Here’s the thing, you’re not the only poster here with access to inside information. Maybe some of us know exactly what Livingstone’s ask was for NIL. I didn’t want to lose the guy. But I also don’t want to pay him 800k. I didn’t want to pay Moore his absurd ask either. To be frank, I also am unconvinced Wingo is worth his fucking money either, but I don’t make those decisions.
I don’t the validation from you, one of the most rock-headed shit posters in this site, to know what Campbell is doing with regards to NIL. It’s an open thing because players and recruits talk to other people about what and how they’re being paid. It’s also no secret about why he’s financing all the commercials about college NIL reform so he can stop having to bankroll Tech into relevance, speaking of LITERAL politics.
I generally like your football takes, and honestly most of your takes on surly as an overall poster, but you’re bordering on pimphand level conspiracy thinking on this one.
We spent a lot of money on French, Terry, and Lockett. And wingo. And Mosely. It might actually be about the money. Especially when the guy you recruited to be the low dollar depth piece who loves Texas and wants to be here asks for WR1 money. Dante Moore also asked for WR1 money, and we paid for it last year but noped out of doing it again after we saw what it got us.
Comparing Conception’s signing to Cam Coleman is certainly a choice. Conception was a great evaluation, and a great get for aTm, and he had a great season. But his price was noooooooowhere near what Coleman will command. I’m sure there were other schools in pursuit of Conception but I sure as shit couldn’t name them. If aTm signs Coleman I’ll laugh my ass off because it means they paid him an obscene amount of money. And if we sign him, great, it means we paid an obscene amount of money full well knowing we can afford it. We can’t lose.
I have to say, getting two guys that played together at Michigan might go a long ass way to remedying whatever the fuck it is Flood has been doing at OL. Hopefully they actually had the false starts coached out of them and we won’t have to hear idiots making excuses about an OL needing to “gel” and “learn to play together” through six games of the fucking season.
Jesus, is there anything you don’t need someone to hold your fucking hand on? For a guy who maligns reading about recruiting, you sure as hell could stand to do some actual reading of the various threads on this board instead of calling other people stupid for following the team. Burnt Orange NationBlake Gideon returning to Texas as defensive assistantGideon will once again work for his former defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.
Accelerates the ruin of this sport? Listen I agree that I don’t want to overspend but let’s pump the brakes on waxing nostalgic about the sport that had a rotation of Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Ohio state winning the national title every year with an OCCASIONAL blip by LSU or a sign stealing Michigan. While Texas sat on its balls. I’ll take this iteration which doesn’t include basic indentured servitude, thanks.
There’s no problem with lambos. Those are owned by Michael Huff and a car dealership that does a deal with players. There is a problem with ”skirting the rules” in regards to Cody Campbell setting up a thousand LLC’s so he can pay players 100 dollars less than the legal limit that requires the ncaa clearinghouse to review the NIL deal and determine if it’s valid, from a thousand different entities.
You know someone else can make a stupid post and you can still be a complete and consistent fucking moron, right? It’s not mutually exclusive. of course, since you’re a proud autist you struggled. with recognizing the fact that the mosely comment was one guy expressing that wingo sucks and shouldnt be a starter. But either way, it’s people on a message board discussing things, which is the point of message boards. Except to you who thinks it’s all a waste of fucking time. On a message board. Listen, Forrest Gump, why don’t you head back to the football board where you belong?
Good for you I guess? I’d argue a bigger waste of time is going to a forum dedicated to recruiting and arguing to the regulars that they’re wasting time with their hobby. For an encore, do you enjoy going to churches and standing up during mass and telling the audience they’re wasting their time there? I bet you really sway a lot of people to rethink their lives.
Hey guys, we must be trailing and in a bad spot for Coleman before he’s even taken his two day visit here!! Also, they hate Reed and want another QB but he’d never leave guys! These dips can turn their heads all the way around like the demon in the fucking exorcist.
