  1. aggy mocking LSU as "unimpressive" for winning the "weakest West division in the last 20 years"...the same West division they placed dead last in, without a hint of irony is just

  2. Texas will be getting commits or flips from: Moore, McDonald, and Akana tomorrow. Scott wasn’t considered worth the NIL. Pimpton is going to have trouble with the Vandy staff. He really likes them and they were on him early. LSU had no idea about where Pimpton was heading as of this evening. Texas felt like they had a key family member in their court. No one knows, which is rare. I was told tonight that I am loony for not really wanting him. McDonald won’t announce til 1/7. They will stay on Robinson through signing day 2 because he is worth it. The only guy Texas is all in on regarding the portal so far is Holmes. They likely get him. OU thinks they have Akana because of the HS coach. Texas thinks they have him because of NIL conversations. I know which side I am betting on for tomorrow. Alabama and Georgia close 1-2 tomorrow or vice versa. ATM is confirmed lost in space on recruiting and portal. They don’t even understand the world has shifted. They’re about to bread the fuck out. Bowens’ mom is no longer against him picking OU. Derek Williams signs tomorrow or Miami has gone so far above reality that Texas can’t fathom it. There’s all of the logic in the world to bet on a UT signature tomorrow. Logic and recruiting are a hell of thing though. I think that covers it for the most part. Might have forgot something so feel free to ask.

  5. Reminded me of this joke: A new store opened in New York. It's called The Husband Store. Women can go there to find a husband, but there are strict rules. She may visit the store only ONCE. There are 6 floors with men of differing qualities in ascending order. The women may go up a Floor at a time but may only go down all the way to the bottom and out the front door. So a woman enters the store and reads the big sign inside the entrance by the elevator. The first floor sign reads: Men with jobs. She's intrigued but continues to the second floor. There the sign reads: Men with jobs and love children. Nice she thinks but I want more and proceeds to the third floor. There she is greeted by a sign that reads: Men who have jobs, love children and are extremely good looking. WOW she thinks but feels compelled to keep going. So on to the fourth floor where the sign reads: Men with jobs, love kids, are drop dead gorgeous and help with housework. Oh my she thinks, I can hardly stand it but on to the fifth floor she goes. There the sign reads: Men who have jobs, love kids, are drop dead gorgeous, help with housework and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay and take a husband from here but she goes on to the sixth floor, There the sign reads: You are visitor 37,365,498 to this floor. There are no men here. This floor only exists to prove you can't satisfy a woman. Thank you for shopping with us. PLEASE NOTE: So not to be gender bias the owner opened a store across the street called New Wives. The first floor has wives who love sex. The second floor has wives who love sex, have money and love beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

  6. I'm all for it. My wife went to the portal and committed elsewhere. I dropped her scholarship and she got pissed when she found out that her NIL benefits didn't follow her. I replaced her with a grad transfer from Sloan who brought her own corporate NIL deal.

  8. You don't "accidentally" stir things up when you come to say you support someone who hates gays and vaccines. I find your use of Victor Lazlo to be ironic. Ironic in an offensive way.

  9. I know less than most of you and have purposely not followed this story closely outside of cracking wise on this thread. But I do know because the Managing Partner of the large firm that handles a huge portion of UT's outside counsel work with Jim, this other guy gets loose lips after several drinks. And he handles mainly athletics contracts and IP for UT. They brought him in to help find cause to shitcan Herman awhile back. anyway, he tells me that their firm has been asked to figure out what a termination of contract would look like for cause, indictment, civil case filed against Beard, etc. All the different permutations for how this goes sideways for UT and Beard. To cover all bases, MP asks for their thought process on keeping Beard on (suspended with pay, without pay, indefinitely, rest of academic budget year, etc.---all the shit you guys have been contemplating). Well, that side of it was shifted to outside counsel at another firm oF UT's. and their Managing Partner? You guessed it, Frank Stallone. I jest But nothing shocking here, they've got one firm working the angle of "IF, IF, IF we keep Beard...what does that look like?" and another working the "how do end this in the very, very near future...days/weeks not weeks/months. Both firms are notoriously over-billers even for white shoe shops. So they could drag this out but Jim and Jay have put their foot down and said they're decision is coming imminently and any dragging out by these two firms (most of you know one or both of them) will result in a termination of relationship at next retainer expiration. So I have a feeling they know what they want to do, just a matter of due diligence that helps the narrative that they covered all their bases. Again, nothing very insightful...just confirmation from lots and lots of higher-up lawyers actually working the case that this outcome is looking like it comes out on one binary outcome or the other, but soon. I don't see them keeping him under contract without pay and suspended from running the team until start of next budget year (8/31 or 9/1) as some sort of compromise much as these attorneys would like to see that happen. I think this is all resolved by mid-January at the latest. Plus, there's the calendar realities of hoops-can't hire anybody away in January, got another signing period few months away, NIL cash that doesn't want to stay in limbo over players bolting early, etc. Last two anecdotal things: -one regent I spoke with who is the most die-hard Longhorn sports fan outside of maybe Eltife...they absolutely want this resolved one way or the other before their February meeting. That much cash, one way or the other, plus interim coach bumps is not wanted on their discussion points. Obviously they don't want bad PR blowback if turns out Beard is a serial abuser. But I bet dollars to donuts Sharphorn already has a back-channel idea of what this is already looking like legally. That guy's been around major, major athletics fallout shit for decades going back to Michigan. I doubt he doesn't know what's what. This reinforces the messaging this could still go either way but it goes away within a month, at most. There is no limbo option, or if there is they're being coy to overbill and underdeliver. -Former UT in house GC should be at our dinner tonight, she still works closely with Jim's office. I am nowhere near as good at casually eliciting information when sober but she and I have had wonderful conversations about the inside baseball stuff at UT after some wine (no breach of her oath or anything). I am going to try my level best to see what's what, but I'm not as good at conversation sober. My plan is to wind somebody else up to ask her some shit and see what happens. tl;dr Almost everyone's opinion and insight here could happen. I just feel like they're gonna rip the bandaid off soon and keep him back on the bench but leave it to him to fund PR/outreach/making nice with the woman/etc.) or he's gone with no backpay and as he litigates himself into the fucking ground versus UT and the woman, and picks up at some mid-major/D2 school in a few years time. I don't see the Coach Terry with "Offensive Analyst" volunteer Chris Beard for 3 more months with a chance to earn backpay in the summer. But lawyers lie and shooters shoot.

