  1. How the fuck can someone think any information he gets from here is legit?
  2. I did everyone a favor and followed the www.BeyondTexas.com URL that is displayed on that London bus advertisement. And everyone here should be glad I did, because it redirects to the least surprising and yet most aggy thing possible: https://www.tamu.edu/beyondtexas/index.html I'll save you the trouble of actually clicking: Much like mocking Tech for their billboard, I'm sure any Brit will head to this link and think "I know exactly who/what Reveille is" right after they see the giant "PAGE NOT FOUND" message. Advertising dollars well spent, right there. Meanwhile, this is how marketing genius gets shit done.
  3. Listen, Rex Grossman stole The Sex Cannon right out from under me.
  4. We should all take our our cues from someone who posts on Reddit as "TheEnviedPenis." Because folks carrying the goods always feel the need to shout it unprompted from the rooftops of the internet.
  5. It's not just Stroh's body they have to step over. It's also the center and left tackle after his falling tree trunk of a body take out the entire left side of our line. Real impediment to the DL there.
  6. I'm not sure why you're including me in here, sir, other than the fact we've met. I didn't do shit this morning except get called a meanie in a drive by shot by a poster with terrible football takes and a penchant to lash out at people like they've got a persecution complex or something. And before you say anything, yes, I know who that poster is as well.
  7. Harris is confident he's getting everyone he's targeting. That's pretty inside. If you're a WR testing the market, I would think it's pretty stupid to remove yourself from the market when Texas has money to spend at the position. Yes, if there's one thing for sure, I feel like no one here ever criticizes seven win steven.
  8. It's amazing how stupid some of you motherfuckers are being, including some generally good posters, whining about the fucking "all-in" bullshit. Since this is something that isn't perfectly obvious to all of you (I assume) grown adults, I'll spell it out for you. It doesn't take a fucking navigator the level of Magellan to realize that at some point after we got left out of the playoffs, Bobby and company spoke to staff members who said "We're all in on winning a title in 2026." Great soundbite, so Bobby and company used it. Letting PK go, while giving him his payout as a thanks out the door, and bringing in Will Muschamp to run the defense? Guess what got recycled? "This is just another sign that the staff is all in on Arch and 2026." Pretty normal shit. 995ers talk to sources and ask how we're going to approach the portal? "We going to be aggressive, we're going to be very aggressive." Now, hardly a stretch for a normal person who covers a sport to go with "Again, the Texas staff is going to go all-in the portal to build the best team." Does this mean that Texas is going to get everyone? No. Does it mean that Texas's own coaching staff and support staff aren't capable of being wrong, or royally fucking things up? No. Can they misjudge the market? You bet your ass. Does it mean other schools can't retain their star players? Nope, not at all. Does it mean Texas, over the past many years, hasn't reached agreements with players and then have them not enter the portal? Nope. That's all on the table. But the fact that the people who have fucking latched onto the "Going All In" turn of phrase like a fucking dog with a bone as somehow illustrative of the 995ers failing at their jobs, or being idiots, or as any kind of mockery of them is fucking bizarre to me. They're basically repeating what coaches and sources told them, and honestly, I fully believe the staff things they ARE all in on 2026, and have every intention of doing their best. Now, whether they fuck it all up and fail, that's the question. But folks here should address their mockery and derision towards the football staff after the portal closes, not the 995ers (except the obvious buffoons and grifters). And I'll stress "after the portal closes" because we've seen a half dozen meltdowns at least in the last 3-4 years about high school and portal recruiting, hell, even the hiring of Sark's first DC, where shit was quiet and shitty for weeks/months and then lo and behold multiple rabbits get pulled out of hats, and we get PK, and we sign a half dozen portal DT's, and we close on Colin Simmons and Tyler Atkinson and Kade Phillips at the 11th hour.
  9. It's like 85-90%, so lets just simplify things, IMO.
  10. and Hugh Freeze still had cred for being a good coach, just an amoral one, at the time.
  11. I see other schools 995ers are now throwing out the Texas make their collectives feel good, to go along with players using the Texas name to drive up prices and sound important. This is the first time I've heard this guy's name from anyone. Of course, he's not in the portal and still in the playoffs, so maybe that's it...
