Sneh signs. We got another OT

So overall did we improve our o-line? I would have graded last years oline as a d+. We HAVE to be at c+ to b- to be even remotely successful.

If we missed ?big? on anyone, it was Dyson from Tulane who went to NC State.

My point wasn't that we didn't have a shot. If I recall I believe C34 thought we were wasting our time anyway. I was under the impression we spent a good bit to get him on campus.

We need 5 big old Scandinavians from the Upper Midwest who love to push people around!

We need the 5 Norsemen of The Apocalypse!

I would say so.

We have a senior in Sneh who is an older player playing LT. We get Boone back. Chester and McVay should be upgrades and both have SEC experience- I think McVay played some at Alabama. If Boone struggles, Chester can play center. Steen should be healthy.

The younger players have a much higher upside and we needed some younger linemen to build for the future. Prudhomme, Nash, Miller, and Matthews all have really good potential and if we got those four together in a high school class it would probably be one of our better classes ever.

If we can land Seaton, that would be a grand slam. It would give us a NFL LT and then we would have three legit tackles we could roll through.

I do wish we would have been able to keep Jimothy Lewis and I wish he would have been willing to switch to guard and I wish either Owens or James would have stayed because that would have given us really good depth.

Why did James get his panties in a wad? Did he not think we would court a player like Seaton? Guess we told him we were getting another tackle regardless.

He wanted to be told that he had a starting position when no such plan exists.

So did everyone that wanted him to come to campus for a visit. Guess what, everyone was willing to pay him just to make a visit to have a chance to sell themselves to him. He still only visited a few places, State was one of them. That alone is a win.

If you worried about the kind of money he got for visiting, then you aren't getting any really good players to ever come to campus because that's the price of doing business these days.

A rumor going around said he wanted $2 million to stay. He was told to go find that $2 million elsewhere.

If that's true, then the people that should know him best are our coaches. If they deem guys not worthy of paying, then that's the business you have to be in these days. You can't keep everyone or blow all your $$ on mediocre players.

The fact that Bama took 3 of our guys shows me 2026 with be The Bore's last in T-Town

DeBoar has turned Bama into a soft Pac 12 team. He will go back West and look like a genius again.

They will offer Cignetti crazy money to come to T Town.

LSU writers seem to think they are no longer in it. It's down to MSU and Oregon and Miami I assume

With Cuban as one of the backers and Indiana has one of the largest and wealthiest alumni bases in the country, I doubt Bama will be getting Cignetti.

This is the same conclusion I've come to. Anyone that watched Jayvin James and Kendrick Bingley Jones play last year at no point would have said "yeah they are good enough to play at Bama". I predict DeBoer is fired before the Iron Bowl is played.

I?ll do you one better. Hold on to your butts?

We beat Bama next season.

I wish I could be excited about our team if we would just address the two most glaring needs by spending money on production and sealing the deal. Then I'd talk myself into saying we beat Bama this year.

Maybe I should just wish for glue and huff that so I can be like a certain unpaid intern astroturfing every convo.
