  • Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program- How YOU can help Texas with the NIL right now!


    RGBIII

    Enough bitching, enough sitting on the sidelines, CDC isn't doing fucking dick but we can! Introducing Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program. This is how we make a difference, if we can get enough interest and hit the numbers that we forecasted, that is a huge step towards getting at least one position group taken care of (possibly two pending interest and people actually putting their money where their mouths are) with the hopes that others will follow with other less appreciated position groups. Bijan, Card, even guys like Jamison and Overshown won't have issues getting paid when the NIL is fully rolled out (hopefully fucking soon, looking at you @closetojumping)or when CDC gets his head pulled out of his ass (Doubtful, fucking moron).

    Next Steps, I gauge interest through this article and see what the financials actually look like (You won't be charged dick till this shit actually gets rolled out), we get a liaison in the TE room to help facilitate scheduling, we get this bitch through compliance (Don't think this should be an issue but....), then we start to roll it out to the TEs! All the profit is going directly to the TEs, and the website will be handling the money (No Ketch bullshit). We will mail everyone's Cups and stickers and shit once things have been rolling. We will need some help designing a logo (paging @TreatyOak). This is a great opportunity for us to have some fun with the NIL, get some kids some cash legally and above board, help improve TE recruiting and keep talented TEs on the team and out of the portal. If you have any suggestions, questions or grievances shoot me and @immamac a DM. This is how we help!

    To this point. They will actually check that the TEs fulfilled their duties in the contract they signed. Every day I think about Chris Plonsky having to listen to the podcast and us saying fuck eleventy billion times…really keeps me going 

    Well someone seems like he wants to hate fuck Plonsky.....or is it get pegged by? Because she definitely has that energy.

    Player has to do something of market value for the 100k, that's the problem - what will you have them do for that money? You can't just give it to them for random bullshit as that's not sustainable.

    I dm'ed Barstoollonghorn on instagram about Burnt Ends.  I sent them most of the stuff including the tweet with a couple of the slides.  They were asking me to explain how Burnt Ends work.  I'm half convinced they didn't read any of the stuff I sent them.  I think it would be helpful to have these slides on the Surlyhorns instagram account.  Especially for people to be able to repost them on their stories and for them to be easy to dm to people.  Also if yall want, I would recommend dm'ing Barstoollonghorn about Burnt Ends.  They did seem interested in Burnt Ends but seemed confused about my role in it.  Barstoollonghorn has 74k followers so getting them to post about Burnt Ends would definitely help get the word out.

    Final Tally for today:

    115/150 for 10/mo or 120/yr (+8)

    51/150 for 25/mo or 300/yr (+1)

    39/50 for 50/mo or 600/yr (+5)

    Slackin' pretty hard on the flats tier. I think once we ship merch that tier will pick up. The other 2 on target.

    No it wont. What will happen is Texas will never vacate any wins or a national championship.

    You guys think this is a fucking game, but it's not. Vacating a season or championship is a real shit stain on a University. Some 2nd rate trash schools may be willing to do this, but Texas will never ever risk vacating shit. It will also not risk in any way the eligibility of it's student-athletes. 

    Then we risk staying mired in mediocrity.  The NCAA almost never hands out any harsh penalties.  Everyone knows some universities are flat out buying players... nothing ever happens to them.  Other schools are creating absurd NIL deals for their players... upwards of 1 million dollars.  Nothing is going to happen to them either.  We either start competing with the big boys in spending on recruits or we will just fall behind.

    @immamac, @RGBIII,

    You have to make this easier to sign up. I said it before, and it hasn’t improved.

    I signed out, just to see what it looked like for a new user.

    You see the Burnt Ends banner, but nothing that is intuitive that directs you to it, and nothing that says “Click here to join Burnt Ends”

    I’m on an Ipad, and an old guy, maybe I’m missing something, but I know enough that you have to ask for the sale. Make it easy for everyone that wants to buy what you are selling.

     Make a banner or button that can’t be missed that screams “Join and Pay Here”.

    Pardon me if I’m missing something, that is a distinct possibility,  but my point stands - make it it as easy as you can for people to give you money.

    I think once people see the shirt/cup or whatever they'll be more inclined. Would probably be a good idea to photoshop the cup on the slideshow to give people a visual.

    There is an upgrade button. It’s hard as fuck to find though, at least on mobile. If you can eventually find the page on your profile that shows the tier you purchased, there’s an upgrade option on that page

    • I was bored and went through the coaching staffs for each of the remaining playoff teams.  Listed below are the coaches who seemed like possibilities to me (but I'm an idiot).  They all have some college coaching experience and in the case of one an extensive HS coaching background.  A couple of entries have pretty light resumes but have long NFL careers.

      Houston Texans:
      Jacques Cesaire DL coach - 5 years at Univ of San Diego as DL coach, 9 years as DE for San Diego Chargers
      Rod Wright Asst DL Coach

      Green Bay Packers:
      Jerry Montgomery DL coach -11 years in college at OU, Michigan, Wyoming.  Last 9 years in NFL


      Detroit Lions:
      John Scott Jr. DL Coach - First year in Detroit.  Previously coached at Penn St., South Carolina, and Arkansas
      Wayne Blair QC - Long time Florida HS head coach, spent last two years coaching DLine in Detroit.  Played at Tulane and CFL

      Buffalo Bills:
      Marcus West Asst D-Line - Prior to joining Bills in 2022 spent 14 years as college D-Line coach (Charlotte, Minn, Austin Peay)

      San Francisco 49ers:
      Darryl Tapp Asst D-Line - 12 year NFL veteran.  Coached D-Line at V-Tech for 2 seasons.  Joined 49ers in 2022.

    • I'm not doing well about it, at all. 

      That's because we had our championship window of opportunity, which is now closed. 

      Why? Because now we face another, more potent opponent. The Fightin' Aggies of Texas A&M University. 
      They have THE best traditions in all of college. Plus, they've already surpassed us in baseball and basketball. Don't believe me? Consider this recent post from TexasAgs: "We've already surpassed them in baseball and basketball." 


      What's more, they demonstrated an unquenchable commitment to success when they paid a coach $78 MILLION to leave. That's right. $78 million to a coach they had presented a future national championship trophy to stop coaching, and they did it mid-season without a replacement locked-in. While it seems like this is poor financial management by their athletic department, it shows a spirit of winning we could only dream about. 


      Now, they've brought in a coach who gets them. That's right. He EMBRACES their traditions. And he has a great nickname, The Elk, which pairs with The Station quite nicely. We don't even have an amazing nickname for our city. 

      +

      Finally, when you compare the two football programs, A&M comes out ahead. As many of their posters continually point out, they faced a much better Alabama team than we did AND ALMOST WON. Plus, they paid tribute to their near-win against the second-best team in the Big 12.  

      Now that they've moved on from many of their players from the best recruiting class of all time, and have had multiple highly ranked recruits opt out, they are ready to win even more championships with hardworking farm boys from small towns. 


      Thanks for indulging my meltdown. I'm skeered real good.
