  1. I mean- I think it’s like 15 or 20k a year per TE. Would you hang out with you for a mere 20k if you didn’t have to?
  2. I’m not super impressed with anything I’ve heard about that crew, and will leave it at that. Not bad people or anything, but not the Mannings let’s say.
  3. Thats interesting on the Ewers camp on Bond, but what’s the bitch about (or why would they even have an opinion on) Makuba?
  4. Sure. But you could also say at least 2 guys or at least 10, both are true but convey totally different things coming from the speaker.
  5. He’s just a dude that’s always looking for an anvil to fall that has scars of so much shitty football at Texas that it orients him to say silly things like “Texas is going to have at least 8 guys drafted” when it’s at least 11 no doubters, or predict us to get boat raced by Bama or the like. the flip side is he is incredibly grateful for and appreciates any success we have and doesn’t take it as a birthright or anything. I like Bobby for sure- this isn’t a criticism, just my take on his orientation.
  6. I’m told that Bond might be the dumbest human being to ever don the burnt orange and whit. I alluded to that during fall camp. This isn’t a surprise.
  7. Blocking as well as Helm isn’t a high bar to clear.
  8. Not a ton of doubt, but it’s costing 7 figures, so that’s loosening the Jenga tower that is roster building.
  9. I hope you are right and I’m wrong. The WR room is ok if Wingo becomes a certified badass. The frosh wont be that- best you can probably hope for from them is wingo like production this year which is fine, but aggregates to about a #3 or #4 on a good team. Want one more badass in case Wingo isn’t an all sec type.
  10. If any position is worth handwringing over it’s WR and kicker. There’s some other “nice to have” stuff like DT or maybe a TE or maybe a RB but I think we are fine there. We absolutely need another stud WR with 1 year of eligibility before the room takes care of itself and a championship caliber team needs a trustworthy kicker. That shit will get you beat as both us and OSU experienced this year.
  11. Sorry, I wasn’t actually talking about yall back and forth, more the people who are saying we have to get a TE in the portal. I’ve maintained since the moment I saw Washington’s highlights and then heard him on with Bobby and Gerry that he was gonna be awesome. Smart, good make up, tons of athleticism, maximizer and no bullshit. That’s a combo that kills it. And Townson is causing Gerry orgasms behind that. I’d like to see us get out of the 12 package business altogether so, it’s trending just fine for me.
  12. Washington is going to be awesome. Lots of handwringing about the TE position for nothing.
  13. Yep yep yep. They are done as a hegemon and NIL fucked them up the ass. They are the worst of the "just cheaters" in the last 15 years in my opinion. Good for them for making it happen when they had that competitive advantage unlike retarded younger brother in college station, but fuck those guys so fucking hard. Will be good to show them how our ass tastes in October at their crib. obnoxious room temperature IQ dipshits from every interaction IRL and online I've had with those shit eating sister fucking morons. In a week we are going to do the same analysis on Ohio State as all their guys go pro, they are polishing their trophy, they don't have a base to make going nuts in the transfer portal make any sense to them (hell I'd tell Downs thanks for the memories- go be awesome somewhere else if he was my only returner on defense) Day might be out the door- you know the clown show that is OU and aggy, and Texas will have a schedule next year that while having some brand names on it is in fact, charmin soft.
  14. That makes me sad and I wish he would have transferred so I can point and laugh and that can stand as an object lesson for all time.
  15. Or Lake Charles is an easy 2 our drive for me.
  16. 86 and 3rd in AL and first in the AL in the over under. I’m hammering over and division winner.
  17. I love Bobby but he’s doing that silly Bobby thing where he sits down to pee. “Look guys, I think a minimum of 8 longhorns get drafted this year”. uh, thanks Bobby. Gerry had 12 or 13 with broughton as the differential between the 2 numbers. He’s getting drafted folks.
  18. Officially? No. He's coming back though per everything I've heard/read/seen.
  19. All this is true. Teams draft QB's higher than they should b/c it's so important to success in the nfl and this year is a real tallest midget competition at QB.
