  1. Amazed they let this happen. I think this puts the final nail in the coffin of the “Oklahoma knew this was coming” theory.
  2. How dare you not give them credit for going on the road to the hostile environment of Arlington, TX to play Arkansas? Typical sip spin
  3. Great pics. How bad was the line when you went?
  4. Is this different from the general slush fund? Whoever makes NIL contributions simple, easy and not sketchy is going to win. Why does Amazon and Walmart have the “Buy Now” button? Because it makes people spend more. Why does Google care so much about speed? Because the longer pages take to load, the less likely people will sit around and keep clicking. Why haven’t you opened limewire in over a decade? Because streaming content legally has never been easier or safer. I am simply regurgitating points that others have made more eloquently, but I don’t think the power of crowdfunding has been taken as seriously as it should.
  5. I don’t know what would be more realistic: (a) trying to court Mickey Joseph after giving his relative Terry the boot or (b) Evan Stewart’s entourage putting together a DCF model to compare bags versus NIL funds.
  6. My ND friends have mixed feelings on Kelly. In terms of impact on UT, it does seem like the least worse option compared to Cristobal, Riley or Rhule. That said, I will never forget a bizarre Kelly story from the final Charlie Strong year. During ND practice, the staff had set up one of the pieces of equipment—that padded alley where the running back pushes through several dummy pads—backwards. Meaning that the running back was essentially running into an immovable padded door. A walk on running back recognized it was backwards and tried to tell Kelly. Kelly, shocked at the audacity of his player to question him, shut the player down and said something along the lines of “it’s not, shut the fuck up and do the drill.” Running back proceeded to try it at a full sprint, bounced off the equipment and ended up in concussion protocol. I hope he brings that kind of attitude to the SEC.
  7. So are you saying this is a bad time to fire up the major everhart discussions again? https://247sports.com/player/major-everhart-46100657/
  8. I’d like to think his unit’s performance at UW merits some optimism, but we (and the league in general) does not have a great track record when it comes to expecting an older coach with a previously successful scheme to actively self critique, acknowledge failings and weakness of their approach, and appropriately tailor his gameplan and scheme to fit the strengths of his personnel rather than continue push a square peg into a star-shaped hole.
  9. The defense looks like they’re thinking less and acting instinctually
  10. Good to see sims get a lot of run so far
  11. Not sure about the current pit master, but you might be thinking of John Lewis, who was the pit master at La BBQ when it first opened. He moved to South Carolina in 2018 and now has the top rated bbq joint in that state. Just further evidence that all those people that won’t stop crowing about how “Carolina cue” is so special and unique are full of it. Central Texas came, saw, and conquered.
  12. Has anyone seen anything definitive on whether transfers from this spring/summer count towards this cycle’s spots? I.e., will Craig Naivar’s merry band of USC misfits help pad our numbers?
  13. I actually met that kid’s father at a wedding recently. A living breathing insufferable stereotype: drives a maroon F-150, refused to be in the same room with the groom’s uncle until he took off his UT law hat. Bragged that he told his kids he wouldn’t pay for their college unless they went to A&M. Poor kid was doomed from the start, but it doesn’t look like the apple fell far from the tree.
  14. Sark made it a point in a press conference to say that he wants to get Wright some garbage time minutes. While it’s be ambitious to count on him as the primary backup next year, this would be a good step in that direction.
  15. That’s a lot of conditional language. If they’re back, it might be because GP is rushing them out to help cool his seat and because he hates Texas. Not because they are fully 100%.
  16. Marrone is arguably one of the top OL coaches in the country with Flood now that Bloomgren and Cristobal are head coaches. That being said, it must be a rude awakening to have your position coach leave and be replaced by a mercenary that won’t let you sniff the two deep.
  17. There is certainly a lot of insecurity to unpack in this post, but it is sad to see that the Oxford comma has not made its way down to Arkansas yet.
  18. Cant make it for work, trying to give it to someone who will go and be loud. PM me if interested
  19. Lol, there’s no better endorsement than eating all of the brisket before you remember to take a picture.
  20. Fair point. I think it’s more a question of “when” not “if”. And I’ll take the under.
  21. What impact do you think the “alliance” has or will have? It seems like it’s worth about as much as the paper it’s written on…
  22. I don’t know how you can be a fan of bbq and not excited for the possibility he cranks out a couple good months here. Sure, the quality of his meat varies wildly depending on how much he drank the night before. But back in 2014, there were days when he made the best brisket in the city out of that trailer in East Austin. And that was competing against Aaron Franklin and John Lewis when he was still at LA Barbecue.
