  1. Your giving me way too much credit. I just hit copy and paste....
  2. In response to the Nolen post. They are clueless. Tejas Ag 10 12:18p, 1/17/24 He had another year left on his NIL deal. Which meant we still owed his marketing rights to his NIL for 2024. Thats probably what he was referencing. It wasnt the easiest for him to find a school or pay for those rights plus pay him on top of that. evestor13:06p, 1/17/24 heard he had his car towed away on day 1 of transfer portal. that said - NIL is only good for the contract. if the contract says you have to stay...then you have to stay. Seems to me that pinpointing a school like he did is not smart from a legal standpoint. he would be better to point fingers at generalities and not entities that could come after you. Bill Superman5:28p, 1/17/24 This clown thought he could collect big upfront then transfer and collect big again, not realizing he signed a contract with a clawback where he has to return a big chunk of his pay. GDP 6:51p, 1/17/24 Walter's NIL deal was not the typical one where little is required of the player. My understanding is that his deal was for the entirety of his college career and some time/personal services requirements were in the contract. When he entered the portal and started flirting with Oregon and Ole Miss, he was reminded about that part of his contract and that he could be required to make appearances in BCS during the season. Easy when you play for A&M, not so easy from Oregon or Mississippi. I don't know if Oxford big cigars bought out his NIL deal from here but that would be the logical assumption. A bit of a Mexican standoff for awhile I bet. I hope we pulled the remainder of his NIL funds due to not finishing his contract and sent a message that its pay-for-play at A&M and we are done with the guaranteed contracts with no return on investment
  3. I really need to get around to watching Oppenheimer...
  4. Hmm I don't 9.95 at all but did Sydir Mitchell get hit by a bus or something? I mean seriously some of you sound like you've caught whatever is wrong Satyanash when you go on and on about we have to get a DT and a TE in the portal...
  5. FIFY BTW my uncle told me for years that easy rider and the graduate were great movies....I disagree strongly....
  6. With all due respect to one of the greatest bagmen in history....72 year old Pete Carrol doesn't scare me.
  7. My mother told me about that. Course she also had to put on a dress to walk across campus for PE and then change.
  8. Somebody tell Lane that's a Watusi....not a longhorn...
  9. My dad was disappointed I had my SS card in my wallet when he took me to UT on a campus visit because "it's dumb to carry that around with you when you could lose it, just memorize the number for crying out loud!"
  10. In response to all these quotes @RGBIII did state that Bond was the WR we have been waiting on. Make of that what you will. Quote below from page 140 I believe. Maybe that is just there has been a rumor that Bond was looking around, no idea.
  11. Correction...I know exactly what my 1st semester grades were....but only because my father called me into the den and proceeded to read my grades off to me disapprovingly and then ask if I felt those were acceptable grades for the money they were paying for my education. I had the lack of good sense to smile at him and say I had a bunch of scholarships and we got a refund check from the University so he didn't pay anything for those grades....I was digging post holes in 28 degree weather the next morning that I don't think we ever actually used to build fence....
  12. But again who cares...at that point it was done and you typically had a pretty good idea what you made in a class anyways? I can honestly say I never checked my grades...I didn't even check em when they came in the mail. I was pretty certain what I had regardless.
  13. I still don't get this checking grades thing....grades showed up in the mail and you knew if they were good or not by your parent's reaction.....
  14. I can't say for sure at this point.....but I somehow doubt Fred Aker's 1 season at Wyoming put him at the top of the list of potential coaches. I am certain there were others we were interested in that had no interest in following Royal.
  15. We went through it replacing Mack....and Royal.....and heck when we hired Royal our primary targets all said no thanks and recommended Royal.
  16. Elko looks like Bobby Petrino after the motorcycle got done with him....
  17. It wasn't an appearance thing on Sark...more the he's been around forever surely he is older than that.
  18. I got a minor in history because of TEX.....that and it raised my GPA A LOT.
  19. Didn't someone on here post one time that they thought Cronkite was the voice for TEX?
  20. You miss the part where all institutions in the NCAA have basically ceded the right for the NCAA to police them, they can't sue the NCAA for enforcement. It's not that the NCAA doesn't have power over the schools, its that for the past 2 decades they basically haven't done anything to show it. By your logic the NCAA would have no authority over some random booster flat out paying players to go to school. Also, based off what has come out, the coach who is suspended for 3 games and has a show cause on him now at the very least knew about the illegal payments and may very well have been involved in the process.
