  1. I'm circling back to notifications and say these two. What am I supposed to be doing with these?
  2. I have to say, if Saban got so hung up on Hampton that he's pushing NIL in that direction at the last minute, I can find fulfillment in that. Texas will not be moving anything around for Hampton, you can bet that.
  3. Boy, Daddy98 is running Melko over repeatedly on 247. So is "Chubbs Peterson" who they view as an insider. 98 is now calling Elko "Elko Fudd" which actually made me laugh. He actually does look like a real life Elmer Fudd. A photoshop of his visage in the Elmer Fudd costume might look like real life.
  4. That guy they're bragging about keeping was a late take in last year's class. They bought him out from underneath Nebraska and CU, if memory serves, for nominal NIL dollars. He's the kind of recruit you don't offer NIL to, frankly. What ATM is doing with the updates on players choosing to stay is truly bizarre. Is anyone else announcing that random players on their roster are returning for the spring semester? I've never even heard of that kind of thing.
  5. I know I mentioned this with some detail a few days ago, but in reading these updates, I can't help but truly marvel at the abject idiocy of the aggie and Melko efforts. That fat dipshit shows up, gets a look at his limited NIL, and then tries to reset expectations with an entire recruiting class. Who could have seen something crazy like most of the recruits with other attractive NIL options deciding to pause and do a review of their options, of which the aggie option now looks like one of the worst paths? Weird.
  6. Maybe blight is a better way of viewing this. Are you fine living with a little blight in your crops or forest? Or do you want it removed, root and branch? No, fuck. The "Evan Stewart catching the winning TD at Kyle Field" plotline that you dipshits keep parroting is utterly nauseating. If aggie misery is more important to you than Texas winning, whether in recruiting or as a program, then that is shit best kept to yourself. That's how aggies live. Most of us don't want to lose Wingo. Most of us paying attention have no interest Evan Stewart coming anywhere near the UT program. Let him be a bitchass diva somewhere far away. I'd like to see Texas get a chance to play him next year and knock him on his ass. You're rationalizing. No one needs a silver lining. Hoping that a WR from Arizona, who has bragged about how excited he is to be leading the building of that culture and program and has never discussed a transfer, would go in the portal and pick Texas, without any affiliation, is just pure fan fiction. USC offered the guy's agent mid-6 figures last year to transfer out. Whoever started talking him up as a transfer candidate should be fired from their $9.95 job for making the rest of us see this shit repeatedly pop up now.
  7. Wingo's dad doesn't need bag money. They have a long history of sending Wingos to places other than Mizzou. Ryan Wingo going there would be a stunner. Drinkwitz reminds me a lot of Muschamp as a HC. Media people love the guy because of how he handles them. He doesn't have the same personality as Muschamp, but Muschamp was great with media in that he'd feed people offline every kind of scuttlebutt they want to hear or report. So he'd always get a ton of love in the media and then when he had a good season at UF, boy, that machine was about to roll. Listening to XM84 lately, they're talking the same way about Drinkwitz at Mizzou. Then, I remember that I've watched the guy coach, and I smirk. Yeah, he's 10-2. He also got a delay of game called on him with :03 on the clock and made his kicker attempt a 61 yarder instead of 56 yarder against KSU. The guy inherited a senior-laden team at App State, coached them to 11-1 and left after one season ahead of the bowl game and went to Mizzou. At Mizzou, he's had 3 seasons below .500 and now this fortuitous season. I guess we'll see if that's built to last. Their schedule is Charmin soft again next season and he returns a ton of experience, so maybe he's got a shot, but I'm ... from Missouri on that one.
  8. Sarkisian has spent a lot of time working to keep Hampton. That's as much about setting a standard in the state at this point as it is the value of the player. If you want to see it differently and go full milquetoast on Saban just doing whatever the fuck he wants in recruiting, that's your prerogative. Do I think Hampton amounts to anything at the next level? No. He has every red flag. I don't give a fuck about that at this point. I don't think the two head coaches are worrying about that now either.
  9. This isn't an admonishment or anything, but just letting folks know that Modden has serious personal issues. It sounds like it would be any parent or friend's worst nightmare. Good luck to him and his folks.
  10. It's a phenomenon that exists, yet I don't really understand why, but the guy/girl that acts smarter than anyone else in every room they're in can climb ladders for awhile if they're around the right people. I've seen it in business and it happens all of the time in sports, media, and celebrity. Arthur Smith is currently the HC of the Atlanta Falcons. I can't really understand how he's in that spot other than he's a smug verbal bully that talks like he has a clue. I feel like people must have been walking away from conversations with that guy for most of his life saying "well, I don't really agree with much of what that fat asshole said, but he sounded confident and he is Fred Smith's son, so maybe he knows his shit?" Herman is a master at the same game without the billionaire father.
