We won't be talking about NSD.

It'll be about one of the National Championships won in January, since Andy chickened out on us.

Well, I mean, a True Sophomore starting QB isn't a great situation to run into, nor is competing with his younger brother ;)

Texas
Texas continues to do well in recruiting. Speaking of recruiting in the state of Texas, it looks like the honeymoon period of the SEC having a foothold into Texas is about over. Pretty good article ESPN wrote about how the SEC is struggling to get recruits from Texas like they were a few years ago since the newness has worn off and now the best Texas kids are choosing Big 12 schools again.

http://www.espn.com/blog/ncfrecruit...o-dominating-recruiting-in-the-state-of-texas


"It's pretty simple: The shiny new product of the SEC wore off," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy told ESPN.com while likening SEC recruiting in Texas to the recent fad of the hoverboard. "Everybody rode them around for two or three years -- now you don't see them anymore. The newness has worn off."

The evidence backs that up.

The SEC's arrival into Texas recruiting began to culminate in 2014 and 2015, when the conference bagged the state's top three players in back-to-back years. In 2016, the SEC clobbered the Big 12 in Texas, landing eight of the top 15 players in the Lone Star State, even with only one signing coming from the Aggies.

But for 2018, outside of A&M's two signees, the SEC so far has signed only one top 30 Texas player in Alabama-bound defensive tackle Bobby Brown.

Backup QB's winning both football titles in a year when QB play was largely maligned is kinda dope.

Florida has decided to remove all "Division Title" signage from The Swamp. Good. Fuck that "Division Champ" bullshit; you either win the conference or you don't.

Don't think I've seen any Divisional banners. They do Conference banners, mostly because of having the most in the SEC, so it's assuredly for vanity and pride.

Why is football such a big deal in the south? I know it's a big deal in the US as a whole, but it seems to be a religion in the south.

USC is extending Helton through 2023.

In other news USC won't be competing for another National Championship until 2025.

A couple years ago Roll Bama Roll actually did some good history articles that really addressed this. Granted a lot of it was from a Bama perspective, but the themes held true for most of the post-reconstruction South in the 1920's and 30's.
