    Last summer at his concert in Europe, he made a strange, random comment about Taylor Swift being fake and him being authentic.

    Grohl quipped that his band calls their tour the "Errors Tour" because they "actually play live," referencing Swift's Eras Tour. 

    Aside from it being an uncalled-for comment at someone who is propping up the entire entertainment industry and providing plenty of $ for the cities lucky enough to host her concerts, his shitty concert was sparsely attended. Of course, the Swifties have been harassing him since. Following that, he got exposed for his personal life issues. 

    Quite a few artist made comments about Swift and the Eras Tour, not just Grohl and all of them can get bent.  The Eras tour is by far the most impressive concert I have ever been to and it’s insane that Swift was able to do that for like two straight years.

    That's a wild take.  While geography may not move the needle like a big ole bag of money, the school's location is definitely included in the calculus for most of these kids.  It's also helpful to the program when kids enjoy the area enough to stay put during the summer months prior to Fall Camp.  The continuity built during pass shell and summer S&C can be the difference in a championship season.  The city of Austin is a feather in the cap of Texas recruiting. 

    The ratio of championship off seasons in places like Austin, LA, Seattle and Miami vs championship off seasons in shit holes like Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Clemson and Athens is firmly in the latters favor. Championship caliber programs have their players stay on campus because that the expectation and culture of the program that is built to compete at the elite level. Austin is nice so hopefully our players stick around in the offseason is the kind of unserious approach to football that defined Texas during our 2010’s dark age. Now obviously in the era of NIL having access to Austin’s corporate NIL is an absolute super power to turbo charge the football program.

    Alabama behind Ohio State? LSU behind Oklahoma? Florida behind us? Oregon ahead of multiple national title winning programs? Who ever made this list is smoking crack

    I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but it never fails to make me question my sanity when I see Drew Allar mentioned as an NFL first rounder. That dude sucks out loud against decent competition. And mediocre competition. Motherfucker had worse stats than Quinn Ewers and he played all his the fucking games last year. And the year before. That guy sucks so fucking hard that the line at the truck stop glory holes can go for miles. 

    Hey man, I'm not sure those guys want their names being thrown out there on a public board. 

    Josh Allen has broken the brains of NFL GMs. So expect massive white dudes with big arms and mediocre college production to be selected in the first round on an annual basis.

    Yes, that’s my point. The concern is we’ll just go back into the world of playing with one hand tied behind our back. And scum fucks like tuberville know to publicly point to Texas, because it works and we don’t do shit about it. 

    The thing that gives me hope is that the SEC and its troglodytes won’t let Texas retreat into its high castle. They will be relentless in their mockery of Texas if we fall into a slump and not being in a conference full of little sisters of the poor also means won’t be able to lord over the conference from an administrative position. Being ass in the SEC is going to be an utterly miserable experience that will make it really for people at Texas to white knight.

    The problem is his opinion will be the general consensus. He si by les out Texas. Not Ohio State, who cheated for decades AND now has a massive NIL war chest. Not Oregon. Texas. And it will be the narrative. 

    That’s nothing new. DKR and Texas just let OU and Switzer drag their nuts all over us, Mack bent over for Saban and the SEC to come into Texas pillage our recruiting grounds. Dodds sat on his high horse while A&M and Nebraska went crying to anyone who will listen about evil Texas destroying the Big 12. Negative narratives about Texas thrive because lets them thrive by not combating them.

  7. I think this whole College/GM front office trend is going to permanently kill programs. The NFL and professional franchises in general operate as their own beasts and have their own internal dynamics and cultivate their talents internally given the unique nature of their business. Jim Nagy appears to have zero actual operations or management experience as in his whole career in the NFL he never rose above the title of Scout, no player acquisition, personnel management or football operations experience. This reeks of a situation where a company is trying to expand or diversify but they have absolutely no idea what they are doing so they just try to copy other successful operations and are only able to hire overly confident and under qualified individuals.

    I don't know anything about Sacramento but they seem to be huge spenders the last couple of years.
    Going for big time hires and buying recruits.  I'd guess they're using NIL to become a name in the sports world.

    On3 Andy and Ari had Marion on they show this week and he can across as trying to be Temu Deion Sanders and Colorado.

  9. Quote

    Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! reported late last night that the four major conference are circulating a draft document to its members that would bind member institutions to new House Settlement rules surrounding NIL and render punishment absolute without legal recourse (i.e. a lawsuit

    Now I am not a surly lawyer but I am pretty sure that this just has zero legal legs to stand on.

    Sorry, not exactly related, but have any current or recent members of the UT roster attempted to start a podcast, like seemingly half of current NBA players have?

    Third and Longhorn has Derrick Johnson, Alex Okafor, Fozzi and Rod B.

