Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
I'm not sure what's worse at this point, Texas's portal performance of the shrieking coming from a number of posters on this thread. Fuck me. Imagine a world where folks are collectively pissing their pants over losing a spare TE, a bust at WR, guys coming back after agreeing to terms and saying "No thanks 4x that amount," a couple of WRs and a RB who put up mid #s and demanded max dollars, i'm some OL guys that were so fucking bad they couldn't see playing time last year in a an OL that was so bad it was like watching a live feed of clubbing baby seals every Saturday in the fall. Fucking pull yourselves together people. Yes, we're missing on top targets, but it isn't for lack of paying. Something tells me we're going to field a team in the fall, and something tells me this won't end up as bad as it feels right now. 4k players in the portal, at some point Texas is going to have time to evaluate and sign some motherfuckers better than the other 3700 who are going to get zero other than a college scholarship.

No, you didn't which is why I asked for clarification. Listen, I don't like how this is going either, but I don't really blame college football as much as I blame Sark and Harris. Everyone is still learning the game, and this portal season looks like a pretty big shift versus recent activity. Which makes sense, we're now 4-5 years into the thing, and the last 2 or so of those classes have decided they don't want to sit. This should be a shift in behavior for all teams, and Texas is definitely getting kicked in the nuts. The processes and systems of Texas and other schools will change accordingly, I'd wager. I can't argue with the staff issues, but Texas is still better positioned than we were 8 years ago in a dead conference with little to no way to attract talent versus nefarious actors. But throwing a temper tantrum because our competitive advantage isn't working the way we wanted is like 'bama and clemson fans complaining now that they have to play in a free market, imo.

You think we are worse off than we were before the portal and NIL? Ok.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
We're not even in their conference anymore, and we're still their boogeyman. Nevermind Texas didn't invent the fucking portal, and plenty of other folks pay for NIL. Losers. For what it's worth, the staff had already labeled Ffrench as an evaluation bust, and a bad investment. This is likely them happily cutting bait. No one should cry over this one.

I dunno, is he currently not fucking injured? Zina seems way better than Vasek at this stage.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
This sucks. And to be honest, I don't get it. I mean, I get it for Zina. He's been patient, he's shown flashes in limited time, and we go out and chase an Edge in the portal, which is the LAST position we need. We need a fucking QB more than we need another edge. And here we have a relatively cheap player who we have developed, ready to take the next step, and we go after portal guys. At some point, fuck, play the guys you've recruited and developed who seem fucking good.

This shit is going to be fucking wild. And of course Lane Kiffin is involved. I think this kid is probably going to be proper fucked, particularly if his NIL deal came from the athletic department funds. Which I'm guessing it did, hence the Big 10 contract.

Nice to see that 24 hour break really calmed your nerves and improved your outlook. Dude is damaged goods and he gets to come back to Texas. Seems like an obvious choice.

Neither. Just doesn't seem that interested in Texas, but likes the idea of Texas offering an amount. If he makes it in for a visit, of course, his interest could change.

You guys should not get your hopes up on Tre Richardson. Like not even a little bit.

/Brandon Harris walks in, chewing a load of Blue Heat Takis with his mouth open, loudly. /sits down across Bo Barnes, rustles some papers, mumbles Harris: "So, looks here like you didn't play much last year. What're you looking for in 2026?" Barnes: "Yes sir, I learned a lot developing behind Anthony Hill and and Ty'Anthony Smith last season. I'm really excited for a chance to compete for a starting spot next year, I love this team." /Harris, coughing blue taki dust all over Barnes, mumbles something that might have been an apology, might have been a belch and wipes his fingers on his white Longhorn polo Harris: "That all sounds great. Based on your snap count, I think we're going to need to reduce your compensation. Also we're bringing in multiple other LBs in the portal to compete against you. They'll all probably make substantially more than what we're offering you here. Sound good? Nice talk, see you out there." /Harris rises, lets out a titanic fart and leaves, texts Sark that Barnes is in, another deal closed. Barnes: "Piece of shit didn't even ask me if I wanted any Takis. Not that I did, Blue Heat is for pussies and people without tongues. These guys can get all the way fucked." /scene

Or, maybe, and I'm talking to Chuckie here, the "souring" came during the season in the Locker Room with some of Sark's bullshit. Read the fucking thread, asshole. The guy's name has been mentioned about 20x per page for the last 60 or so fucking pages. If you want someone to do all the legwork for you and then jerk you off, PM Helobious. But be warned, his handjobs don't see to be what they once were. Must be tennis elbow.

Bo Barnes sucks, but Washington was proabably always gone. I'll be shocked if Spencer Shannon sticks around too. The staff things Townsend is a stud, and we've got Emaree Winston doing much better early than expected.

I'm not going to be upset if we get Coleman, but at this point I think I'm going to start cheering for Tech. Maybe some of you guys will stroke out and die, or at the least go back to the football board.

Are you telling me you're surprised someone with the handle "0400am" and who posts regularly on Orangebloods or IT might actually be a fucking idiot? Keep pulling more shit out of your ass that you know nothing at all about. You sound like a moron travelling here from the 1970's. "I remember a time when women weren't allowed to have credit cards without their husband's signature and hot dogs cost 25 cents! Surely things aren't that different?" JUCO's do not look they way they used to look. They used to be places where rock stupid morons with questionable IQs went go get ass grades for a couple years until they could join the big boys because they got a 6 on their SAT's out of HS. Those kids find ways to get into other schools these days. And your discussion of "limiting yourself to just P4 schools" seems pretty dumb when you consider that there are currently 65 JUCO college in America that field football teams. That's slightly less than the # of P4 teams in America. And outside of the fact JUCOs mostly existed and were a thing when there basically no transfers in College Football, or players had one and had to sit out a year, so kids went to JUCO instead...well, they're sorta defunct. Those kids are now all over in various smaller schools. "It can't be that hard." Ok, chooch.

I have it on the best authority that the entire thing was bullshit. Nothing used was a registered mark of aTm at the time. Their entire thing was "using those things with maroon makes it us, duh" not that they actually registered those marks. They were, unsurprisingly, completely full of shit. That being said, rumor has it after this incident the school did register Aggie Nation.

You'd also do that for free, though.

My favorite part is that I've had a couple different buddies, over the years, who know the story, have drinks with different Aggies who still claim they absolutely know the aTm boosters behind the billboard. I laugh every time, but it's not hard to believe considering that GameDay whatever weekend they visited college station that year had kids with Aggie Nation big billboard signs. Strangely, he did not. I guess they didn't think they would get far asking for a signature while sending a letter to a Post Office box. I did hear the recipient got those letters every month for like year, though, well after the billboard went down because it was just a month lease. Weird.

It’s still pretty snarky. Tremendous stuff. I think everyone understands what you’re attempting to say, but it is weird that you’d not characterize underwear and socks as “necessities” or “massive needs.”

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.

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.

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.
