  1. Perroni --  I'm not ready to put a CB for anywhere on 2020 QB Malik Hornsby

    But, from talking to a few people, he is very high on Texas. The Longhorns offered yesterday. Even when I had talked to him last week after the A&M offer, he told me he talked to Coach Beck there a lot.

    I don't think he's going to make a decision too soon and, as you've seen with this staff, early leanings don't always matter. But, I just wanted to pass along what I've gotten from a few folks.

    Genson Hooper-Price seems like Tommy Bush 2.0. I'd like him better if I felt better about our WR room. He's a high beta prospect.  

    Agree on the comparison in terms of basement floor and incredibly high ceiling. Incredibly raw. Freakish athleticism. But GHP doesn't fight the ball nearly as much, and more importantly I don't worry that he'd poison the locker room with a shitty ass attitude. Far less risk to me, but i 100% get what your saying and agree. If our WR room was in better shape GHP is a guy I'd love for them to take a flyer on as a development prospect. 

    Forgot about Peyton Powell. 

    Kennedy Lewis is going to be a problem at TCU or OkSt (likely landing spots, imho). I certainly wouldn't mind Texas circling back on him if the OOS targets fizzle.

    Order of preference between Washington, Snow, and Thompson?

    Don't forget McGlothern, it sounds like Naivar and Washington are liking him at S over CB. At this point, I'd take any and all of those 4 and worry about numbers and spots after the fact. I love Thompson. A lot. I think we'll see Texas look at Dixon as a CB for that class which can also give them some flexibility with McGlothern as a CB or S, etc ...

    What does a realistic WR class look like now??  This is a question for the "WRs in Texas are a dime a dozen" crew.

    all the names will consist of OOS guys or guys we've talked a lot about. I know he's highly rated but I feel like Demariyon Houston gets no run/respect relative to a lot of the other targets we have. Jalen Curry seems to have faded in terms of talk, but that guy can play and has a good frame, I feel like he's the odd man out in the Texas WR class this year but I'd much rather have him than Arjei Henderson, for instance. 

    If you're looking for a name to follow as a late offer or perhaps a rising SR type guy, I think Kennedy Lewis is probably a guy that deserves more attention than he's gotten. Genson Hooper-Price as well. Nnamdi Adim-Madumere has gotten more attention because of his projectable size but really could end up a tweener, and I think looked better as a defensive prospect/project.

    His hudl page didn't have any highlights do you have a link to some film?

    He used to have some King footage out there... (Watched it back when he and Snow were first breaking out)  some of it is used here in his twitter bio video ...  let me see if I can find that one and you can check a few of these highlights

    Home plate umpire is inconsistent as fuck.  

     

    Trolling asshole TCU fans is so fucking fun. The sweaty fuck a few seats over is going to burst a blood vessel. 

    3-0 Texas when I said this. this fucker is terrible. Just dreadful

    Not sure what the home plate ump is doing now. Small zone all of a sudden. 

    He’s been shit all night. Late as fuck to get in his slot so he misses anything low or moving to the hitter

    They have been. He visited them during the same trip he visited us this last time.  I think @golfclap or someone has said Warren's an OU homer and has ties to OU, so I wouldn't worry about it.  

    Yep. Fuck that guy. 

    For instance ....

  9. I've seen a lot of people (ok mostly Aggy) talking about Aggy finally breaking the cycle with LSU this year, and I know it's because Orgeron is Orgeron and I do understand. At the same time, it was 45-21 last year and that was with LSU taking a knee with 1st and goal at the 5, and 2 missed FGs (one from 26 fucking yards). LSU ran at will on Aggy (2 RBs over 100) and passed for ~350 yards, as well. Complete ass kicking. 2nd year in a row with over 600 yards of offense vs. Aggy. Maybe slowing the game down JimboStyle will give the Ags a puncher's chance?

    A&M's football revenues middle of the road in the SEC  (A&M ranked eighth in the SEC in football revenues 

     

    The end of the Kevin Sumlin era at Texas A&M didn’t just result in declining wins on the football and unrealized expectations. It also meant that fans and others tuned out the Aggies to the extent that it hit the athletic department where it really hurts…the pocketbook.

    The U.S. Department of Education recently posted figures on football revenue for the nation’s athletic departments for the 2016-2017 fiscal year (July 2016 to June 2017). Although Texas A&M is considered to be one of the richest athletic departments in the country (and it is), the stagnation of the football program under Sumlin resulted in declining revenues and the Aggies didn’t compare so well to their SEC brethren.

    A&M ranked eighth in the SEC in football revenues in 2016-17 at $70.4 million which was a 4% decrease from 2015-16. While it’s a measure of the financial strength of the SEC that their revenues would have placed the Aggies in the top five schools in the Big Ten, it’s still a reminder of just how tough the SEC is in all aspects of competition (both on and off the field) thanks to its lucrative sources of revenue such as its television contracts, the SEC Network (an example of how to do a network right unlike the Pac 12), and bowl tie ins (which put the conference front and center on New Year’s Day).

    In fact, the Aggies ranked behind Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, and Alabama in the SEC West in revenues despite having a renovated Kyle Field as perhaps the country’s best on campus revenue generator. While it should come as no surprise that Alabama topped the $100 million mark in revenues, the fact that the Aggies trailed even Arkansas ($71.2 million) is something of a surprise.

    It’s not like A&M didn’t spend anything on the sport either. Although the Tide spent over $62 million on football and that makes A&M’s $31 million appear lacking…A&M’s total is the third highest figure in the SEC West. 


    But here’s something else to think about: football is the cash cow which sustains an athletic department. Auburn, LSU, and Alabama all topped $100 million in total revenues for their men’s teams while the Aggies lagged behind at $84 million. The disparity in athletic department revenues can be traced almost entirely to the disparity in football revenues.

    Given the fact that Sumlin was considered a dead man walking even before A&M athletic director Scott Woodward indicated in May 2017 that Sumlin had to do better or else, the lack of excitement towards football had a negative impact not just on that sport’s revenues but those of the department as a whole. With Jimbo Fisher at the helm and more excitement than what we’ve seen in recent years, the Aggies’ revenues should start to climb once again.
