    Don't even get your hopes up. It is USC. They almost had him in the Winter portal but he wanted to see how that new defensive staff would come together first. Apparently he liked what he was hearing from people he knows on that roster. Unless something really crazy happens I doubt he even takes other visits. Maybe he will use it as an excuse to get some free travel in but USC came in way over market value to make sure this one doesn't turn into a bidding war with others.

    Obviously something could change but I've been expecting this one for weeks. This info per one of the bigger contributors to USC's NIL efforts.

    All informational media distributed by a for profit entity, through a for profit entity, is going to require revenue to support it's existence. You know, ads. "I don't like podcasts" would have been a fine summation. No one is taking roll. 

    Also, Bobby Burton is a good guy and Longhorn, and Gerry Hamilton is one of the best individual contributors to recruiting coverage in the country, and hands down the best we've ever had. If I have to sit through some ads that directly support those two, so be it. OTF becoming a legitimate source of content is good for everyone and I do not understand the reflex to bitch about their efforts to promote a sustainable business. 


    Yes I get all of that. But when a 20 minute podcast is half commercial, it’s still impossible to listen to. 

    Everyone consumes this content differently. For me the bulk of the time I’m listening in the car or when I’m running or on the peleton. Those are not easy for me to fast forward through commercials. I’m also a large consumer of podcasts and OTF is by far the most loaded with commercials of any other content I consume. If the model requires 50% of the content to be commercials, it’s time to rethink the model.

  3. Listening to the OTF podcast in the car, it starts out with back to back commercials. Bobby kicks it off with a word from his sponsor before getting into Texas football talk for two minutes. Then it breaks into another commercial. That’s it for me and that podcast.

  4. I really enjoy Gerry and Bobby but holy fuck man. Their last few podcasts have gone full NASCAR with the ads. One 30 minute podcast has 10 commercials now. And the YouTube video has ads plastered all over it. It’s really affecting the quality now. Just too much.

    This applies whether it’s straight or gay.


    Former NHL center Jason Arnott is a great example of this. The man could not stop trying to hook up with other players girlfriends/wives. New Jersey traded him to Dallas who then gave up on him because of all of the trouble he caused.

    In my college days I was in an all-male touring ensemble.  128 guys + staff.  Probably 30 guys were openly gay.  Nobody cared, and it certainly didn't affect the locker room.


    That’s good for you. But at Arkansas it apparently did affect the locker room.

    Who cares who the guy wants to fuck?  Play well, hopefully get your degree, good luck.


    No one cares as long as it doesn’t affect the locker room.

  8. I didn’t want to post this in the young man’s commitment thread but the first thing an Arkansas booster told me is he was rumored to be involved in a love triangle with another player. Obviously his personal preferences are of no concern but hopefully he wasn’t part of something that damaged the locker room at his prior team.

    Huh? What did I say..

    The first post you quoted was in response to multiple people telling me I was wrong for saying the second thing you quoted without saying why...some really have no idea, they were just going along with CTJ.

    Congrats on being late to the party and digging up something that long since passed.


    I’m negging you because you have become an insufferable cunt on this subject.
