You must be Ketch’s new sock. That or you’re just a mouth breathing dumbass voluntarily spamming the board with his articles that no one’s asking for.
The sausage finger typos look like a Ketch giveaway though.
You got me. I didn’t know you spoke for the people that commented and genuinely responded to the information. Now that I do, I will stop to preserve the integrity of this board.

If anyone gives a shit, Jabba:
I communicated with a source on Thursday about the recruitment of TCU defensive tackle transfer Damonic Williams and here's what I learned.
* The central figure in the recruitment is the agent/representative for Williams, who is doing what most agents/representatives do in trying to secure the most lucrative deal possible for their clients. There are questions about where exactly that is going to take the recruitment.
* The sense that I have is that Texas believes that it has the best NIL situation of any of the finalists in the Williams recruitment, but it's unclear whether the Texas offer is being used as leverage to try and get the NIL packages at other schools (specifically OU) increased and, if so, where that leaves the Longhorns.
* For the first time, the source I communicated with on Thursday mentioned that the Longhorns were in the pole position (the player is very keen on the Longhorns) in the recruitment at one point in the middle of this week, but there's a sense that things may have turned when it was communicated to the agent that the Longhorns would not bend in putting together an NIL offer that the agent believes should exist for Williams, especially when it is already believed that none of the competing schools are matching what is already on the table in terms of lucrative NIL opportunities. .
I'm told that the agent believes a seven-figure market exists and is determined to find it/tap into it.
* The word going around on Thursday afternoon is that OU is probably the current leader, but there's a real sense of confusion about how all of this is playing out, partly because it is believed that OU has come under the Longhorns in terms of NIL opportunities (OU's is believed to be in the half-million range), unless that offer was enhanced on Thursday when meetings apparently took place between the agent and the Sooners.

Thursday morning update from Jabba:
Pessimism is the word of the hour in UT's recruitment of TCU defensive tackle transfer Damonic Williams.
Per a source late last night, there were conversations between Texas and Williams on Wednesday night. From what I can gather, Williams is looking for an incredible one-year NIL package that would make Walter Nolan blush.
Will he get it?
That remains to be seen, but it almost certainly won't come from the Longhorns. I've been told for more than a year that the Longhorns would be willing to go huge on a "Jordan Addison type" player if the coaches thought that the addition would be season-changing, but Williams is not viewed as that type of player and Texas isn't going to completely turn its entire NIL model on its head in an effort to get him.
Perhaps the NIL package being sought after will flatten out because none of the four teams under consideration will go as high as the Williams camp is looking for one of them to go, but at the moment it feels like the Longhorns aren't going to be the team.
I wasn't given the name of a projected leader, but it might be OU. The dark-horse might be Missouri, if only because maybe the Tigers will be willing to do anything to get Williams.
Regardless, it feels like an Texas and Williams are at an impasse as of Wednesday night. -
Don’t worry we have lots of dry powder.

as a female who 1) drank a good amount in college, and 2) had plenty of sex in college, often after/while drinking, allow me to say that i do not look back on any of those instances and think 'i think i was sexually assaulted'. mostly, i look back on those days the same as y'all - fondly and with a healthy amount of cringe.
the only time i felt disturbed in any way was a frat party (can't remember which, but one of the smaller ones), where i ended up separated from my friend, in an upstairs room and suddenly decided i did not want to be there anymore, and the 'gentleman' who had escorted me upstairs thought it would be a good time to play a game of 'block the door/keep her from leaving'.
so whichever of you assholes that was, sorry-not sorry for kicking you in the balls and running.

The optics of this seem..... not good. Rather than give Foster and Bobby Taylor the dignity of an exit interview with coaches and the option of first entering the transfer portal, the coaching staff "cut" these dudes. It's not a good look. VERY weird strategy here.

That one still wouldn't surprise me. I expect between 4-6 announcements within the next 24 hours and likely sooner.
How many of those can we blame on Brandon Harris?

I don't think Elko's strategy is that complicated. He's throwing as many bodies as humanly possible at the problem and seeing who sticks. Run off the absolute worst ones and then throw even more bodies at it. I get that's it's mostly bread in / bread out, but what are his other options?
I think you are supposed to be in the Ukraine war thread

Fun story about me and semicolons. When I was in high school writing essays, I'd get these comments from teachers like "great point say more." I was confused because I thought usually my point was self-evident and did not require elaboration.
Later on bearing this in mind, I apparently started crafting dense, complex sentences to pack in more of the requested information.
Finally, in my last year of law school in an advanced writing class, Terri LeClercq, truly one of the Texas Law greats, pointed out my complex sentences and suggested that I retreat to very simple sentences and then perhaps combine them with semi colons to increase readability and comprehension and avoid the see spot run problem. Still use to this day.
This is mostly a tribute to Dr. LeClercq.
Kept expecting to see a semicolon in your post; am upset I did not.

Someone is gruntled that his shot at an inheritance is disappearing.
Also, in the history of American jurisprudence, there has never been a half a billion dollar judgment….
I’m sure the neck beards are nodding in agreement.
I am disgruntled at your use of gruntled.

Seems like the guy had a mental disorder of some sort. Also, I really have no idea what 'k' word he used.

There is a lawyer I know in Houston who pulled this trying to kill his unborn child. He got caught by his wife and the child was okay. He is in jail and is in process of losing his license. He’s lucky the child didn’t die.
Just googled. 180 days for that is bullshit.
