  1. There’s a conversation in the Transfer thread about the merits of titty pics and whatnot in commits’ pages, so before it’s verboten, let me break out my vintage photo of Faye Dunaway from the 60’s with one of the great camel toes known to stretch pants. Oh yeah, yay Jay’Vion!

  2. Oh shit, @immamac is gonna need to go break up a rumble at the OTF site, or at least Bobby Burton will need to write another sternly worded post: one old pulled out his Big Book of 1950’s Insults and called ‘25 recruit Jordon Davison a “pansy” for allegedly leaving Texas out of his Top 4 due to competition concerns. Now, the other posters are calling the pansy-pointer a meanie.

  3. Nothing against the guy, but perhaps the least impactful portal loss possible. (Max isn’t going anywhere, so that one’s not “possible.”)

    Always seemed like an odd take, a throwback to the Ben Davis/Ray Thornton days where we took guys from successful programs and hoped they would become a contributor, even when the past didn’t suggest that would be the case. Those guys may have helped with the “culture” install, but it seems we now have that part down pretty well. Stating the obvious, our portal takes need to be immediate contributors to justify taking a spot from badass HS recruits who want to jump in the boat.

    Good luck, Kendrick.

  4. You all sound like a bunch of poopy heads.

    I know in the past, Rick has bemoaned needing to walk that fine line between running a free-wheeling board and his increasing interaction with the powers that be (NIL has just increased that need). Bobby long ago made the choice to go clean, likely because he is part of the machine and deals with guys like CDC all the time.

    Imma wanted content creation. Bobby needed a web platform. Marriage made in G-Rated Heaven.

    I don’t really post over there, or quite frankly, open many of the threads since many are 80 year olds typing with one finger, finally venturing out into this new internet thing with the cheerleader posts (“We love you Jerry!”). Worse yet, there are several LTx wannabes who think their every thought is thread worthy (sometimes creating multiple threads for the same subject). I think some see the board as an opportunity to act like a moderator/expert.

  5. Ewers will obviously need to have an effective year, but he demonstrated during the Texas Pro Day the arm talent to be a high first rounder. That was a brilliant move by Sark to get him that experience. It also gave the scouts and coaches in attendance a preview.

  6. 12 minutes ago, Texzilla588 said:

    All teams have a UDFA game. They’ll usually sign more of them than have draftees.

    With only 7 rounds now it’s critical. Wasn’t that long ago there were 12 rounds. When I was a kid there were 17. So there are udfas that will be starters. Same as early picks that will fail quick.

    Time is relative but the Draft moved to 7 rounds 30 years ago. I’m getting up there myself, and 1994 doesn’t seem like a long time ago, but the math says otherwise. 😂
