  1. Haha, I thought the same thing. You don't typically have the chance make a crow hop when making an in-game throw.
  2. He was there right before Dodge, correct? A guy like him makes sense to me as a fit. Lots of experience and generally respected but P5 teams aren't exactly banging down his door for interviews. If he wants one more chance at a relatively high profile HC job this is probably it. If he fails in a few years he'll just immediately get another staff job. It's not like his career has a rocket ship upward trajectory to protect.
  3. Yeah probably right it just seemed weird to me that Gerry wouldn't just use the direct quote if he was going to paraphrase it to "I'm just not good enough".
  4. The demands were getting rid of the EOT with a sub-bullet point to stop requiring athletes to stay and sing it. I've always taken that to mean they pretty much knew asking the University to dump the EOT altogether was a reach. You're right, he loses the thread and confuses the issue by bringing up the lyrics. There are outright attacks on his character in this thread though. Certainly that is based on more than "should be more clear and focused in his talking points during Skype interviews"
  5. We didn't, Gerry had an interesting note about that today: I'm not sure exactly what to make of "he said, and I'm not going to quote him" though.
  6. Doubt it would matter much for them considering it's Jimbo's offense and I typically don't hear much about him as a recruiter.
  7. If I am correctly parsing whatever you are actually trying to say, I'm completely sure your 98% percent number is 100% made up by you. Facts, not feelings do matter after all. Like I said, go for it, he mostly brought it on himself but it's still funny.
  8. It's pretty funny the amount of real estate DD takes in some of your heads but by all means keep dunking on him if it makes y'all feel good. God knows he has been pretty annoying in this thread. Pretty embarrassing for you guys to keep harping on Sterns though. Yeah, he's not good at football and we'll likely be better without him on the field, but what about this is so offensive to you guys?
  9. Harrell would be insane to jump at a Kansas offer at this point in his career.
  10. Putting the word "recruit" into this post doesn't make this thread the right place for it. I've read most of the report this morning, the school did a really good job in putting together the committee and report. Unless there is another shoe to drop I can't imagine much recruiting impact. Like @Michael Knight mentioned upthread, I think it could actually all be used as an example of the University taking its athletes' concerns sincerely. Good recruiters on the staff have plenty to point to if it's ever even brought up by a HS kid.
  11. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30184792/texas-players-stay-field-eyes-texas-win-baylor The last bullet point of the letter that started all of this was lifting the requirement of athletes to sing the song
  12. SIAP on a different thread, but what the shit? Entire article is really something: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/us/politics/josh-hawley.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage
  13. Yeah, this. If we could lock in the supposed leans soon and have Campbell, Banks, and Robertson in the boat that would be amazing. Would set a really high floor for that position after last year. Then fill the rest of the class with 2 or 3 out of Dewberry, Hudson, Neto, Agbo, late risers, whoever. And shoot your shot with Rice and the other big OOS guys as long as the entire class doesn't depend on them.
  14. Two Manning questions: - Regarding the sister, she'll be playing college volleyball somewhere, right? Is she Texas good at VB? - Holy shit, Cooper's youngest son is listed as a 6'8 273 pound HS freshman lineman? What the fuck, even assuming those numbers are inflated that's a huge 15 year old. https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/heid-manning/WwUFmJYlEeqAzqREozo6lw/default.htm
  15. It's been mentioned but Eli could have easily ended up here. The Manning family has always had a solid relationship with UT and things with Arch specifically are aligning pretty nicely. I think you have to take the field over Texas but give me UT's odds as equal or better than any other school right now. I'm most surprised to see his contact with Ole Miss described as "a little bit". I thought they were one of the biggest threats along with Bama, and Clemson.
  16. Like any story it needs oxygen to live, it will get some additional run when the report is published tomorrow but I don't expect it will contain any bombshells that will fundamentally change where we were two weeks ago before the Tribune article was published. Sark was hired and immediately said that the Eyes was the school song and it will be sung after games. None of the current members of the team had any pushback and opposing coaches weren't able to use that soundbite to keep him from coming out of the gate hot in recruiting. If we can collectively keep from losing our shit this week it will all be fine.
  17. A fraternity? Just kidding to any of you bros, just a good natured dig from a GDI.
  18. Whether Mark Hardwick is personally in a position to offer Josh Thompson a job isn’t really the point though.
  19. Great stuff. It’s like whatever happens during the course of the day this thread has to find a way to revert back to dipshittery equilibrium.
  20. Y’all aren’t wrong to go after anyone implying that Sam did anything wrong after OU but I sure hope y’all were using this amazing ability to place things in context to defend the players that weren’t out there as well. As I remember it most on this thread were calling those guys drama queens, babies, and shitty teammates when that dumb picture came out with little pushback. Even after the details around it were made clear.
