansas has never been the same either and also been mediocre at best for the vast majority of seasons since they left the SWC. Hell even Nebraska showed today how well things have gone for them as well. All they did was cut themselves out of the Texas recruiting landscape. Brilliant. All aggy did was become an aggy joke in a different conference. A joke they very much aren’t in on 😂

I’m not sure. It’s been pretty clear both teams are dreadful all year. But only aggy could mortgage the farm, and become open enrollment, in order to pay $75 million for dreadful 😂😂. It may be the aggyest thing in the history of aggy.

We’re glad you took that overwhelming stench of mediocrity with you 💯

Looking past their only “rival.”

Gary is really, really good. I also really enjoy listening to Mike Sanchez. KOGT is also great to listen to with John Kimbrough doing color. He complements Gary well and having been a long time official in this area, knows the rule book backwards and forwards.

Well deserved. I’m sure Cornel will be joining him there. WOS has been blessed for many years having those two back to back.

If Sam weren’t such a potent runner, you know there would already be a Wildcat installed with Roschon taking the snaps... I still wouldn’t mind seeing one.

I would agree. Red River Rivalry isn’t a home game or away game. Literally as neutral as you can get. Neutral games deserve their own classification. Unless it’s like LSU playing a game in New Orleans. Then it might as well be a home game.

I think Auburn is a solid team and could get a lot better. There’s a big difference between playing a seasoned vet at LSU like Burrow and a freshman like Nix. I will say the kid appears to have a ton of heart but he looks like a freshman at times. Although I’m not sure he doesn’t look better at this stage than Sam did 2 years ago. He certainly makes less mistakes. But he’s not near where he needs to be for Auburn to win the SEC. If ends up as good as his dad was, he’s going to be a stud. But i will say Auburn has to be top 10 now based on their record including a win over a solid Oregon team.

I will take any win against these guys. Hopefully we can get healthy on the bye week.

I need a heart pill after that kick.

A buddy of mine texted me the following after Smith muffed one earlier: “How a human can make so many mistakes and earn 5 plus million a year I don’t know.....Brandon Jones, Brandon Jones, Brandon g&& d@@@@ Jones does not drop punts” I’ve let him hear about it.

This game is going to be a loss even if we win. We can’t afford to lose all these guys in already suspect secondary.

This Sanders kid is going to be a problem for the next few years.

Why would you go for 2 when that makes it a TD with a 2 pt conversion and a FG to tie if you don’t get it?

TD Shug!

I know everyone wants to score TDs but OSU has the lead if Gundy lets his automatic kicker kick FGs the last two possessions. In other news, not impressed with Epps.

Or maybe the 2 and a half if that’s where the ball was when his foot hit even with the 2 yd line. Either way...

That’s what I thought. Which would put ball at about the 2 where he stepped out. But even the replay guy in the booth was talking about where his body crossed out of bounds. So heck if I know.

I must not know the rule. I thought it was an easy first down on replay. I also thought the run is alive until you step out of bounds?

Mullet may want to stop trying to run around the edge on this defense.

You guys think conversations still go on in the Gundy household between Coach and his wife/kids about cutting off that mullet once and for all?

So is National HS POY Jake Smith. Really liking that kid.
