    Beamer ran a trick play on a kickoff where he had the returner spread his arms as if signaling no return.  Beamer claimed he check with refs before game and if returner doesn't make an "incomplete" arm motion, the ball is not dead and ball can still be returned (sounds like bullshit to me).  Later in game when Illinois had an injured player, Beilema walked over to USC sidelines and mockingly made an arms out gesture to Beamer.  At this point it was clear Illinois was going to win, so Beamer went ape shit and pretended to have to be held back, even though in a scuffle Beilema could have just sat on or eaten Beamer to put a quick end to the affair.

    Also Bielema was just his usual ass-ish self....sending out super late substitutions every time on defense and instructing his fat players to run off and onto the field as slow as possible, forcing Beamer to use multiple timeouts to avoid penalties before the play clock expired since the refs weren't letting the offense snap the ball.  Legal...sure.  But shady and par for the course for Brett.  That was really the genesis of it all imo.

    Would love for this to once surprisingly go our way. Can’t even think the last time a recruitment like this surprised us last second for the good guys.  

    Payton Kirkland kind of came out of nowhere a few days before announcing for us.  Not a 5 star, but still very highly regarded at the time and a surprise in our favor.  Never even visited campus before committing if I recall.  But yeah, these typically don't seem to go our way.

    He's their Miami beat writer I think. I only asked because the info from Ari Wasserman on his podcast was so bad (it was algorithm rec'd to me by Spotify) that I'm a bit weary of their stuff on recruiting. 

    Yeah Wasserman isn't great.  But this note was so specific it had to be from someone on the ground witnessing it first hand so definitely a positive in our favor.  Long time to go, but explains why several analysts think we currently lead.

    Who is their general recruiting writer that would have notes like that?

    This writeup was from Manny Navarro.  I'm not following him or anything but the story was listed under the "More for you" section of my feed so guessing since I typically read most recruiting related stories it showed up for me.  

  5. Would love to get another year from Whittington, but I just have a feeling he's gone.  Agents always sell these kids that they'll go 2-3 rounds higher than the draft grade says because it only takes one team to like them, and the agent has a contact with such and such team and they're telling me that if you're available in the 3rd round, they'd take you in a heartbeat....blah blah blah.

    This is the main point people miss in these discussions, for NFL players it's all about landing that 2nd contract.

    This. 

    But also, these top draft picks get a ton of endorsements in the NFL as well.  It's not an either/or thing where it's a one for one swap of NIL money vs Salary. 
    Trevor Lawrence makes an estimated $3MM per year in endorsements in addition to his salary.

    Setting aside your bias as a rival fan, ask yourself these questions:

     

    Another:  Will Texas offensive line be really good for the first time in forever when Arch sees the field for meaningful snaps in 3 years? 

    Let's not underestimate how big of an impact that had in things.  For the first time in forever, it feels like luck has been on our side a bit.  Cistobal leaving really helped turn the tide on our OL class last year. But credit to Flood for not quitting either.  Hand would have been touring all the BBQ restaurants nearby for 8 months and then last minute offer some out of state 2 stars to fill out the roster.

  8. Wonder if Mario Williams told Addison to check out the the baseball facilities while he's here just for giggles.  Hope I'm wrong, but this sure seems like Addison's camp trying to make it seem like there wasn't already an agreement in place with USC. 

    Only hope is if Marion can sell coaching him up into a high first rounder rather than a late first or early 2nd.  That difference can turn out to be way more than whatever the USC NIL offer could be.

  9. Love bringing in kids like Hall and Billingsley this off-season.  Sometimes if a kid is a little bit lazy or immature in his freshman season, that can be turned around.  They are so used to dominating just on natural talent alone, and they haven't ever had to work that hard for it, focus on fundamentals, or run crisp routes. 

    I'm not one to fully believe practice reports, but Sanders sure seems to be turning heads so far this offseason.  I think he ran into this very issue (Along with not wanting to block apparently).  But a big part of coaching is motivating and getting the most out of your players.  Giving guys like Marion and  Banks ultra talented kids who need to be pushed and motivated isn't the worst thing in the world.   Billingsley had success with Banks coaching him in the past, so maybe he knows what buttons to push.  Plus I think Billingsley being here has had to have pushed Sanders a bit as well.  Bottom line is we need more competition in every room on campus at this point.

    7 national championships, but surly finds a way to criticize saban. L O L. Makes you wonder if God decided to coach Texas we would bitch about his staff hires. 

    I mean why did he pick Mary?  She hasn't even had a kid before.....  What is he thinking?  I give him 2, 3 years tops and we'll all be looking for a new God.
