Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Bevo replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Yeah, that is the question. If he can get drafted and make more in the draft than through NIL then he should go this year. Next year, no matter how much he improves, he will not be one of the top 5 quarterbacks. -
And finals are always in Dallas?

Is this redundant or is there a distinction between the two?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

https://247sports.com/college/oklahoma/article/john-mateer-weighing-options-before-deciding-2026-plans-267223821/ NORMAN — Less than two hours after his first season at Oklahoma ended in the first round of the College Football Playoff, John Mateer was uncertain about what the future held. The Sooners' starting quarterback said late Friday night that he does not yet know what his plans are for next season. The redshirt junior has a year of eligibility remaining and could return to Oklahoma for a second season, or he could declare for the NFL Draft in what's shaping up to be a potentially thin quarterback class. "I really haven't thought about it yet," Mateer said after Oklahoma's 34-24 loss to Alabama. "I'm pretty sure I'll take some time and weigh all the options, and we'll see." According to ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., Mateer is the No. 4 quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft class, if he chooses to declare. Kiper has Mateer ranked behind Oregon's Dante Moore, Indiana's Fernando Mendoza (the reigning Heisman Trophy winner) and Alabama's Ty Simpson. Like Mateer, both Moore and Simpson have eligibility remaining and have not announced any intentions one way or another (both Alabama and Oregon are still competing in the College Football Playoff). Underclassmen have until Jan. 14 to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft, so Mateer has 3 ½ weeks before he needs to make a decision on his future—though it would likely come sooner than that if he were to declare, since the transfer portal opens Jan. 2, and Oklahoma would likely need to explore available options if Mateer turns pro. -
FIFY - Akina was of no help.
-
Nevermind, he is a senior.
-
It it happened, I wouldn't mind tampering Barion Brown from LSU.
-
Please miss it will be very funny
-
Yes, it will be interesting to see if he can turn it around. It's interesting looking at the top WR underclassmen - not a whole lot of exciting candidates. I might consider tampering KJ Duff into the portal. But, I assume we are looking at guys with world class speed over guys with size.
-
Who cares? What is important is the product on the field.
-
Like a bunch of Killebrews?
-
That’s nowhere near Belgium. Might as well said that you are a quarter Atlantean because your grandma is from Carthage.
-
Why does Muschamp have to coach a position?
-
In the Russian soldier's defense, he probably didn't know where the fuck he was.
-
This is somewhat true as well. When you are poor and hungry, you concern yourself more with your immediate needs and focus less on others including other Russians, the Russian government and most definitely Ukraine and Ukrainians.
-
I was speaking with a Russian from southern Russia not far from Ukraine, and she tells me that most of her family back in Russia most definitely believe the Russian State Media news regarding Ukraine. She says that attitude is more the norm than the exception. Unfortunately, I didn’t ask lots of questions because she was a patient, but I found it interesting. Brainwashing is real and without easy access to many other sources of information, the Russian news dominates.

@lazygringo I was looking for more practiced eyes. Should we pool our Lockett and Ffrench NIL, let them walk, and sign Ryan Williams as our WR2?

