    This turned out to be his Johntay Cook against Mississippi State in 2024 game. Cooks final drop was more egregious but the end result is the same. We learned both players were mentally unstable

    Don't you dare drop crap here about Johntay.
    His journey is still incomplete.
    He had everything in his grasp, but let it slip through his fingers.
    Leave him uncovered by this.
    He's trying his best to catch on somewhere else.

  3. Big 12 representing well in the transfer portal.

    Penn State picked up the Iowa State QB. (Matt Campbell is their coach, so duh)
    Indiana picked up the TCU QB. They also picked up a K State edge rusher.
    Texas Tech picked up the Cincinnati QB
    LSU supposedly trying to sign Arizona State QB, so Texas may have to face him again next year
    OSU had 59 players enter the portal. Yes, you read that right.

    Here’s another good firing story:

    My cousin worked for a petrochemical plant on the coast. Like most companies, they had a cybersecurity policy to lock your work station when not at your computer, don’t use someone else’s account if it’s open, etc.

    A guy on another shift was quite a prankster. My cousin said this guy got into another employee’s account when that employee went to make rounds in the plant and didn’t lock his screen.

    The prankster (I went to school with this guy and he was always pretty funny) proceeded to use the other employee’s email account to tell the entire plant site (or might have been the entire North America email list for the company) that he was announcing that he is out of the closet as an openly gay man.

    Prankster got fired of course. He worked at a car dealership for awhile before getting into long-haul trucking.

    Really dumb and really epically funny, hahaha. Hats off to the dude, lol.

    Coaches who've been fired so far:

    Stefanski out at Cleveland

    Morris and GM out at ATL

    We're here for the bloodletting.

    This thread always reminds me of an email chain that got two girls fired at the Austin ad company I worked at.

    We had a big layoff (2008) and two young account executive gals kept a running tab of who got hit. Someone else saw the email chain and was bothered at their lack of empathy (guess they were making jokes about people on the list), they shared it with management and the girls got axed. Can you imagine calling your parents and telling them that you fired for this, haha?

    We also had another funny one. We had the Southwest account and one of the account girls went ballistic at the airport to an employee at the counter when they didn't give her the trip credit. (Southwest didn't give us the miles, cause we billed them for our travel.) The Southwest employee complained, and Southwest called up the agency about her. Fired, haha.

    Bond got the money and immediately came in as an entitled diva who set all time high water marks for entitled douchebag behavior. He was unfocused, was a bad teammate and the team ultimately let him hide behind an injury to save face for the fact that he was flat out benched by the end of the season for being unreliable. Golden was the complete opposite - he came in focused and motivated to improve, and he did and was a portal success story that you'd want to identify and emulate. AD Mitchell was in-between Bond and Golden - less focused and more of a pain in the ass than Golden (his NFL pre-draft comments were accurate) but not the disaster that Bond was and Mitchell performed on the field.

    I agree w this post about the portal being a total crapshoot. You might get Joe Burrow, or you might get Nico Lamaleava. That is what is concerning about the Auburn WR.

    However, I never heard or read anything negative about Bond while he was at Texas. His injury is what derailed him and he tried to play through it. I spent some time with him and he was incredibly nice, and extremely grateful for what he has achieved in life and was giving back. He screwed himself AFTER he graduated w that sexual assault case. What did you hear?

    I will ask you since others haven't answered. What's Sark's policy on his players going into the portal?

    I have absolutely no idea. He has recently whined about the lack of professionalism from player's agents, claiming many have no accreditation or understanding of the process whatsoever.

    I did see an interesting TikTok created by a female volleyball player. She said it was unnerving how the minute she placed herself into the portal, she was instantly cut off from all university services such as gyms, weight rooms, health services, trainers, tutors, advisors, etc. I wonder if athletes understand that.

  9. College athletes were thrilled when the portal became a thing, and it has paid off for many.

    However, what is interesting (and slightly funny) is that so many assumed it was all upside, except for two little icky things:

    1: Leaving for more playing time/money is great...if you can find a better situation. For every Joe Burrow story, there are two Tate Martells.

    2: Players can come in and replace YOU

    Here's a thought, you want prime time money maybe perform like a prime time player. Wide open drops and not dominating the competition ain't it. Get big or get fucked.

    I don't see them not paying Arch, McDonald, Simmons, etc. Why? Because they fuckin make plays. I'm not paying ribeye rates for fuckin sirloin.

    What if it's sirloin but it's Wagyu sirloin?

    I’m sure plenty can, it’s just that you definitely aren’t one of them. There’s nothing “tough” about calling you out for shit takes, in any event. It feels aggressive to you because you’re an emotional baby, but it’s pretty standard shit for keeping proper forum hygiene. Bad takes should be called out, especially when they’re shading the program the board exists for in the first place.

