  1. it was Jordyn. She flexed a bit last season to pick up some non recruiting logistics when Tori Tekyl left, but her main gig was working with Carrington/Chang on making sure the recruiting visits went smoothly.
  2. I'm in 78748 and ours came back this AM. Hope it is soon for you.
  3. she's more like the new Jordyn Fields than BC.
  4. assuming you mean the APR score, no, only scholarship players count.
  5. Not to be a debbie downer, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
  6. I agree, and it remains to be seen what effect the Name, Image, and Likeness rules will have on school leverage, as players will be able to be paid in the open now. I suspect the desirability to enter into arrangements where schools have coercive power over you will wane if you could just go the NIL route. But I have no idea. I'm just some guy, and an idiot at that.
  7. he's saying that once the school and the recruit reach a certain point on the bag man stuff, they reach a point of no return where failure to stick to the deal would be catastrophic for both sides. They are locked in because the school doesn't want sanctions and the player doesn't want to be ineligible and lose their shot at the NFL. It is the Mutual in Mutual Assured Destruction. So CTJ is not saying he expect recruiting violations out of College Station. He IS saying that A&M is making moves to get into a mutually assured destruction place with numerous recruits - in essence locking them out of UT's class by making it impossible for a flip. These recruit would, in effect, become immune to UT recruiting efforts. It is a savvy move on A&M's part, as UT's operation has not had a chance to get up and running. If you can take several high value kids out of action, now is the best time to do it. UT is no doubt trying to convince the kids it is in their best interest to wait - competition for your services is a good thing - while A&M is saying now is the best the deal will ever get and if you don't jump in now you will never recoup.
  8. According to the NCAA, only players on scholarship count for the APR score. Getting a fringe P5 guy as a preferred walk on is a no brainer win, but not for APR reasons. http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/research/academic-progress-rate-explained http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/academic-progress-rate-qa#:~:text=The APR came into place,have not been a problem.
  9. What's the soup de jour? It's the soup of the day. Mmm...sounds good, I'll have that.
  10. I have no idea what Sark will do, but Texas Athletics - including football - has embraced and utilized the sports science dimension in strength and conditioning. Matt Van Dyke worked very closely with Yancy until he left last season (I believe he is with the Texans now). Matt Hamm replaced Van Dyke (though he wasn't as embraced as Van Dyke by the football guys). Travis Vlantes heads up the team. He isn't as involved in football, but oversees the rest of the UT sports. You can see a glimpse of it starting at the 40 second mark of this youtube video.
  11. pull over no, it's a cardigan but thanks for noticing. KILLER BOOTS MAN
  12. FWIW Schooler had a deep thigh bruise that cost him all or parts of 3 games.
  13. any guesses who the third string center will be?
  14. Lovo was with Meyer at UF. Meyer took Lovo with him to Ohio St. https://www.thepalmettopanther.com/from-palmetto-panther-to-a-houston-cougar/
  15. This isn't quite right. I'm a CPS attorney and served many years in drug court. The upside to a hair follicle test isn't so much related to levels. The two main benefits of the hair follicle test are 1) it is 99% accurate (the instant read ones they use in the field are way less accurate) and 2) the hair follicle test can detect use within the prior 90 days. This story enrages me. It is so damaging to so many people. She had to randomly generate positives because if she processed thousands of tests with zero positives, it would be a major red flag. Speaking from personal experience, that lab confirmed positive is a silver bullet in court. People lie about their drug use all the time. Field tests are so unreliable that protests of innocence based on the field test can at least be plausible. A lab confirmed positive? Suddenly that person is treated as a liar and their credibility is undermined. It completely changes the tenor of a proceeding. The hair follicle test with mass spectrometry is 99% accurate. Falsifying that is devastating to the wronged sample giver, to the children, to the judicial and child protective systems, to public trust, and to future cases. I'd have given her the full 99 years.
  16. conference championship game is 12/19.
  17. Hawley all but confirms it in an interview with Vulture (not disagreeing with you, just adding this for context): And is there something of note in that Rabbi shares the same last name as Mike Milligan, Bokeem Woodbine’s KC Mafioso from season two? That season is set a couple decades after the events depicted in season four … “There probably is,” Hawley says, adding that “I don’t think that any anyone’s going to be surprised to discover a connection down the line,” especially since Mike “was such an iconoclastic guy who didn’t fit in either the sort of white crime structure he was involved in or the Black community. Where does a guy like that come from? On some level, this story is that story.” https://www.vulture.com/article/fargo-noah-hawley-season-4-repeating-themes-references.html
  18. I loved it overall and found it incredibly captivating and subtle at times. The last episode, while enjoyable on a superficial level, kinda sucked and was a betrayal of the excellent storytelling from episodes 1-6.
  19. CDC was at the game, dressed in all black.
  20. CDC is wearing all black. Let this be a sign.
  21. Agreed. I posted the contract a while back. I don't know why this fantasy about reassignment lingers, but it is prohibited in the contract, and it would be professional malpractice for any lawyer representing a D1 head football coach to not include language prohibiting the reassignment of duties. No need to indulge in such mental gymnastics - just pay the buyout and move on.
  22. and I'm sure he's looking at what Mack Brown has done at UNC and thinks if Mack Brown can do that at a school like UNC, he can do it even better at a school like Texas.
