But we’re doing scoreboard? They flipped a QB that we didn’t need. Landing your class’s QB one month before ESD is not > landing one the previous summer. We flip Ramil and I could give a crap about Mauigoa.

Josh Pate is the only sports media guy I listen to on a regular basis. Others, I just dont care what they think or say. But, I wish he hadnt said that at this point.

He may not have meant any changes of any consequence, but even so we'll speculate this sucker and pretty soon we'll have half our staff being replaced.

I watched it, and nothing he said gave me the impression that he was looking to make changes.

I know this cycle isn’t over yet but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that we haven’t parlayed our success on the field into recruiting. We’d have the same class as it stands now if we were 7-5/8-4. We’re about to finish 11-1 with a likely playoff berth and these national 5 star guys that we need to keep this train rolling at its current trajectory just aren’t that interested for whatever reason. I don’t know if it’s NIL, coaching relationships, or just the general feeling that we have been so far down that this has to be a one hit wonder. Most SEC programs with our resources and on field success would make a huge recruiting jump into the top 5.

I love everything about this coaching staff and administration. They’ve done an unbelievable job this year. But we always said we were caught in the middle. Not good enough on the field to recruit at the top and not good enough at recruiting to compete on the field at the top. We always said we needed that one overachieving year for recruiting to get rolling. Well it’s here but recruiting isn’t following suit. Not saying our recruiting is bad, it’s just a pretty standard year for UT and hasn’t been bumped with the on field product.

I know we spoke about my old girl Charlotte the horse recently........ She is on her second round of antibiotics. She is doing very well and responding better than we imagined. No swelling and she will be able to keep her eye, though she will never see out of it again.

From what I gather, some of it is changes in recruiting. Most players have committed prior to the season now so it really impacts 2024 class more than 2023 class.

We have a decent recruiting class and perhaps some of our prospects are underrated but we are definitely not scaring Alabama or Georgia with this class. I think it stacks up well against almost everyone else. (LSU is sneaking up a little).

I don't understand how we are losing players to Miami and why we cannot flip them back. Frankly, we should be trying to flip these guys going to Miami and Texas A&M since both are crap shows right now and the recruits are wavering.
