    I am a member.  About to cancel.  Really should have a decade or more ago, but just too lazy because it's a PITA.  

    FYI I just changed the expiration date on my card and I’ve had free access for over a year. I didn’t realize how much damage they were doing when I cancelled, I had just been banned for the 20th time for not being able to control my language when I responded to Ketchum’s retarded musings.

    I knew the minute I heard about the visit that fucking Ketchum and his band of speds were going to eventually get wind and then immediately put it out there, with no consideration for whether or not that’s productive. They didn’t get this from anyone related to the effort on the UT end or Ewers end. They usually weasel this kind of thing from another recruit who is on a text string or something. Just fucking trash. 

    Don’t think it matters? Well, now everyone knows an exact timeline. So if you wanted to intervene with a final pitch or offer addition, you’d know when to do it. It also dissolved trust between the two parties if the recruit doesn’t fess up. The Ewers end will think Texas is talking and vice versa when neither wants the courting process covered this time. In the last two days, Ketchum and his cronies have established a baseline for the offer to beat, when the big pitch is being made, and when the final decision is coming. 

    I don’t know if it’s really considered good news, but the staff (and so I assume Ewers as well) knew there was a good chance it would leak once they started telling recruits Ewers will be there this weekend. I was told straight up- hopefully orange bloods and 247 don’t find out until we are closer to the weekend. It’s really unbelievable at this point, and I think there’s a good case to broach the idea of pulling orange bloods credentials. So many people I talk to use orange bloods and have no idea the trouble they cause. It would be nice to even just see their hand get slapped which would “start the conversation” like Ketchum says.

    My nephew will get brought up on a recruiting board here in the coming years. He is being recruited by everyone in the country from the bottom (aggie) to top ivy league schools. He is being thorough and is visiting the shit out of every school that will have him. It is an experience he wants to enjoy. Yall don't get it and I don't get it but it is par for the course. I send his mom every NIL deal Texas has, but he still wants to play the game. Chill.

    The chicks alone would have me playing the game when I was that age.

    Do we know how the "paying up" works at this point? Do we make concrete offers, or is it more like "we have sponsorships lined up and you'll have [a minimum amount of cash] in your pocket?

    I don't specifically know what it means. Now I'm curious too.

    If there was ever a time to tell your guys to put their money where the mouth is this would be it. 

    This is a big ticket item. The DE guys can way overpay if they want and that might work, but it isnt a secret how badly QE is needed here. My guess is the bat phones are lit up like christmas trees in the big $$$ guys pockets.

    To the tune of 1 million a year, BS. You said it yourself you were struggling to get Stewart a one time 200k, no?

    I’ve never participated in anything Stewart related. And yea, I’d be surprised to hear that Mahomes threw in a million bucks. But it’s certainly possible for him to do so if he wants to, and we will see former athletes get involved on the $$$ side more and more.
