  1. It's not like we are going to be less productive against Georgia or Ohio State in running the ball. Seriously though I could see us give up a few more sacks due to an inexperienced offensive line and maybe Manning not being as quick through reads/progressions as Quinn due to his inexperience or Manning maybe being a little too aggressive looking for the deep ball. But Manning's leg's and superior pocket presence should make up for some issues as well were Quinn ate a sack.
  2. Bunch of dumbasses at TCH risking all their B&M Operations for setting up an online portal like that. It seems like its just a matter of time before some things start getting attacked legally here I think. Too many games in Houston where they are playing with fire by raking and not taking daily/monthly fees and/or hourly fees.
  3. So is poker legal online now in Texas? How is Hijack poker being pushed by TCH?
  4. It's time to get this thread back on topic.....
  5. I'm glad we are back worrying about topics like Sweeney's tits and do we have the actual scholarship numbers as opposed to whether we are ever going to sign a recruit ever again and which five star are we losing because we did not offer what we should for that high school kid.
  6. Where is my recruiting chart? Fully enchubbened!
  7. I reserve the right to overreact and shit myself whenever the hell I want.
  8. Let me ask a question for those familiar. What is the punishment for going over the NIL cap? Kicked of the SEC, NCAA? What is the mechanism to punish the people who are over budget? Follow up question, what is the punishment for a team that promises $X NIL and doesn't pay? (Other than kid transfers and public scrutiny the following year). I am confident that Texas will make whatever deviations are needed in the next four months to close with a top 10 class if not top 5 again.
  9. I am just relieved I got caught up to speed the last twenty four hours and another elite recruit has not chosen to go to another school instead of Texas in that time. I mean we may be close with Ojo based on $9.95 bullshit, but it hasn't happened yet.
  10. Lines like this piss me off. Were we not doing Big Boy recruiting the last two years? We were. We just won more of the battles where Texas was the final one or two or three schools left. This year we aren't. It's not a huge thing as we still are sitting solid and we seem (based on the reporting) have a few players lined up that are leaning Texas for now who if we get we would all be ecstatic about. So what else has changed: I think losing Choice has had an impact. I believe in prior years we had our #1 RB locked in by July 1, but it's not like I have gone off and confirmed that. By all reports, Choice was a very good recruiter. The Changing NIL Landscape. - The change in NIL with the settlement and its impact this year has created a unique one-off. Schools feel that to some extent NIL rules will be equalized this time next year so they are attempting to get in ahead of some of these changes and grandfather in things they think won't count against a cap/etc. Also in general, Texas was ahead of the game with NIL and support along with a small handful of schools and now other schools are catching up. I am still not worried in the slightest though because we should hit on a high enough number of elite players to have an elite class overall. Second, I feel that the staff does an exceptional job at evaluation and some of the players we keep recruiting despite a commitment or circled back to after missing on an initial target (late bloomers or players committed to other schools out of the gate) the last two years have been good. I thought TyAnthony Smith, Kobe Black, and Wardell Mack when I was typing this, but truthfully I can't remember. I'm sure someone in here will correct me if I am wrong. Finally, the staff seems to do an exceptional job of evaluating its roster and finding a transfer player or two or three to lock down at positions of need. So even if we have a hole, we seem to do an exceptional job of finding a transfer as the worst case scenario.
  11. Do I panic now or just wait for Griffin to choose Alabama first?
