  1. I feel like the history of Flex TE's being asked to learn to block and embracing that is a low percentage. I also feel like the percentage of guys who transfer to a school, expect playing time and don't recieve it sticking around and not moping and getting their shit together is also pretty low. I can hope and cheer for something to happen without having super high expectations that it will indeed happen. I'm not saying he's going to Argyle Hall attack a parking boot and scream that he invented the question mark, but at the same time, I'm not going to expect much of a talented, experienced guy in year two at Texas that couldn't do enough to displace Juan Davis in year one. Who knows, maybe he takes a some ayahuasca and finds himself during some spiritual journey and kicks ass. I'll take it. But losing his 5 receptions for 33 yards, barely better than Will Randle, isn't going to cause me pain.
  2. Would Niblack cause anyone here pain? Certainly not me. Honestly, I'd expect that guy to get passed up. Ethan Burke?
  3. Tremendous. This leaves Rimbo as the lone motherfucker titling at this windmill of stupidity. It's been a long time Rimbo, it's nice to know you can put on your Helobious Bad Take shoes after all these years and have them fit so snugly.
  4. It is a premium brand. Who gives a shit? I'm supposed to be scared of some other blue blood down on their luck becoming less so? What I absolutely DO know is that, for lack of a better word, T-shirt fans and loose fans with no formal affiliation to their school RARELY donate to NIL. Most don't even fucking know what NIL collectives are, and they aren't on email lists for fundraising or anything else. So, uh, yeah, in this instance, it is the actual fucking alumni who put dollars into NIL programs that you have to fucking worry about, you fucking knob. It's clear from this post that you don't actually understand the big picture of college football at all, these days. The things you've cited are mere nuisances and hypothericals compared to the actual fire breathing dragon we're dealing with, right now, with Ohio State and their NIL machine. There's an 800 lb gorilla threating to NowThis you, but you're acting unconcerned becuase some other gorilla may or may not show up at a later date to pink sock you. Thanks, I'm good with Ohio State alums taking a hit, maybe being more reticient with their donations in the future, and what is possibly the most obnoxious fanbase in college football taking one in the dick after decades of pretty much continued success.
  5. I feel there's probably a handful of posters on this site that can justifiably attempt to lecture me on "the big picture" of college football, maybe, and buddy, you're not on that list. You can go back to defending Mack Brown and Charlie Strong with every last shrill cry from your body. I have news for you. Ohio State is already there, and have been for decades, and the acadmic standards at ND will continue to act as more of a governor to their talent acquisition than what exists (nothing) at Ohio State. Additionaly, they have more booster money than ND. And I've suffered through a decads of the same 5-6 teams winning the title, I'm pretty sure 'Bama or others can claim to be the fucking Yankees more than ND, who's been irrelevent. But you go ahead and piss yourself worrying about the <checks notes> 120k living alumni Notre Dame might bring to bear in NIL becuase the Catholics might be mean to you. As opposed to Texas's 530k, or 600k. And honestly, ND is the only other brand than Texas than can probably be seen as a Darth Vader of college football. Give me another villain. It's math. Also, I give a shit about the playoffs being succesful. I care about this sport. Are you telling me I'm full of shit and lying?
  6. Almost like it wasn't real, or wasn't good information.
  7. I didn't realize that my take was neg-worthy. I guess TeamDirtyLeg really hates Catholics, ND, or really loves Ryan Day. LIke LOVES. Also I didn't realize Ohio State was somehow a school that displayed their faith openly. Must have missed that. Did Ryan Day buy a Jesus Butt Plug or something and post about it on reddit? Meanwhile, Ole' Dabo and Clemson apparently just don't NIL in the image of Christ quite enough.
  8. I'm rooting for ND, but it isn't for the fucking lulz. On a surface level, the playoff looks like more of a success if one of the Powers of the last decade don't win it. MIchigan last year was great, but going back to Ohio State this year can fuck right off. I'd say the same thing for GA, Alabama, even Clemson, etc. On a much more visceral level, I dont really want Ohio State boosters getting a good ROI in their fucking NIL investment. We don't need those fuckers feelng incented to keep throwing around 25-30 million a year in NIL.
  9. More like “hey, are you willing to donate to keep MM?” “Nope.” CTJ was referring to a financial capacity, not an administrative one.
  10. It wasn’t. It was Arnold & Itkins.
  11. Yeah, no plaudits over here. I’d have let the dude walk.
  12. Ok, this is definitely a bit.
  13. They've given to NIL as well.
  14. I see others laughing, but just to be clear, this is a joke I'm just not getting, right?
  15. Oh yes. DUE TO FDIC REPORTING!! Nothing like claiming credit for something in no way attributable to them just becuase they shout it. It's like a dipshit longhorn taking credit for Quinn Ewers's decision to go pro becuase they said he sucked on twitter.
  16. Yes. Such devestating scandals that when I googled FDIC scandals not a single news link popped up in response. I had to click over to the news tab and see that there was some sexual harrasment. But I'm sure you'll be thrilled that a crackpot senator from wyoming, who is pro cypto and bitoin, is going to get to the bottom Operation Chokepoint 2.0 with Tim Scott!!! L oh fucking L.
  17. I feel like a twitter handle called FDIC EXPOSED is a really great source to get unbiased information about the FDIC. Ditto a youtube channel called Crypto Law.
  18. Man, my favorite post in that new traunch is for sure the "Arch had a chance to take the starting role, and didnt, so he sucks." Nevermind the one guy who correctly pointed out where he'd rank nationally if he played a couple more games at the same level. But they can't even point to Manning's stats for 2024 and say "See, he sucks." Because his stats are fucking good. If Manning played the entire year at the same clip as the 3 games he started, including the playoffs, he'd have over 4800 passing yards, 48 passing TDs, and 11 picks. Oh, and throw in another 16 rushing TDs and 500 rushing yards. What a catastrophe. Yes, that's a huge oversimplification, and yes those #s are a swag that aren't entirely accurate, but that's the ballpark if he started 16 games based on the 3 he did start.
  19. To be fair, he's a very In Your Face version of Basil.
  20. That can't be. I've recently been made aware that it was a random false start from Cam Williams.
  21. Ironcically, if there were one poster I had to bet on for having poessions of child porn, it would be that guy.
  22. Allow me to put it more succinctly: His net worth is more than 6x Phil Knight.
