  1. 8 year deal? Either way, it's bullshit. Guy doesn't even specify who is paying or how much will be streaming vs. linear.
  2. Interesting article about how much each team is spending on recruiting: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2023/04/05/college-football-recruiting-budget-georgia-alabama-tennessee/11605732002/ Here's the top ten: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Grand Total Avg. Georgia 2,270,960 2,626,622 3,676,858 2,738,389 699,782 4,506,248 16,518,859 2,753,143.17 Clemson 1,065,046 1,790,976 2,234,173 1,553,788 167,223 3,158,941 9,970,147 1,661,691.17 Texas A&M 1,280,508 1,710,101 1,673,204 1,066,904 691,591 2,984,168 9,406,476 1,567,746.00 Tennessee 1,604,549 2,002,871 2,247,289 1,615,820 339,878 2,918,691 10,729,098 1,788,183.00 Oklahoma 1,113,946 1,264,809 1,276,908 1,067,584 183,584 2,632,817 7,539,648 1,256,608.00 Texas 847,231 1,823,307 1,275,368 707,207 713,374 2,439,774 7,806,261 1,301,043.50 Alabama 1,536,958 2,344,057 2,633,467 2,105,688 527,662 2,324,470 11,472,302 1,912,050.33 Michigan 1,559,796 1,397,784 1,411,989 970,685 540,268 2,240,064 8,120,586 1,353,431.00 Oregon 932,300 997,019 1,214,211 697,191 484,686 1,836,865 6,162,272 1,027,045.33 Florida 1,035,731 1,155,802 1,271,821 946,164 391,215 1,641,320 6,442,053 1,073,675.50
  3. Fair points but over the last 13 years I've noticed that absurd things happen to Texas with unsettling regularity.
  4. Take was so bad it got a non-bullshit response from futureman. Crazy. Like watching a mime break character.
  5. Burton was talking with Cook today and mentioned that he's heard Burke passed Finkley on the depth chart. I'm surprised but pretty happy to hear that. I don't dislike Finkley at all, but he's a high floor / low ceiling guy and if Burke is ahead of him that seems like good news.
  6. Some good snippets from practice. Red tossing Finkley on a run.
  7. I'm pretty new here, but is futureman not an obvious joke? Every post he makes is very clearly intended to draw an eye roll or a chuckle because it's patently bullshit. Like, the humor (if you like that sort of thing) is in how absolutely fucking stupid it is. It's annoying if you don't think it's funny - even then it's just a bad joke, but it is still clearly a joke. I mean, I fully expect him to respond to this post with feigned outrage and hurt feelings, protesting that everything he says is meant in earnest. Because that's what trolls do. Nobody on here actually believes anything he says is meant to be serious, right?
  8. We do, but we're not all holier-than-thou about it like Dabo "God's NIL" Swinney.
  9. Yeah, sounds like A&M sees Bussey playing offense and that's what he really wants. The Gipson change is weird - I thought we led for him, but it sounds like Clemson is in the driver's seat. I can't $ee why thing$ have changed.
  10. I'm not worried about losing Ovie. Not trying to shit on the guy, but he was adequate at best. I'm hoping that mart, situational use of Finkley/Burke/Tapp will produce better results for our pass rush. As others have said, I think the interior line might regress somewhat - the starters will still be good, but there won't be as much talented depth. All that being said, coverage creates sacks. If our CBs are really as good as people are saying, the pass rush issue may solve itself.
  11. Jesus Christ that edit is horrible. Makes him look 90 years old.
  12. To clarify, because someone will get confused - he had Texas ranked 7th this year, but 8th in 2022. Not sure if this is appropriate for the recruiting board, but here's what he said: Things are rarely boring at Texas, especially at the quarterback position, which could go in several directions over the next three years. Quinn Ewers is back for his second season as a Longhorn, but needs to consistently show accuracy and playmaking ability. Ewers, ESPN's No. 2 overall recruit in 2021, spent a season at Ohio State before transferring, and finished the 2022 campaign at Texas with two of his better performances. But the arrival of Arch Manning creates an added layer of pressure on Ewers to keep developing. Ideally, Ewers holds down the QB1 spot through 2023 before giving way to Manning, the latest product from America's most famous quarterbacking family. Manning finished as ESPN's No. 5 overall recruit in the 2023 class, but ranked behind quarterbacks Nelson and UCLA signee Dante Moore. He might end up pushing Ewers in 2023 before likely taking over the starting job by 2024. Not surprisingly, Texas lost Hudson Card to the transfer portal. Maalik Murphy, a second-year player with a big frame (6-foot-5, 225 pounds), could share the backup role this coming season with Manning. Murphy was ESPN's No. 250 recruit in the 2022 class.
  13. The horns down and the continued butt hurt about the 2009 Big 12 CCG are delicious. We are the Cemetery Ridge to the Pickett's Charge of Nebraska football.
  14. Sark on Bussin' With the Boys: Don't love the channel, but Sark did a good job. Talks a bit about the Manning recruitment and how he ended up at Texas.
