  1. Well shit...do I have to be the first one to say it? Fine. Not SEC good.
  2. Yeah, leaking it today before it’s official made it pretty imperative to actually get the thing done. We got $9.95ers calling recruits asking them what “Texas to the SEC” would mean to them. Texas’ time with the Big12 probably died today, one way or another.
  3. Unless the prospect of playing for Texas in the SEC is more appealing to the Manning clan than the prospect of playing for Texas in the Big 12. Pretty sure we'd be allowed to recruit using the SEC no matter who we're battling.
  4. There is something to this I think (and also why it makes sense for Texas/OU to shop themselves as a package deal). If the SEC wants the entire college football world to keep revolving around them they need to add the two biggest free agents first and let the Big 10 and ACC fight over the scraps to counter.
  5. Guess the 5-star who said he would commit today wasn't anonymous, it was Evan Stewart.
  6. This dipshit, if you Google “Billy Luicci gif” the first thing is literally him whining about a flag (while eating a dick).
  7. Love the sentiment, but also let’s chill with that talk, anonymous 2022 5-star. Don’t want to spook anyone
  8. At the very least, it's really fun that Texas is a huge topic of conversation for the aggies at their SEC media day. It's their nightmare.
  9. Lol, the video is even better than the quote. Bjork is not happy.
  10. If I can get way ahead of myself here: The Big 12 contracts run until 2025, correct? On the off-chance this actually happened and was announced within the next few weeks, would we really see 4 seasons of a lame duck Big 12 playing out the string with Texas and OU or could we see the the move happen earlier?
  11. Straight cash homie Among other reasons like being able to tell which way the wind is blowing.
  12. Well at least they have plenty of time to make their next 100 year decision.
  13. I'm the wrong guy to ask for any inside knowledge, but seems reasonable that the Athletic Director would be heavily involved in discussions about changing conferences, no?
  14. It's pretty funny that today while this board has been hammering CDC for not having the stomach to compete on an elite level in cfb the story breaks that he's (reportedly) been been operating in silence on a plan to move Texas to the SEC.
  15. Well he's right about one thing. If it happened it would be tipping point to trigger the inevitable 4 team super conference setup. The other conferences couldn't just stand pat and watch the SEC add Texas and OU without at least trying to counter. Of course he's wrong that we'd need the Armageddon to happen to join. We'd be causing it by our own choice.
  16. From the immediate reactions this may be exactly correct. The story says an announcement could happen in "a matter of weeks" so talks have been happening for a bit but no way they wanted the story out yet. This leak would only help to scuttle things.
  17. Um, holy fucking shit? Also, a story this huge and Zwerneman breaks it? Seems unlikely
  18. I really doubt Nahlin has any insider knowledge he's basing this on, but:
  19. This may have already been posted/discussed elsewhere, but I had no idea that Cat Osterman still played and was on the current Olympic team: https://theathletic.com/2715792/2021/07/20/2021-olympics-softball-cat-osterman/
  20. The DC hire is sort of what I go back to whenever I need another shot of Kool-Aid. It has the potential to be as good as the Watson hire was terrible. The internet reaction of Husky fans when it was announced was really something. Sark's first DC hire as a head coach, Nick Holt, wasn't great. He had his best Washington season once Holt was fired and he hired Wilcox who went to USC with him. It's sort of hard to take away anything from that short USC stint with everything else that was going on. Wilcox is solid but as a defensive coordinator and playcaller I don't feel like he's on the level of Coach K. If PK is as good as advertised (and Sark keeps his personal stuff in check) this shit is going to work. Goddammit, it's got to work right?
  21. Every slorch post makes me think of this for some reason:
  22. Coach speak is only a problem once you start losing and then the team’s message board starts meme-ing the hell out of it. Saban is constantly doing shit like lecturing the Alabama beat reporters for not taking the Citadel seriously enough as an opponent.
