  1. Just shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you’re talking about. This take is dumber than a bag of rocks.
  2. Two things can be true at the same time. I can enjoy the Turntine commit and still enjoy making fun of the futility that is the Texas Tech football program. Hell, your whole athletic program. You’ve never won a fucking thing that anyone cares about and Texas has owned you in every sport worth discussing. See softball: 2025, as the most recent example. Anyways, I was just posting in agreement with you. Why on earth would Texas Tech ever want to play daddy again in anything? You made a great point.
  3. When I was 22, straight out of college, I got a commission check for $9k in one pay period. When I deposited the check, I kept $3k of it in order to see what that amount of money looked like. I’d seen pots in gambling at gatherings get above $2k, but never higher. I went back to my office and put it down in front of me and counted it like 4 times with the door closed. Getting offered $5M as a guy who just turned 17, I don’t know how you don’t take that money and never look back. I don’t think that is a low IQ move. That part of the story isn’t something that causes judgment on my end, at least. They’re going to play him as a true freshman. That money doesn’t sit the bench. He’s not going to get any time to develop and he’s technically terrible with no hip flexibility. He’s probably ruined his career by making the choice he’s made, so hopefully he’s careful with that $3+M that he winds up with after taxes.
  4. Why on earth would you ever want to play Texas again? We all agree that that would be fucking ludicrous from a tech fan perspective. We beat you guys like a borrowed mule for the better part of a century. I’d say good riddance to daddy treating me that way as well.
  5. There are people involved with recruiting who have been saying that this guy is bad news for months. You’re letting the player and his family off the hook.
  6. I don’t mean pull an offer. I mean state openly the minute Tech is involved that if the player entertains them at all, Texas is out. See above. Not sure questioning the past month, but just noting the reality of Tech’s behavior in the market and what that should mean for Texas any time they’re involved.
  7. This is now the 2nd recruitment, at least, in which McGuire has leveraged a recruit’s status to make a fool out of Sarkisian and Texas. I’m not sure what the recourse is, but off the top of my head, telling a recruit if they’re going to visit Tech in any way shape or form, Texas will remove their offer seems like a possible path. Couldn’t do that with most places, but Lubbock and Tech are special circumstances due to the shithole, dumpster fire nature of that place and regime.
  8. Nothing ahead of 7/1/25 is subjected to House compliance/clearinghouse/rev share allocation shit.
  9. He signed the deal before July 1st. No impact on rev share. It’s all Double Eagle, it sounds like. Or maybe that’s just year 1.
  10. Fire the agent? What? I want to hire that guy and see what he can get me in the open market. He must be some sort of wizard or warlock or some shit. Wow. I didn’t realize it was that bad. Texas probably stays aggressive on Utu if they’d have had better clarity. Still, like Mack with Perrilloux, signs of seriously bad character and playing Texas for leverage were there all along.
  11. Ojo was apparently not very straight with the staff. I’m interested to see how interested they are in him down the line when he inevitably enters the portal. They were interested in Hudson or Stewart with similar histories.
  12. This is correct. TOF is not attempting to make a profit. Just no longer working as a 501(c)3 since House excluded that as a legitimate vehicle going forward.
  13. You referenced the “absolute” tone, so not a knock, but sure, Sarkisian and team have signed enough now that ultimately being perfect on hit rate becomes impossible. Regarding Campbell, I might be alone on this one, but given that he was a 5 star as an OG, I am inclined to give both the services credit for still rating him that highly and the staff if he winds up getting drafted in any round, but for sure any round better than 6. He got a low round draft grade last cycle, allegedly, so he’s got a shot to hit the mids if he has a great year. 2:15
  14. You act as if the posters in this thread had previously been hyping Ojo as some sort of next version of Banks. Maybe I missed that. You can go back pretty far in this thread and find references to guys we trust, like Gerry, not being as high on Ojo as the rankings would suggest. It’s not going to be posters on this board who hammer Ojo from the #1 OL ranking to finishing somewhere in the national 150-ish overall range. Are you implying that when those rankings change that it’s a conspiracy among the ratings services? Or are you just too stupid to follow the logic knot you’re tying in some sort of pathetic effort to seem contrarian?
