    I didn’t even know we could set the spacing to justified 

    Is my post fucked up? I accidentally hit one of the edit functions before I started typing and it justified all the way to the right. I knew that was wrong, so I clicked another (far left) and it seemed ok 🤣. Sorry ‘bout that… (as I look at the current setting, default is the second from the left)

    (OK, I see my prior post is awfully uniform 😀.)

  2. I’m always surprised to hear people talk about “legacies” being locks (or leans). when the dads seemingly have very little to do with the Texas athletic program. I think Jermichael has been somewhat involved with us lately, but he’s not exactly Derrick Johnson or Huff. And I could be completely off base, but I can’t recall James Lott ever being involved in the last three plus decades (he was actually a much more successful track and field athlete than football player, so maybe he does T&F stuff and I don’t pay much attention to that). If Vince or Colt or DJ or any other Longhorn with active ties to UT ever has a stud athlete child that dismisses us, then I’ll be surprised. But I’m not too perplexed Finley or Lott (maybe) are headed elsewhere. Doesn’t mean I don’t think the hat toss wasn’t a shit move by Finley.

    I don’t follow the daily ups and downs that closely, but Ojo stating publicly a few months ago that he was Texas’s priority OT/OL in this class, given how long the staff had been on Turntine, was off-putting at the time and made me lukewarm on him (that was the first time I’d heard his name). 

    Give me the guy that didn’t feel any need to respond to Ojo’s statement, who is a better actual player, and who was choosing between Texas, Michigan and Stanford (probably the top three I’d encourage my kid to consider) every day of the week. That’s an easy pick.

    And yeah, I get that people are more annoyed that his bullshit may have cost the program other guys than they are about not getting him specifically. But I’m also not worried that Sark/Flood/Texas will figure it out.

    Pretty good take for a drunkard

    Posting that number publicly is a recipe for some bad feelings in the locker room.   

    Yep, I promise you existing Tech OL are texting each other, “u see that shit?”

    Funny thing is, Ojo is skinny as fuck, too. I assumed he was a much bigger guy than Turntine, and that was why he was shooting past him on the 9.95 er rankings, but it’s probably wingspan/height, not bulk. I suspect it will be a couple years before he adds adequate weight, but with this ridiculous contract, will Tech be willing to wait that long?  Oh yeah, don’t give a fuck. Really stupid offer.

  5. It’s also July 4. We haven’t lost shit, yet. Nor won anything. I’ll be extra concerned if deep into the season (when W-L records and funds are examined for legitimacy) we aren’t pulling in the players we need to continue to compete with the Georgias and Ohio States of the CFB world. I really like many of the recruits who have pledged a “commitment” so far, and if the season plays out like I expect it to, if the Texas checks continue to cash (they will) and if Simmons/Goosbys/etc develop as they should, our coaches will have a great sales pitch, likely far better than just about any program.

  6. On OTF he said he brings versatility as a LB, but admitted he sees himself as more of an edge. His coaches talked about how the concept of “positionless football” was perfect for Kosi. I’m glad we beat out Penn State, because they would seem to have a great track record to sell, with Parsons/Abdul Carter as prototypes. His tape is great, deserves more hype as a pick-up.

    I really like Okpala's tape. Sorry for going off topic.

    Mayde Creek has him on the edge mostly but he looks athletic enough to move side-to-side. If he can learn the position, he's going to be a real menace playing MLB at about 6'2", 230.

    I want that kid to move in with Derrick Johnson and learn everything he can, he seems to already have the tomahawk chop. Thanks for the link to his Hudl, very impressive player

    Kosi Okpala - Breaker of Dark Streaks, Uplifter of Fucktarded Forums

    The guy has great size and I assume is from a west African family, which usually translates pretty fucking well to the Texas football program as a culture fit. I'll take it.

    What the fuck has this board gone to since I took my mental health exodus? 

    I miss cat facts and Charleston talk 

    You didn’t go anywhere,  you just created Boko Bevo or whatever hell the name is, because no one else would stan for Spider2YBanana 🤣

    (Just screwing with you, and even though the relentless shitposting at 4 in the morning on multiple threads gets weird, hope you’re managing life ok.)

    Saban got a “Saban discount” for players going to Alabama for years. We don’t have the track record to sell that yet…but we’re pretty close. Put double digits into the draft again this season and that is a sales pitch. That being said that might be a hell of a task this year. 
     

    Muhammad, taffe, Hill, goosby, the transfer TE, who else?
