  1. My SIL drives a subaru and he could buy and drive any car he wanted. Dudes swears by it. &nbsp
  2. I went ahead and bought three of them. I’m having them delivered to @HenryJames’ house today.
  3. Did Melton get hurt? Figured this thread would know.
  4. I appreciate the effort to post this, but will make the following public service announcement about these kind of IT updates: We have busted the liars at IT making shit up repeatedly for more than a decade. Nahlin leads the charge in creating information when there isn't really much in truth to report. They're clearly lying, such as in this report, when they mention that they didn't even bring something up, but the source just came up and said something that fits into the narrative they've been weaving in other posts.
  5. Are you saying we’re the Jesus Christ of college sports? Or more of a Gozer type deliverer?
  6. Never Let Me Go My Sister’s Keeper The pre-prom scene, in an otherwise very mediocre movie, is both gutwrenching and terrific. As I was raising my oldest daughter, I think I saw every romcom and chick flick that was created in a decade spanning 2000-2009/2010. Yikes.
  7. Is this the widest gap in time between a post and a bump in the history of this site? Has to be up there.
  8. I love the guy thinking that Texas fans are worried about a recruiting ranking in June. Until I read that, I didn't have any idea where we actually were ranked right now, and I don't care. I view it as a given that the class will finish top5 and likely top 3. Howell lives in redass aggie fantasyland with his thinking. It's a key part of why he's constantly caught off guard by obvious developments with recruits every cycle, and then he does the PeeWee Herman maneuver where he tells everyone he meant to do that and saw everything coming. One thing the OU fans understand quite clearly in conversations on their boards is that their overall ranking doesn't matter in a standalone manner. What matters is how that ranking compares to their rivals and on-field opponents. OU fan will look at a ranking of 17th and shrug, then see that Texas finished 1st and 7 other SEC teams also finished ahead of them and then start to panic. ATM fan will completely ignore what is happening with anyone else and just find a way to crow about wherever they were ranked and start anew, demanding national titles or else!
  9. The guy is a piece of shit. The fact that he is gainfully employed in a people person industry is fascinating. He’s never been worth a shit with what he does.
  10. I don't think I understand your intent or point with this post, so feel free to flesh it out.
  11. @RGBIII had some concrete numbers that he'd heard on Bowman and the numbers both defy gravity and logic.
  12. From Wolk on the Georgia 247 site about Prothro, below. It will well and truly suck if Texas misses out on both Bowman and Prothro, both of whom would be awesome fits for what Sarkisian likes to do. I'm cheering for the Heze Kent guy, just because he's such a ridiculous giant athlete, but Texas would take Kent and one of the other two and do different things with the two. "He just left an official visit to Auburn, and our AuburnUndercover recruiting guy Christian Clemente sent me a very, very interesting update. The top TE target went so far as call Georgia his leader when talking to Christian and others. He said Auburn’s in that No. 2 spot, but still has the Florida and Texas visits coming up. For a dude that doesn’t say a whole lot, notable for him to say quite publicly that Georgia is the team to beat."
  13. I'm outside of that, but not by a lot, and they have reached out to me without realizing things regarding NIL. The cutoff is somewhere between you and I, so I am guessing it's at 1000. Could be as high as 600, I guess.
  14. I wonder if Krempin is going to get the "we need to know now or never" bear hug this weekend. They're feeling their oats at every position in the recruiting class, but probably no place more than OL.
  15. For grins, I went and looked at the loyalty stuff in the donor portal. The total base is 52,930. I seriously doubt that there is any personal outreach whatsoever after donor rank 999.
  16. Do you really believe that Texas Tech is spending more money on football than any other school? If it helps, that article is factually incorrect regarding Texas and NIL for last season and assumptions going forward. Laughably so, regarding 2024.
  17. I took one position in the post you quoted, and that position has nothing to do with any of the cheap nonsense you responded with in this post. If you're interested in a gender debate about sports revenue, you should start a thread about that. I won't be there to participate, but I'm sure you will find many moths willing to fly into that flame. Either way, the Title IX court case is certainly news for this thread. Your predictable position on the subject, less so. A full blown, boring-ass discussion on it? Right.
  18. Listen, the guy you quoted is an idiot and I don't expect him to get shit like this, hence him disappearing from my views many moons ago. You're not that, however. There's nothing needing defense coming from the WR room. I'm fucking around with the rating of Brown. Everyone I know thinks the guy is going to be great. Stewart is more of a debate, but he's always just tenuously in this class. I'm sorry, but what does Blake Lively have to do with any of this? Looks like we've got ourselves another camp fever hero! I really hope Sarkisian is able to bring some titles home because everything else happening with this program right now is off the charts. I always figured that the 2004/2005 rosters were about the best I could ever hope to see at Texas. I no longer think that is the case. The rosters over the next few cycles, if not longer, might be the absolute best in CFB. There are no talent gaps anywhere to be found, only questions about experience and cohesiveness due to NFL departures. Great evaluators, great recruiters, great developers, and every resource that could be desired. Good shit.
  19. This is the most on-brand post ever made in this forum.
  20. Him being awesome would provide endless entertainment for me and this board for years. I’m not talking about catching two long bombs against Sam Houston. Let him light up Ohio State and OU.
  21. It’s not a far fetched premise.
  22. Longhorn netdom legend and personal friend to a number of us, PhxHorn, used to have a saying to address this POV: ”The problem with taking a bunch of guys that are there more as program fits is that, well, eventually you have to play them. “ RIP Phx That caught up to Mack. Can it catch Thirteen Win Theven? Well, the portal says “hopefully not”. Parker Livingstone, however, says “probably so”.
  23. Congrats on aligning with billfromlaketravis with the snark here. The two crews are on location, each, more than 15 times each season. They overlap one another less than 20% of the time even though most weeks in a season have one clear marquee game. That sure is “a lot”. Also, participants on both programs have remarked publicly over the years that they prefer to be at their own unique settings. One of either Lindy’s or Athlon, if not both of them, has Dylan Stewart ranked ahead of Simmons going into the season. Stewart is an excellent player, but Simmons put up better numbers. I’d take CS every time in a draft.
  24. I assume 6th Street is asking that to highlight that Texas already has 2 in-state WR commits and neither is a difference maker and highly ranked. If he wasn’t pointing that out, I guess I just did. I still think things are fine if Texas lands Finley and Lott.
  25. Which is more obvious and simple to anyone but a mouthbreathing rube: a) recruit is told that they have a limited time to lock in a spot with the team they want to play for, so they move up their timeline and commit or b) schools are paying guys not to visit Texas A&M and their juggernauted sleeping giant fucklion of a program out of fear of A&M’s rise? Also, ATM is one of the only schools still actively dropping bags when they get a chance to do it. They did it with Sanders and Sims last cycle at DT. Every single fucking time these clowns accuse other programs of something nefarious, they should be pointing their sausage fingers back at themselves.
