  1. Who else would we have gotten? That class also looks like it has a huge bust rate, I don't recognize hardly any of those USC guys.
  2. InsideTexas just got some Polynesian Ties! https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/inside-texas-welcomes-jake-langi-a-15-year-cfb-veteran-and-former-texas-player-personnel-analyst/
  3. Jimbo cooled on them after watching their senior tape. They were bad culture fits as well.
  4. Does seem like more would've come out by now, just through the grapevine?
  5. I went to University Lab on the LSU campus for high school. It seemed like everyone I knew was a Baton Rouge lifer whose family had been there for decades and never planned to leave, LSU alum or no. Something like 65% of my graduating class went to LSU. The Tulane, SE-LA, LA-Monroe, etc grads still came home and were still all in on LSU - that's how I envisioned how someone who grew up in CS would be. However, I graduated HS in 2008 and have not been back since, nor have I really spent much time as an adult in Houston post college, so I'm probably a bad source.
  6. Having lived on the East Coast for ten years now, I have met exactly zero people not from Texas who could tell you where in Texas CS is. However, when I say I’m from Austin and went to school there, everyone knows. I did always figure that CS was like Baton Rouge, in that everyone just stays there, forever, but A&M is a much bigger school than LSU so I guess they can’t all just live there.
  7. Basically just confirmed that's who he's watching for "Just a hunch, they would pursue if he enters." etc.
  8. If you have any sort of representation and you sign an illegal contract (which by necessity almost has no remedy for breach)worth 13 million you have a viable suit against your representation. And you're also a dumbass.
  9. Seems like a good kid. Someone tell him his twitter likes are public.
  10. It was already heading that way (for athletes, not just football) when I lived there in 09-10. Clint Chapman was passed out in an elevator on a Sunday morning when I went to do laundry.
  11. I come to Surly for your stuff so I mean this with all due respect, but didn't we start off last cycle behind on a lot of guys that we ended up landing? I thought I remembered you writing that. I understand that this year was deeper in state and that's an advantage for us.
  12. From a source: “Boutte and a recruiting coordinator had sex that weekend. She was dismissed and Boutte was punished and decided to quit.”
  13. I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Texas was national championship good my first two years in school (08 and 09) and has been mediocre to bad ever since. I don't think I have ever had the opportunity to boast to anyone about anything in like twelve years. I also have not experienced these alleged BMOC/chest-thumping Texas fans that I always seem to hear about - every Texas fan I've known for twelve years has been mostly cynical or at the very worst hopeful. Maybe it's because I haven't lived in Texas for a decade? I don't know. But I would, sincerely, like people to shut the fuck up with the "Texas is back!" and "lol, Kansas" type of shit, and the only way to do that is for Texas to win. TCU winning likely prolongs the take apocalypse that surrounds Texas football, so I'm against it.
  14. I find it incredibly embarrassing that a small private school with no alumni base and nowhere near our financial resources is in the championship while we’re wondering if our star receiver who can’t catch will transfer. It would be more embarrassing for them to win it. After twelve years, I am reduced to rooting for Texas to win and others to lose almost solely so people shut the fuck up.
  15. Fuck TCU. Most annoying team to lord over us in our 12 years in the desert. Go Dawgs.
  16. By old standards, Simmons would seem like someone we could not get because LSU and Aggie and Bama would just turn it into a bidding war. NIL changed that?
  17. What do we do, exactly? Bow out of every auction recruiting situation for the last 20 years in the name of hubris etc?
  18. Not worth it. He's a good coach but he's not Coach K. He's been charged with a felony and has embarrassed the University, both grounds to fire for cause in his contract. Spare me the 'but it will be litigated,' no shit. It is absolutely not worth the optics to have this + Morris following the team around, and it is beneath UT to play games with stuff like this. If he's this volatile and stays with her, there's also no guarantee that something like this doesn't happen again. Criminal innocence or guilt is irrelevant to firing him. Just settle his buyout and start the coaching search.
