    Growing up a Cowboys fan I always rooted for the Oilers as well.  Especially when they drafted Earl.  The day that pos Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson and hired that pos emeritus Switzer I completely stopped watching or caring about the NFL. 

    This is why you don't understand. Anyone who grew up an Oilers fan, especially in the luv ya blue days, knows the Cowboys are/were a bunch of gaywads with their fancy formations and pre-snap / up down jerk-off Tom Landry discipline bullshit. Didn't he play the coach in "One on One" with Robbie Benson? Carl Mauck 4ever.

    Yes, but most of us knew that. The inflated market prices would also cause locker room issues. Sark's worked hard to get our team to be a team.  Imagine an Ojo coming in to sit the bench with his fool agent spouting a guaranteed $5.1M deal? It doesn't matter the real numbers, that shit may work at TT, not here. 

    The other is that our AD will not make promises they 100% can't back up.  The evolving - who knows, legal guardrails for revenue, NIL, etc. We refuse to play in the grey. 

    So far we've taken care most positions we need for developing depth. Would still like a top OL, LB as priorities.  A top RB, CB next.  Other than that, opinions on what else we need?

    We'll get our guys. It may not be top 5 but close. There's no reason to make big promises to high school players right now when we don't know who will (or won't) need a pay bump on the roster this season, or what holes might emerge in the lineup. As the season plays out we'll get a grip on the payroll and start making offers that agents/recruits know are real.

    Sooo let me get this straight—

     

    We missed out on guys like Lee, Krempin, Roseborough, etc., because  Ojo and Turntine were the ones we keyed on. . . .and now y’all are already trashing Ojo because he’s doing what literally every other recruit is doing and trending away from Texas the day before his commitment?? 😂

     

    What, y’all gonna turn on Turntine too if he flips?

     

    Y’all are hilarious. Just admit we’re losing momentum with legit prospects and hope we can circle back later. SMH.

    Ojo was a turnstile at a high profile event not long ago. That's concerning. Add that he's an "athlete who needs to get good at football," and you have to wonder, so people are wondering. Fair game.

    Not in the picture I saw posted earlier. She’s meh. 

     

    Then give me Jessica Biel. I could walk into the Target in Lakeway on a random Tuesday afternoon and find six women hotter than Heather Graham. Heather Graham looks like the picture on the warning label on the Accutane medication package telling you what your kid might look like if you take Accutane while pregnant. I’ll pass.  

    This was in the 90's. Her body was all-time. And Jessica Biel most amazing trait was her skin (not to Buffalo Bill this shit), really mind-blowing, like a porcelain doll.

    I’m sympathetic to everyone who’s upset about the recent recruiting losses. Does suck to get repeatedly kicked in the nuts. But at least wait until August before you get worked up about this shit.

    and yeah, it’s kind of annoying that OTF got us excited about these recruitments that we would have otherwise assumed we’re going somewhere else. But those guys also never promised us that we were going to win them. They just said that we were in them, or that we had a good shot. that could’ve very well been true at the time they said it. I don’t pay anyone $9.95 but if I did, that’s the kind of information I would expect them to pass along.

     

    Most of us realized last year that summer-whiffing was nothing to worry about, because the same thing happened the year before, when we had a great class. Same goes for this year, but with even less to worry about, since we went number fucking one. But there also seemed to be an extra amount of "hi's" and winks and hints this year, when hardly any of them have panned out. So they deserve a little shit for stirring it up (for clicks and subs) when history suggests dialing it back.

    We can outbid nearly anyone. BUT we have a salary structure. It's why you see roster retention here. The Fausi recruitment is a great example. OU paid a lot. We weren't willing to blow up our roster dynamics for him, rightfully so. 

    I'm talking about firm offers / installments while recruiting, before enrollment. Or is it illegal to make payments before enrollment? I forget.

    Fucking same; during my freshman year, my schedule overlapped with Ricky's in a way that I'd pass him walking to class at least twice a week. His thighs were as big around as my waist, and his neck was close. He wasn't ALL that much taller than I was, but I swear he looked like the players we'd design in those early versions of Madden, with 99 speed and 99 BRK or whatever it was. 

    3x same. Saw him at a breakfast joint and I couldn't understand, applying basic physics, how he could run so fast and be so quick, shaped like a whiskey barrel.

    So is Tre Wisner.

    But as a Texas fan we should know what a high level running back looks like. We've had a ton of them. Neither Tre Wisner nor Hodges Mitchell are one of them. 

    The book on Wisner isn’t written yet. He showed some next-level slippery toughness last year.
