@compoundrunner @thewolvenhour The theories range from "Sea Peoples caused these destructions" to "Sea Peoples were the result of these destructions." As always, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@thewolvenhour @head_knucleGR Based on the available evidence, this is completely incorrect

@SethWEmerson I’m just going to leave this right here… https://t.co/zujDd7CTzS

@SethWEmerson At what point do we acknowledge that “rough, rough starts” are the norm for him, rather than acting surprised week after week?

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@andystaples @AriWasserman we OU fans are legion?

Or, perhaps more likely, the “recession-proof” history of Sooner football (which you’ve frequently noted) causes OU’s dips to seem more shocking/dire than those experienced by other teams?

@andystaples @Brooks_UGA The original call was wrong, but you sidestepped the issue a bit too: it’s a non-reviewable call, but endless jumbotron replays + trash-throwing delay made it impossible for the refs to ignore their mistake *despite* its (non-)reviewability

Ed Roland @CollectiveSoul’s interview with @rickbeato inspired me to revisit “Hints, Allegations…” front—>back for the first time in decades. I always loved that album, and am pleased to say that this one-man-band effort still holds up SO well. 🔥

The 5-stars: 6. Klubnik; 22. Weigman; 26. Simpson; 32. Allar

Given that the only QB who’s really made a difference is Noah Fifita (3-star, #38 QB, #690 overall), doesn’t it seem like something went really wrong with this class’s evaluations?

What do Clemson, Penn St, & A&M have common? Each is being dragged down like an ⚓️ by their “5⭐️” QB. I don’t claim to fully understand recruiting ratings [see: Quinn Ewers, highest-rated recruit *ever* (?!)], but something went *really* wrong with the grading of the 2022 class.

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@andystaples @petenakos We frequently think of *college sports* and *college as a whole* as different entities, but it is the most college thing in the world to trade naming rights — to buildings, to schools, to sports complexes— for significant donations (i.e., to sell them)

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@SethWEmerson It’s obviously not a surprise that they would want him to stay, but with the depth chart questions (too many stars on the bench and in the recruiting pipeline!) , and the transfer window opening, it seems like interesting news

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@SethWEmerson curious if you know anything about this: The senior bowl’s Jim Nagy told Andy Staples last night that Georgia coaches essentially asked them not to invite Carson Beck to the senior bowl because they are working hard to keep him at UGA for another year.

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@SethWEmerson DOOM: Between the OC and the QB, this is a dreadful start to the season. Is the real story here just how awful Brock and Gunner must have been in fall camp?(!)

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@MattDeBary Yikes. Overall that actually wasn’t all that encouraging.

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@andystaples 2) that your bumper music will stay the same as before. I know it’s generic, but much like a good pro wrestling entrance theme (THAT’S ANDY’S MUSIC! ANDY STAPLES IS RUNNING TO THE RING!!), it always put me in the right mindset for some serious(-ish 😂) college football talk!

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@andystaples 1) that you’ll keep producing written pieces in addition to video/pod content, and…

(2/3)

@digkabri That makes a lot of sense, and it sounds great — I can’t wait to read it!

[Jeff Emanuel @jeffemanuel]

@zacharysdavis Sounds like good advice! 😀
