    From what I recall about that class as well is that after we won there were tons of recruits who were knocking on the door to try and come here but Mack didn't want to be the bad cop so to say and recruit over good kids.

    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.

    Way more aggys. Far too many Sooners as well. 
     

    Most college graduates are going to move to nearest major city with jobs. Fortunately / unfortunately that’s been Houston since the 90s. 
     

    I will say it feels like the LSU grads are moving elsewhere for work. Most of the LSU folks I know are well into their 30s and up. 

    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.

  3. 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.

    That’s not the guy. Everyone here already knows who the guys are that they were hoping to see unless you’re just willfully ignorant. 

    It’s not to say that Brown or somebody else won’t interest them, but the guys they’ve been thinking could portal to them have been Kentucky, Georgia, and ATM guys. None have entered the portal unless it happens today. Hasn’t been kept a secret from this board, and it’s a more informed position than anything Eric fucking Nahlin is saying. 

    Sounds like we need to up our tampering game!

    2024 is a much weaker class in-state than any of the last 3. 

    At OL, there’s Daniel Cruz and then developmental guys. 

    At DT, the January guy is probably a take for the class because he’s a legacy and could develop. That’s about it. 

    The edge guy from Duncanville will be a pure “NIL” based auction. Not much behind him either. 

    They need to land their top targets in-state and then win with the national targets. Losing Woodyard isn’t a good start. This class runs the risk of being a top 15-ish class unless they close really well and/or win big on the field. 

    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.

    Perhaps your letting you alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass?

    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.

    We can be very small sometimes.

    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.

  8. 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.
