  1. Trying to find fuel to a Phil Knight/Nike Conspiracy. 

    NC State- Just reupped with Addidas last year

    Kentucky- Nike through 2025

    Nevada- Adidas through 2024. Was Nike previuosly

    Utah- Under Armour through 2027

    Navy- Under Armour. Will always be 

    Michigan- Nike. One of the largest Nike deals

    Miami OH- Adidas? 

    Nebraska- Adidas

    Notre Dame- Under Armour

    K State- Currently Nike but there will be a bidding "war" after this season

    Virginia Union- Under Armour?

    Montclair St U- Adidas

  2. Some notes on our schedule next year even though nobody asked: 

    At Michigan- Currently on a 28 game (29 after week 1 '24) regular season win streak and have won 35 of 36 in the regular season. 

    VS Georgia- They have a 39 game regular season win streak that could balloon up to 45 or so depending on outcome against Bama and their BYE week situation. If they 3 peat and come into Austin undefeated their overall win streak will be either 39 or 40. 

    VS Florida- First meeting since 1940 and looking to remain undefeated vs the Gators all time (2-0-1). Florida has not scored a point against Texas since 1924, let's keep that streak alive.

    VS Kentucky- First meeting since our only matchup in a 1951 win vs the Wildcats. Bear Bryant was the head coach at Kentucky and suffered the first of his 7 losses to Texas. 

    VS Miss St- First meeting since the '99 Cotton Bowl. Looking to break a 2-2 tie all time. 

    At Vandy- First meeting since 1928. Vandy holds a 8-3-1 advantage and is one of two in the SEC with a winning record vs Texas (South Carolina has a 1-0 advantage).

    VS OU- Will have a full bag of dicks or two in tow to our first matchup in the SEC. 

    At a&m- On game day 2024 they will have not beaten Texas in 5,119 days.

  3. There is zero evidence this will work based on his resume both before and after he became a head coach.

    In 12 years with Dave Clawson they won 10 games and a conference title one time in 2013 at BGSU. Their biggest win during this time was over #16 Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game. 

    In 1 year with Kelly at ND they were 10-3 with a citrus bowl win over LSU. Their best win was over a #11 USC led by Clay Helton. 

    In 4 years with Fisher they had 1 good season at 9-1 in a year with only 1 good opponent which ran over them. Their best win was vs #1 Alabama who played for the CFP championship in 2021. 

    In 2 years at Duke he has lost to Kansas, GT, UNC, Pitt, and Virginia who are all 8-4 or worse the last 2 years. His defining win was the worst Clemson team in 13 years. 

    In 14 years of being a DC or HC he has finished ranked a grand total of 4 times with one top 10 finish. 

    Charlie Strong had twice the resume Mike Elko has.

    Taking Johns with him would be Elko’s first critical mistake. This of course pleases me. 
     

    If they bring Leonard too, Weigman is gone. It could be a nice short term pop but it would set the program back. 

    Leonard has 3 TDs and 3 INTs this season. Even in blowouts he didn't impress so taking him over Leonard would be a crushing blow to his time at a&m.
