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.

Impressive, pops in the conference that is 0-7 in postseason games against other P4 conferences this season if you exclude us.

I see the issue. You use the same word "we" to refer to three different groups in this single paragraph. And none of them are the Texas football program.

Transfer TE Michael Masunas
Exactly. Pairing q blocking TE with a better receiving TE is now a genius level innovation that could only be conceived by Cignetti!

Oh Jesus Christ now we're going to see things called Cignetti moves? Lulz

This is my favorite part of sports message boards. Fans complaining about early results compared to what fan expectations were. You know, the fan expectations that were driven by insider info from insiders whose info was wrong that created the disappointment in the first place. It's a weird self-propelling vortex of crying. "Insiders told us that we would get all these guys and we were targeting only one DL but we didn't get these guys they were wrong about that but we were definitely only targeting one DL why would they be wrong about that oh my god what are we doing wrong somebody think of the children?!?"

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
That's probably what he is (except it's likely a 2027 signing/draft pick they're banking on) but that's a lot more of a shot than a 7th round pick usually gets.

Transfer K Gianni Spetic
Well unless you consider your coach never allowing you to even attempt a kick over 50 yards an indication. Leg strength isn't the only important thing, obviously, but that seems like an important omission. I can't figure out how you'd miss that and only see the positives of a guy who signed with A&M, though. Weird. Put it together with his first season: Those stats seem to be a guy who made a 50 yarder, his coach let him try one more, then said never again. So let's look at that 50 yarder: (1:00 mark if it doesn't queue) Low line drive he puts everything into and it barely gets there. Let's double check. Here's the next week's attempt from 54: (15:35 mark) So there's your answer, A&M got a very accurate kicker with a weak leg. In 2024 Illinois stopped letting him kick anything past about 46 yards. They used Ethan Moczulski for kickoffs last year. This year he strengthened up and kicked off, managing only 51 touchbacks out of 67 KOs which I'm pretty sure includes fair catches. Plus he kicked two out of bounds when he muscled up. Don't get me wrong, high accuracy from 45 and in is valuable. But saying this guy is better than Spetic is speculative at best.

Great find, man. Happy for you.

I was just pointing out that all your negatives are based on your wishcasting that Texas can just tamper any player in the country into the portal. What my post presupposes is what if they can't?
-
Transfer K Gianni Spetic
Oh okay, that's your analysis. While we're at it, let's just get angry when Texas doesn't have every single 2025 All-American on the 2026 roster.

Not sure what sports universe you reside in but here in this one things happen like sudden improvement by players in professional leagues once a coach or staff notices something. This isn't unusual at all. Might not happen here of course, but speaking of laziness, who are your suggested kicker takes instead of Spetic?

Transfer K Gianni Spetic
It's been explained, but I guess I'll try one more time. Every single one of his misses in that 40-49 range is to the same side. So IF (yes a big if) our coaches think they see a technique flaw in his film they can fix then it's a great get. Not sure the relevance Auburn has since we're not comparing him to Auburn for next year's roster.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
This is the key in the NFL and it's up to Ewers to take advantage. He is a cheap option who showed enough to let him be the starter while they rebuild for at least a season. If he proves to be a potential answer then he buys himself a second year before they look at QBs in the first round. If not then they draft one.

Bijan Robinson is special
Raheem Morris apparently fired Beaten by seconds. Who are realistic candidates that would know how to utilize Robinson?

Transfer K Gianni Spetic
This is true regarding that stat, which is absolutely wild to think about as someone who started watching football in the '80s.

Backtracking on a feature story within hours is a great look, Stew. And Livingstone has certainly completed his heel turn by giving that clown an interview to run that story.

We started Connor Stroh for 5 games. Any of these guys' playing videos would have to be a snuff film for them not to be better than that. Of course that just brings up the point that our OL coach who thought Stroh should start will be the same guy.
