True or false - Your source fucked up the Bob Armstrong dip by spilling a margarita all over it at one of the first face to face meetings of the guys that started pancake factory.
I think it was the second face to face meeting

1 hour ago, tokamak said:USC struggling to figure out NIL surprises me. On paper, seems like they should be a net winner.
They have some donors and are motivated. Their administration has held them back pretty badly and their lack of cohesiveness has been a big detriment. Also commercial opportunities are nowhere near what some would think "because they are in LA". Cali in general has so many damn pro teams that it really leeches from what they can do in NIL. Lambo of Austin loves sponsoring these texas kids because Texas IS the pro team in town (Sorry Verde fans), Lambo of LA would much rather throw ad money at a guy like Anthony Davis or hell, even Austin Reaves than whoever is a great LT or DT at USC. Then throw in the fact that they have to compete with the dodgers, angels, kings, rams, chargers, lakers, clippers, galaxy etc etc etc and its tough, especially for the bottom of the roster. Jake Majors has a Lambo, I can guarantee the center at USC isnt making shit

-Texas isn't taking 5 HS WRs.
-Fasusi should be on the list.
-Assume 4 OLs this cycle.
-There could be 10+ OOS recruits in this cycle.
I assume the breakdown for Texas will go:
-25 signees
-1 QB - Lacey
-2 TB - Stewart, maybe Davison (his NIL wants at this point are allegedly absurd), but for sure someone
-3 WR - Lockett, Johnson, Ffrench/Moore/Harris
-2 TE - Winston, Armstrong
-2 OT - Fasusi, Newman
-2 IOL - Thomas, Mills/Langi
-3 DT - Brown, Sharma/Guidry, Williams
-2 DE - Woodfork/Morgan, Jackson
-3 LB - Williams, Pettijohn, Barnes
-2 CB - Brew, Sellers
-1 S - Delane
-2 ATH - Terry, Curry
I assume that is easily a top 5 class. Obviously a whole bunch of shit will change and half these guys won't matter by signing day, but that's my list in Feb 24.
This post reminded me how much I despise learning kids names every single cycle

I would much rather be confused with RG3 than Tom Herman so I consider this a win

Wouldn't surprise me at all if schools quietly asked the NCAA to reign in the photo shoots. Schools fucking hate them. Takes forever and all that time would be better spent getting to know the recruit and showing him around.
I'm with you on the cookie cakes, though. Don't see why anyone would give a fuck. Maybe some schools were decorating hotel rooms with hookers and blow.
All these rules come from the schools. They hate the tedium of shit like photo shoots and decorating hotel rooms and shit

Was coming to post about this.
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ea-will-offer-11-000-college-football-players-600-each-for-video-game-nil-rightsshit is insane. People are telling them to reject the offer lmao this is stupid as fuck. $600 is more than basically all athletes get it’s a huge deal and it’s a lot of money. Everyone comparing it to NFL players cuts is insane there are way fewer pro players and they are actually professional.
It’s enough to buy a new console plus get the game to play. If anyone ops out they are either a diva or dumb

Correct!
But I was already SAG after getting SAG Vouchers 2 out of the 4 days I was “Blue Collar Guy with Blue Collar Car” in the big Nicolas Cage jumping a flatbed tow truck by using its ramp up on the bridge over the Port of LA to get away from the cops as he was stealing his last car in “Gone In 60 Seconds” because I offered to keep the cooler of drinks for the extras up on the bridge in the back seat of my car.
Then I got my 3rd voucher by hitting up my high school buddy’s suite mate from sophomore year at Princeton who cast me as an extra in an mental hospital in a scene from the cable show that he and his brother wrote & directed.
Ahhhh… the glamour of Hollywood!

Where does one even find banana pudding these days outside of children's elementary school lunches and retirement communities? I know Pappadeaux used to have one that people liked. Outside of that, are you people running around at Cracker Barrel or Golden Corral scooping that stuff up in batches?
I had bananas foster buttercake at Eddie V's and bananas foster at Brennan's recently and those things were outstanding. A good banana cream pie is awesome. Banana Pudding? Dost thou thinketh me a hobo, sirs?