  11. We got a “UNC fan” that had such a great time in Omaha and was treated so well by all the Aggie fans and players that he’s now rooting for the A&M and doesn’t understand why all the other SEC teams are shitting on the Aggies. He also hopes that when UNC joins the SEC that they will be welcomed into the SEC brotherhood by A&M.

    If Arch Manning continues to play as far as we have seen then he’s winning a Heisman and a national championship. He’d have like 3.5 yards passing and 1k yards rushing and 40 TDs.

    For all the tradition, I can only think of a few Longhorns with raw athletic dominance akin to men playing against boys- Nobis, Campbell, Ricky Williams. Maybe Derrick Johnson?

    On this team, I think Collin Simmons is in that category. Is Anthony Hill? These are the good times.

    Quinn had 17 turnovers. That was probably his biggest issue last year. I once said Texas had a better chance of making the playoffs with Ewers, but Arch gave them a better chance to win a title. Reason for that is Arch could have had one of those terrible 1st time starter games, but also think he would have grown over the course of the season. That said Ewers had some ugly games (Georgia, OU, and Arkansas come to mind) and some absolute brutal turnovers that could have changed the course of the season (ASU and A&M come to mind). 

    I trying to come at this from the perspective of Sark. So the question becomes when do you bench Quinn? Texas was #1 and undefeated and statistically the most dominant team in college football going into the Georgia game. Quinn and Texas proceeded to get absolutely obliterated the first half and Sark does pull Quinn and Arch doesn’t do much better. Quinn goes back in the second half a Texas tries to close the gap but the first half disaster is too much to overcome. From the Georgia game till overtime in the SEC championship did Texas ever even trail for more than a single drive? In order for Sark to reasonably bench Quinn, Quinn would have needed to have another melt down that would have cost Texas the game or put Texas so far down that Sark would have had to bench Quinn and that just never happened. Could Arch have won us a title this year? I believe so but into order for that to happen Quinn would have had to leave after last year, and nobody though this time last year that bringing back Quinn a 3 year starter in our first season in the SEC was a bad idea.

    That would have largely required multiple TDs by the opponents defense while the offense never scored more.  For multiple games.

    From a 2nd year guy that has been educated on football his entire life.  On a team with an overall talent/experience advantage.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that.

    There is some real rose tinted glasses here, Arch made some mind numbingly bad decisions during his first two starts it’s just that they were against ULM and MSU. Arch absolutely could have had a 2022 OSU or TCU meltdown, pressing too hard and trying to make plays in big games. Also something Quinn was actually good was recognizing pressure and setting protections. There were multiple times that Arch didn’t recognize the blitz and got absolutely lit up from the second level.

    They are just delusional numb skulls. Generational morons create generational morons.

    Such a reach to try to tie their sports’ decades of failure to the military and/or agricultural sciences. West Point (Army) won NCs and Heismans since aggy’s only NC in 1939.

    Navy has played for a NC - ‘63, with a Heisman winning QB. aggy is just full of ramped up visions of falsehood that they just believe it. Indoctrination since Fish Camp.

    Hook’em!!!

    The ag school angle is even more absurd, given tons of ag schools have been dominate college football programs. Nebraska, Clemson, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Penn State, and Ohio state have all won modern national titles and been contenders for more and are also “ag schools”

    -he has excellent ball placement (position and velocity) on short and intermediate throws

    -he can make nice throws on the move or off balance

    -excellent fakes

    -good locker room guy

    Da fuck? Quinn has horrible footwork work and can’t make throws off balance and on the move and it’s a primary reason he plummeted in the draft. I genuinely think that Arch had more roll out passes and scrambles in his few starts than Quinn had in his whole career at Texas. Outside of the roll out passes during the Michigan game, Quinn either hit his checkdown or took a sack when he needed to be mobile or scramble.

    Except the way the offense looked when arch was starting, which is what sarks offense actually looks like. He runs a video game offense with insane players that create mismatches all over the field. 

    I think if he benched Ewers for real, not the takeout benching of Georgia, Quinn would have had a mental breakdown and it would have adversely affected the entire team, the locker room, and potentially recruiting opportunities. It also would have pissed off quite a few donors, sponsors etc, but I don't think sark gives a shit about that. 

    Quinn was too fucking distraught to properly celebrate being drafted and getting a chance at his life long dream of playing in the NFL, that should tell you everything you need to know about his mental resilience. 

    Shedeur Sanders acted like he went number 1 overall, not as an act, but because he was actually that fucking stoked to make it in the NFL despite what was going on. It was nonstop shadeur is sliding coverage and memes about him. 

    Some of you need to take the orange glasses off and see this for what it is.

    Watching Arch’s  highlights and something that really stood out to me was how hyped Wingo, Bond and Golden when Arch would have them make a play. Play making is contagious Arch seem to excel at that, pushing the ball down the field even if it meant he had to take a hit compared to Quinn who seemed to just want to drive the bus.
