An icon? No... but he did think he was the son of god. In that vague, syncretistic way that most pan-hellenic leaders did.

Has that kid hit 7-foot yet? Holy cow!

Construction update Maverick Stadium Marshall
Mr. P replied to Mavchamp's topic in High School Sports
I continue to be impressed with how the taxpayers of Marshall ISD have reinvested in their kids, and the administration continues to take these facilities to the next level. -
I'm trying very hard to take a "bear market" outlook of Tatum because I'm never gonna be able to not look at him through Lobo green glasses (I think Haynes deserved Heisman votes), so I'm gonna lean hard into typical cliches like "he's still young, needs to mature, get used to the speed of the game," etc. and etc. But yeah, I feel you. I think he's RB1 material right now. Sawchuck don't impress me. I think Tatum and/or Robinson have just as much a shot at getting quality snaps as the incumbent(s).

Ah, gotcha... yeah, I dunno. From the outside, I don't really know what MLB money is compared to RB money in the NFL (especially with how the league seems to be phasing out the position). So sticking with baseball could be the wise long-term decision. However, on the other hand, Tatum hasn't exactly been a dominant baseball player for the Lobos. I love the kid, and I love that he's finishing out his baseball career for Longview, but I don't know that the MLB hype is quite there. Our baseball program has improved significantly thanks to the hard work of Coach Goldman, his staff, our baseball families, and our great kiddos. But I just don't know enough about the nuances of professional baseball to say what kinda prospect he is. Now, from the perspective of the few OU insiders I'm still in touch with: there's a feeling that Tatum will get quality RB snaps as a true freshman, including the possibility of lining up in the slot. There's a lot of excitement about his versatility and skill set. So, y'know... there's that.

Or as my Dad said it when I told him I was majoring in Philosophy, "It's a great way to have a career where you think deep thoughts about being unemployed."

DeBoer replaces retired legend Nick Saban at Alabama
Mr. P replied to Sportsfanatic1's topic in College Football/Sports
Since it's a private school they could pay him a crazy amount (for his experience) and not have to disclose it. If I'm a BU regent, I'll tell the AD to make it happen. -
With so much talent hitting college football’s free agency in the last six weeks, On3 decided to crunch some numbers to quantify the amount of top-100 prospects who have hit the portal in the last three recruiting cycles. We are very rapidly approaching the tipping point where recruiting your own players is literally half of your recruiting responsibility.

I have not yet issued a public statement at this time. -

Lol... -
Well, anything's possible, I guess... but outside of being a very high pick, I don't think it's likely. I mean, Kyler was a Top 10 MLB pick, and he still stuck with football. Taylor doesn't strike me as someone chasing a big payday, or in a hurry to play pro ball. But of course, anything's possible.

Go that route? How do you mean? He's already committed to the Sooner baseball program.

Competitive depth at QB. It's gonna be important with a youngster at QB1.

DeBoer replaces retired legend Nick Saban at Alabama

Speaking of madness and chaos, just imagine this... 1.) Saban retires. 2.) Kirby Smart goes to Alabama. 3.) Jim Harbaugh goes to (insert NFL team here). So now you've got three Top 5 programs who are looking for new HCs. Who do they hire? And how do those programs replace the guys that Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan hired away? -

Oh, this is too easy. Ya gotta go with Joey Freshwater himself: Lane Kiffin... In the short term: with his playcalling aptitude, he's almost certain to win right away. In the long term: if he doesn't work out, he recruits well enough to stock the cupboard for the next guy. -
Poor widdle Garrison, playing down in peewee league.

ESPN Capital One Bowl Challenge on the Smoakhouse Forums
Mr. P replied to RETIREDFAN1's topic in College Football/Sports
In three years I've gone from 18th, to 11th, to 7th. Eventually I'll get this figured out. -
They've got OU at #15... which is fair, all things considered.

Official 2023-24 NCAA Football Championship Thread
Mr. P replied to Coach Rab's topic in College Football/Sports
Nah. It's because Washington decided to play poorly. That's the only reason. Michigan had nothing to do with Washington's struggles. It was purely self-inflicted on the Huskies part. Michigan did nothing. They got nothing. Most overrated team in college football. -
Aren't they losing a bunch? Not saying they don't have depth, but it seems odd to suggest losing so many weapons will make them somehow better, especially since they'll be competing in a tougher league.
