  1. I bussed tables for a year in college and spent a summer at a plant on the ship channel as a general laborer. I’d have killed to get a job as a valet. Underpaid? Sign 19 year old CTJ up.
  2. Huh? None of us want to do any of that. Why do you guys insist on attempting to relive nightmares?
  3. Ignore Js1. I thought it was a lovely story, and you tell it so well. Also, I don't think I've ever been banned from a valet, so I feel like you've conquered new terrain here.
  4. The Steamboat guy is the most thoughtless of all of the pumpers. I got old enough at some point to just realize that non-critical dumbfucks like that weren’t worth the bullets, put him on ignore, and forgot about him until seeing you idiots quoting him here.
  5. I should have clarified that the part about not getting both Ojo and Turntine is just coming from my inner sarvanash. I haven’t heard that from anyone lately. It was a thing earlier in the cycle though.
  6. Maybe they'll circle back to some spares and still finish with 5.
  7. Apparently, reports are coming out that Lee got tired of hearing about the stupid fucking weather comparisons between Hawaii, a subpar part of the Gulf Coast and the Great Lakes. Also, Texas isn't getting both Ojo and Turntine.
  8. Fong put in a pick for Lee to Michigan. Womp womp.
  9. Sir! On special days in Galveston, you can see your feet in waist deep water.
  10. The Georgia mods today stated that they do not expect Johnson in their class at this point in time. Same for Malakai Lee. They still project that UGA will sign Atkinson, but also acknowledged that things are far closer in landing him "versus other schools" than they expected. Miami fully expects to land Johnson, on the other hand.
  11. Looks like a whole bunch of chucklefucks starting to wander around here, twisting themselves up over the numbers.
  12. "Le'Veon is ready! Le'Veon has got some new moves! Check Le'Veon out!"
  13. "If there's one thing the ol'ball coach knows about football, it's coaching them fucking quarterbacks, ya hear?!?!" GTFO. Spurrier was a complete and utter buffoon when it came to handling QBs. He was truly one of the biggest idiots with QBs to have ever coached the game. Him questioning Sarkisian on that subject matter is a fucking joke.
  14. "If Borba is playing next year, he will have dramatically improved" or some shit in your post above the quoted one. Give us a fucking break. The guy finished the season with an OPS just shy of 1.000. All the takes about Borba being bad offensively and needing to be replaced in the lineup are laughable.
  15. Stop engaging with the fucking idiot troll on the recruiting thread about non-recruiting shit. You're giving him everything he wants and it is bandwidth drain to the rest of us.
  16. I have to tell you, the ongoing hate towards Borba as a hitter is absurd. It was thing in the 2025 thread, game threads, and now here. I get that he took too many called 3rd strikes for some people's liking, but the guy hit pretty fucking well down the stretch and, ultimately, on the year. He could be in store for a massive season based on the the work they're pushing with him regarding a focus on all fields with power.
  17. Pertaining to the RB musical chairs, the Miami 247 mods are now telling their base that Lamar is trending Georgia's way. They're now doubling down that Cooper is theirs. That leaves Crowell to Bama or Texas, if so. Bama is the big favorite in that one. Maybe Sarkisian decides he needs one of these backs and gets more aggressive. Maybe he waits for the season to watch ATM go 6-7 and picks up Edwards when he circles back.
  18. Gerry Hamilton Posted 11 minutes ago OnTexasFootball has been informed that Texas A&M is out of contention for 5-star OT John Turntine III Texas vs. Michigan is where we hear the most noise right now. There is confidence in Austin ahead of July 4th announcement. Michigan does think they are in it. Stanford is the third team on the list. Jinx
  19. The university can and should. Also, insiders/BMDs need to cease all info flow immediately. It's fucking insane.
  20. What's coming is worse than any of this. This motherfucker is about to be an even bigger cancer for UT athletics than he always has been.
  21. The House settlement is a burden to any program without a ton of money. It adds to the mix of capital that the program needs to raise each season. I'm sure SEC revenue growth and playoff dollars will come in handy for OU eventually, but they aren't there yet. The House settlement "helping" is when schools like ATM use it as an excuse to just start paying guys whatever the fuck they want from their own coffers.
  22. Guy who played Gaston at DisneyWorld level shit.
  23. I don't know whether you've been around and just created a new handle, or you're new here. On the chance that you're new here, just a heads up, but the poster you quoted is a complete fucking imbecile. Just voluminous, insipid troll, trying to find people ignorant of his uncreative schtick to respond him so that he can then flood a thread and irritate the rest of us. OTF has maintained for awhile that those two guys are highly unlikely to go to the same school. It doesn't matter where either one will be lining up.
  24. OU’s “Champ BBQ Weekend” turned out to be a giant wet fart. They landed Jandreau because his parents pushed him to stick with his brother. They landed a kicker. They landed a 3 star Edge over UCLA and Colorado. Throughout the weekend, Nagy was live tweeting hints at big things about to happen, getting posters worked up. I’ve listened to this guy over the years and there’s always been a hypeman element to him trying to rally viewers and participants to the Senior Bowl in Mobile. I didn’t realize that would carry over into OU GM territory. It’s gotten to where the sooner posters have rapidly gone from “Trust Nagy!” to mocking his tweets. It’s glorious to witness. Afterwards, multiple other “big” targets indicated to the Sooner Illustrated mods that they were now looking elsewhere. The overriding theme? Oklahoma is poor. They wanted competitive offers to compare to other schools and they didn’t get them. They lost an IOL from Pasa-get-down-Dena! who is now choosing between TCU and UH. The guy went to OU this weekend, the mods said OU felt really good about the visit, then they spoke to him later in the day and he said he was choosing elsewhere. Same story for a 4 star DT they really wanted. They’re also all over a WR named Dandridge that Georgia really wants and expects to land. The mods are trying to keep hope there while clearly concerned. The mods and a board “insider” are all now talking about OU prioritizing the portal over HS recruiting and telling board denizens to stop focusing on the HS recruiting rankings. In the span of 48 hours. “Expect fireworks in the portal in December!” That program is heading south in a hurry. They’ll have a decent team this year, but sustaining any bounce back will be elusive.
  25. Don’t make it harder than it has to be. ATM took it to ludicrous speed and Texas had no interest in escalating to plaid.
