  1. If I have a local business in Austin, and I want to pay Gunnar Helm $1 million to be in a commercial, I can't see any way where the NCAA can come in and say "Well, hold on, this cap has been reached, he can't get paid for your commercial". Maybe payments direct from the school get capped, but they can't and shouldn't regulate what an athlete might get paid for appearances, commercials, signing autographs, etc. Collectives would fall under this category and therefore shouldn't be subject to any cap
  2. Forgot about this kid Lucas Bergvall coming from Sweden. Is described like some sort of wunderkind. Just turned 18yo, box to box midfielder, we beat Barca for his signature. If he's good enough, maybe he adds to the midfield rotation. Article from the Athletic:
  3. If these Donley/Scarlett could really pan out over the next 2 ish years, that would be really nice. Donley as a backup 10, Scarlett as a CF reinforcement. That would be nice. Moore is 16, he's got a little time. Strikers are expensive though. That's a position that's really hard to find an under the radar, bargain player. I agree though, we definitely need to pony up for a striker. Then budget for the midfield.
  4. That's where being in Europe helps. If we want to or need to rest VDVs hamstring or push him to the left to rest Udogie, Dragusin is ready made to start a bunch of games
  5. Current starter level players (realize positions are fluid, but I'm putting players where they most often played) 9: Richarlison Wings: Sonny, Johnson, Kulu (backup Werner?) 10: Maddison 6/8: Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur LB: Udogie CB: VDV/Cuti (backup Dragusin) RB: Porro GK: Vicario Promising Youngsters that have been called into the first team: Moore, Donley, Scarlett (not entirely sure on their respective positions) Looks to me that we probably need to prioritize upgrading at the 9 and at the 6/8. Having a CDM that can protect against the counter when both full backs are up and inverted could shore up the defense. Need capable backups all over the place, but definitely at LB/RB, in the midfield, and at the 9. We have 3-4 (depending on Werner) wingers who are perfectly capable of executing their role in Ange-ball. This might be a good position to give the youngsters some playing time in the early stages of the cups/Europa. Kulu is also a Swiss army knife who can play RW, 10, or apparently even a false 9 type (against the likes of Sheffield at least) when he's in good form. And for the sake of my sanity, can we PLEASE do something about set pieces?! Thoughts on priority positions to upgrade?
  6. Pride of my hometown Weslaco Panthers Got to watch a game with him in Weslaco a few years ago up in the press box. Really cool to hear his UT stories.
  7. If you went to go watch the movie when it came out earlier this year, episode 1 of demon Slayer is exactly what was covered in the movie. If you didn't go watch the movie, then it's a really cool start to the season. MHA season 7 just kicked off as well, so two really good ones going on. Another one that's been highly recommended to me is Solo Leveling. I have heard REALLY good things about it from multiple people
  8. But the WCWS will. They're always going to have that home field advantage and we are going to have to beat them there.
  9. I have questions about Ange-ball and his unwillingness or inability to adjust... But I do appreciate having a manager who yells "STOP PASSING BACKWARDS" when he's furious.
  10. It's even better in person. The whole spectacle of a sumo tournament from the entrances, the salt throwing, the crowd reactions, an unexpected victory... It's all pretty awesome to see
  11. Pm futureman Or @NowThis
  12. I'll copy and paste!
  13. Wish I could. Heading from DFW to San Diego where the wife is already waiting for me 😅
  14. No update from Texas Football Twitter. An hour ago, they tweeted that the game is at 1pm CT
  15. I'm on a flight from OKC to DFW and we were diverted to Austin.
  16. We last made the tournament in 1986. Conference championships in 1955 and 2019. With a team full of players that likely grew up either Texas or Texas A&M fans. Uh, yeah, this is 100% the super bowl.
  17. By gawd, that's Jerry Jones's music!!!
  18. Or, after practicing with the guys that lost to App State (who lost to Troy), maybe he went, "you know, I think I can do better"
  19. Holy shit, we actually did it. Viva Vaqueros! ✌🏽✌🏽
  20. I'm really excited for football season. Coach Bush obviously has ties in the valley and has FCS coordinator success. He's all in trying to get the community on board and I think he's definitely going to have the support
  21. Only game I root against the Horns. Viva Vaqueros!!! ✌🏽 (God that sounds stupid, I miss when we were the Broncs)
  22. Is this supposed to be an insult? If so, the insult part is going over my head.
  23. Csb I was a freshman in high school that year. My computer science teacher was a Texas XC alum and avid recruiting follower. I was in his class that morning and he turned to me said "Perriloux signed with LSU. Now we're stuck with this fucking 2A quarterback." 😂
  24. https://www.instagram.com/p/C5B0pgnRTIw/?igsh=bWxvb2lsYTU3enR1 Neugebauer threw 17.26m in the shotput, NCAA record for shotput by a decathlete
  25. They better be glad they're in the SEC, because they wouldn't be the best Sun Belt team in the Sun Belt.
