  4. Nick Saban basically skull fucked the nation, but particularly the SEC, into having to just accept the fact that Alabama was a tough beat because they put guys in the league, and they played the game. It took the greater part of a decade, but it finally got normalized. I look forward to Texas normalizing that shit sooner, rather than later. Wolk seems to get it, and can read the obvious as fuck tea leaves. One more year of exciting draft returns for Texas, and we could be looking at the bullshit, surface level excuses of "Texas only wins recruiting battles because of money" and "Texas doesn't develop players" and "We don't want mercenaries" disappearing off the face of the earth. I cant speak to how Championships will fall in Texas's favor, but I know that eventually, even the dumbest motherfuckers, will have no choice but to accept that Texas is developing talent at a high motherfucking rate and Austin is a great place to play ball if you want a future in the NFL...and money now. I can't wait. Those fucking toothless SEC hayseeds basically incepted themselves to accept the reality that Alabama and Nick Saban were real, and there was an entire cognitive movement around SEC dick-riding by those atavistic waterheads to have to accept that reality without killing themselves. Because at least Alabama was one of them, right? No one views Texas as "one of us," and more importantly, Texas doesn't view the rest of them as peers, either. We're never going to join their little double digit IQ club, and they won't be able to handle it when we're crushing recruiting, getting dudes drafted, and playing for titles. Their brains will explode. It will be the most bitter dick they've ever tasted, and I am fucking HERE for it. And even better, aTm will almost certainly try to keep saying "See I told you so" to those goobers for some semblance of acceptance, and the rest of the SEC is going to reject the fuck out of them too. This is the inevitable end, and we're already seeing the beginnings of it with every single "I hate what the game has become" take on their fucking boards that coincides with whatever lie they're telling themselves currently to get through the day as reality starts to set in. Enjoy the lies you're telling to yourself now, boys, because sunlight is coming and there won't be any dark corner of your dim mind where you'll be able to hide from reality.

  6. well burnt orange and white complained that I come in here and have a weekly shit fit and he knows more about running a message board than me and is the most intelligent and best poster on the board so I respected his decision to not moderate this thread anymore. Eh, fuck that. I'm going to go ahead and randomly pick 3 off topic posts on every page to win a day off. So if you're feeling lucky go ahead and post off topic shit.

  7. Georgia is also pioneering the "orange shirt" program where they open up roster space by having players do a semester at the county jail

  8. This has been by far the best offseason since the 2000s. And while there have been any number of reasons for it, Georgia nation losing their collective minds this past week is helping immensely to what had already been awesome sauce. The message boards are aflame with accusations. I've watched Mike Griffith lose his mind on Dawgnation as well as the Paul Finebaum show. "Of course Texas gets a bye week before they play Georgia. Of course they do." We caused Film Guy to go into an existential crisis regarding his offseason podcasts. "We cultivated a relationship with Tyler Atkinson since he was in the 8th grade. Do relationships even matter any more? What's the point of covering recruiting if it's all going to be transactional? Derrick Cooper didn't even visit Texas. The thing that really bothers me is the lack of transparency. Sarkisian up there flat out lying about we don't lead with NIL..." "...what do you guys think? What should the channel cover during the offseason since there's no point in talking about recruiting? This is the lifeblood of college football, but I'm seeing that people aren't going to even follow recruiting if this is what it's come down to." I'm paraphrasing here. Some guy named Coach Hayes brings up the clip of Mukuba hitting Stockton down near the goal line in the SEC championship game, playing in slow motion over and over again, saying this is what Texas teaches these kids. So many of the Georgia talking heads taking exception to Texas Longhorn fans arrogance on different social media outlets. Keep up the good work, everyone! And this is after we lost to them twice. Think what's going to happen to those poor souls when we put up a win streak against them. It's going to be Nebraska the sequel. I always said the SEC fan bases think Alabama fans are arrogant. They are only getting a taste so far. We are easily going to be the most hated program in the conference very quickly. As it should be.

