  1. That's a good pairing, kind of like peanut butter and jelly, just about as healthy. I remember listening to mouthbreathers on XM84 casually declare that Van Dyke was a chalk top 5 pick heading into the 2022 season. Right.
  2. 1) Evan Stewart, Walker and Harvey combined last season for 16 drops. That should be a lethal trio. 2) Fatheree took like 3 snaps this season. They are talking on the 247 board like he may medically retire, but take that with a grain of salt. Still, if he comes back, he wasn't great beforehand and this will be an uphill climb. 3) Is Max Wright really coming back in an attempt to slip the sport of CFB a mickey for a 7th season? 4) I think Tony Grimes is gone. 5) Seems like there are going to be 3-4 more defections in the very near term.
  3. Get a fucking grip. You guys were tampering early and often with Riley at the helm, and benefitting significantly from it. Now everyone is doing it and the price of poker has gone way up and all of the sudden, "boo hoo, people are cheatin' momma! i want it to go back to the way it was, when we was cheatin' and only a few others were too!!" The last few years of college football have been pretty awesome in terms of watching a bunch of dirty fucking cheaters whine publicly that their old school bullshit is now flaccid and it's not fair that a bunch of new meanies with bigger wallets have shown up and slapped purple mushroom stains on their foreheads in public. Fuck Clemson. Fuck Alabama. Fuck LSU. Fuck Ohio State. Fuck Florida State. Fuck Tennessee. Fuck Georgia. And Fuck OU. And thanks for scooting over, it's about time we got a seat at the table.
  4. In the last 20 years, you had a winless season. Around the same time, Texas won a national title and played for another. Outside of the tainted title that Don James bought for you, you have no hardware and you’ve been vaguely relevant on the national level like 5 times in 50 years. We asked you to at least attempt some intelligent banner with your shit talking. You can’t do that because you lack a spine and a dick. It is time for you to go, dipshit.
  5. I respect the work she’s put in, including reputation-wise to rehab herself and become a D level celebrity and monetize it. Seriously, it’s kind of impressive.
  6. I agree. I don’t think he’s a bad offensive mind at all. He’d also be a great culture fit. People have raved about his contributions to the Texas brain trust around the program.
  7. Melko appears to be embracing the Cold War heel role of the Soviets. There are populations that crave and need freedom, but there are also populations that need to be beaten, controlled, and abused in order to feel loved. He's going to be a beacon of stern hope for those players needing to have the morale crushed in order to be molded into better men. That's going to be the College Station Way. Maybe they will go to Junction for practices.
  8. Ha. You are overstating his value here, man. The portal and NIL have adversely affected guys like Moffitt in ways that marginalize his capabilities. Dude is in his 60's, he's a hard ass, and he's not changing. He's also behind on the latest and greatest.
  9. Be skeptical all you'd like. You've been away for awhile and I don't know what you followed or remember. My view on his recruiting capabilities are buoyed by the offline views of those I know who are paid to know their shit when it comes to recruiting. He doesn't like recruiting and he doesn't prioritize it.
  10. I actually would like to schedule Nebraska as a "big" non conference game for a home and home down the line as well. They'd probably be pussies and say no, but it's worth a shot. It's not like we'd lose or anything. Roach is such a dipshit. Texas never made a push for Golden. It annoyed him at the time, so I am glad he's over it. One of my friends in the CFB space was really irritated Texas went after some other guys instead of him and said he'd be a standout at UH. He was right on that one.
  11. 1) Intimating that Sarkisian isn't a good recruiter is laughable. 2) That boring-ass CFP game against Alabama was never in doubt. Objective fans of the sport could see what it was going to be from the first snap. Washington was happy to get to the playoff, Bama had shit to take care of, shut it down. 3) Deboer is a dogshit recruiter. It's kind of stunning. You guys have every right to be fired up about the guy, but wake the rest of us up if he's in the playoffs between 2024 and 2027 at UW.