  20. It's not about Quinn in that scenario I'm just saying I wouldn't take any of these guys and if I absolutely had to take a QB I'd trade down from 1-3 or 4 and pick up draft capital to have me ready to take Sanders, then I'd trade down again to pick up more capital to someone who wanted him and if an owner put a gun to my head I'd rather have the 3rd best guy at the ass end of the 1st round with all the extra picks from the 2 trade downs than anyone else. I think Quinn is probably the 3rd QB gone, but I wouldn't take him unless I was forced to. I just HATE this QB draft all the way around.
  21. Nothing you are saying is wrong. When I say I'm looking into the future and could be wrong on this, but I doubt it- I'm not saying I'm never wrong, or even merely wrong, what I'm saying is that I think, shit not falling apart, it's more likely than not that Texas has the most talented roster in the country going into the 2025 season. Could that change? Of course. But I doubt it. I think the roster is better May 1 than it is today, and I think today it's better than anyone else's. Could that change? Sure. What I'm saying is that I know the duck is paddling hard under water (and damn do I appreciate it) and I'm speculating that it continues to go down that way and we are in really good shape. If I'm speculating on the future (which is the whole point of this thread) I bet we don't lose anyone on the two deep after spring ball and we add at least 1 impact level all conference player (hopefully at WR- maybe at CB) and 2 or 3 depth pieces (likely interior DL or maybe one there, a kicker and a TE if Washington isn't the dude I think/expect him to be). Anyone mocking concerns over NIL should be instead mocked and ridiculed b/c they clearly are dipshits. The counterfactual shit you talk about is fascinating. I was having almost this exact same conversation with my wife (over a political subject so I won't bring it up) last night over cocktails as we were talking about how one outcome doesn't have to be good in the real world to be a good decision b/c it might have prevented another worse option in it's place. End of the day we have 3 AA's (maybe 4) either returning (Taafe & Hill) or almost certain to be if healthy (Simmons) on Defense, plus another 4 or 5 2026 draft picks beyond those 3 (likely) in Burke, Moore (if he's back), Manny, Guilbeu, and a shit ton of really talented freshmen from the #1 class. On Offense it's the Vegas odds favorite for the Heisman at QB, Wingo who should be a hoss, plus whatever other talent we can pick up in the portal, and a bunch of 5 star WR frosh coming in and what looks like a decent OL that will be a step back but still pretty solid. There are lots of people on this site that project doom and gloom and negativity onto everything, or act like if we don't have a returning AA at every position coming back we suck, without looking at the context of a very manageable schedule and a decided talent advantage over almost everyone on the schedule, and an experience edge on the 2 teams we don't have a decided talent advantage over in GA and OSU. But yeah- if Sark goes pro or some shit blows up in the locker room than I'm wrong and I will be very very sad. But, I'm on a 3 year heater of saying the arrow is pointed directly up, the nay sayers are wrong etc and I'm going to go ahead and continue to bet that trend. None of this is saying anything you are saying is wrong and I enjoyed reading that- I'm just fleshing out what I mean when I say "I doubt I'm wrong" and recoginizing that there is shit that could derail it but I'm betting against that shit happening.
  22. I think I'd rather have Quinn at 33 (but I'd trade up to 32) plus the draft capital I got from trading down with whoever than just take Ward #1. That doesn't seem like a 1.1 guy to me, seems like a force. And I say that as a guy who wouldn't have Quinn on my draft board, probably, such is my stay away factor from Ward at 1.1.
  23. No/ they have 5 days from their game Monday for portal AND draft declarations. Also- not super likely but if he was the only guy slated to return on defense I wonder if he’d be interested in transferring. He already left Bama. I wouldn’t want to be the sole survivor in my contract year were I him.
  24. My bet is he goes before that. I’d guess first round more likely than 75 or later.
  25. True. But with all the attention we get it would be shocking if someone told the school to put them in today and we didn’t hear about it until Friday.
