The bottom of this draft has been....perplexing....to say the least.

Not sure I understand that one. Trading up for a guy who probably would have been available later and for a spot that isn't a huge need? Probably means he'll be a HOF but yeah...

Well, that sucks. Chiefs take Simmons with last pick of round 1.

Trade with the Giants. Thankfully.

If I buy the out of market MLB.tv thing, can I still stream the Mets broadcast?
No because it is being broadcast in the local market. Doesn't matter what team stream, just is it being covered by a local station of some sort. However, nothing stops you from using a VPN (apart from MLB.TV blocking some common VPN addresses).

Both of those guys were analysts last year who are now in on the field roles. I'm not sure co-passing game coordinator is that big of a promotion since he is still assistant qb coach and in a system where everyone knows its just implementing Sark's offense. More like just a title to justify the bump to on field.

A lot of this has already been talked about in this thread but if those are the narrowed names: Luper is older but was at TCU for awhile (2013-2019) and had at least a larger title (co-offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator). He's also got some recruiting skins on the wall at Auburn and Ok State (per his Mizzou bio). McKenzie continues to hit the Georgia recruiting area base. Barthel is a bit different with the Big Ten footprint but has the NFL coaching experience. Also seems to be a do more with less developer at the stops he's been at? Maybe?

Who the fuck said he was lazy? Being loyal to his guys and not wanting to recruit the portal=/=lazy. Different coaches have different viewpoints
This genius did about 2 hours ago.
2 hours ago, cmontexas said:Its no disrespect to Choice to suggest that good coaches sometimes have differences in philosophy and move around. Choice didnt want to recruit college running backs. Maybe he didn't want to fuck over his fellow rb coaches who knows. Its not a knock on his character.
Maybe we get a rb coach who's more aggressive with the transfer portal. Maybe Choice is more suited to coaching grown men under contract in the NFL and positioning himself for a bigger role. Both can be true. Maybe I'm completely wrong. Either way Im just some dumbass who watches too much Texas football
Oh, wait. You're right. You didn't say he was lazy. You just said he "didn't want to" and that his "nah, I'm good" answer irritated you and hoped the next guy would while suggesting that he was being pushed out the door because he wasn't recruiting which is the majority of most running back coaches' jobs. That definitely doesn't imply you thought he was lazy.
And yall, I 100% get Velton Gardner was a warm body after injuries and not the savior of the room. It's just even within the last cycle it showed Choice pivoting that when they needed depth because the room got decimated by injuries, he went out and did the work. But seriously, in the years before that, who would you recruit out of the transfer portal to compete with Bijan and Roschon? There's only the tiniest sliver of an argument for adding another last year with Baxter, Brooks, and Keilan Robinson. This year, fine, make the argument but it was still a room with some experience and talented freshman coming in. It wasn't barren until injuries hit.

Hey, the fun thing is, we'll get to see if we start pursuing transfer rbs in the future and if that's just a lucky coincidence
You're right. Tashard Choice is a lazy recruiter. You have to go all the way back to....2024....to see the last time he recruited a transfer running back. His laziness in recruiting is only outpaced by his inability to get our running backs into the draft. I hope our next RB coach remembers that not only is it recruiting top 10 in the nation running backs out of high school, you have to immediately try to find their replacements in the transfer portal instead of riding them into first round picks.

Lodging a pre-emptive:

Yeah, I'm sure it's been discussed before but I wonder/worry that the shorter portal window will lead to more fuckery about holding on to coordinators until the window is closed knowing full well they'll be fired once time has elapsed. When the portal was open longer, the school would have to sit on the lame duck coordinator for longer but now it seems pretty reasonable to "take 2 weeks" to decide about the future of a coach. In the interim, it locks in any player who would have left if their coach left and gives the new coordinator until April to try to keep them in the boat.

Maybe this shakes loose a few people. Reuben Bain had a down year after his freshman year but I think was injured? I'm not sure who else on the line has the size and eligibility as I think several of their defensive tackles are 4th or 5th year players.

I also love the fact that anyone with "tons of insider knowledge of the sip locker room" that paints it negatively is a glorious insider bringing truth to the masses whereas someone with "tons of insider knowledge of the sip locker room" that says good things is clearly a sip spy and troll.

That's because that is a picture of Byron Murphy.

Interestingly, you almost never hear of a pro soccer player who "didnt pick up the game" of soccer until he was 15-16. That athletic trait does seem to flow that way very often. Maybe because the eye to foot trait has to be learned from an early age?
And before you get all get pissed for "derailing" the thread, I'm doing my part to get us to a 1000.I think it's likely much more that soccer is often one of the first sports that kids do because when they are really young it's "here's a ball, and a field, go run around" and is the intro to team sports. Same with tee-ball but that requires more equipment. Football takes a lot more equipment, kids get started later for safety reasons, it's not played everywhere, etc. So most kids start in soccer and then transition out. Or if they are tall they get told to play basketball and then may transition out. You'll get the occasional didn't play basketball but then all of a sudden end up tall and so be "late to basketball" in that sense.

Points/$ change depending on what type of donation it is. 5/$100 is at the top and on par with a lot of the other giving though (Longhorn Excellence as an example) while things like seat related donations for season tickets are 2/$100.
I don't think this link requires a login but it's got a breakdown: https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/2021/2/22/loyalty-points?xd_co_f=M2EzZjJhMzItYTNhZS00ZDE2LTgzZDUtZjk3YTcwZTQxM2Vh

It’s an awesome day on the Forty Acres with the Longhorn Foundation announcing that all Texas One Fund contributions will now be awarded Loyalty Points!

Before we lay out the details of our expanded Loyalty Points program, I want to thank you for your dedication to our mission at Texas to provide an unparalleled, comprehensive collegiate experience for over 550 student-athletes across 21 sport programs. In the modern landscape of college athletics, empowering student-athletes with the knowledge and opportunity to advance their personal and professional brands through NIL has become a fundamental piece of that experience.

Loyalty Points
The Loyalty Points system is a longstanding, points-based program that rewards Longhorn Foundation donors for their commitment to supporting our student-athletes and sport programs. Loyalty Points are earned at different rates by giving type and account for the longevity of being a season ticket holder as well as philanthropic donations. Ultimately, Loyalty Points are used to build a priority ranking of all donors—the more Loyalty Points you have, the higher your rank—that determines various processes, including how we slate season ticket and parking selection appointment times, seat selection appointment times for the Allstate Red River Rivalry, ticket allocation for away and postseason play and more.
Texas One Fund
The Texas One Fund is the official NIL collective of Texas Athletics and supports student-athlete opportunities to use their name, image and likeness to promote charitable causes. Texas One Fund connects student-athletes from both men’s and women’s sports, fans, sponsors and charitable organizations to enhance personal and professional development while giving nonprofits amplified support and visibility.
Together, we’re taking the pride and winning tradition of our great university and athletics department to great heights. It’s because of y’all that we’re able to do great things and we can’t thank you enough. So, here’s to your NIL support, the continued success it fuels, providing our student-athletes with the best resources in the nation and building champions on and off the fields of competition!
Hook ’em!
HOOK 'EM, HORNS!

I know he's off to the league and all but still, tough to see. Getting released due to injury from preseason of last year that seems career ending.
