  1. I used to think that kind of thing mattered, but college football is littered with sociopath head coaches that will trapdoor a kid and have the personal skills to massage around it with his peers. Also, kids aren’t stupid, they see what we see and know the rules. If you perform you get paid, if you don’t oh well. Not to get too Marlo Stanfield on you, but you seem to want it one way and college football in 2025 is going to do it the other way.
  2. I’ll add something else about Baxter that @DZX158 appears to overlook-most of these lower profile athletes with NIL deals aren’t offering anything of value to Sonic or Warby Parker or whoever. In those instances, those NIL dollars come from someone who is writing a check, and usually it’s because they are a fan/alumni of the university and they have the same performance expectations we do. When you’ve got someone like Baxter that’s already been paid a ton and delivered almost nothing you’re not going to get someone that wants to write that check, regardless of cajoling from Banks and Sark. This is, btw, a somewhat reasonable way to handle the exit interview with a player and mirrors the same kind of layoff potential all the rest of that work for a living have to hazard.
  3. You do understand there’s a finite amount of money and every dollar devoted to Baxter comes at the expense of someone for whom the coaches have more confidence helps in 2026, right? It’s unfortunate that being a great student of the game or good role model as a student athlete doesn’t also result in more than 3 yards a carry. I’m not aware of what his NIL looked liked in 2025, but I was in 2024 and he’s the most overpaid on the team relative to production. In every professional sport in America that would make him a cap casualty, buy-out candidate or DFA.
  4. They are 21-1, pretty much any move is a downgrade.
  5. No way, unfortunately the prestige of the job is such that it takes a person of rare character to retire before dying in office. Does that sound like Alito to you?
  6. What’s particularly galling is the ignorance of where Voltaire’s sympathies lay.
  7. I was ready to call a Sengun/Giannis trade nuts but I just looked up his stats and Giannis is really, really well rounded. I’s probably favor standing pat because of health concerns (particularly due to age and mileage), but a healthy Giannis on this team is undoubtedly a stronger squad.
  8. If that had any merit our 2025 o-line would be rockstars. We ran out a very good DLine this year and every bit comparable or better than Georgia.
  9. I love a good explainer but I don't have the attention span to sit still for 54 minutes looking at someone with a cold sore. Cliff notes?
  10. What makes you think Vasek’s future portaling is up to him?
  11. Speaking of that, there‘s a fun NY Times Op Ed today from someone positing that the Supremes are actually trying to rescue democracy because the Legislative Branch has ceded so much of its authority to the Executive. They truly are the bulwark against continued despotism! Actually, the Supreme Court Has a Plan
  12. I’m not following your point and was referencing that offer in my post. You think another team is giving him the Jabari contract as a restricted free agent? I think the most likely scenario is a sign and trade after the season and that’s mostly if it’s mutually beneficial, and not because Tari has some kind of incredible leverage.
  13. Tari Eason is going to into restricted free agency and there's no immediate need to trade him. I'm a little skeptical that another team is going to be offering that much more than the reported Rockets offer for someone who's missed a whole season's worth of games in his first four seasons of play.
  14. Mocking west Austin partisans is 2nd only to Aggie jokes as a source of mirth. Interesting that, if you're correct about the numbers, the are predominately on the offense.
  15. Re: Henry, Jr., it's a win simply if we made OSU dig deeper into their pockets for him.