  11. The last couple of years have been bad as a rice fan. This is the one that does it for me. I hate JT Daniels. I hate his face. I hate his game. I hate how he pouts. That stupid fucking mustache. I hate that they are letting him into the school I love. Fuck this. Re-upping on all Texas related NIL ventures even though I never got my koozie or my cup.

  12. Nick Harris update on Williams EDIT 2:20pm: Just talked to a source at Texas that said that the staff had a positive conversation with Derek Williams and his mom this afternoon and they now expect him to sign on Wednesday once again. Given the back-and-forth nature here, this is something I won't consider resolved until the letter of intent is received tomorrow or when the signing period expires on Friday. It is notable that Texas has confidence back in the building after a little bit of panic this morning.

  13. Ho-fucking-ho and merry-fucking-Christmas to you all. Leaving town on Friday or Saturday and heading up to Tyler. This may get pushed back if the weather is shitty. My wife is actually meeting my in-laws today so that my son can have a few more days with his grandparents before we arrive. For the uninformed: I have two SILs. One is/was? a nuclear engineer whose husband didn't like her working long hours at a nuclear power plant so convinced her to stay home and essentially be a bum like him. She's now a rental property manager for a broker because they needed money and he's not going to work. He graduated from college in 2006 and has literally never had a job in his life. His resume is blank. My other SIL is a bat-shit crazy moron who likes to give my wife and I parenting advice even though she has no kids. But she was a nanny for 5 years! She's in her mid 40s and her "significant other" is a retired microsoft middle manager who is a crazy left-winged conspiracy theorist (think cloak room on steroids - but no CR). She's allergic to everything under the sun and has to have her own christmas and thanksgiving meals (who the fuck is allergic to fucking turkey and potatoes?) My FIL is probably one of the nicest guys in the entire world. He'd help anyone out who he can. He's also a packrat who loves to go buy random shit at auctions. He has over 75,000 nails. His garage is packed to the rafters with shit (which is how I ended up with weedwacker string as a christmas gift a few years back). He's an engineer by trade and loves tinkering with shit and building shit. Takes care of his neighbors, would do anything to help anyone. He just wants everyone to get along. ***HINT: there is typically a fight between my wife/my MIL and the 45 year old SIL over some stupid bullshit that makes me laugh and makes my wife just get pissed off*** Every year when we're driving home, my wife will always say to me - "We're not going to visit for next Christmas. I want to spend Christmas at our house because I don't want to ever talk to her again", referring to the high-drama SIL. Yet, here we are. The deadbeat BIL will mope around for hours on end, drinking hard liquor at breakfast and throughout the day and is in a constant state of depression. He hates being at my in-laws and they hate him. Hell, everyone hates him and they even talk shit to him to his face. He's the kind of person who I wouldn't be surprised if he went postal. His wife (my SIL - the former nuclear engineer) is great with my son and overall, a pleasant person to be around. I have no qualms with her whatsoever. My other SIL - literally no one can stand her. She marches around whining all day, nitpicking at random bullshit and is just tiring to be around. Her boyfriend just feeds this telling everyone what is wrong with society. Plan is to do the whole Christmas shindig with my folks on Christmas Eve (gifts, dinner, etc.) then spend the night at my in-laws, wake up and do their whole shindig. I'm not sure what I'm cooking for lunch over there (told my FIL to buy whatever and I'll grill it, just need a heads up). Christmas with my parents is so easy. There's only 6 of us. Christmas with my in-laws is a big fucking ordeal dealing with multiple personalities (10 people, 12 personalities), tears, yelling, and WTF christmas gifts.

  14. "We have more resources than anyone!" They don't have any grasp of the fact that the landscape has fundamentally shifted and they do not, in fact, have more resources than anyone. They no longer possess the brief competitive advantage of being able to moneywhip the market. Everyone else worth a shit is arming themselves to the teeth on the NIL front. Other staffs have added numerous analysts and scouts to be on top of the portal and more advanced high school recruiting. Meanwhile, Jimbo Fisher appears to be caught in the same exact trap that his fanbase is caught in. "Why aren't all these guys just taking the money?" Hmm. On top of that, and maybe time will disprove this, but right now ATM looks about as flat-footed in dealing with the portal as any program in the country besides Clemson. Given that Ritz Bitz is a simple idiot, adjusting to the newness of the environment and its pace of change is going to be a challenge not easily overcome. I'm enjoying this.

  15. I always chuckle a little when I hear "Oh I like his policies, but not his behavior" or whatever. Donald Trump, famous policy wonk. Considering how much time and effort he put into his coup attempt, I believe that has to be categorized as policy.
