  1. We arent in the SEC until July, but Makuba and Filsaime probably puts the kaibosh on that.
  2. Neither were clean, but what they did paled in comparison to what they were capable of, which is maybe a better way to say it. Texas isn't a total boy scout either if we are being honest, but admittedly far cleaner than those two. We only really flexed on the B12 the last 2 years, and we see how fast we turned shit around and reminded the also ran programs like Iowa State, Baylor, and K State who the fuck daddy was.
  3. Yeah, being a first or second round draft pick and the running back for the Dallas Cowboys sucks balls.
  4. There is probably a lot of truth in what you say. Tons of schools profited on the big boys like Texas, USC, Georgia, etc running cleanish programs while they were able to load up what resources they had to outbid for key recruits. But honestly, if this is their mindset already then they very well may become the next Nebraska. Unable to compete and adjust in changing times. Anyone thinking the NCAA is going to do anything but implode into itself like the dying star it is has already lost.
  5. Honestly, I am sure this would get swatted down quickly if any school really cared about enough about it to challenge. I am sure some enterprising lawyer could argue that photo shoots and decorated hotel rooms are forms of NIL, and thus not able to be regulated by the NCAA.
  6. Liucci may have just had a stroke.
  7. TCU and SMU (also Liberty) have dropped formal affiliations with religious institutions over the last decade from my understanding. TCU has a divinity school that is no longer part of the campus officially, but those students can access TCU facilities.
  8. It is going to be extremely rare that you have two undefeated teams in conference playing for a championship. Maybe not so rare to have two 1 loss teams in the championship. It would be a fairly simple exercise to give the conference champ title to the team with the better record. The tie breaker could be better conference record first, followed by better overall record. You could call it co-champs if they are still tied, but you could also move to whoever has the higher rank in the CFP if you just absolutely wanted one champ. In the new era of the expanded CFP, I can guarantee you that most coaches would prefer to not have to play that extra game in prep for the playoffs.
  9. You are correct, even more reason to do away with CCG and maybe even drop a non conference regular season game and go back to 11.
  10. They eat moon PIES in the SEC you idiots, not moon PEAS.
  11. How can this be when the B12 runs through Lubbock? TCU is getting a recency bias bump, no way they are 5th. I would put WVU, UCF, KState, and even Iowa State over them.
  12. Nah man, K-State and Iowa State for sure have us on the list. They really have an irrational hatred of all things Texas to the extent that it is a boogie man complex. Baylor, TCU, and Tech as well. Nebraska, Arkansas, OU, A&M. That leaves two more schools and I have no idea where those are coming from. Houston and Rice maybe?
  13. Enjoyment of recruits and players is at the bottom of the list for the NCAA, but this is right in their wheelhouse. Making completely arbitrary rulings on random minutia is what the fat bureaucratic slop pigs want to wallow in all day every day.
  14. Going to 16 teams will ensure that every team needs to play 3 games to win the title. That will drastically impact the regular season. I could see conference championship games going away since the top teams will essentially play an NFL schedule.
  15. Gerry has hinted that Texas wants more size at that position and isn't really pushing for him. This is Zac Swanson 2.0 as a frame.
  16. I truly wonder if it is possible for them to have a thread on texags that does not mention us. I am not sure I have ever seen one.
  17. That's a quality pickup. For some reason I was thinking he was faster than he looks on film, but still a good back.
  18. Candied.. the sick bastards.
  19. The only thing I will say is that the extent of the allergy may not have been known. If someone comes to me and says "Hey, even the very sight of a peanut could kill me. It is really serious.", my next rational thought is not going to be how to smear peanut products all over him as a joke. But if I think a kid might just break out in hives if he eats a peanut, then the prank is within the realm of just being a dumbass. I seriously doubt there was true malicious intent to put the kid's life in danger. But I could also be wrong and the kid is a Charles Manson junior cadet.
  20. The person I am most concerned for is Gus. I can just see him flying out of his mind on a call.. "FUMBLE PICKED UP BY <INSERT TEAM>! THEY AREN'T GONNA CATCH HIM! NOAH.... KNIGGA..... MY KNIGGA!"
  21. On the flip side, I could just as likely see a push to have home games at say Cincinnati or Troy or any other 35,000 seat stadium moved to the nearest neutral site location that can house a much larger number of fans. Thus negating any real home field advantage because a lot more of the opposing fans will show up. It shouldn't happen, but it could.
  22. Wherever it is, I am pretty sure this is where Vince dropped off our 05 national championship trophy.
  23. I am a bit of a QB scientist myself, so let me go ahead and just spoil the intrigue over the next few years, as I have done accurately in the last several drafts. JJ McCarthy is nothing more than a game manager at the next level with a likely 1 or 2 year starting career followed by a longer string as #2, he was nothing more than that in college. Can a pent up 1980's power run offense by a former DC turned HC win with him? Sure, if he has a stacked team around him (see Purdy, Brock). But don't expect him to be able to put the team on his back more than once per season and deliver. Caleb Williams is the Deshaun Watson of this draft. His bust potential is as high as his boom potential, and he may do both. Williams is elite in almost every physical category and can make a QB guru type coach a career if he gets that dude (see Reid, Andy). He has clear flaws and question marks between the ears, but an elite game planner/play caller will save him from himself. If he doesn't get that, then he could be 5 and out. Sean P Drake Maye is Colt McCoy with more pro tools. He has that wicked accuracy and decision making but with a better arm. Solid leader, by all accounts a decent dude, and a hard worker. However, unlike Colt, he was not good enough to mask major deficiencies on the rest of his team. If I am drafting him, my main question is how come he didn't carry his team more than he did. I think he starts longer than JJ, but not much longer unless he finds himself in a perfect system. Sean McVay or Sean Payton are probably the best coaches for him. Jayden Daniels is a guy that I think could have a solid career, but he is going to be minimized at the next level athletically and not able to get away with some of the shit he did at LSU. He is not the next Lamar Jackson. Bo Nix... lol. A checkdown master with scrambling ability will make a bad team just as bad. Michael Penix is the guy we could all look back on 5 years from now and wonder why all of the obvious signs that he was going to be great seemed to not register. Put this dude in a downfield passing attack and he could be a three contract guy in the NFL. His decision making, throwing to leverage, and insane downfield accuracy are all better than anyone in the draft. If they try to put him into a more traditional progression based system he will underperform, if they put him behind a bad OL then he will be injury prone, but if he gets a Shanahan/McDaniel/Reid type system then he is going to be a monster.
  24. This seems like a layup Oklahoma commit. OU family, satisfies Venables weird obsession with getting kids from Austin to commit, highly questionable character, likes to knock people out in public places, protected by big peanut, karen mom who looks like she just got rawdogged in the parking lot in her mini van. 7 star sooner.
