  1. This is what happens when bumpkins find money.
  2. Fun fact - Mathis, a dude that had 4 sacks last season, will make more than everyone but the head coach and OC on the Nebraska staff.
  3. Let's all say it together - "There is no such thing as true NIL to the NCAA".
  4. You're misunderstanding my point. All of these efforts matter. They've had a major impact in recruiting talent to Austin. They've very good things. I'm saying that structuring these NIL deals in a way that conforms with existing NCAA regulations doesn't seem to matter to the NCAA. What's going to happen is that boosters are going to give millions to an "NIL collective" which will then have the opportunity to recoup those investments with individual NIL deals. And whether or not those investments are recouped will not matter.
  5. I mean, yeah, ideally. But the NCAA has already shown it's not going to police this in any meaningful way. That's why Aggy's laughable "NIL" shenanigans in the last class are going to go completely unpunished. I know you've done a ton of work to keep things on the up-and-up. And it's very commendable. But it doesn't seem to matter.
  6. I wonder if the thinking was that giving Mathis $600k+ sets an unrealistic floor of what players should expect to be paid at Texas. If it gets out that that Texas paid him that much, then Jaylan Ford and Alfred Collins and Kitan Crawford are all gonna think they deserve that much. Etc. That's too high a price to pay. But it doesn't really matter because they're still gonna say "Mathis got that much from Nebraska. You should pay me the same or I'll find someone that will." Shit's bananas out there....
  7. Closest rain gauge on hydromet says we got 1.04 inches last night around 1:30am. I slept through it all and I'll fucking take it. Edit: minutes after I posted this it started to rain outside. Into it.
  8. In free agency there are contracts. With the portal there are no contracts. It’s chaos. The plus side is that we are probably the most insulated program against this stuff in college football if we can figure this shit out. But there’s the rub… Also, other teams need to want our players. So it hasn’t really been a problem for us.
  9. There is typically exceptionally-high quality South Austin MILF scenery at El Alma. Which makes sense because if there was ever a restaurant created for women, it's El Alma. Total chick restaurant. I'll endorse Matt's (with food) and Guerro's (without food), and add Perla's and Fresa's (just don't order a $30 roasted when you can get a better one down the street at El Pollo Rico for $10)
  10. Did you get drunk at dinner? If so, that would explain why she was driving and why you totally overreacted. Just go with "I got drunk at dinner" and leave it at that.
  11. I use Marcella Hazan's basic red sauce recipe because she knew more about this shit than I do and it's easy as fuck. Good canned tomatoes, onion, butter, salt. That's it. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015178-marcella-hazans-tomato-sauce But, as is the case with any sauce, church it up however you want. Want to leave the onions in? Cool! Pull em out and pop em in a blender and throw them back in the sauce. I've done that before. I've made it with garlic. I've thrown fresh basil in there or even dried italian seasoning. I've put a cup of wine in and let it reduce. Whatever. But really, it doesn't need to get more complicated than this.
  12. One kid saying she saw her mom pinch her sister and intentionally exclude the sister is not enough to overcome all the other questionable bullshit associated with this case to create a firm foundation for "beyond a reasonable doubt". There's still a fuckton of reasonable doubt here. But since you're a "white men have it hard these days and brown people have it easy" guy I know I'm not going to convince you otherwise. Anyway, glad her execution was stayed.
  13. Because he might be a flake? And also, looks like Guilbeau is gone this year. Not next.
  14. Apparently Fitlump rents a shitty apartment and the rent is going up $500 a month and she's upset. She's gotta be the only council member that doesn't own her own home
  15. Been raining pretty steadily since 8am here at Bill Cannon and West Gate.
  16. Yep. You should call the NCAA about this egregious violation of rules. Free ice cream?!?! This will not stand!
  17. I'm supposed to wait four fucking weeks for a goddamn mexican pizza? Who do they think I am? The fucking pope?
  18. I make a potato/leek/gruyere quiche that fucking slams if I'm inspired enough to make the pie crust. But normally i just buy the Pillsbury pre-made one, and then it's just really fucking good.
  19. Aggy gonna boycott The Athletic. From mandel's latest Q&A: Stewart- with Georgia finally getting the proverbial monkey off their back this past season, what program replaces them as the school who’s the most “overdue” to win a national championship based on expectations from their fan base, national media, etc.? Nebraska quickly comes to mind, but at 25 years I’m not sure they’ve waited long enough to make that claim. Stuart F. I know some people will say Texas A&M, but Texas A&M to me is not akin to Georgia. The Aggies’ one and only national title was so long ago the games weren’t yet televised, and it’s not like they’ve been knocking on the door for several years like Kirby Smart was. And whereas Georgia fans had been expecting national titles ever since the last one, I feel like that didn’t really become a thing for A&M fans until at least Johnny Manziel, if not Jimbo. The answer is Notre Dame. It’s been 34 years. While many (perhaps including Brian Kelly himself) believe the Irish will never realistically win another one, their fans certainly still expect it. As an independent, it’s the only trophy the Irish have to play for. And this is not a Nebraska/Miami/Tennessee situation where the program has fallen completely off the map. Notre Dame reached the Playoff two of the past four seasons. The Irish have finished the season No. 12 or higher in six of the past seven seasons. That means they’re in the mix. I could list any number of other national championship programs — USC, Florida and Texas come to mind — that have the resources and the recruiting footprint to do it again, but the longest drought for any of them is USC at 18 years. Notre Dame’s is nearly twice that long. Notre Dame’s is an actual monkey.
  20. 1) I don't think you can "develop" a killer instinct. You've either got it or you don't. 2) I hope the Neyor stuff ends up being bullshit. I would rather have Neyor than Hall and his baggage, regardless of potential.
  21. MF cut that brisket with one of these
  22. Does anyone know what the fuck they're hinting at here? I hate when they do this "wink-wink" shit. The "program fit" thing makes sense, but who is going to be a better option than a 5-star sophomore? Shit, On3 had him as the number 11 overall recruit in the class.
  23. The novelty will not wear off. They WILL be shit-shows forever.
  24. Yes. fuck today's wordle indeed. Wordle 300 4/6 ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