But there are often incentives for players to raise their NIL payments based on how they play. Conversely, a few players mentioned their NIL payments could go down if they don’t perform well. Beyond cash, players often also receive additional incentives like a leased vehicle.
“The way I have it, the first two years are 400 guaranteed, and after my sophomore year I can ask to renegotiate based on how I play,” Recruit 2 said.
“If you produce, you get bonuses,” Recruit 12 said. “Some schools do it differently, but that’s how ours does it.”
As for what players must do to earn the money, responses varied from appearing at charity events and social media posts to just being on the team.
“It’s a collective thing,” Recruit 6 said. “Just be part of the team, everybody gets it.”
Recruit 2 said that there were no off-field requirements tied to his pay.
“I think it’s just from the collective,” he said.
BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA IF A SINGLE WORD OF THIS IS TRUE I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT BETTER ABOUT TOF STANDING WITH THE NCAA AND NIL RULES. LITERALLY THE SOLE DEFINITION OF WHAT YOU CANT DO....L O L

@immamac and I are getting committed to getting the Surly Horns pod back on track now with at least weekly podcasts. May have a different structure of sorts but either way we are making it happen

The promotion of JMJ seems meh at best...Will be interesting who they get in that director of recruiting role.
Barbacoa was the one who disappeared it seemed after saying he and his group were bag men and basically got shit on by @SydneyCarton and @closetojumping right?
49 minutes ago, SydneyCarton said:Correct. That was Barbacoa. He basically never understood NIL, wanted to get his cousin who was a bookie to try and run a bag game for Texas, and he always promised to deliver money and never did, switch pitching to the bag game every time anyone interacted with the guy.
"I know I said I had 100k in booster money looking to get into NIL, but how about you guys fund my cousin and we can get a bag game going?"It was the fourth of July when we ruined that man's surly life. I remember chugging dos equis and glizzys in equal order, getting out of the pool, and then checking my phone where @immamac and @SydneyCarton destroyed the man's entire family. Then the rest of the horns with heart squad equally stomped on the man's liquified anus.
SC and I met with him once at Pinkerton's, for some reason Shark Mccullogh was there as well, all he wanted to do was talk to Shark about how he was illegally paid (Side note: he wasn't) and how we could replicate this...mind you, this is AFTER the pancake factory and after we had legit IRS approval for the first-ever 501c3. We created a fucking space shuttle but this dude INSISTED on only riding on horseback to get to the moon.
@Barbacoa fucking raised his hand at a NIL donation happy hour and asked the host/presenter about running a bag game. To this day, I do not think I have ever heard anything more out of touch with a situation. It was like asking Albert Einstein how to do basic addition and subtraction while he was talking about quantum physics. Also he still owes us like 800k in completely empty promises. Fuck him

For the record Plonsky has not even been the slight bit of hindrance since the initial rules came out. Once she adjusted, she got it. Compliance is not an issue in the slightest and if anything, they save us from ourselves

Dude, you're thinking of Chris Ash. I don't remember much about Flood's time at Rutgers. Ash's first staff in 2016 is one of the all-time worst P5 staffs, ever. Go look it up. You have Drew Mehringer as the OC, for starters. I think some of the position coaches are and have been out of football. Most lack wikipedia pages and are not guys that any of us can credibly claim to know well. Just complete trash.
The fact that Mehringer is celebrated in Oregon is proof that a properly weaponized NIL machine can make anyone look really good, for awhile at least. Worth nothing for future thought.
1. You are correct, definitely was thinking of Chris Ash
2. Demean 2019 Recruiter of the Year, Drew Mehringer, at your own peril sir

Do you want Flood making the offensive hires? Want @closetojumping to go on a rant about his Rutgers staff?
