  1. I just don't see how on earth an athletic department is going to hide millions of dollars in excessive revenue sharing long term. ADs can and will be audited and millions of dollars will attract the attention of regulators with actual teeth and now you're creating situations in which fines and jail time become a risk for playing games.
  2. Who has a better roster than Texas and currently has a better recruiting class?
  3. It has everything todo with NIL. Do you think that there are separate funds for roster retention and high school recruiting? The money directed towards Hill is going to reduce the funds that can be allocated towards recruiting a HS player. Schools that have a shitty roster are going to have an advantage in being able to fund their recruiting vs having to spend on retention.
  4. The “Super Bowl windows” are now part of this sport. Having guys like Hill, Collins, Wingo, Muhammad, is going to limit our ability to spend on HS recruits.
  5. Yes? OSU and Georgia both took heavy losses to the NFL draft. So far most of Texas’s draft success has come from the development guys or one year rentals that were cheap from an NIL standpoint. Banks and Worthy so far has been the only big dollar NIL player to leave Texas via the draft. There’s a reason basically every preseason prediction has both UGA and OSU behind Texas.
  6. I think at this point the majority of the bitching is about the “reporting” and OTF and IT clearly had no idea about Wesley.
  7. Someone got way the fuck out over their skis when reporting on the current state of our recruiting. Gerry, CJ and Bobby definitely deserve to catch some flak for this one because they hyped this summer recruiting season way too much.
  8. This is absolutely not true, multigenerational ag families are alive and growing. Texas is the school that’s has completely destroyed generational pipelines.
  9. We’ve got @texifornia for that.
  10. It’s green instead of brown, but not blue. Also the massive population of sea manatees that crowd the beaches drags it down as well. But corpus does have S tier bay fishing going for it.
  11. That came out way after Hernandez left Florida.
  12. No fucking way this is real?
  13. College football programs can now put themselves into NFL rebuild cap hell situations. You fire a coach and all the quality players portal out. Your roster is dirt cheap but crap, so you go big and spend all your money on rookies (HS recruits) and free agents (portal). Now all your vets leave but you have your new expensive signing class, but you have to also sign your new class and cheap out on that because you’re having to now pay your current roster. You are never able to successfully build depth or continuity and you fire your coach for underperforming so you start the process all over again. This is must watch TV because we are now getting into an era where programs can destroy themselves for years at a time and require full scale institutional rebuilds beyond just hiring a new coach. At least in the NFL they have contracts, the draft, rookie pay scales and mandatory league reporting to add clarity and transparency to what’s going on.
  14. Benefits of have a mediocre roster is that it doesn’t cost you anything to retain it.
  15. Because it’s fucking stupid. USC is paying Bowman something absurd like 7.5 million over 3 years. 2 million plus for a TE is regarded unless he’s putting up Brock Bowers numbers. Y’all need to familiarize yourself with the concept of Cap Hell which is going to be a big thing in college football going forward. Also A&M and USC suck ass and don’t have an elite roster that cost a fortune to retain but is actually proven unlike high school recruits.
  16. The swamp people will have a fucking meltdown.
  17. Even though I consume their content you have to have a certain lack of shame to be employed as a purely recruiting “reporter “. Guys like Gerry and Jeff at least have talent in regards to being player evaluators and being able to project scheme fits and development.
  18. Can you imagine time traveling back to this on the Shag and telling the board that this dipshit gets canned and we hire the dude that USC just fired for being a drunk? Also I would absolutely want to time travel back in time and post the all the 2024 results and 2025 preseason predictions on Texags.
  19. I am like in the mid 30,000s and I have been personally contacted. They asked me to donate to the NIL fund by sending them prepaid visa debt cards and western union money orders. They must update the list annually because I sent them the money 6 months ago and I still haven’t seen my loyalty points go up.
  20. Also we no longer endlessly debating and watching G5 film on what our new O/DC is going to install to fix our offense or defense. While we also discuss how the former blue chip recruits that have regressed will be coached up like the G5 3rd round picks our new coaches had put in the league before being hired by Texas.
  21. Deserves got nothing todo with it.
  22. Venables is still a much better coach than strong. Y’all seem to forget just how dog shit we were under Chuckles.
  23. Herman also never got blown out.
  24. Why wear a wig when he can wear the fact he’s a BAMF?
  25. It certainly is a mantra, it’s just not a good one. It’s mantra of the mediocre who spend all their time discussing greatness instead of being great. This is the exact type of gimmicky shit you do when you don’t have any real football accomplishments to talk about.
