Certifiably Surly
  1. my view on A&M’s WR haul last year was based on the Surly recruiting folks who thought they weren’t as good as the ranking. In panning this year’s OL haul for A&M I’m wondering if that’s the case again. Agree. It was mocked heavily, a few panned out, and A&M managed to ride that roster to a bunch of wins over the lower half the conference. So in my mind he’s not shown definitively to be a good or bad portal selector yet. That’s why I just said possibly. I guess the key point I was trying to make is that I heard the board pan their portal class greatly, as well as their OL in general, and some of them delivered better than expected. I have a tendency to over-rate A&M every single year. Hell a few years ago I picked them for the playoff and I think they finished 7-5. I do that because I just can’t conceive such extreme levels of incompetence year after year. But now it’s tradition and I fear if I finally acknowledge their futility, they will finally turn it around. So surly can thank me for my misplaced belief in their program.
  2. I just don’t trust portal rankings. I don’t think 9.95’rs really know at all. But with that said, people last year were making fun of Aggie WR transfers and they turned out very good. Elko possibly knows what he’s doing wrt the portal.
  3. Watching all these clanging three pointers is brutal.
  4. Tuned in with 4 minutes left. Is it possible he just inherited a terrible culture and has to fix it?
  5. It’s been said that Sark tells players once they enter the portal they can’t come back. I’d be curious to know how they feel about certain players leaving for more money and/or playing time, but then coming back a year later as long as Texas then wants them. There is a philosophy in some companies to not take back employees that leave. The argument is that it incentivizes people to leave. Maybe. But I didn’t always manage that way. If really top talent left for opportunity, but then wanted to come back, I sometimes took them back. I got a more experienced top talent employee who saw that the grass wasn’t greener. I say all this because guys like Bo Barnes could go play for a year, get a lot of playing time, and if they left on good terms, come back. Of course they would have to have played well, the money would need to work, and Texas would need to have an opening. That might be a decent strategy for attracting talent, and being more efficient with player development. But you have to keep a good relationship with a departing player. Based on everything discussed in this thread, it seems like that isn’t happening.
  6. So I assume they let Clark walk then?
  7. Tax talk refuses to go away. Seriously?
  8. In the last three days I had two interactions with Trumpers in Minnesota that is typical of today’s environment. The first was in a pharmacy drug store. The owner had NewsMax blaring on a tv next to the cash register. After waiting in line for awhile, when I finally got checked out, I couldn’t take it anymore. As I was about to walk away I turned and said, “Do you know that NewsMax is nothing but propaganda, like Pravda for Russia?” The guy looked at me for a second and asked, “Really? Who should I be watching?” We then had a nice conversation where he said he was independent with conservative leanings and was tired of being called racist over the last few years. I certainly didn’t turn this guy into a rational thinker, but it’s my hope I at least stirred something in this guy to start paying more attention to who he follows. He wasn’t dumb, and he was the type of person needed to flip future elections. The second was in a large medical facility standing inline for coffee. Out of 10 people, for some reason this older asshat with an America t shirt on came up to me and started babbling about Venezuela and how great it is, and how only the libtards are the ones against it. Why he came up to just me out of the blue, I’ll never know, but I could tell he was a lost cause. So instead of being polite, I simply turned my back to him and ignored him. It felt great. My two little acts of rebellion against stupidity this week.
  9. If you and RGB are truly seeing a serious behavior issue, you need to figure out how to bring that to the attention of Sark, and if Sark isn’t seeing the issue, CDC.
  10. That’s impossible. The yearning in my heart for the two Michigan lineman that I’d never heard of until five days ago leaves a void that can never be filled.
  11. Oregon’s 78% 4 and 5 star roster is getting whipped by Indiana’s 8% roster. One can only conclude that we need to force all 4 and 5 star players to portal and replace them with 2 star players who are 30 with a wife, mortgage and two kids.
  12. When we are all done with the portal I need one of the nine posters who actually know things (you know who you are) to tell me how to feel about all of those signings. I will then dutifully spread that opinion far and wide, as if it’s my own opinion.
  13. I’ve watched Indiana several games this year. The best description for them is precise. Whether it’s their defensive coverage in the secondary, their offensive plays, etc. they always look like every player knows what he’s supposed to do, and they do it. Not many false starts, holding, etc. Unlike another certain team I know that constantly has self inflicted wounds.