  12. That 2023 class that was ranked #4 for OU has already lost 4 of the 27 signees to the portal. Strong work early for Venables and company. Losing 15% of a class before their first Christmas on campus is quite the maneuver.
  13. Right. We want Bobby Taylor to stay where he is. They might eventually have to play that loudmouth.
  14. Regarding the Old Dominion WR that the aggies took in the portal, there is some gold on the 247 thread about him, but I'm not great on the screenshots. That said, the dude has played in 16 of 33 eligible games for ODU. He has 70 receptions in his career to go with ... 15 drops. He was not the leading receiver for ODU. They just took a guy that Texas wouldn't offer if he were coming out of high school right now.
  15. You literally could have just picked any name out of the portal at WR that Texas is also not pursuing. Knock me over with a feather if they're going after guys with serious injury histories or weak numbers. This guy will get overpaid in the portal given his years left of eligibility and his position. Wow.
  16. ag94whoop - Everything this goober wrote is exactly what ATM has been doing. It's kind of an unbelievable post if the guy is serious. It would require some understanding of what those buffoons have been up to, and then do the mental gymnastics to flip it and believe that, no, no, that's what evil Texas has been doing. Outstanding shit. Hungry - This is uncut dope, here: 1) Our recruiting class isn't good. Nonetheless, our roster by August will be awesome at a national level. 2) We need to remind ourselves that this is a .500 program over the last two years and it's going to take a long while for Melko to turn things around. 3) Melko is building a great staff. I mean, he doesn't have a DC and most of his position coaches are nowhere to be found or are unnamed, but this staff is going to be great, I just know it. 4) Melko is retaining the players. Those that he can, at least. Maybe not the ones that he needs, but he's keeping some of these guys. 5) We're going to rebuild through the portal and HS ranks! Not like everybody else, but through the portal and recruiting! That's going to take time, however, fellas, and if I know one thing, it's that we've got plenty of time to be patient! Perfect.
  17. He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter. It sounds like this has essentially boiled down to a turf war, with more coming in East Texas and across the southeast. In the 2021 cycle, Bama signed 7 players from the state of Texas. In 2022 cycle, they signed one, Jam Miller, and they had to pony up and work their ass off to beat Texas for him. In the 2023 cycle, they took 2. Texas made Alabama hustle to land Jalen Hale and then Texas showed that they were gaslighting Bama on their desire for the player by bailing on the in-home the morning of the visit. The other guy was Jordan Renaud who was old-school delivered early. In 2024, they have an IOL that Texas was never interested in from the Metroplex. Hampton matters on some level beyond his own value. This is the kind of shit that we longed for staffs to do at Texas. Send the message - You can come in to this state, but it is going to be a fucking fistfight if we have interest in the player too. You can't beat us with the under the table shit anymore and we are winning on the field too. Get fucked and go elsewhere, motherfuckers.
  18. Brown should maybe enter the portal first. Texas felt good about him last year and he sat on his ass to play for a 7-5 team this season.
  19. I just went and looked after reading your post. My rank is down about 20 from this summer, so I imagine a chunk of that could have been very recent. The reality is that there is probably a lot more movement up and down for those donating at lower levels. I was charged $2800 for 6, so I am also interested in seeing section differences. Blind bidding kind of blows.
  20. Does this idiot not realize that if what he is saying is true, it's a clear violation of NIL rules, of which there aren't many, and would have the NCAA all over them?
  21. Does anyone have a link to that story or know what in the hell happened? The video looks absurd.
  22. I picked Texas to win 12+ games and to make the playoffs. That's in multiple threads from August. Was I frustrated after the OU loss and vented a bit for some catharsis? Yes. We're not all as cool headed as you, of course. In any event, being wrong on predictions, which anyone who gambles or makes predictions is plenty of the time, versus constructing the most annoying possible scenarios in which a rival gets over on you isn't even vaguely a valid comparison, bro/dude/buddy/friend/guy.
