  1. Hot damn!! I didn't know the Iraqi Dinar was still a thing?!?!? That's some good ole, pre-Twitter, email forward, unadulterated conspiracy stuff right there. I mean you had to scroll down to the very bottom of the wall of Fw: to get that pure, bottom of the barrell, transfer your entire 401K for this money making goodness. I hadn't heard reference to the Iraqi Dinar in ages.
  2. Tech gave away the game in the final minutes. You guys should be proud, but you have to be a little disappointed. Y'all had a real shot to win it all this year with that team considering what remains in the field.
  3. In another thread I mentioned that one of the guys on the "Pretend this is Football" podcast alluded to us not being able to get him for some reason. I figured it was something along these lines, but who knows.
  4. Maybe canceled is wrong term but we were originally supposed to play them in Austin during Shaka's final season. I can't believe I'm the only one who remembers this.
  5. They were supposed to play at our place during the Covid season but we lost that game when it got canceled.

  7. Mind you Tyreek is older than Cooper. Stephen sabotaged his own asset by declaring that we were going to cut him. We should've at least gotten a 3rd or a couple 4th rounders outta Cleveland. They have a shitload of picks over the next couple of drafts.
  8. There was definitely more movement this year but it was all seemingly within 15ft of each other.
  9. Man I disagree and I bet synergy numbers back me up on this stat. The % of open shots had to have gone down from last year. Obviously the talent drop off from last year is a big part of it as well as the drop off in the amount of 3s we shot this year, but the scheme is hella tight and limits the amount of space players have. There are way too many players aligned inside of the 3pt line for my taste.
  10. One of the guys on the "Pretend We're Football" podcast alluded to there being something behind the scenes that prevented us from taking Williams. I haven't heard or seen anyone address this, but I'm curious about what the issue might have been.
  11. What part of not having rosters FILLED with guys like Jordan Hamilton don't you get? One name highlights the fact that we didn't have years with MULTIPLE GUARDS/WINGS of that PHYSICAL profile on the SAME team.
  12. You'd think this point would've been obvious, but arguing on the internet is fun.
  13. I'm not sure who wants a big beefy center. This is 2022 not 1982. What I want are athletes in that spot. Guys who won't get absolutely dominated by unathletic post men with old man games like like Drew Timme and Trevion Williams.
  14. Yeah something like Denzel Valentine or maybe George Niang are what Timmy Allen needs to aspire towards.
  15. And for further clarification Randy definitely had that forfeiture language in his rookie, however when he returned from his suspension he was no longer playing on a rookie contract and therefore had no guaranteed money. So technically that Schafer dude, who became his agent after his suspensions, never encountered that language for Gregory on previous dealings with the Cowboys.
  16. The key part is the loss of guaranteed money for fines. As determined by the CBA every team in the league can dismiss guaranteed money with a suspension. The Cowboys are alone in requiring contract language of dismissing guaranteed money for fines. Former agent and front office personnel man, Andrew Brandt discusses this distinction here:
  17. Try late 60s. The entire religious right origins began with organized pushback against the Feds threatening the tax exempt status of private schools that were discriminating on race.
  18. One thing is for sure, I'm going to pay a lot more attention to actual footage of what next year's transfers looked like at their previous schools. I had no clue how athletically limited Carr, Allen, and Mitchell were. Had I known I would've saved the 100 bucks I put on us winning this year's National Championship last May. I was excited as fuck about this upcoming season, unreasonably so. All things considered though, this is about happiest I've been after a tourney exit in my entire longhorn fandom. After seeing the season play out and the actual talent he had to work with I'm impressed with the job Beard did this year.
  19. Minor staff change says to me someone below the level of Terry, Howard, Maligi, and Ogden is moving on but who knows.
  20. At Tech Beard filled his rosters with guys like Culver, Shannon, McCullar, Zhaire Smith, Jahmius Ramsay, and a shitload of wings/guards who were 6'3" to 6'7" and athletic. I can't say that we've ever had that at Texas over the last 20+ years. Certainly not since the Penders days with Clack, Vasquez, and Freeman. This is biggest change about Beard's approach that I'm the most excited about.
  21. My bad I don't read good.
  22. Gleague guys wish they made 200k. The only Gleague guys who make that sort of money are guys with 2- way contracts with their NBA affiliates and Gleague Ignite guys who forgo their college eligibility to play 1 year in the Gleague prior to being drafted. Guys like Matt Coleman make around 40k.
  23. Next year Morris will be one of those guys but I'm sure it will come with growing pains.
