  1. Same argument with Wingo. But if it’s higher than those two that starts to get non-replaceable…
  2. No, checking out mentally during the playoffs is what would make him mentally weak. Go win it all and go get paid- sure- whatever. Decide you are gone and then short time it during the playoffs? Fuck off with that shit- finish your commitment (financial) to your employers and your implicit commitment to your teammates.
  3. Except for the fact that a lot of what those people are doing is based upon reading of fed tea leaves, so… it’s pretty interconnected. I’m not smart enough to tease out which is which.
  4. I mean- yeah I get that. Probably worth it for the deterrent value alone going forward.
  5. Yeah- some people are reporting 2. That would mean Wingo or Hill not Wingo and Hill, but maybe it’s all 3 (assuming manny is 1 for sure which seems fair). Which- cool- whatever. I think he’s better than he played the last 2 games but if he’s checked out during the playoffs fuck him/ go be mentally weak somewhere else.
  6. Fuck it. Go get Williams from Bama. They are poor. And it would be fun. If it’s Wingo as I assume is one. If it’s Hill and Manny and not Wingo go get Williams anyway. except that stupid sec to sec spring transfer rule. Is that still a thing?
  7. You are assuming the elites running the fed are actually elite. I’m not willing to grant that assumption at this time.
  8. Well, when I’m hoping the two guys are “only” Manny and Wingo I’m not in a happy place.
  9. Bond officially going pro. Like that the same way I like Blue going pro. Rather they get drafted as Longhorns for recruiting/portal thread than go somewhere else and have a big season and make it look bad for us. That guy really torched his status on the way out the door. The anti-Golden. Decisions left (and my guess) Williams (gone- too much money to pass up) Campbell (back- I kept saying look for him to go, and that was the direction he was leaning apparently, but I think the tape is likely catching up with him at a non-elite position of guard instead of tackle) Taaffe (back- hometown hero- this is his passion- can still get better if he adds 10 pounds between here and coming out) Moore (gone- but maybe that's just pessimism- Gerry/Bobby are saying back as is IT- but they'd all had him gone I think for the last month)
  10. Sure. The problem is it’s off 90% of the time in one direction lately. It should be 50/50.
  11. I wonder how much of the "shitty draft class at WR" has to do with shitty QB play after the Covid time went out, and how much of shitty QB play we have seen might be lack of normal top end WR talent. I don't love hearing that Texas coaches love the WR room as is- I think my #1 portal ask right now would be legit WR #1 (even over DT) as I like the two guys we got- I like what I saw from January, I like what I'm hearing about Terry and if the Edges and LB's are as good as I think they are going to be the front 7 will be nasty. I know we will end up with another body or two at DT, but I don't think they need to be game breakers. We don't have any game breakers at WR to my way of thinking. Sure, development does happen and maybe the freshmen are really good- but none of them seem to project to be a Smith or Williams or even Wingo for that matter. So, I bet on worse at running this WR room back without our top two producers from this year and adding in 4 frosh. I guess the upside here is that's a pretty Darwinian room for Sark as he likes to keep it to only really playing 3 or 4 guys, so, whatever. If Blue wants to transfer I won't rend any garments or wear ash and sack cloth or anything, but I hope he just goes to the NFL so I don't have to devote anymore headspace to thinking about him after the rollercoaster he's been on the last 4 years going back to high school headcase. I would say on balance we got the win out of his production here the last 3 years, but I don't know the opportunity cost and think we probably are cutting ties at the right time.
