  1. Always try to read you and others an one post the full Sark link and that other one about now bad ass Texas is. sorry i'm fading.
  2. We totally need that. We had to run a scat back all last year. Putting Arch in for red zone runes last year because he's super fast, 225lbs, and just freakingly athletic isn't optimal. We need his arm first.
  3. Closer to $450k over this and last year. Shopping an offer is fine. But when you tell a staff one thing and decide an OSU visit is needed. We don't use hard checks to close but do expect loyalty/honesty. Hence the Ojo no go for any reason. I have the benefit to know I'm dying soon from MS and hemochromatosis (shitloads of iron in blood, I'm over 10x what a human should have) and really don't need money for retiring now. Easy to give some to Texas. And no I don't have sway other than declining to up what I'd given. Like I said, I'd like Cooper in this class but really think the young man could have managed things better.
  4. I'd like to have Cooper in this class. I'm not contributing more money for that to happen and many others aren't. Shopping a top offer just kinda pisses off the alpha money. M.Lee and Rosenborough are my tops. I'll contribute for them.
  5. Money and some big donors saying no. His contract is limited and done. Shopping it, not a good idea.
  6. He's shopping our offer which is the best he will get from us. My vote for what it matters was to pull his offer. Kid isn't a unicorn and will sit for 1-2 years. He's really pissed off Texas on this.
  7. It's ok @BurntOrange&White, I think every person I know is mad at me for some reason. Now me losing 10 or more minutes just staring at your avatar is another issue. I'm not using food utensils when I to @Hagbard Celine place. I know I can drink the creamed corn and other things so that helps.
  8. Shit did you see the food pic from @Hagbard Celine? I'm only 155lbs but wanted to crush my screen to start shoveling that food in my mouth.
  9. Yep, going there asap @Hagbard Celine. Had me at fried Okra. And to be semi on topic Brooks may be our LT when Goosby goes NFL. All signs point to greatness for this young man.
  10. if we can close with Cooper, Lee, Roseborough, and Benjamin ... that's a good year. I'm still not sure what the staff has in mind for Max Wright IOL or a RT? Coleman brothers from last year and Nick Brooks seem to be doing great.
  11. Is Gumby's pizza still around? That and Taco Bell on the Drag fed me for years and the guy selling fried rice outside of McCombs. Spent a few years at the Woo. There was a good Greek place on the Drag - downstairs. Before the arcade place that I wasted too much money at - Street Fighter. I'm searching @Gut Wagon. Burgers and wings I'm solid on though. We are getting closer to Cooper time! I still want to get M.Lee. Greedy, I suppose.
  12. I would order many of those @BurntEyes. Now if any of you Longhorns can point me to a decent chicken fried steak place in or close to Smyrna, GA (just West of ATL proper) with white gravy. Grateful. Yep, thread derailed but aren't we all just waiting on Cooper?
  13. My bad on that, sir thank you. He went too soon.
  14. Leach was awesome. He had swagger and personality. Smarts to go with it too. Loved what he'd do to aggie. Never understood how fast he left us. I guess cancer can do that shit. Older Horn but any of you miss the Rice band? I liked their stuff. Agree with above posters. CDC and Sark & company are all first rate. We are Texas.
  15. I think we have utterly and completely failed on learning. We do have nice tit pics though and the girl that does the booty shorts on some talk show!
  16. Watch the Michigan game with a healthy Ewers. He never fully recovered from ankle sprains and core issues. Lack of velocity and deep throws were already suspect but became an albatross. He was using pure arm on things with no core or foundation. Still did an admirable job. Arch then the next, Dia? Moore? etc Sark knows Qbs.
  17. that tie is pure class. This is a young man that went from walk on to all everything and wants a championship. Recruiting, I'd really like M.Lee in this class and Roseborough. Cooper too. Can a 6'8" guy (Wright) play center? I don't know OL stuff other than seeing Ojo get his ass handed to him by every EDGE guy he faced. That seems bad to me. And his first step was always wrong. Wright is smart, guard or center after development?
