  1. No, I didn't lie. I used simple context clues and made an inference. Again, you're using another weak rhetorical tactic in a futile attempt to equivocate about displayed behaviors. As to negging, it's the currency we have here and my exchange with you in which you straight up made shit up was worth more to me than just a tedious dialogue. Cry about it.
  2. Maybe we've already seen, though? As of right now, there is zero NIL allocation available for either player.
  3. Okay, so you were flatly wrong on some idiotic take initially. I called you on it, since it was idiotic. Now you just attempted, because we're in a different thread and you think you're in some sort of safe space, to spin that weak shit into me being ignorant of where a coach coached that I brought up first? That's yellow, dishonest, spineless shit and also laughable. So negged again now that that is confirmed. Beyond that, I don't enjoy belittling people. I don't really care what you think about it either way. I will admit to not suffering fools or liars well, and you appear to be both, so you've made yourself worthy of forward derision from me every chance I get, whether you approve or not. As to dick measuring about baseball knowledge, you are simply guilty of the same old trope of other baseball board denizens that because you post on Texas baseball more, you therefore believe that somehow magically identifies you as more knowledgeable. If that thinking gives you some sort of low-info poster comfort, I'm not here to take it from you.
  4. If you're going to make shit up as a rhetorical tactic in a discussion with me, it's not going to go well and I will enjoy the following experience. So why don't you verify that you aren't a lying sack of human shit and show me that post where I didn't know where Bakich coached?
  5. I don't understand this question. Can you de-corporatize yourself for a second and put something in plain English that you'd like answered?
  6. Listen, BO&W has quotas he has to hit each day on this board, or the system will cast him permanently to purgatory where he can only chat with himself. Today is Wednesday, so he has to post a minimum of 30 idiotic hawt takes or he gets yanked. His post about Casamigos is just one drop in the bucket and perfectly ignorable for the rest of us.
  7. Looks like this thread is certifiably surly already, just on page 3. It's the next year's basketball team thread and the only thing being discussed is personnel that will not actually be a part of the team next year.
  8. Rink didn't pass the "can this guy make a difference for us winning the CFP?" test. Good pickup for the aggies though. If they're in the process of reorienting around the notion of being a development school, like KSU, Iowa, or Kentucky, they'll be a consistently good 9-4/8-5 program. I don't think the mouthbreathers will let Elko settle into that, but it looks like he's got something trending towards the right idea.
  9. Choice has told folks that he has 5 future NFL TBs in his room, right now. He knows it sounds crazy. I think it's silly, but I haven't really seen Wisner outside of his ST prowess and a few garbage time plays, so what the fuck do I know? They are going to move the ball around a lot with all of these TBs and they are working on more 2 back stuff as well. 1) Chatman is taking the 2nd RT spot. 2) A long time scout of the area including UT says that Wingo is the best WR they've had on campus since Roy Williams. He can do shit that no one else can. They're working somewhat urgently with him to learn presnap reads and formation responses so that they can have him out there early and often next season. That's the biggest issue for Sarkisian playing freshmen and it is what limited snaps for Moore and Cook last season.
  10. I'm interested in hearing details from HJ on this one.
  11. That shit is crazy. The Elk Regime is really off to an amazing start.
  12. This is the same lamentation that coaches and ex-coaches make on XM84 all day long. It’s tiring. Don’t like the role now? Feel free to step out of line and watch 100 more show up and try to replace you. That game done changed, get over it or the get the fuck out. What amazes me is why anyone cheering for and/or supporting Texas would look at this era in any sport as a negative. Texas is one of the biggest net-gainers from portal + NIL times. Now, we have a tiny clown in baseball rendering advantages things moot currently and we may potentially have a normal sized clown in basketball doing the same, not sure yet, but that’s on coaching, not the era.
  13. I hate this kind of take as much as I hate the fucking sunshine pumping that you’ve been doing all baseball season. You’re not the only poster that follows multiple sports. Posters on the baseball or basketball boards don’t magically know more about either sport because they type about them more. Same as football posters. I don’t care if Texas winds up going 2 and a Q again in Omaha and some of you “David Pierce just needs 7 more years!” guys wind up feeling vindicated by that this season. This is a bad year with a team that has holes in it. Year 7 with a solid NIL foundation means that the fucking midget coaching the team shouldn’t get any benefit of the doubt when consistently losing to unknown or bad baseball programs.
