There's obviously some super-negative story/idea/made-up-hatred, true or not, that they keep telling each other and pass down through their underclassmen about Texas.
If we knew what that was, we could refute it to them on social media at the very least.
Yes, the obvious course of action is to try and resolve this misunderstanding through tweeting at recruits.

With the news that Guervil is going to commit to Florida being confirmed by Bobby this morning, I wonder if this place can handle the caterwauling we’re all about to experience.
It honestly just looks like Florida got super desperate after missing out on all of their other targets and just blew their whole budget on Guervil. In those situations you just kind of shrug and move on. We seem to be everyones boogeyman and teams get crazy at the 11th hour to not lose out to us. Similar to that TE that committed to USC, if some team wants to throw that kind of money at a kid you can't really be too upset about it.

I can say with absolute certainty that most of the women I hooked up with were hotter than her, including the one I wake up with these days. Also, her legs and knees are borderline disturbing.
Knees are the new thumbs.

You’re right. Anthony Hills and Collin Simmons come along in the portal all the fucking time. Does your body just automatically ejaculate every time you say something stupid? That would explain a lot.
No wonder some of you guys have 50,000+ posts

I think Mateer will likely take too many hits to be effective over a long season. With that line and him loving to scramble around. I do think he was a very good pickup for OU and will add a couple wins over what they could expect for Hawkins.
Nussemeir (sp?) at LSU has looked like a JAG every time I have watched him. And he's had great WRs to throw to. What am I missing?
Mateer is going to be a good player this year. I would bet money he will be a top 10 QB, but I think elite defenses will shut him down because OU just doesn’t have much to help him. Unfortunately, he will probably play 3 or 4 elite defenses this year.

No disrespect to the young man for taking a scholarship to Aggie, but not a single “Alpha” program recruited/offered him.

Thank you for that summary. It verifies what I’ve been thinking to myself every time I see a comment. House didn’t create new money for anyone. It just establishes that Schools can share revenue with athletes (at least that’s my understanding). For most schools, all revenue (and then some) is eaten up by overhead so it’s not like they’ve had $20 million just laying around waiting to be disbursed.
The whole bitch fit about the playoff format is really about subsidizing the payroll of the P2 schools through CFP payouts. Each school in the conference will get around $24 million annually if they go with the 4 auto bids per school.
So, in theory, OU should not be affected unless they are doing some dumb shit with their finances.

OU’s “Champ BBQ Weekend” turned out to be a giant wet fart. They landed Jandreau because his parents pushed him to stick with his brother. They landed a kicker. They landed a 3 star Edge over UCLA and Colorado.
Throughout the weekend, Nagy was live tweeting hints at big things about to happen, getting posters worked up. I’ve listened to this guy over the years and there’s always been a hypeman element to him trying to rally viewers and participants to the Senior Bowl in Mobile. I didn’t realize that would carry over into OU GM territory. It’s gotten to where the sooner posters have rapidly gone from “Trust Nagy!” to mocking his tweets. It’s glorious to witness.
Afterwards, multiple other “big” targets indicated to the Sooner Illustrated mods that they were now looking elsewhere. The overriding theme? Oklahoma is poor. They wanted competitive offers to compare to other schools and they didn’t get them.
They lost an IOL from Pasa-get-down-Dena! who is now choosing between TCU and UH. The guy went to OU this weekend, the mods said OU felt really good about the visit, then they spoke to him later in the day and he said he was choosing elsewhere.
Same story for a 4 star DT they really wanted.
They’re also all over a WR named Dandridge that Georgia really wants and expects to land. The mods are trying to keep hope there while clearly concerned.
The mods and a board “insider” are all now talking about OU prioritizing the portal over HS recruiting and telling board denizens to stop focusing on the HS recruiting rankings. In the span of 48 hours. “Expect fireworks in the portal in December!”
That program is heading south in a hurry. They’ll have a decent team this year, but sustaining any bounce back will be elusive.
Is the house settlement not helping the gooners at all? It seems like they are careening into a Nebraska level downturn.

What's absurd about the take that someone flushing their roster into the portal is some sort of negative, coming from the aggie regime, is that they likely have convinced themselves that they didn't, in fact, just do that.
Now, some of it was flushed by the roster itself, and some of it was Elko flushing it like one of his post-binge drinking grumpies, but it was flushed nonetheless.
On top of that, they're doing it again in this cycle. They're aggressively throwing NIL at recruits and being parsimonious with their current players, sending the message to many of them that they need to hit the fucking road in December.
Hard to argue against the strategy with the Charlie Weis pile of crap special that they are fielding this year.

In fairness, they didn't know he was murdery at the time.

Wow! This is the type of huge commitment this board was waiting for. Top 25 national player in the On3 industry rankings, top 15 in the 247 composite.
Where are the other 24? What is this, amateur hour?

I’m just thinking about Edwards. What a dice roll. With Texas’ success in getting RB’s drafted in the nfl, going with Texas is pretty much a guarantee of success, while picking A&M could end up like Larry Johnson or all the other failures they’ve had the last several years.
Even if they are offering substantially more money, it seems like a poor decision that could really screw up his nfl plans. There is no way I would have done that. He would get enough money from Texas and he’d have much more corporate mil upside potential. And a higher chance of success. He’s making a bad decision.
The easy answer to this is that the guy who was coaching all of those RBs in the league is no longer coaching the running backs.

Per someone writing the checks we are upping the bid on Atkinson and several others. He’s not gonna end up here but others will have to pay. We are managing things on a high level and even in recruitments we aren’t likely to win we are a big fucking problem for everyone else out there. It’s a fantastic time to be a Texas fan. I’m enjoying it immensely. Once it officially became a game of money and intelligence we rose to the top in a hurry. Fun times.

SIAP.
Good video breakdown on Arch
A nice breakdown. I think the accuracy thing is a bit overblown, but in fairness the guy is working with a small sample size.
Even if it holds true, if Arch is the polar opposite of Quinn I think we will be fine: Occasionally inaccurate, great down the field, great pocket presence, very aggressive, and a good athlete.

Sounds like someone working with old info. Could he correct, but it’s from before the Texas visit.
This sounds like it could be a hard landing for old tyler if he is basing his projection on the fact that a kid told him his school led directly after a visit.