  12. Remember when we had Bo Davis, who could coach, but barely gave one fuck about recruiting? Development would create the DL pipeline? Now we got an unheralded dude (from Georgia) who rose up thru backwater dumps, worked his ass off to get a chance to prove himself, and he’s both developing and recruiting, taking advantage of the resources at his disposal. KB went from, “who the fuck is this guy?” when hired to also deserving one of those BMF wallets.

  19. Closer to $450k over this and last year. Shopping an offer is fine. But when you tell a staff one thing and decide an OSU visit is needed. We don't use hard checks to close but do expect loyalty/honesty. Hence the Ojo no go for any reason. I have the benefit to know I'm dying soon from MS and hemochromatosis (shitloads of iron in blood, I'm over 10x what a human should have) and really don't need money for retiring now. Easy to give some to Texas. And no I don't have sway other than declining to up what I'd given. Like I said, I'd like Cooper in this class but really think the young man could have managed things better.

  20. One of the things that has helped everyone, from donors to CDC to Sarkisian to coaching staff to Harris, is simply time. Most of the network and infrastructure is no longer unfamiliar. Yes, there have been a few new coaches, but that's about it. As folks are in the same roles for longer, they get better. Another factor, however, is that their flaws also become better understood and good managers are able to either help people work on those areas, or account for that weakness in some other way. Last year and prior to that, Harris was not ready for prime time. He's allegedly in better shape these days, but I highly doubt he's some skilled guru that is in high demand on the open market. He's still somewhat inexperienced and immature and he's buoyed by literally the best resourced program in the world. Sarkisian is something of a micromanager around the roster, so he's not going to be repeatedly surprised when the same shit rears its head with each big recruitment or position group. Kenny Baker's been here a year+ and that helps, but he also no longer has to beg for attention and resources at DT. He had to throw fits after watching the May/June debacle last year and that changed things there, as an example. Most lessons aren't learned through success, in my experience. Overcoming failure and adversity leads to growth and experience, then hopefully success and wisdom. If you choose to learn at all. Tom Herman is a narcissist. He's been incapable of true growth and learning since the narcissism framed up his personality in puberty, most likely. Nothing is ever his fault, so what is there to learn? Sarkisian is the opposite of that. He's empathetic and introspective. That's almost to a fault, I think. This is an introspective staff, led at the top by a guy who clearly is such. I'm just hoping that that finds its way into the red zone planning and playcalling this season. Allegedly the TE/A-back coach and Neal Brown are involved with just that, but we'll see.

  23. 1 Why would anyone do that when there's a summary? You ever listened to yourself, William? Beating. Beeeee-ting. 2 The word you're looking for is summary. A transcript is a word-by-word record. A short-handed transcript, I'm guessing, is a transcript that needs more employees. I know, William, it's the short-handed transcriber who makes you sound dull-minded again here. 3 I'm sure you're right. Listen, I have plenty of posts around here. Pick one and show me how it's done. Oh, and thanks for reading! 4 That's a mission statement for one of our schools.

  26. In the quiet of an offline conversation, Sarkisian is capable of expressing genuine disdain for the ATM football program. He’s not a fan of Elko either. A lot of it carries over from Fisher and Elko fucking the state of affairs for everyone while he was still at Bama. A lot of their bullshit about him with recruits and the media (feeding negative shit to their people in the media and the national guys) started when he was there and carried over to Texas. Fisher is a piece of human shit. Excluding Elko from that label for the time being, but he’s not some jolly kind man just because he’s fatter than Santa Claus. So it is funny to me that the aggie fanbase is so desperate to hate him. They have a pathological need to both deify their coaches and vilify the Texas coaches. Sarkisian will never say a negative thing about them in public, yet they’ll manufacture their anger because of some psychological shortcoming as a fanbase that only they possess. In any event, he gets them in ways it only took the bonfire game for Mack Brown to comprehend. I think he’s going to do everything he can to blow them out everytime Texas plays them.

  27. You methodically built up tremendous credibility on Surly over many years. It’s been an impressive run. But you just completely destroyed it all in one post. You are now on the level of Rocko, TxTow, and Helobious.