  14. Texas lost to Corpus Christi? LOL. This trash is indefensible.
  15. The banks don’t handhold that stuff. Billions are moved around in wires everyday. You need your login credentials and a token code to match the dynamic authentication code and you’re good.
  16. If you're looking for the local high society and a very tightly packed collection of the local hot female scene of every age, get a drink at Hall's Chophouse. It's in the middle of everything and they usually have someone playing something for the room. I think it's a great vibe and great people watching. The food is excellent, but ignore that and go to a non-steakhouse after giving yourself an hour or two there in the bar area. The donut place that lost their young female owner to a terrible car crash was really good when we there last summer. It's right in the middle of things too. People poopoo Lewis, but that place was as good as just about any in Texas and their daily specials looked pretty fucking delicious. Sides were great. Minimal line at lunch. I think it's worth it if you're in the area and missing the meat sweats. I didn't read the whole thread, but Fort Sumter is worth a two hour excursion. You don't have to commit much time, you get a nice boat ride of the harbor, and you get to see where the hot war started for the Civil War. Everything else in this thread has already been scattered, smothered and covered, so here's hoping you guys have yourself a time.
  17. The simple way to sort this, if they really like Russell (and there is growing evidence that they do), is to just tell Lacey next weekend or whenever he's in Austin next is that they're taking 2 QBs in this cycle. He goes back to Bama and decommits, then Texas takes Russell. Moore decommits this summer and commits to Texas shortly thereafter. Bing bang boom.
  18. Touchbacks now move to the 30 yard line. It starts to become punitive to make those happen. It will be adopted next year. Kirby Smart is part of one of the committees collaborating on this and he said that if it goes well this year in the NFL, there is more or less uniform agreement to adopt it in the NCAA. This kind of return set-up incents more gameplay while also making the play itself safer. It therefore gives younger players more experience on meaningful snaps, which almost all college coaches want. I see no downside as a fan. I find the current KO set-up to be boring as hell.
  19. One autocorrected misspelling of such a thing in 25 years of posting and you felt the need.
  20. How about the opposite of all of that? What if someone emerges that causes Texas to rethink it's options?
  21. Some things to think about for this cycle: -The ranking of this class will only be limited by how many high school players Sarkisian wishes to take. If they take 27+, I think they'll be ranked in the top 3. Less than that, top 5. -They're getting outreach from players and their camps at multiple positions. NIL rep helps, but so does putting guys into the league and running a style of play that guys find attractive. In a stacked in-state class at WR, they're getting national interest and could take basically whoever they want. OL looks similar. -Notice how they're working OVs for more players than they have scholarships available at numerous positions. You're seeing it at OL, Edge, DT, TE and DB. I would not be surprised to see some more Nate Kibbling happening this cycle at some of these spots. You want in? We need your commitment now or we can't take it. We have a bunch of guys coming in next week for the same position if we don't have your commitment. Obviously that isn't going to happen to the truest 5 stars, but it could happen at a very, very high level of talent in various spots. -Notice how they're not working on back-ups at a few spots. That indicates, to me, that they know who they're getting and the NIL element is already sorted. There isn't a backup plan for RB1, MLB1, OLB1. -Some of what Texas does at the HS level is going to be informed by this next transfer cycle. They're expecting to lose some guys at the 3rd string level even they don't want to do so. They have to no matter what. If they lose 4 OL instead of 1-2, that means 5-6 OL instead of 4-5. Similarly at LB or DT. Positions that they'd generally do better developing than grabbing from the portal will play a bigger role in the class. -The QB thing is kind of weird and might get weirder. -If there is more than another 1-2 commits ahead of June, I'd be kind of stunned.
  22. Are Purdue and Duke considered bad landing spots? They're P5 bowl teams. Who is losing a backup QB that lands at a blue blood in a starting role? Not many.
  23. My roommates and I used to go to the one on or near Oltorf and just punish that buffet. We did it regularly and there'd always be a pot of $15-$30 (depending upon how many people went) for whoever had to sprint to the bathroom first. Rarely would the pot roll over to the next visit. It was uncanny. Apparently still worth it, however, because we kept going, and then sprinting.
