    image.thumb.jpeg.f9b2bc7c880e2bcef7ebab296e94f2d5.jpegI’d love for Tarp to sketch out the path that turns this 7 win team that is losing their best players to the NFL and portal into a national championship contender in the offseason.

    Anything is possible I guess, maybe Alabama’s entire roster transfers to college station after the playoff and I’ll look like a idiot for shitting on project 2024 

     

    First of all, it's PLAN 2024.

    Secondly, as we speak, the Elk sharpening his antlers for a glorious charge through the SEC in 2024. Come on Tarp, it's the off season now. Time to build the rubes back up.

    Key notes from Recruiting Country

    • We don’t know how Mike Elko is as a recruiter at a place like this as a head coach. He has run the roads more now. For anybody to come up with a narrative about what kind of recruiter he is or isn't up to this point because of what you think you know, that is preemptive. It's shortsided. We don’t know yet. We have a good idea. He is organized and running the roads like crazy.

     

    One thing we can be sure of about Mike Elko is that he doesn't take his pancakes short-stacked.

    I cancelled my IT sub but I have checked in (since it won't not renew until January) to follow the secession crisis, and it seems like Gerry leaving has galvanized the others to pump more articles and do their jobs.

    There is a guy who frequently hosts named Erin Hogan who’s been an Austin radio personality for a really long time. I don’t know him, but Rod Babers speaks highly of him. His lighting situation can get odd at times, as if he’s broadcasting from some ethereal darkness, but I’m sure he’s not what you described.

    It’s been pointed out I’m probably the guy Brazil hates. I’ve been a poster on this board and it’s predecessors for many years (some of you know my handle), and enjoy the community. Shitting on people is what we do. It’s just weird when you start taking shrapnel.  

    As Post Oak posted earlier (thanks for the kinda compliment by the way?) I was a sportscaster a long time ago, then a news anchor. I left TV in 2001, got real jobs, then retired this summer at a fairly young age. I really appreciated the work Gerry Hamilton was doing at IT, and exchanged messages with him. I later saw how much work Bobby was doing on YouTube and wondered if there was some way I could help, and reached out. Suddenly, I was given a livestream to host. Hell yes I was out of practice, plus in a different format than anything I had done previously.

    I was also to just act as a facilitator, to engage the “experts” and read the questions coming in. When you’re reading a “superchat” (obligated to read those) with a rudimentary thought, it’s easy to conflate the reader with the silly/obvious/clearly misguided question (some superchats can be great questions). So, yeah, I can see where I can look like a dumbass who doesn’t know anything about football if echoing a dumbass thought. Of course,I can be a dumbass on my own, but Texas Football/Football has been my passion for years. I know it. No, I don’t know every sophomore linebacker at North Crowley who might “be on the radar.” 

    I was trained as a journalist, so I’m absolutely guilty of choosing my words carefully. That and the passage of time/slowing of synapses can interfere with one’s slickness. I’m not a hot-take-guy, so I guess that’s a ding, too. 

    I have no idea what’s going on with the channels, nor had any notice. I don’t even know if I’m to do any more shows. I was just a Texas Football fan who thought he might be able to help, keep engaged after retirement and not melt into a recliner. Also, not a rapist.

    Thanks, Ray

    Hi Ray! I enjoyed your sincerity and moderation of the chats. I hope you do more.