  12. Not sure how yours works, but at Total Wine here you get the discounted price when you buy 6 of any kind of wine. Because I feel like when you buy out the stock of something, like you did there, but there weren't 6 left, you'd better have been able to buy two bottles of daily drinker to get that sweet, sweet $60 discount per bottle.
  13. Yeah, "The Big 12 runs through Lubbock" energy. It's almost like Maguire works for Cody Campbell and is doing whatever the fuck Campbell says, including channeling that little brother insecurity little dick energy.
  14. There's a rumor that Flood kicked the tires on him last month but then veto'd the take when he looked at his 247 profile and didn't see a 6'9" daywalking ginger nightmare with literal tree stumps for feet. Sorry Seaton, you don't fit the profile.
  15. His only other posts, prior to today, were when he registered in July to drop this beauty: https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/27346-texas-recruiting-notes-2026-boulevard-of-broken-bagmen/page/155/#findComment-7192423 Showing up to create an account (I'm sure this is some guy's new handle) and whine about Tyler Atkinson in July is some chef's kiss level of trying to be a whiny bitch. That's like BO&W level gashery. In case y'all forget, we ended up with Tyler Atkinson. Just like we ended up addressing our dire DT needs two portal seasons in a row. We might not get all our toys, but something tells me we'll be getting some this portal season.
  16. I said in my post that the team obviously had other issues as well, it doesn't change the fact that average play wins us both games I cited. Sark failing to convert on 4th down runs is nothing new. Even with better backs. That shit hasn't changed, do we need to remind you of last playoffs? And "outside of 2 bad throws" that were picks, the guy went 16/29. That's barely over 50%. In a game we had a shot to pull out, all other poor play aside. A QB barely hitting 50% is almost never the "least" of a team's problems. But the main point I'm making, and I can't believe it's even an argument, is that saying Sark "wasted" Manning last year when Manning sucked shit through a fucking straw for more than half the season is a hell of a take. That's a statement we might be able to say about next year, but not this past year. Now, you want to say Sark had his head up his ass all last year? Sure. Go for it. Right there with you.
  17. I mean, the post you quoted literally says "Zion entered the portal with a no contact tag."
  18. Is this sarcasm? I assume it's not because you generally seem humorless. But it's a particularly ironic post considering Texas's two RB targets so far in this portal cycle have failed to enter the portal for those big dollars.
  19. To be fair, Arch Manning did a pretty great fucking job of wasting last season for about oh, 7 games. 6 out of the first 7 games, plus the first half of Miss St. There were other problems with this team, obviously, but an average performance, just average, by Arch against Ohio St. and Florida, probably wins us both of those games.
  20. Aww, did CJ get his fee fees hurt because people are asking him to justify his own words he used in his own reporting?
  21. This is the dumbest, most thoughtless and uninformed post you've made yet. Literally nothing will cost Sark this job other than Steve Sarkisian. And by Steve Sarkisian, I don't mean missing some portal targets, I mean a complete implosion of himself and the team. Oh, I see, you're living in fantasyland and are completely unmoored from reality. Disregard my previous post, despite it still being true. Listen, I've heard of this place called Orangebloods, you might be a fit there. Or the football board here.
  22. Indiana has signed 2 guys, one of which isn't a position we're chasing. And your view of the portal, like most people here, is like looking at the tip of the iceberg and being completely clueless that 80% of it is beneath the water. The amount we spend on retaining the roster so guys don't portal out is astronomical. We're paying six figures to plenty of kids out of HS who haven't even seen playing time, but everyone here would shit their pants if Justus Terry or Tyler Atkinson fucking bailed on us. As for "Being the Joneses" what a tired trope. With 20 million dollars, even shitty programs can flex up some money and save some of their best players if the kid is happy there otherwise. But not paying Wisner 1 million from 750, or moving Livingston up from whatever he was making to 800k, and suddenly we're just poor little ole' Texas getting outspend. It's so fucking stupid. This guy has a lot more speed than Wisner. I'd say it's great that we're not in the market for a fucking QB?
  23. If 99.9% of the football players aren't doing to take his offer, it sounds like this fucking guy isn't going to be out all that much money after all...so I guess he's just a bitch. I'm guessing the real problem is he named his newborn Parker.
