The Best That Money Can’t Buy

How are things going right now in Texas?

Firstly…

But, wait, there’s more…

And…

Meanwhile, the odds of Archduke Manning winning the Heisman, or anything of significance for that matter, are dropping by the day.

Look, it’s not like any one out there is really believing that Sark is a top flight coach and has his collective shit together. It’s been apparent for a while that he doesn’t.

What is becoming grossly apparent is that all the money in the world doesn’t guarantee anything, and it’s still very possible to take a $40+ million dollar roster and turn them into Auburn with a lack of team management skills.

And he still calls the offensive plays.

While we lament Bobo and wonder about Kirby’s dedication to quarterbacks and his thoughts on flashy offense, it’s a damn far sight from what’s going on in Austin, Texas, or even in Baton Rouge.

With stuff like what’s posted above out there, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine Justice Terry coming back to Athens at some point, not for better NIL money, but to have even the slightest chance at making the pros.

But hey, at least they don’t have to play Georgia this year.

As the Archduke Throws

Lo, the hype around Sir Manning…it grows.

Quick reminder, Cam dropped a crucial pass against Alabama, and Arch didn’t win shit last year. And how are two quarterbacks throwing passes at the same time and we’re supposed to be impressed.

Show me a clip of Arch being pressure and holding on to the ball, and I might start to get worried.

So it goes.

Everyone’s Bigger on Texas

Doesn’t this sound familiar?

SEC Media Days are here, and the media darling is, of course, the Shorthorns. As a reminder, this was the sentiment last year around August…

Since the new Alabama isn’t anything like the old Alabama, I’d say that Texas and New Alabama are neck and neck in the underwhelming department.

And it also wasn’t too long ago…

Cough.

Message Board Geniuses – Who’s your daddy edition

The Hamburgers said on the SEC Network on the night they became official members of the SEC, “We want Georgia.” I think they have found out they don’t really want Georgia anymore.

For Mcm23, we find the combination of a triple letter score with a Q and a double word score that empties the tile for a 50 point bonus every time we play them.

Let’s let Kirby have the final word:

Joey Volchko, Have a Game

Hopefully you watched a masterpiece last night from Omaha.

It was so good, that fellow Georgia Baseball players changed their Instagram profiles to Joey’s picture.

His first pitch was 96 mph and his last pitch…96 mph. On 117 pitches. I’m thinking he had some adrenaline pumping through him, no?

Meanwhile, it’s nice to know we continue to make the Horns keep pointing down, and down, and down.

Go Dawgs!

Who’s your daddy? – OmaDawgs edition

This appearance can’t have been a good omen for this next version of the “everything school.” Kirby has official visit season going on and still found his way to support the Diamond Dawgs against Texas in Omaha.

Does the entire Texas athletic apparatus wake up in cold sweats when the red & black is on the other sideline?

Oh yeah, we’re the dominant women’s track & field program in the country now, too.

More Mental Health Issues in Texas

Well, this is interesting.

Before we lose our collective minds, the Twixxer here is making assumptions on who the pair of gamblers are, as the article doesn’t explicitly say Manning or Livingston was involved.

Buuuuut…Sark has been quite vocal about Texas Tech this offseason, and before all the gambling news took over, was calling into question Tech’s soft schedule, among other things.

It’s almost like it’s an integrity contest that neither school had any business starting, yet here we are.

Reseeding the CWS Would Result in Another SEC Tournament?

Posted on by

Check the crowd pop on this one:

I would’ve paid good money to see this as COSM in Atlanta, provided they had this view of the game from the venue.

Go Dawgs…meanwhile, here’s the matchups for the CWS:

Yes, that’s right…All-SEC on one side of the bracket. Hmm. What would it look like with a reseeded bracket:

#1 Georgia vs. #8 Troy

#2 UNC vs. #7 Oklahoma

#3 Texas vs. #6 Ole Miss

#4 Alabama vs. # 7 West Virginia

Then it would just be an All-SEC CWS, would it not?

Just imagine…also imagine if the Supers were reseeded…some different outcomes could’ve occurred:

1 Georgia vs. 16 Little Rock

2 Auburn vs. 15 Cal Poly

3 UNC vs 14 Troy

4 Texas vs. 13 St. John’s

5 Alabama vs. 12 Oklahoma

6 Oregon vs. 11 USC

7 Mississippi State vs. 10 Ole Miss

8 Kansas vs. 9 West Virginia

Well…guess what…you still would’ve only had five SEC teams in the CWS brackets…and Auburn would’ve been one of them…plus you would’ve had a B1G team in it, too.

Nah, maybe I like it just the way it is.

Message Board Geniuses: Fanbases React to the Sorsby Decision

Do you suppose Texas Tech fans have a shred of concern about the future of the sport?

I’d say “nah”.

Apparently, the Court of Appeals that would handle the next leg of this is chaired by Red Raiders:

Meanwhile, Texass fans are not pleased with their little brothers to the west…

*Checks notes* – Lambos and fat stacks of cash. Got it. While I am on Texas’s side here, I’d say the pot is calling the kettle unethical, just one is more “legally” ethical now that we’re in the era of NIL.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a day ending in y if we didn’t have someone from our traditional SEC orange fan base whining about why they couldn’t get away with it, too.

“Why don’t we have a corrupt judge?” Boo hoo. Talk to a Georgia fan about the local legal system working against you, then wonder how we managed two National Championships while getting pulled over every other day of the week, and let’s resume the conversation after.