  18. And on TT. I sold A PE company near there. Have any of you been in West Texas? You honestly can't drink the water from fracking - all for it I guess but damn. Lubbock is a true shitstain. Oil money has a decent look but that place is below Ukraine on living. Ojo getting put on his ass by every 4-5* guys, well dodged a bullet there. Let's flip M.Lee.
  19. Well. good for aggie. They do have a great recruiting class. I'm curious on how it ends though? I'm sure Elk and that elite coaching staff will bring it home on some Golden Corral developmental program with their S$C coach from WWII. I'll be amazed if this class of aggie doesn't do a 2022. Give them time. Sleeping giant and that.
  20. LOL, Agree! and also agree with @Codaxx. He can stuff the run, rush, or drop back in coverage. There's a reason he's going 1st round after this year. He can do anything. Best I've seen since D. Johnson. He's a monster. Heck, you could play that talent at safety even - he's that damn good. Ok, my China take out place closes soon, bbl after an MSG coma.
  21. I like Bobby but, damn you guys are hook/line/sinker on pure common sense on things. He gives what is easily known. No insiders on this staff.
  22. I agree with @Vertigo, Roseborough with what the Coleman brothers have done first year to body reshape and strengthen (one dropped almost 40 lbs other gained muscle mass) could be maulers in the IOL. Nick Brooks seems to be doing great at learning OT. I'd like to get Atkinson but he's not an Ant Hill and we have a few super studs waiting in LB. Not worth going nuts on money imo. This is a take a break on some areas year (WR especially - developmental time). We've got DT in the works to avoid such harsh portal needs. OL - need to flip Lee imo. Secondary, as long as Smoke has close down corner ability, we are good. If not, we f'ed up on that purchase. Cooper, really would like to get him but under realistic terms.
  23. aggie has done a great job on recruiting. They need basically, everything. One of their main recruiting strategies is similar to their Soviet campus design "isolationism" from what CS is really like. They can buy players ala 2022 but I suspect their current class will, as usual, have massive defections after a year there. Maybe Elko sold them though. Will be interesting. Especially on WR. Reed is not good - watch their Spring game. Turn off volume because every play some goober is talking about how great he runs while he can't hit a WR unless (2nd half) they use 2-3rd string secondary for him. Reed not at SEC media day. The 2nd guy is better and that random guy they brought in looked better but Reed can run! They're going to have trouble keeping those OOS kids once they realize life in CS. They'll start well but at best 8-4 imo would be the top. Recruiting, this relates because we can flip some after November. There's only a couple I'd want though. Never been sold on Krempin, maybe Roseborough? We never seemed to engage Arrington, who knows? Their defense can only improve after wasting NFL talent that Wisner abused. But Elk is taking charge there, so who knows. Defense for them - man coverage and stuff the run with contained blitz on Reed (he can run).
  24. I'm in the Texas has a plan (it's similar to NFL payment validation for positions and players) and hope they follow it. This is a developmental/plug year for us. No recruit other than potentially Wesley will see significant playing time other than maybe special teams from this class for 2 or more years. That's what we need. Backstopping our DL, OL, secondary, a LB or so to develop. Would like to flip M. Lee if reasonable, Cooper would be great - big back but stay sane on it. People aren't looking at our current roster talent enough. We need to keep those guys that have a year or so in our system first (Becton is greatness). We can develop now and have time for it ... unlike the prior 10 or so years. Get the best talent in a reasonable way, develop them, profit with wins. Ojo is a great example of what not to do. He needs the Goosby plan but his TT deal is for 3 years. Ideally he would develop over 2 or so years then contribute. TT has put themselves in a position that he may get a year if lucky and will struggle or may never get it. His recent tape shows this. Every EDGE we looked at or have (Wesley) showed how raw he is on skill. It's geared for the defense on those drills! Wrong. No hips, no flex, no use of power, bad feet, too high, bad first step, etc. Can be coached but needs time. Their deal doesn't allow that. Maybe it works OK in Big 12, not here for that price tag. Good post @SL Xpress.
