I don't care if we lose every game the rest of the season, I won't miss RT. In fact that always just pisses me off. Tom Herman loses to Maryland and "Miss Charlie Strong yet??". Um, no. One has nothing to do with the other.
-
Yeah, that dude is way too productive to shelf. Even if a quality back in the portal is demanding a certain amount of carries.

Yeah....appreciate the insight on this some of y'all have shared. As mentioned a while back, we've worked with the refugee kiddo over who we have some partial guardianship (long story, only a partial legal relationship, mostly to help him out where his natural mother can't be helpful). He's something of a talented soccer player -- he ain't Messi, but he's good enough to get some college looks. It looks like he's down to Huston Tillotson, which has offered him a spot on the team, and a full ride, and UIW, which has offered him a "preferred walk-on" roll and....not a full ride. He's almost certainly not going to play pro soccer anywhere, but he likely does want to focus on training/kinesiology as a career. SO, we very much want him to get a degree. ANY degree, would be the first ever for his family. Challenge: he REALLY wants UIW, but there's a price tag. And while we are willing to help...we didn't plan to put a third kid through college. We will be talking to a friend of ours in admin at UIW to see if there's any path to defraying costs more, but....any thoughts on those paths, and soccer options? Academically and life-choice wise, we think UIW might be better too (it would be good for him to go to a new city, have a small bit of distance from his mom and brother, but on the other hand, not too far and not too much separation). But....a full ride to HT is nothing to sneeze at. And I have great respect for HT as an institution, they are sound and well-funded (just got a huge new gift). So, things to think about.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
HateYouAndMyself replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Peoples being gone seems basically certain. Just not clear whether Williams will also be out. Could go along with Baker to Tulane or just be replaced by LSU anyway. I do know the players supposedly loved him and he was big in helping to keep Brown and Anderson on board during all the coaching chaos. /shrug -
Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
MrBig replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Campbell is a thin skinned little bitch (remember when he approached that heckler who was barely talking shit?) and he couldn’t even strike when the iron was hot with the Brock Purdy success. If waiting for the right moment to make a move is taking the Pedo State job nobody wants to touch, good for him. -
Hey Dad, are we doing Christmas at your house or my brother’s this year?

I'm not sure I agree with that, although I agree that neither is a great outcome. For the average consumer, this is probably going to be a great deal. The average consumer doesn't care about craft or quality or experience. The average consumer cares about convenience. Sit on couch, turn on screen, screen output shiny content, scroll on smaller screen. The end. This deal will *without question* result in more of that. There is a smaller set of consumers that cares about both the quality of movies and the quality of the method by which movies are consumed. This deal is certainly a disaster for the latter, and probably very bad for the former.

I love how in the Netflix deal he’s like “I don’t believe I can lose” and then you realize it’s because he’s so retarded his mind can’t game out the alternate possibilities.
-
Peoples followed Baker from Missouri to LSU so I think the thought is he would be going to Tulane with him too. I think Williams was just a stopgap hire after Bo Davis left so late in hiring cycle. That seems to be who Elijah Robinson would be replacing.

I love a good explainer but I don't have the attention span to sit still for 54 minutes looking at someone with a cold sore. Cliff notes?

I always wondered how that year hurt incoming recruitable athletes. We were just outside kids getting Covid years and dodged a bullet.

Even in our own hotel I have enough respect for my wife and myself (mostly me) that I will go find the pool room shitter. They’re usually always really clean.

Isn't LaAllen Clark the EDGE coach here?

Either us or Lane, imo -
A poster who seems to have had intel in the past mentioned Clark's name for edge coach and Scottie Hazelton for DC.

You think one of the United States' esteemed "journalists" will ask the question?

Yeah, I heard soccer was pretty bad. The whole recruiting process is a shitshow in general. These poor kids are on such an emotional rollercoaster. June 15th and kids are on pins and needles hoping to get calls. Then you get calls and these schools don't have the balls to tell you they took another kid higher on the list than you. My daughter was being recruited by Wake Forest. They were looking for an outside hitter. They had been watching her for two years. They showed up at triple crown, and their coach was even videoing her in the huddle. So they were pretty serious. They ended up taking 25 recruit Bailey Warren(DT for the Patriots and aggy Ty Warren's daughter), a kid who plays for a rival of my daughter's high school. They didn't have the decency to even let my kid know they went in a different direction. Bailey is a phenomenal athlete, far better than my kid, but to ghost us? So then Bailey flips to Baylor . I laughed. They got what they deserved. That's what these schools do to kids. No texts back No emails back. No calls back once they decide. Several schools were after my kid and we coached her to let them know she was looking elsewhere if she didn't like them. We also told her she isn't Cardale Jones, we definitely came to play school. So go to the best school you can, fuck a volleyball ranking. She is a good little player, a little undersized, but a good leaper, and an extremely powerful hitter. She is strong. At 14 she put up 150 on the weight bench and 220 on the squat rack. Had to tell the strength coach to cut that shit out! There are a ton of great schools in the NE that aren't going to wow you in volleyball but are academically strong. She chose that route. So now she is a big fish in a little pond, and that's okay. It's already served her well, because not only are they not going to be trying to recruit over you as soon as you hit campus, but they didn't even drop you after you tore your ACL just prior to national signing day.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread

That entire LSU situation is murky as hell right now. There were reports last night about them trying to hire Elijah Robinson but it is unclear if that would be to replace Kyle Williams (DTs) or Kevin Peoples (edges). Either or both of those guys could be headed to Tulane with their DC. Williams is only in his first year there but the players love him. Hoping he moves along to Tulane but he is an LSU grad so who knows. Probably depends on the replacement DC hire. -
wat?

Yea US should win this group. If they don’t that’s a failure

Nice distraction so he could steal someone's CC

This time of year has me reminded: when I was around 10 years old, my mom divorced an abusive 2nd husband. She had 2 kids & the decree required HER to pay the maxed ot CC bills he had accrued (high quality 35mm camera equipment, SCUBA gear, etc). Christmas comes along & we had next to Ø. Tinfoil on the windows vs. "Proper" blinds or curtains, basic bed setups as provided by the Nuns @ Saint Jerome's (9th Avenue & 2 blocks S of State Road 84 in Fort Lauderdale) & not much else. A neurologist @ Broward General had somehow become aware of our situation (no idea on the connection as she was a Respiratory Therapist & those 2 professions rarely coincide). Anyway, he provided me & my brother with our only "Santa" gift, a Lionel HO gadget train set & even to this day, 49 years later, his generosity is still a *very* resonant memory.
