    Over/under on when the Surly cleaver becomes a murder weapon = October 12th, 2024.

     

    Why not just pay to put a Car Wrap on a tow truck? That way Surly gets tons of free publicity whenever the driver starts throwing rocks onto I-35.

    Can you tell me more about your life path. I want to avoid it so I dont get to a point down the road where I think this is one of the finer points in my life. THanks.

    Spoken like somebody that never got up on stage so that a skeezy looking Mexican guy could pour pitchers-full of watered-down tequila shots on their face and chest, and then bask in the glow of the raucous applause earned via a third place finish at the Spring Break twerking contest.

    Paying players is no longer driven by a dark market. With paying players seeing the light of day, there will be actual regulation with known punishments. There won’t be social pressures to stay quiet when it is known that someone is cheating an agreed upon cap and the punishments are severe. Everton is facing relegation in EPL for fucking around and finding out. Pro teams in the US have also dealt with serious shit when they’ve been caught. 

    The way programs will “cheat” legally is all of the endorsements players receive. A cap would relieve roster pressures, but the more visible players will be getting paid above that. Schools like LSU and Bama will still be playing from behind compared to Texas, OSU, USC and Georgia in that future state. 

    We're in the Wild West days of NIL, where anything goes. Eventually, the power brokers in the sport will get together to try to do something to rein in some of the chaos and ensure that there's some sort of parity . (Maybe this time they'll skip Condaleeza Rice). Once they agree on some set of rules, then they'll need to figure out enforcement. Whether that's going to be through the NCAA or some other new entity, will be interesting to see.

    The professional sports leagues have much greater power over their members, that I don't imagine the colleges will be willing to sign off on.

    AHS is 21.5 kids over cutoff and it’s in a school district that invests dick in facilities for sports. Having a kid there the principal will never drop them to 5A. Also coach has easiest job as in 6A there is zero expectation of success. It’s a joke. 
     

    edit- takes in roughly 700+ transfer kids a year as well. Would be super easy to be under number. 

    Austin ISD might spend more on athletics facilities if they didn't have to send $940 million in recapture money to the state this year.

    Level of competition is a very valid point when it’s Traylon Shead or Jalin Conyers putting up huge numbers running in straight lines against 2A kids and then clocking 12 seconds plus in the 100m during track season.

    When you see a dude making jump cuts that look like CGI effects, it doesn’t really matter what the competition is.

    For running backs or WRs, you can look at track times to help inform your decisions. But what about somebody like Leonard Davis? Sometimes it's impossible to know whether or not a 2A star is going to pan out or not.

    I get it. I really do. Both players NEVER should have been close enough to a UT scholarship offer to even smell it. Not even in the darkest days of Mackovich, Charlie, and even Ed Price's tenures). But Shead in particular was well thought of at the time time and was said to Sherman's top ranked RB (which says a LOT more about Sherman than it does about Shead or even Mack). Pretty sure DCTF even did an article comparing to AD Peterson at one point (OOPS!). I seem to recall this is as an "I've got an extra spot. I'm going to use to take your top guy just because fuck you, that's why.''

     

    And, as Satya pointed out, out Cole was worth each every penny of his scholarship money just to get Malcom Brown (who was also considered an "Aggie lock by Liucci and the TexAgs "brain" trust 😂). If I'm being totally honest, I might take 5 Tim Coles to get one Malcom Brown. He was that good. 

    Shead was a classic small school standout. He dominated in 2A, but there were question about whether that would translate against better competition. Obviously, it didn't.

    He was #2 on the all-time rushing yardage list (until Jonathan Gray eclipsed him), and most (all?) of the major recruiting services had him as a top 20 national RB.

    *Sidenote but damn one of SJB’s 2 losses last year was to a Hawaii small town public school. Same one we recently got a LB from I think. 

    Liona Lefau played for Kahuku in 2022, before they beat St John Boscoe.

    I remember back in the early days of the internet, innocently clicking away and seeing horrific images of a guy getting his armed pulled off in a tug of war match, shotgun victims, things that were prolapsed that shouldn’t be prolapsed, girls in tubs (not the good kind), Pickle Incidents, etc. 

    None of it was as bad as the last couple days on this fucking thread.

    Did you witness the dying days of ShaggyBevo?
