  1. Cam Williams didn't RS (played on FG/XP team all season), so will be a true Soph in '23. Also think he could play G if Jones returns at RT.
  2. And Barron & Watts played their asses off on the perimeter destroying WR screens & QB zone read keeps, plus momentum plays like a sack and fumble recovery return for TD.
  3. Y'all have some real reading comprehension issues... My point was IF he wanted to pull the same type of stunt as last year and threaten to portal if he doesn't get more money. That's a "me before we" mentality that Sark has been trying to get rid of. There's a difference between wanting to be taken care of and mercs only allegiance to the highest bidder. If you want some CSTAT shit here in ATX, then go on with thinking there is no limit to other people's money you are willing to spend regardless of attitude or results.
  4. He won't be the #1 receiver here if he keeps giving up on routes and dropping balls. If Neyor hadn't gone down, he would have usurped that role by now. Next year... Sanders, Thompson, Cook, injury returnees and/or portal refugees will gladly take those targets if he doesn't want them.
  5. Patterson didn't exactly fare so well vs. Sonny the last couple outings.
  6. Call his bluff... the lack of consistency and occasional lapse of effort doesn't warrant a pay bump. If he wants to risk jumping into a new room with a new playbook and new QB to build a rapport with for his "contract" year, then best of luck.
  7. Perfect for a team like TAMU, so when "The King" inevitably goes out with injury, they have the built in excuse for not meeting expectations again. 🤘🏽
  8. I think this was a reference to actual bulls coming to the Moody center. He's wearing the protective vest the Austin PBR team wears.
  9. Thanks for the reminder that my "flair" had expired. As an inaugural BAMF donor, and a re-upped Burnt Ends member here's your flair🖕 🤘🏽
  10. Would also highlight the former Texas players working in sports journalism today: Brian Jones, Manny Acho, Sam Acho, Chris Simms, multiple guys on LHN (while it lasts) https://moody.utexas.edu/news/prime-time
  11. Big deal. I'll consider it a convenience fee until there is a team wide alternative or line extensions of the Burnt Ends here at Surly.
  12. The point was that it was an ez and legal way to support the entire roster of players even if you never use Discord (there will also be IRL events & at least one tailgate).
  13. I am an alumnus and $199 going directly to the players instead of administrative bloat was an easy call 🤘🏽 Frankly, between Clark Field Collective, Horns With Heart, Burnt Ends, The Players' Lounge, adhoc memorabilia signing events, coaching FB camps for rich kids in Westlake, car lease NIL deals, dropping mix tapes, or doing sponsored posts on social media, there's no shortage of opportunities to make $ as a UT FB player. If we lose out on prospects expecting a bag or who have handlers that need a cut, that might just mean shifting slots to portal talent where the ROI is a little easier to project.
  14. Talk is cheap... Our new player's NIL initiative has only sold 359 of their 4k available passes at $199 each. We have 1/2 million living alumni and thousands of season ticket holders that make annual gifts well in excess of that amount just to keep their seats and OU priority, so I'm disappointed they haven't sold out already.
  15. I can see that... Nice to have options you believe allowing at least one of the '23 guys to RS.
  16. I think he has the inside track for the move TE position post Billingsley and will be a special teams player and depth guy this year.
  17. I wasn't questioning the date (I had heard the same). I was just having some fun with the typo 🤣
  18. rubmlings? hmm... sounds like his source is a "masseuse"
  19. Oh.. just a certain NFL QB's son from Ramapo High in Franklin Lakes, NJ
  20. You do know that on the big USA map only the staff spots are posted for Texas. For the players from the state you have to go to the adjacent Texas only map which naturally has big clusters for the state population centers.
  21. Wrong! Notice Agent Zero is still wearing 31 in that picture, so that pic was not from last season.
  22. Technically no as that would be an inducement to attend, no? The beauty of position room endowments is they can be announced in the media without targeting any particular recruit Setting that floor fairly high while players know they can layer on their own merch, sponsored posts, autograph signings, etc can puts Texas in a very competitive position vs anyone else's NIL opportunities.