https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-december-16-2025/ Toplines The Council of the European Union confirmed that European countries and the United States will provide “robust” security guarantees to Ukraine as part of the peace deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.[1] The Council of the European Union issued a joint statement on December 15 affirming that the United States and European leaders are committed to working together to provide “robust security guarantees” and economic recovery measures for Ukraine in the context of the peace deal. The Council agreed to provide support for the Ukrainian military in peace time; a European-led multinational force composed of forces from the Coalition of the Willing; a US-led ceasefire monitoring and verification mechanism; and a legally binding commitment to take military, diplomatic, and economic measures in the event of Russia’s reinvasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on December 16 that US and Ukrainian officials discussed legally-binding security guarantees during the talks.[2] Zelensky noted that Ukrainian and US officials will meet in Miami, Florida, to continue discussions about security guarantees, and a US official noted that US and Ukrainian working groups will likely meet over the weekend (December 20 and 21) “somewhere” in the United States, possibly Miami.[3] The Kremlin explicitly rejected US and European offers to provide Ukraine with “NATO-like” security guarantees as part of a peace deal and continued to signal its unwillingness to compromise on Russia’s territorial claims to Ukraine’s sovereign territory. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated in an English language TV interview with ABC News on December 15 that Russia “definitely will not at any moment subscribe to, agree to, or even be content with” any NATO troops in Ukraine, even if these forces are part of a security guarantee or are members of the Coalition of the Willing.[4] Ryabkov also reiterated that Russia would not compromise “in any form” on the five Ukrainian regions that Russia illegally annexed — which includes the entirety of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts and Crimea. Ryabkov notably stated that Russia has “five [regions] altogether,” effectively reiterating the Kremlin’s demand that Ukraine give up unoccupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts to Russia, and therefore signaling that Russia remains unlikely to agree to any ceasefire that would freeze the current frontline. Ryabkov reiterated Russia’s theory of victory — which claims that Russia will inevitably win by outlasting Ukrainian resilience and Western support — by stating that the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine depends on when Ukrainian supporters “recognize the inevitable outcome of [Russian] success.” Ryabkov also stated that Russia’s whole “purpose” of war in Ukraine is to have Ukrainians find out that they belong in Russia, effectively restating the Kremlin’s long-term goal of establishing control over Ukraine’s government and its people, not just its land.[5] Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov similarly reiterated on December 16 that Russia wants to “end this war” but seeks to achieve its goals, which ISW assesses include decapitating and replacing the Ukrainian government, destroying the Ukrainian military, and undermining Western unity.[6] Peskov also rejected the Ukrainian-proposed and US-supported idea of a Christmas truce.[7] The Kremlin has been effectively rejecting key points of various peace deal proposals, including the original US-proposed 28-point peace deal, such as reliable security guarantees for Ukraine or territorial swaps.[8] Russia launched an information campaign to frame the European Union and individual European countries as an enemy of the Russian people, comparable to Nazi Germany, in an effort to further militarize Russian society. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed in an interview with Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on December 15 that Europe is waging a war “under a Nazi flag” with Russia through European support for Ukraine.[9] Lavrov claimed that European leadership in Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the Baltic states is reviving “the theory and practice of Nazism.” Lavrov also claimed that Germany is involved in a “resurgence of militarism” and connected modern Finland to Adolf Hitler and the Siege of Leningrad — likely referring to historically and culturally significant events that invoke historical grievances amongst Russians. Lavrov also compared modern European leadership to historical figures such as Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte that represent an existential threat to Russia. Lavrov’s false claims that different European leaders are practicing a nebulously defined “Nazism” are distinct from Russia’s false claims that Ukraine has neo-Nazi leadership, which pertains to Russia’s false claims that Ukraine is engaged in a genocidal campaign against Russian-speaking populations living in the country. Lavrov is leveraging the term “Nazi” to identify modern European countries and their current leadership as enemies of the Russian people and to recall Soviet narratives of patriotism to prepare the Russian population to accept greater levels of sacrifices in the pursuit of the ideological defense of the Russian state for an indeterminate amount of time. The Kremlin is trying to downplay ongoing Ukrainian counterattacks in Kupyansk as Russian ultranationalist milbloggers continue to acknowledge the severity of the situation for the Russian forces. Ukrainian military sources reported on December 16 that around 200 Russian servicemen remain in Kupyansk and that Russian forces have limited logistics due to successful Ukrainian shaping and interdiction operations.[10] Russian state media has recently vastly platformed statements from Russian military officials and propagandists that downplay the situation in Kupyansk, likely in an effort to uphold a false Russian narrative that Russian forces are imminently collapsing Ukraine’s defense — a narrative aimed at influencing Ukraine and the West to make significant concessions to Russia. Russian state sources, including the Western Grouping of Forces (GoF) and an unnamed source from the Russian Joint GoF, claimed that Russian forces retained control over Kupyansk and accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of falsifying the December 11 video that he took in Kupyansk.[11] Some Russian milbloggers also amplified allegedly geolocated footage that shows two servicemen of the 121st Motorized Rifle Regiment (68th Motorized Rifle Division, 6th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) reportedly walking in southern Kupyansk, using the video to claim that Russian forces still control the settlement.[12] Other Russian milbloggers, however, continued to criticize Russian state media for failing to adequately cover Ukrainian counterattacks in Kupyansk, with one milblogger even pointing out that Russian state media is relying on the Western and Joint GoFs to conceal the battlefield situation in Kupyansk.[13] The Russian Black Sea Fleet denied the loss of a Russian submarine as the result of a Ukrainian unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) strike against the Novorossiysk Naval Base on the night of December 14 to 15 Russian Black Sea Fleet Spokesperson Captain 1st Rank Alexey Rulev claimed on December 15 that Ukrainian reports of the sinking of a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk are false and that no vessels suffered damages in the strike, and Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD)-run TV network Zvezda published footage on December 16 allegedly showing the undamaged submarine.[14] An open-source intelligence (OSINT) analyst assessed that the Ukrainian UUV detonated 20 meters from the Russian Project 636 Varshavyanka-class (NATO Kilo-class) submarine and noted that the Zvezda-published footage does not show the stern of the submarine, which was closest to the explosion site.[15] Another OSINT analyst noted that satellite imagery taken on December 16 shows that the submarine has not moved since the strike, potentially indicating damage to the submarine.[16] Ukrainian Navy Spokesperson Captain Third Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk reported that the Black Sea Fleet now only fields two submarines capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles following the strike.[17] Russian milbloggers noted that Ukraine’s ability to conduct a UUV strike inside the ostensibly secure Novorossiysk Naval Base is a serious security lapse, and reported that Ukrainian forces apparently hacked a surveillance camera at the Novorossiysk Naval Base headquarters to provide footage of the strike.[18] ISW cannot assess whether the Ukrainian UUV strike damaged the submarine from the available open-source information at this time. Key Takeaways The Council of the European Union confirmed that European countries and the United States will provide “robust” security guarantees to Ukraine as part of the peace deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Kremlin explicitly rejected US and European offers to provide Ukraine with “NATO-like” security guarantees as part of a peace deal and continued to signal its unwillingness to compromise on Russia’s territorial claims to Ukraine’s sovereign territory. Russia launched an information campaign to frame the European Union and individual European countries as an enemy of the Russian people comparable to Nazi Germany in an effort to further militarize Russian society. The Kremlin is trying to downplay ongoing Ukrainian counterattacks in Kupyansk as Russian ultranationalist milbloggers continue to acknowledge the severity of the situation for the Russian forces. Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk and marginally advanced near Kupyansk. Russian forces recently advanced in the Dobropillya and Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical areas.

I liked his music in the 80s/early 90s and wondered what he was doing when I moved back to Austin around 2010.
-
That’s what she said.
-
I probably misinterpreted your point a bit. And I agree that acting as the world’s police force is a huge tangent for another thread.
-
I’m a middle seat kind of guy. I can touch twice as many people mid-flight from that position.
-
The first part I agree with. The second part, I’m not so sure about. There are real dangers and real expenses to being the world’s police force. Yes, we gain a lot of power and influence but is it worth the financial cost and the wrath of the countrymen from the countries that we have to police? We’ve already squandered a lot of the financial success that we gained by rebuilding Japan and Europe, how much more money are we going to have to collect or print to maintain wa world police presence.
