  1. One of the most ridiculous "Corps traditions" is that they wear their pretend military uniforms at graduation, even if they aren't going into the military.

    I went to a family member's graduation that was also the commissioning ceremony for those graduates receiving their military commissions. They were dressed in the uniform of whatever branch of the military they were entering. They received their degree from atm, and then their commission as an officer in whatever branch they were entering. All branches of the military were represented. That part of the ceremony was impressive and patriotic, and I felt grateful for all those deciding to serve their country. But I was dumbfounded to see all these corps turds wearing their pretend army costumes instead of a cap and gown, but not having the balls or the patriotism to serve their country.

    My opinion of corps turds was already pretty low, but it certainly went down after that ceremony.

    So...the only two schools with firsthand knowledge of Hall's culture issues are the two finalists for a guy like him? Hampton must be one seriously talented player. 

    Texas and Alabama know how to give a talented kid with issues a chance to mature.

    They also know how to get rid of a kid if the issues outweigh production on the field.

    Wow, I can't think of a single reason why Parker Livingstone would be paired up with a QB, Edge, and a Safety. What could the reason possibly be?

    It makes perfect sense for Manning to build up a relationship with a possible receiver.

    Livingstone requested Vacek and Taafe because he is considering a transfer to Westlake.

    Deadline shopping list:

    1. SP4 

    2. Above average bat capable of playing 1B/LF (preferably LH)

    3. High leverage RP

    All 3 can be rentals and it might actually be better if they are.  Next year’s rotation could be full with Framber, Brown, Javier, France, Urquidy, and possibly Garcia/McCullers.  Plus both Bielak and Whitley will be out of options.  If they think Gilbert will be ready then the bat they get should also probably be a rental.  
     

    I wouldn’t want to give up any of their top prospects so I think they should shop in the 2nd and 3rd tier of the trade market.  More than outside help, they just need their existing roster to get healthy and produce.

    After the playoffs expanded to 12 teams from 10, the deadline trade market is vastly different from what we are accustomed to.

    There are more teams that have a chance at the playoffs, thus more buyers. There are fewer teams that are out of the playoffs, thus fewer sellers.

    It is going to be much more expensive to make a deal. Your shopping list of 3 players would probably do more long term harm than short term good.

  5. Gotta win to get the recruits, but gotta get the recruits to win.

    In some ways, the ceiling for the Class of 24 is already set. Getting to 9 or 10 wins last year would have helped with a few of these recruitments. Beating Alabama and/or getting to the Big 12 CG would have been huge. We have to hope most of our targets are willing to wait until after the season before committing to someone else. For some, it's already too late.

    Winning 10 games AND winning the Big 12 CG are necessary to get the Class of 25 we all hope for.
