The state of College Football - Bitch Thread
The 1 year contracts and Demond Williams situation are two totally different issues. Regarding 1 year contracts, there's nothing that can be done in the current framework and I'm not convinced there should be anything done. They're adult Americans and should be free to move just like anyone else. It sucks that we all have nostalgia for when they were restricted laborers but that's what it was. What can be done is schools signing multi-year rev share contracts with players, but then the schools have to risk signing a bust to multiple seasons. Which relates to Williams. Now that schools can directly pay players as part of revenue sharing, that is how that situation should be regulated. If he signed a revenue sharing agreement with Washington for the 2026 college football season in exchange for playing there then he should be locked in by signed contract and whoever tampered him into the portal should be sued for tortious interference. From there the NCAA can have teeth (ha). Let's say it's LSU. Washington sues LSU for tortious interference and wins. Then the NCAA can use that verdict and the evidence from the case to punish LSU, make Williams ineligible to play for LSU, etc. Washington only directly gets damages (plus punitive) but the NCAA could require interfering schools to pay 10x any damages in a future rule set.

If he goes to Indiana it's a Cignetti move. If he goes to Texas he's an Indiana castoff reject. Read the room.

I'm not saying it isn't a miss that we couldn't get any of 3 of our big targets away from their school (Brown, Baugh even having his position coach, Guarnera) and I've been as loud as anyone about the terrible job Flood has done (and when he combines with Harris then portal OL business becomes a cluster). But damn some of y'all act stupid around here every time something you thought was going to happen doesn't happen.

Texas's without question. Why the fuck would we want a class where so much is allocated to a QB who would just back up here? This isn't as snarky an answer as you think, it's pointing out that when you let your emotions take over you start asking stupid questions you think are brilliant, like whether Texas fans would prefer the class with or without millions of dollars allocated to a mid QB.

MLB umpiring thread
The more amazing thing is that it's taken 28 years since everyone watched that until we have some automation. Don't get me wrong, at the time my 20-year-old ass was enjoying the hell out of it and laughing it up as an Astros fan that had dealt with the Maddux/Glavine strike zone for years. But it was insane.

2026 Texas Coaching/ Support Staff Thread
If Gideon doesn't work out then John Harbaugh has DB coach experience and he's available now. Why can't Sark hire guys whose name I know?!?!?

I generally agree with the conventional wisdom that you can't tell anything from preseason and intrasquad scrimmages. But I'll be damned if that picture of Stroh about to fall on his face as one of our DTs swam around him in half a second from this fall(?) wasn't one of the most predictive images of an upcoming season I've ever seen.

I know nothing about this guy. But an Iowa team captain safety seems like a useful piece to go after. Plus if our OL doesn't get straightened out he is already experienced in playing hard when the offense sucks.

That's the most damning thing I've heard about Harris (and this obviously isn't the first time we've heard it). Being lazy or generally incompetent should not be tolerated in any position and especially not one like GM of course, but for that position specifically having the quality of always being 100% confident in obtaining your targets and therefore never developing sufficient contingency plans is actively damaging to the organization. And he's done it multiple years on multiple fronts.

People around here like to complain about Texas not spending money that it has and now we're seeing suggestions of doing something like this instead of just buying a prospect and his dad two round trip tickets from Laramie to Austin? For fuck's sake, flying someone in to make sure of everything in person instead of trusting them from 900 miles away is exactly what you do if you have money to spend.

Well that and they missed the part where going all in doesn't guarantee you win the current hand, let alone the whole competition.

At this point you would think other schools would start using their loudmouth approach against them. "Man those guys are well known to be offering everyone huge NIL packages with that billionaire buying out Times Square and that's all they're offering you? Must not want you very badly."

At some point with transfers it's not worth believing anything is decided until they're enrolled and listed on the roster. And that will only work 90% of the time.

So as usual one of the possible logical deductions from A&M excitement is that they misread things? For Christ's sake he is basically saying in that post that Coleman wasn't planning to visit Lubbock before he went to College Station but now he is. And that means they locked him up? Just as likely to mean that he's thinking "shit, I need to find a second place I might actually want to go for leverage with Texas." Again, I don't know shit about fuck but you get it for free.
