  1. SURLYpeoplewhomayabsorbinformationslowerornothavetheabilitytoconnectthedotsonstuffsotospeakHORNS.com
  2. One of our former recruiting staffers is their Asst Director of Football Ops. A disciple of Taylor Searels, no doubt brought in to up their shiplap and barrel game.
  3. All informational media distributed by a for profit entity, through a for profit entity, is going to require revenue to support it's existence. You know, ads. "I don't like podcasts" would have been a fine summation. No one is taking roll. Also, Bobby Burton is a good guy and Longhorn, and Gerry Hamilton is one of the best individual contributors to recruiting coverage in the country, and hands down the best we've ever had. If I have to sit through some ads that directly support those two, so be it. OTF becoming a legitimate source of content is good for everyone and I do not understand the reflex to bitch about their efforts to promote a sustainable business.
  4. If you're going to host or store their video in an owned repo, it's pretty simple to provide for gated streaming with an open source media player widget on a member page. You're not getting platform features like subtitles and transcriptions, but it'd be ad free. And now we're beyond my very limited webdev knowledge.
  5. The twitter broadcast excludes video ads - they could embed that.
  6. I really like Shedrick and if he could stay healthy, I'd prioritize a rim protector in the portal. But he can't, so I fully expect RT to bring in another athletic tweener. Hopefully this one has a jump shot. We'll need the points.
  7. This pretzel logic does not compute. Jimbo hired future HC Elko and a lame duck OC. Elko hired Klein and a lame duck DC. Massive upgrade. Maurice Linguist > Ish Aristide - Mo left to be a HC and was replaced by......the new guy. Linguist now co-DC at Bama and Aristide is back at aggy. Massive upgrade. Jay Graham > Trooper Taylor - A week after hiring Trooper's son as an analyst, he's arrested for murder. Point Graham. Massive upgrade. Bradley Dale Peveto < Jay Bateman - Pevoto is just another guy and Bateman keeps getting fired. Massive upgrade. Price + Robinson > Spencer + Jerod-Eddie - Spencer is a legitimate hire, but TJ-E was promoted from analyst. Massive upgrade. Darrell Dickey > Colin Klein - Darrell Dickey is what Collin Klein will be in 30 years. Massive upgrade. Craig = Wiggins - They're the same guy. Massive upgrade. Jim Turner < Literally anyone else (Adam Cushing) - Actually a massive upgrade. Joe Jon Finley = Patrick Dougherty - Not really apples to apples but they have similar experience. JJF is a shit coach and I don't know anything about Daugherty. Of course, neither do they. Massive upgrade. It's actually more lopsided than I thought.

  9. According to 247, it is Wheeler. Could have been Quay Davis.
  10. Who was the last player from Skyline? It's been a while, no?
  11. While I can understand the consternation over the potential loss of some of these guys, we've never lost a projected starter to the portal. Meanwhile, of the 20 transfers in since '22, there are only a handful* that wouldn't have been starters at their previous schools the next season including Alabama, Georgia, fOSU, Clemson, etc. *Ewers, Agiye Hall, Blackshire, and maybe Billingsley. I don't remember if he'd already been eclipsed by the other TE from Alabama that we added this year.
