    Then Sam Ehlinger should go jump in his piles of money and stop complaining about not being paid.

    That is to say: I am skeptical this is true given what he said. But what do I know?

    Also: if all these guys are getting that kind of money under the table how are there not dozens of them in Federal Prison for tax fraud? Or is it laundered somehow?

    "The Annual Gift Tax Exclusion. The annual gift tax exclusion is $15,000 for the 2019 tax year. ... This is the amount of money that you can give as a gift to one person, in any given year, without having to pay any gift tax. You never have to pay taxes on gifts that are equal to or less than the annual exclusion limit."

    Chop it up annually and/or among the various "Uncles" and a kid could easily see upwards of a $100,000 while on campus.  Cars, houses and jobs are "relative" to the convo as well.

    I've tested out the concept of doing what it takes to land prized recruits in conversations with the regime, so to speak. They're delusional. They don't believe or understand that the basketball program has been doing what it needs to do on the recruiting front for two decades. They also believe there is some sort of moral high ground that has value to the alumni base because "we don't want to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons". They're living in fantasyland that anyone gives a shit - the NCAA, the Big 12, the media, the fans.

    My view is that Herman is too competitive to just give up on the blue chips because we therefore get to perch up on moral high ground, and he's too narcissistic to think that he's missing on recruits because of any failure on his own part. When he hits that psychological intersection after losing to pieces of shit like Georgia on the recruiting front repeatedly, he'll walk down the hall to the basketball area and compare notes with Shaka Smart and build from there. That's the hope.

    For those who hope differently, I guess I have to ask why you're stuck in a bygone era? The recruiting landscape today involves paying players to come to your school, and there isn't anyone walking around that seems to care about that outside of Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Wisconsin and the other academically-acclaimed schools not named Duke, Florida, USC and North Carolina.

    Herman knows exactly how the recruiting game is played at the highest level.  He studied directly under Urban Meyer when he pulled some of the best classes of this era.  The moral ground appeasement won't last long if he can't compete under the existing standards and I'm pretty sure he played a few hands with the IMG RB's last year just to see how the chips were falling in that market. 

    Not doubting any convo with some current staff, but they are either toeing the co. line or on the very low end of the coaching chain.

    both drove it in the fairway. chervony put it about 20 feet. OSU guy about 30 feet.  OSU guy lagged to about 3.5 feet.  Chervony lagged to 1.5 ft(given).

    OSU guy had 300 degree toilet bowl miss.

    Wow, that's what happens when you try to piss in the dark.    #ARRONOBERHOLSERISAPUSSY

    lol. Urbs did not even fire him, he was not getting rid of him. 

    you think it's a coincidence Smith survived 7 years of fuck ups under Meyer and suddenly 2 months after Bruce kicks all hell breaks loose?   Dig up the old thread...  there are all sorts of story line classics in that drama.

    He must be a savant at WR coaching. How else could this drunk, unstable, wife abusing, cocaine using, dildo buying crazy person have kept a job that long. 

    He'd still be @ tOSU if his grandfather was alive (Earle Bruce/Urban's mentor).  Urbs set the wheels in motion for his departure a few months after they toe tagged Earle.

  7. "I believe A&M would put another recruiting weekend together if they felt they needed to before the end of the semester. "

     

             

    IOW...   "After this weekend bombs I'd bet the staff tries to salvage things with another recruiting event down the line."

    First, I want to know what in the name of all that's holy justified the tens, more likely hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on installing video cameras.  Then we can talk about the ludicrous ruse.  Cops have been busting johns for 100 years without benefit of CCTV. 

    And what in the blue fuck does watching rubbing and tugging have to do with human trafficking?

    nothing..  but dumb fucks tend to do dumb fuck things.

    Didn't see a thread for this colossal showdown tonight at Madison Square Garden.  I think an NIT Championship, even in this day and age, is an impressive feat for this team given the challenges they've faced this year on and off the court.  Plus, you gotta root for them even if you're too cool for school, simply because it's fucking Lipscomb.  Fucking Pat Boone went there.  3,000 kids who practice two hours less a week than we do because of mandatory chapel time.  Although we are just 1-point favorites.

    So here's to the Longhorns bringing back some kinda hardware.  

    would love to see how Lipscomb matches up with us on:

    -Staff salary

    -overall budget

    -facilities

    -academic excellence and support

    -location

    -media coverage

    -any other metric worth a flying fuck

     

     

    lolololololol  embarrassing, but go Horns!
