  1. One of my friends works at Goldman Special Situations and he ran a deal where they supplied capital for a group to buy out a series of Ferrari/Lamborghini dealerships across the Southern and Western United States. I remember him saying that one of the ones in Texas was run by the previous owner’s son and just hemorrhaged money because the kid basically used it to finance a rich boy lifestyle (gave cheap leases to friends, had his girlfriend on the payroll etc.). Might not be the same guy here, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was a similar situation.
  2. Don’t get me wrong - I love that about him because he gets everyone hyped up
  3. Who ends up on the field w/ Addison in the mix? Bijan is no brainer for RB but you potentially have: WR: Worthy, Neyor, Whittington, Addison TE: Billingsley, Sanders, Helm RB: B. Robinson, Johnson, K. Robinson What would your preferred personnel grouping be and who would sit?
  4. Damn Elon hit Addison w/ that Tesla/SpaceX/Twitter/Boring Company/Neuralink money huh. Can’t wait for the ad where he is virtually driving his Tesla through a tunnel on the way to a rocket and tweeting about it.
  5. This would make total sense given their WRs looked like ass in their spring game. Would also be a total Saban move to tamper Addison, blame it on LR (because everyone hates him), then act like they stumbled on Addison during his process.
  6. I mean… if we match or beat the USC offer, he gets to play in a Sarkisian offense with Quinn Ewers throwing to him, Xavier Worthy on the other side, Bijan Robinson in the backfield. I’m not sure we’re really lacking for anything vs. USC here except maybe California women/weed/weather.
  7. There is an NIL thread. Please move your moral posturing or the opposite thereof over there and fuck right off. I’d like to check this thread for transfer updates, not NCAA bylaws.
  8. For future reference - the staff/Belmont has this ready for every player as part of the “Leverage” program. You should reach out to them instead.
  9. I feel like the probability of a Union is mixed. On one hand, superstar players and highly-rated guys buried in the depth chart likely have their earnings capped if they unionize. On the other hand, the 60-80 guys on the roster who don’t meet that bar probably get a lot more value by having the ability to collectively pressure schools, sponsors etc.
  10. Or Barron got paid an awful lot of money to stay and now he’s like “wtf”
  11. I don’t understand the whole “UT isn’t prepared” thing. If we the school/BMDs really weren’t prepared, I don’t think we would have corralled millions of dollars for Ewers to come back. I think, to CTJ’s and Barbocoa’s earlier points, there is some strange selectiveness to when the admin/staff are allowing the NIL machine to ramp up. I don’t know if that’s incompetence in seeing the bigger picture (I.e. that NIL needs to be big for defensive players too) or if that’s us as fans not being able to see another side of this (that the staff has some plans for where they want money deployed and don’t want it squandered upfront).
  12. Wouldn’t be the first time Gerry has hedged without actually knowing for sure
  13. Did we start dropping bags? Because the only other reason these guys would be seriously interested in us is probably Arch
  14. I feel like there is a conceivable scenario where we lose Keilan.
  15. Is there anyone specific you’re worried about/hearing rumors about? Or is this more of a “we are a bad team and statistically there is a high likelihood Alabama/Georgia/Ohio State etc. makes a push to poach our best guys” kinda deal?
