  1. I have no interest in dignifying your incel whining with a meaningful response. Negged.
  2. Alford was at OSU and then went turncoat. They were pissed that he left, especially to Michigan. I don’t know what the industry thinks of the guy, but he seems to churn out productive backs who then get drafted. Someone can wiki him and verify or debunk that. I’d take him right now over Drayton, the Rutgers person, or the bagman at LSU.
  3. He actually discusses women’s sports in an intelligent manner, something you’re incapable of regarding any subject. Get fucked bringing your shrieking about the playoff into this thread too. Do it further and the whole group participating on this thread should start negbombing you.
  4. I'm in and paid. I feel like I've won some money in this at some point before. It's fun to follow, regardless.
  5. Texas isn't paying recruits before they're on campus. A lot of schools aren't doing that. LSU and Florida are doing that, sure. USC, sure. Don't paint every school with the same brush.
  6. Yeah, Frank Wilson and their NIL group paying recruits not to decommit. Those two things. You can pick the order of importance for your own liking, I suppose.
  7. I haven't heard anything about it in a while, but Terry's family was supposedly moving into a house in Austin and the dude is getting paid extremely well and will keep getting paid that way based on how the program feels about the guy. Is it a publicly traded company? If so, can you provide the symbol? Asking for arbitrage purposes.
  8. Texas was not outbid for Fasusi. The guy didn't want to come to Texas. He thought Norman was a cooler place to be. Hell, for all we know, he was right for his interests. It's not like he's not playing up there. He was named freshman AA, but he had a terrible fucking season. Every game I watched, the guy was getting blown up and committing what seemed like multiple penalties. I'm sure he'll improve significantly because the talent is there - should he want to work to improve. In any event, the premise that Texas was tight on its NIL efforts with Fasusi is false. That was a recruiting win for Bedenbaugh and Venables.
  9. Doubling down is a choice. You were even given a nice out by cmontexas and you didn’t take it. I’m not clicking links to stories written for link bait. No serious FBS program is offering a 10 year old a fucking scholarship. I can’t even believe this is a discussion. Have you ever spoken to a football scout or college coach? Hell , even a HS staffer? No one gives a shit about a kid’s talent until they’ve hit puberty. That’s a basic component to all of it. It’s the minimum table stakes.
  10. Maybe watch some games played by other teams. Also, that second paragraph tells everyone on this board paying any attention to the sport itself that you are a fucking dunce. Also also, this adds to the dunce factor you’re emanating to the rest of us. We don’t need a motherfucking retread who quite quit on the job the last time around. Son of a fucking bitch. No one has argued any of that or anything close. This is childish hyperbole that is neither funny or moving any part of the discussion along. This isn’t orangebloods, guy.
  11. Development is a part of a quality coach’s makeup? No shit? I was responding directly to the premise espoused by Atticus and becoming more of a common trope by the day that recruiting no longer matters, it’s just about NIL. I wasn’t providing an overall pov on position coaching skill requirements. Seemed pretty fucking obvious to anyone not locked into either the hot take about NIL or someone trying to make a dumb fucking argument against logic and the rest of the board that Tashard Choice sucked as a coach at Texas.
  12. This is reductive and incorrect. Sure, it’s NIL first, but not only. Texas is still competing with other big time programs for many recruits in which NIL is comparable for all involved. Better recruiters are still winning more battles. Let’s not just fall prey to the $9.95er whines of “it’s only about NIL these days” as that is bullshit.
  13. No offense man, but nobody is offering a prepubescent 4th grader a college scholarship in football. Jesus Christ.
  14. They’d prefer to keep Kibble, but he’s gotten interest from elsewhere, allegedly. There’s only so much a backup can be worth. Cruz is not in love with the game or Flood is playing favorites and Cruz isn’t one of them.
  15. Kyle Flood and Steven & 5 thought that this guy was going to do well as a starter at LG. Nothing kills my hope for the future under this regime more than when I try to fathom how in the fuck those two idiots came to that conclusion.