  12. Longhorn decisions on draft entry and protal entry both due on Wednesday. Confirmed Draft as of 1/13: Quinn, Banks, Blue, Golden, Bond, Gone but not official: Williams, Savea (transfer) Leaning to coming back: Taaffe, Moore Checking on his draft stock still (before coming back if he listens at all): DJ Campbell. Exhausted Eligibility: Helm, Davis, Majors, Broughton, Collins, Lole, Norton, Gbenda, Blackwell, Makuba, Barron, Sorrell, Holmes, Bolden, Connor
  13. Golden at 23 for all players? That's absolutely wild. I'd be thrilled for him if he made it into the second round- pretty happy for him to be a 3rd round guy. I didn't have Blue in my last draft post speculation so, yeah agreed. He better get some serious track coaching skills and figure out how to kill that 40, which is dumb, but still apparently a thing. I'm glad he declared as opposed to the transfer portal from a selfish perspective as I'd rather see someone else take his spot at RB and/or whatever NIL resources he would command, but I also didn't want to see him go get 1800 all purpose yards somewhere else and never put a ball on the carpet. He either adds another longhorn to the draft or doesn't make us look bad by succeeding elsewhere. Win/win.
  14. You know NFL teams like natural traits that are elite- low 4.3's are elite for RB's, probably gets someone to take him at the ass end of the draft. I agree with you in principle that he's well down the list of draftable running backs this year, for sure, and lean toward he doesn't get drafted unless he burns up the track. 14 TD's in big time ball including 5 in the last 4 games isn't nothing. He's a gadget player that hasn't helped himself on special teams like K Robinson did, but if he's fast enough he's certainly has a chance to get drafted. Him, Holmes, Connor, Gbenda all slot the same way to me- unlikely to get picked but I wouldn't be as shocked as if I woke up with my head sewed to the carpet. Of the 4 of them he's the most likely to get taken if he puts up good numbers at the underwear Olympics.
  15. My bet is if he runs under a 4.35 he gets drafted in line the 6th or 7th round. If he doesn’t he’s udfa.
  16. Agreed. One bad game (Clemson) and one shitty play against ASU. We had the Thorpe award winner opposite him and our Thorpe guy was targeted more than him.
  17. Welp, nobody gets the prize of 2 free tickets to national title game. Every vote seemed to be to donate it to Burnt Endz. $1,000 to @immamacto give to the TE room. tell me how you want it sir.
  18. Texas is currently the favorite to win the national championship in 25, much like Ohio state was after the draft and portal wins they had last year around this time. let’s hope that come February 1 the oddsmakers still have us #1 to win it. I’d obviously bet field in any endeavor like this, but as of today I can’t see any other team that has the same quality of roster we have, and I’d guess it gets better after portal one and portal 2 wrap up. Heady times right now friends. Enjoy.
  19. When I do a deal like that I send an email with 10 questions. 1) name 2) address 3) email 4 phone number 5 sales price 6) do you have a survey… stuff like that. I say get together, answer all of these, send it to me from both of yall- if you aren’t in agreement on all the data go get an agent to help you sort it out and negotiate. I’m basically just identifying the blanks to be filled in, provided they do actually have agreement on everything. if you decide to do that I can give you the actual full list and you can do that at your open house if you want- no problem.
  20. If he becomes WR #1 and we bring in another WR #1 all the better.
  21. Almost never write contracts. Only when a buyer comes to me with a no realtor deal (usually when buying from a family member) and I do it for free. I have zero desire to be in competition with potential referral partners. similarly, when I do any legal work like deeds or releases or the like for my clients I do them gratis.
  22. Decent chance we are better next year than this year. Lb should be better by virtue of getting older. Edge should be better for the same reason. DT a step back but not as much as everyone thinks. If Taaffe comes back and Williams is healthy we will have 4 guys at safety that will be really good. Guilbeuaux a year older and in his contract year. I think Manny will be fine to really good. Maybe he takes a step and is elite. I’d like to see a couple corners come in the portal but they might already be on campus. If Terry had a Simmons like freshman season things get really interesting. Also, I expect every team on our schedule to be more or less dogshit offensively next year except maybe Florida, so… the defense will be elite level fine in all likelihood. Like, top 5 defense again by the numbers in the game. Really only spot we are glaringly lacking that absolutely needs to be filled in the portal in my opinion is WR1. We need a stud.
  23. I had a couple people connected tell me he might be the dumbest motherfucker to ever don the orange and white and diplomatically posted something like that during fall camp and said adjust expectations accordingly. Not OKG. Then he started strong and I thought my guy got it wrong. Nope.
