I still maintain Weston is your starting LT if you miss Seaton.
This scares the frick out of me.
I struggle to believe that - even with better coaching - he can jump from AWFUL RT to great LT in one offseason

Predict the starting 5 on OL
Posted by PenguinNinja on 1/17/26 at 7:27 am
Obviously Moore is a given at C.
I don’t know which of these other players projects where (not an OL expert), but I’m excited about Thomas to see if when healthy he can live up to his recruiting rankings.
Outside that, Bah, Strey, Martinez, and Harper have me most excited, although obviously most of those guys are unproven / inexperienced (save Bah).
Based on what you know now, whose the starting 5 and where do they play?

Obviously OL and QB groups are in FAR better shape than they were a week ago and we have loads of receivers.
For me it’s probably LB or (still) OL. Our LB room is really good on paper, but a bunch of average to good players - no superstars outside of Whit Weeks who is awesome but seems injury prone.
Similar for OL - I love the bodies we’ve picked up and there potential to have a great starting 5 in there, but that was the case 12 months ago and the group we fielded was historically bad. I’m more confident in our new OL coach (hard not to be), so am hopeful but will probably remain cautiously optimistic unless we pick up a superstar or two OR I start to get reports out of spring camp.
JMO. Tell me I’m wrong or what you guys think.

Which recruiting site is considered the authority these days?
Posted by PenguinNinja on 1/15/26 at 4:17 pm
Back in my day when I kept up with this stuff it was Rivals and Scout. Lot has changed since then with On3, 247, composite ratings, etc
What site is the leading authority referenced when it comes to class rankings, player star ratings, etc?

re: Solomon Thomas question?
Posted by PenguinNinja on 1/13/26 at 7:55 am to Ironhead985
Just remember Weston Davis and Carius Curne were both also 5-stars. Davis had a REALLY rough year and Curne did meh when he played. OT ratings out of HS are more about size and athleticism I think.
re: Incredibly happy that Caden Durham is back
Posted by PenguinNinja on 1/12/26 at 9:15 pm to Xenophon
Just hope he takes the time to get fully healthy so he can get his speed back because it’s not there. I think he needs to get fully healthy and drop a few lbs

In this era you don’t let a top player go because they don’t choose you. You keep chasing them like they’re the hot girl and you make offers to them! The day of picking someone who “wants to play for your school” are over. Every player is going to play for a combo of who pays them the most, but still gives them a great chance at the league. You don’t let any top player go. You chase them until they sign with another team. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but this isn’t the same era of “picking someone who who wants to play for you and if they don’t F ‘em!”
Correct. And this is why I and many others I speak with are VERY QUICKLY losing all interest in CFB.
Is it entertaining? Yes.
Do I have the same emotional connection to my team that made it special relative to pro sports in the past and kept me hooked? frick NO. And everything you just accurately stated is why.
What’s your prediction for how this Iran situation ends?
Posted by PenguinNinja on 1/9/26 at 9:44 am
Methinks we’ve seen this several times before in recent years and the protests are eventually subdued through force and / or whatever subdued the previous ones. I’d like to think this is revolution from within and will result in a secular, friendly Iran but I’ve been fooled before…

We’ll be closer to downtown but not in a hurry so happy to drive wherever for lunch.
Options for a good lunch in Lake Charles
Posted by PenguinNinja on 12/28/25 at 7:57 am
Going to LC tomorrow with a few young boys (3-9 yr olds) and I’m looking for lunch options. Preferably somewhere with a good atmosphere and food…nothing too fancy but not a chain. Ideally a place where the kids can run around but that’s a secondary preference.
Been a long time since I’ve spent much time in LC and I know the hurricanes have changed a lot. Give me a few options.

I know…I completely understand that. I’ve just seen wild stuff before so I believe everything when the ink is dry and my original questions was basically “Is the ink dry?”
Also the DL coach wasn’t an Ole Miss staffer

Thank you Chicken. Good that you can read, unlike some of the mouth breathers who can’t understand the difference between a report, a set of indicators (even if strong indicators), and a signed contract that makes something OFFICIAL!

Posted by PenguinNinja on 12/22/25 at 9:14 am to YeauxTigers
I’ve checked the Coaching Changes board and I see the word “expected”. That’s what I’m asking: are either of these official or are we taking the “expected” and leaping to assumptions that it’ll be official (like we did with Robinson)?
Have we hired RB and DL coaches??
Posted by PenguinNinja on 12/22/25 at 9:08 am
I keep seeing this mentioned as if it’s a done deal ala Elijah Robinson. Is this official official in either case?

Are you sure it’s not at least partially your moms fault? I ask because you're obviously biased and I’ve been in a similar situation where it was my family member in the wrong but no one within the family was willing to call them on it cuz “family”. The ones who aren’t blood get the auto-blame
