I remember watching his high school highlights at Stephenville and being wowed by his playmaking ability. Wasn’t sure how it would translate to college but he was the best player on the field in every game he played in high school.

Fast Forward: Guy is simply a stud. And quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
And it’s not just because he’s producing; 17 receptions, 307 yards, 5 TDs, 18.1 yard average and has also thrown a TD on the year. But it’s how he is doing it, when he is doing it and there’s a calm swagger there.
There’s a grit and a presence we haven’t seen in a bit. That Wes Welker, Mickey Peters type of grit. I think he would’ve made Leach proud.

Guy is underratedly athletic to boot…

Long story short, there’s a reason a frosh like Hudson isn’t getting rushed onto the field. You’ve got some special receivers and it’s starts with Coy (and Kelly).

I recommend to take the time and enjoy Mr. Eakin (only a sophomore). He’s a special talent and exudes that Leach era vibe. Win or lose, bad play calling or not, he’s a guy we are gonna look back on as Red Raider great IMO.

Once Texas and OU leave, the Big12 will have 12 teams. Both the SEC and Big10 will have 16. To secure the future, it probably makes sense to add 4 more to get to 16 as well. So who do you add?

Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah may make the most geographical sense. But Oregon and Washington are bigger/better brands. I think the Big10 will go after both Oregon and Washington, but if they do not would you add them to the Big12 plus the Arizona schools and call it a day?

The Arizona schools are a given if we expand. Adding Oregon and Washington adds risk when the Big10 comes calling, but how do you leave them on the table and add Utah/Colorado?

Thoughts?

People are panic buying toilet paper again due to the port strike even though supply chain for toilet paper is not impacted due to domestic production. People are so dumb.

I understand buying a bunch of green bananas if you are a banana fan but toilet paper is so dumb.

Guy seems so normal.

Our very own @C. Level is about to go on the air to sit down with the head coach ahead of a big game at Arizona.
