2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
closetojumping replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
His younger brother, who I think also played at Texas, coached me in football and baseball my freshman year. Dude was a true shitbag, old school meathead coach. He told me that I needed to quit baseball and focus on football and then literally benched me for the entire season to make a point. He got hired away to the Midland area after that and I think he became a HC and AD down the line. I’m sure he’s fucked plenty of other people over as he’s advanced. They seem like a great family. -
2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread

Give me either of these guys, but I have to think Belk being the lead guy in the recruitment (and commitment) for RJ Sermons wouldn't be a bad thing for Texas in this recruiting cycle. -

I believe Ol'Tito has done some sponsorship stuff in some form. The alcohol prohibition for NIL meant some form of maneuvering, if memory serves, as collectives are not prohibited from taking money from alcohol companies even though the athlets are. I think that was all public and that's where those buffoons are placing "the blame" for Texas NIL. Or, maybe I am misremembering and those rubes really do think that an alcohol company is able to legally fund Texas athletes directly. The corporate NIL stack for Texas is now somewhere at $10M plus if you include Red Bull for Manning. That just basically replaces a chunk of the Dr. Pepper stuff for Ewers. Regardless, the corporate stuff continues to grow. I am guessing the aggie clowns will continue to do the thing where they focus on just one villain to bitch about, whether it's Tito's or Red Bull. Meanwhile, Texas will have the single largest NIL position in the brief history of NIL for the 2025 calendar year. They're not in a battle with a fucking Austin-based vodka company. They're losing a war being advanced on multiple fronts in which the enemy's armaments and fortifications are actually growing as ATM and the rest of the landscape take on bullets virtually daily. -
Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

You worry too much. They do stuff like this every year, to some degree. At the moment, there isn't a ton of buzz about them doing so with any local big name recruit. There are more OTs than Texas can sign this cycle, so maybe they get lucky there. The bigger issue is that they don't really have any more money than most other big names, and their single biggest benefactor has buyout fatigue. -

@Harvdog may have some advice for you. -

The funnier part is that they think that they're really close to being where Texas is on NIL. You see plenty of media putting schools besides Oregon above Texas as well. Ummmm, no. Wish I could say more, but it's kind of scary where things sit today compared to what we know about the landscape. -

Well, the guy's been a silent for months, so it's good to see that Scruggs is really plugged in here. -

That’s probably a solid choice for him. -
Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
closetojumping replied to bigup2dahorns's topic in Food and Travel
I've been a part of a number of bachelor parties in Vegas and many other gatherings with 8+ people. My view is the same as others - plan on going out with groups of 6-10 at most, outside of the strip club/stripper event. In doing so, if you start now, you'll have no issues booking the restaurants of your choice along the strip. -
Yeah, @torre reminded me about the injury offline yesterday. Here's hoping that JW can go at some point this year and be found money for the baseball program. Seems doubtful, but sure, no harm.

I didn't have "The Father on ALF will commit to play at Texas." on my radar for 2025, so this is a surprise for me. -
Good shot that this is the case.

Wait, what? This guy tried to murder his ex-wife? I need the full story. No wonder he hasn't seen his son, who I am sure is super pleased that his dad tried to commit murder. -

Was he the guy wearing pleated blue jeans? -
I agree wholeheartedly about GW Fins, as its proximity to Bourbon Street makes the people watching entertainment almost a certainty. That said, going to the far end of the bar is the key. When the overweight fatty wearing only lingerie and a tiara stumbles through that door to order a to-go cosmo, you do not want to be her target of opportunity seated next to the door. Or, fuck it, having read a bunch of you peoples' takes on women on this board, maybe that would work for some of you.
