  1. Hard to believe this staff “passed” on Keyonte. And by that I mean it is hard to believe.
  2. Feel feel feel, feel my heat
  3. Oh dear. That will amuse me more than it should. Bets on which 9.95 is first? My money would have been on the guy that left for the notre dame gig (I think) with the dorky wedding picture. Can’t believe I forgot his name. With the current lot, no front runners come to mind
  4. There is that “competitive “ word again. I hope it means what I think it means
  5. Well then can you clear it up for me? The $ sign is pretty unmistakable. It has been established here by those that would know that we are doing what it takes to compete with SEC teams to bring in players that are looking for such incentives. Specifically NIL or not there can be no way we lose a recruit to SMU for $ whatever form it takes. just ridiculous
  6. Come on now. I refuse to believe that SMU is out NILing us, if you are insinuating that with the $ sign. If that is actually the case then just we just can forget about ever being competitive again.
  7. Umlang is truly an artist.
  8. -Oregon visits Palo Alto this weekend. Stanford blows, but Mario Cristobal is west coast Tom Herman. He'll fuck up a game this year somewhere, so I wouldn't be shocked if it's this one. Good call
  9. That second one tastes good
  10. I noticed in the Arkansas game, that everyone’s favorite safety Sloneal, had key roles in helping pig score on both touchdowns. Was hoping, because admittedly I an unable, someone can post the gifs or otherwise add to his already illustrious highlight reel.
  11. This is a Kyle Umlang tweet. Wow.
  12. I too live in a world where the Manning family wants their offspring to go to Texas so badly they will drop bags to near strangers to make it happen
  13. Thanks for the response. I interpret it (for the most part) that it takes time to implement what needs to be done and hopefully the above things get fixed for the next cycle and beyond. I agree with you on the bag game not going away with NIL. NIL will pay kids once on campus. Lots of top tier kids may not be patient enough to wait and will want the bag dropped with each camp visit, unofficial visit, official visit, commit and signature. I guess if our NIL game is so good it cause kids to wait then great, but as you said we have already fucked it up I am not holding my breath.
  14. Assuming you are in the know, do you know why we are not playing the game like Georgia (and I assume aggy)? With NIL we should now or soon be in the top payers tier. Or is it a distinction between NIL paying once on campus vs the bag game prior to campus (ie cash in hand to commit/sign). Do you know if Texas will only pay via NIL route and that is what is hurting our current efforts? I recall a CTJ post a while back that listed out tiers of playing the game and if I recall correctly those 2 schools were in the top group of anything goes. We were in the 2nd tier with bama. Ou in 3rd tier etc. also I have to believe we are playing some games in this cycle with recent commits from deep in SEC country of Louisiana and Alabama and Mississippi (?). What’s most disappointing is the loss of targeted top Texas recruits that are still turning us down even with incentives of NIL or otherwise. I keep hoping it is only because it takes a cycle to get a good bag game to take effect. I’ll hang up and listen.
  15. I thought I had been told on here that the bag game would not apply to Manning, given the family dynamics. l guess it just an additional factor now with NIL. And to clarify are you making a distinction between bag game and NIL or grouping as one in the same?
  16. Ha. Probably not. Just think aggy has enough talent to over come the qb online concerns. Maybe in typical aggy fashion they find a way to fuck it up. Go auburn, LSU, one of the Mississippi schools. Other than those (already including a bama loss) don’t see a L.
  17. True. I hope they lose every game. Problem is even with the qb and ol concerns the defense and running game with that schedule calls for a floor of 8 or 9 wins.
  18. To be devil’s advocate aggy looked like shit in the opener last year and finished just outside the playoffs. I know, I know their schedule was shit last year……. Just like this year.
  19. Said KU to BIG by this Friday. KU fan on post 1122 on this thread asked about his credibility. Apparently he was the first to know/start the excitement for KU fans.
  20. Maybe cujo from OB is legit on this one. Good call if true.
  21. I look forward to IT telling us it’s Texas for Bryce
