JAllen posted it.

True or not, disappointing to come drop that in here and give us no explanation after the fact at all.

I'm sure I'm missing something but he gave the no to a direct question about Tate. There is I guess in theory still other WRs that could enter from OSU and ND we would want to bring in.

And yet, you’re here and not on a coaching staff. Odd.

You have got to be kidding. Look at the Bamas, Georgias, Clemsons and Ohio States. I mean even a 5 year old can see it. An elite coaching staff full of recruiters and developers. Rosters full of highly ranked players. That’s the formula. Good grief.

You just keep assuming Pregnon is some kind of elite dude. What if he isn’t?

You have a brain right? Use it.

There’s a reason Pregnon was a top 3 OL in the portal….twice.

There’s a reason why he has draft grades.

Before you get smart and say “wHy iSn’T hE gOiNg pRo tHeN” again, use your head.

Well, that’s great. Didn’t get to see it from him.

He was mostly a backup behind Rocco. He did start a few games this season, like I said, he’s alright.

ND OL was big, physical and more talented than ours. I dont know much, but when 6'6" 320 pulls off RT, and QB score behind big guy, that's good.

I have done absolutely zero research here but, anyone who has experience a G position will be able to help us. It's sorta been that way at T of late.

Throw the money at Tate. Make him your number one option.

What bothers me is that we are talking about taking OSUs #3 and "making him our #1 WR".....and paying crazy money to do it. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a legit #1 talent wise instead of just applying the label? Does anyone think calling Tate a #1 and overpaying him will translate to the field in the SEC? Not saying he's not an upgrade, but is that all that difficult given the talent we depended upon last season? Let's not think Tate is the second coming of Jerry Rice here....or even our own Jennings.

I always say, 'pretend you're talking to a five year old.' And typically people explain things to me so it makes sense. 😆 That's of course after my wife, 10, 8, and then 6 yo break it down for me!

Deductive reasoning is the lost City of Atlantis. Rare as a ruby. Innuendo might as well be a pile of junk, on scrap heap.

Been saying this about Hartline for awhile. Make him a huge offer. Give him the OC/WR coach position. Make him the highest paid OC. Elite recruiter and developer of talent. I know what some will say “lol he ain’t leaving OSU.” What’s wrong with trying to get him? Oh and in case we all forget, Saban wasn’t taking the Bama job remember? Money talks.

At first glance, this seems like a pipe dream, but when you consider the atmosphere around Day and OSU after Michigan, I think he'd be ripe for the picking...if he wants to stay in college ball. If I'm Day, I'm looking for a ticket out of town. Wouldn't be surprised to see him bolt for an NFL job if offered. Question being would he take Hartline with him? Might be a good time for UT to test the waters and try to snag him. Then again Heypel is married to his offense and I'm not sure how those two would mesh.

Do you like anything about the football program? All of your posts seem to be extremely negative. You act like we are a 4 win program.

We have other guys who can be, or who are equally as talented to be #1.

All that glitters, is not gold. Or some such.

I’m 10+ pages behind, so forgive me, but if Notre Dame doesn’t want to join a conference, thus getting to hand pick their opponent each year, then they can be no higher than 8-10 seed. Don’t like join a conference. I’m sick and tired of bowing to their demands.

Better get used to that sort of entitled attitude. Wait until you really get to know Texas and those deep pockets. After living near Norman, I came to understand why OU, aTm and others wanted separation. We'll grow to regret letting that bunch into the league.