  11. Take this stupid shit to the appropriate thread and be wrong somewhere else, please.
  12. It's time to start negging people who perpetuate the "Wingo is still asleep" stupidity.
  13. You can be fine with Hampton flipping all you want, but I despise the premise. Fuck Nick Saban and Alabama. Losing Hampton and saying "ah, well, no big deal", at this point, would be really fucking irritating to witness from people here. Getting Smith would be great and all, but I don't measure pleasure in college sports through the lens of aggie tears. Those are nice and all, but that won't make me feel better about losing Hampton or Wingo.
  14. If you guys really believe the "Wingo's still asleep" silliness, you are dumber than the idiot reporting it, and that would be quite a feat. Worse than the ongoing commentary about who is doing things right today and who isn't, which is tedious and nauseating on this thread today, is this kind excusemaking for idiots that aren't worth the stanning.
  15. Nahlin doesn't know shit. You have to assume he's just making shit up right now.
  16. I love the guys who are claiming that transfers rarely work out. One guy says it and others back it up. Yeah, it never happens. Not with Texas with Watts, Ewers, or Mitchell. Not FSU with most of their skill position starters. Not UW with Penix, Oregon with Nix, so on and so forth. Just idiots posting idiotic shit.
  17. Raw materials. Saban is certainly assuming he can fix him, just like he's fixed coaches. I'm not sure he's terribly wrong. The last 3 transfer classes have each helped Bama collectively in their production. Transfers in to Bama, looking at it quickly: 2021: To'oTo'o - He was fine at Tennessee and fine at Bama. Not sure there's anything wrong here, but not a great example of cleaning up a mess of a player after a transfer. Jameson Williams - Who the hell knows if Bama turned this guy into a witch, but he was witch for them. Probably a good example. Jack Martin (P) - No clue but he also transferred out as a GT. 2022: Gibbs - He was excellent at GaTech and excellent at Bama. Burton - He looked more promising at Georgia than his development at Bama. He's been their leading receiver, and I don't give one shit if the mock drafters are sucking him off, but he's not a star and doesn't strike fear into the hearts of defenses. Ricks - He fall off a cliff at Bama and was in conflict with Saban for much of his time there. Bust of a transfer with high hopes. Tyler Harrell - At Miami now, I don't remember him doing much at Bama. Tyler Steen - He was excellent at Vanderbilt (2 time All SEC) and Bama poached him as a GT. He was excellent at Bama and became a 3rd round pick. 2023: Dippre - I thought this was a bizarre take to shore up the TE spot and, while he's played plenty, he's just a dude on the field. Maybe he's an exceptional blocker, but I haven't heard much on that. Frankly, he had better numbers at Maryland than Bama. Trezmen Marshall - He had a good year at Bama after being an oft-used backup at Georgia. He's a fine example for turning the career up for a transfer. Jaylen Key - Elevated himself in eyeballs going from UAB to Bama but he performed better as a player at UAB. Trey Amos - Solid backup who played a lot this year for Bama. Not a similar transfer to Overton in that this guy wanted to move up a level and show that he could compete even though he was no longer assured of starting. Tyler Buchner - Full on bust who was better at Notre Dame.
  18. Hopefully? I would be blown away at this point if Texas stays involved on that one. Therefore, I’d be fine if went the way of Alfred Collins for someone else.
  19. I doubt Texas goes after Domani Jackson, but the guy has years of eligibility left, has all of the raw materials, and likely just needs some actual coaching to be a hell of a player. I’m assuming he’ll be heading to Bama shortly.
  20. ATM decided that they had to have a win over Texas and Alabama in recruiting. Apparently the number offered Williams would make anyone hit the pause button. These rubes can’t do anything right.
  21. Watching that guy cry at the end of his video is one of the greatest moments of my life as a fan of UT sports. Nebraska thought they’d just show up and roll whomever because that has been the story of the life of those freshmen in competitive volleyball during their youth. Unfortunately for them, they underestimated the time honored tradition of their program shitting itself across sports when it sees the college sports equivalent of the bat signal:
  22. Followed this thread again all year and enjoyed reading the intelligent commentary from many of y’all. Light the fucking tower. That was a fun beating to watch.
  23. All these motherfuckers need to see, in any sport, is the logo and they reflexively shit themselves. That was a complete dismantling.
  24. “Do I look like I’m going on vacation, sir?” SIAP, but I hate that fucking commercial more than famine or cheerios. I’ve never pondered physically beating a woman into a body cast until watching that commercial and that whiny TSA glutton. If I could jump through the monitor and start pummeling her, I’m convinced that the rest of the cast would start cheering me on. That broad was in the opening “rule of thumb “ scene in The Boondock Saints.