    Keep it up. You're making a difference! #youmatter

    Implying that I beat my wife as a reaction to me writing a post calling your stupid take a stupid fucking take is the kind of weak shit I would expect from a dipshit like you. You’re terrified of confrontation of any sort, so your defensive reactions when confronted for having shit takes are bad attempts at indifferent AI and graph comedy and/or attempting to shame someone with your projection of what might gain sentiment in your favor from other readers.

    I know it hurts to be such a fucking imbecile and to be called on it, but there are two easy ways out:

    1) just realize you don’t know shit about football and stop trying to join discussions as though you do.

    or

    2) when called out of for having a shit take, just admit that you don’t know shit and had a shit take.

    Guess not everyone can be as tough as you on the anonymous message board.

    Anyway, you’re going to believe whatever you want to believe to support the conclusion you’ve come to, so I’m done wasting my time.

    Perhaps the best description of Surly Horns ever written. Could possibly be the tagline.

    Texas starters were signed out of high school by Texas to the tune of 82+% over the last 3 seasons. Do you have any idea how uninformed and dipshitted you sound when you try to discuss actual football being played at Texas? It doesn’t seem like you do.

    Inherently, 50% of any signing class isn’t panning out, for anyone. A class that ultimately produces anything north of 65% producers for a program is considered something akin to a unicorn. In the age of the portal and NIL, having more than 4/5s of your starters signed out of HS on 10+ win teams is extraordinary.

    In short, stick to your AI slop and shut the fuck up with your ignorant nonsense when it comes to UT football, you ignorant Westlake honk

    I honestly hope that this is where you get your frustrations out, and that you don't take them out on your wife.

    I wonder whether Coleman is the right move as well. I haven't watched him in games to tell and highlights alone don't give you enough information, much less about whether he's a culture fit. Mumble, mumble, something about trust the corches here.

    At some point too, it gets frustrating that we don't see more of our highly rated recruits developing. Lockett has flashed but seen little duty and nothing but crickets from Ffrench.

    This 100%. Each season we get the usual verbal diarrhea from the 9.95 crowd about why this year’s recruit class is the best ever, yet so many of them seemingly disappear and never sniff the field. I guess the 9.95s understand what their audience wants to hear.

    Didn’t they say that Becker has been clocked in the 4.3s?

    I am not sure but if so, that’s awesome. I do know when I watched him vs Penn State have an incredible game, I was amazed to learn he was the backup! He played cause the starter was hurt. That’s some freaking great coaching and effort on his part.

  17. Just now, Dahobbs said:

    If Parker had elite hands, that would make sense. He doesn't. At all. That's not his strength. Maybe someone thinks they can teach him.

    Well, one thing we can be sure of, and that is EVERY coach always thinks they are the one who can coach someone up.

  18. There’s really two philosophies and both have pros and cons. One is the Texas one where you go pay the elite athlete and hope he contributes for the one or two years he is here and the other is the Indiana one to pursue older, less-accomplished players who are coachable and highly motivated. Butler, of course, was able to compete at the top level in basketball w teams laden with homegrown seniors.

    I find the scramble over the Auburn WR to be slightly concerning, and it may be more disruptive to your team than providing value.

    Indiana is a very well coached team with an elite QB. Omar Cooper JR and Elijah Sarratt are very good receivers with NFL futures. Livingstone's questionable hands are going to be a limiter for him if he ends up at Indiana. That's something they'll have to work on.

    But they also have Charlie Becker, a sophomore, 2-star receiver who makes amazing catch after catch. He’s a tall, skinny white dude who’s not terribly fast but gets open and hangs on to the ball. Watch his catches vs Penn State, which were incredible, and he made the late catch against Ohio State that allowed them to run to run the clock down.

    Could Cignetti think that Livingstone can perform that role for him? We shall see.

    Lockett comes in the game goes and wins a 50/50 ball better than the 84 balls Wingo has been thrown over the last two seasons.

    Sounds like the name of a movie about soldiers in Iraq.

    Or maybe the play the QB calls in the movie to win the game:
    "Okay, screw coach. Let's go with 84 balls Wingo. (Other players gasp) And Tommy, I'll have the ball there. You got this!!!!"

    I cant possibly say "WHO GIVES A SHIT" enough times to this. 

    Don't you dare talk that way about Johntay. He provided us a lot of entertainment this time last year.

    Best was when he was at Washington for48 hours before being asked to leave, though he claimed deciding to leave was a 'mutual decision.' Word is he stole stuff from other player's lockers.

    Glad to see he has gotten himself back together to some degree, though the talk is he wants to transfer again.
