  1. I've been on this board for a couple of years now. Not sure I'd rate humanity's levels of consciousness that high. Thumbs are pretty sweet though. They make hitting the space bar a lot easier.
  2. From what I remember, he does not have one set yet. Just sometime this fall. Hey man, triple jump is hard. I tried it at one track meet freshman year and I looked like a fucking QWOP character.
  3. Shit, that's a good answer. Wasn't he even committed to us at one point? Edit: answered up thread. I remember that bullshit now.
  4. Honest question - when was the last time we had an OL flip to DL and have any kind of success? Seems rare.
  5. Shit yeah they’re embarrassed. They make the national championship then have their coach ganked by big brother. The 2023-24 athletic year has been one of the best in loving memory for Aggie years. Shit is hysterical.
  6. This is just dumb. What about Sark makes you think he doesn’t recruit through the whistle? The staff won’t be “done” with Moore until he signs his NLI. Yes. Brandon Baker will be a very good LT and there are several others with potential.
  7. Way to not fuck up the kickoff.
  8. After seeing FSU shit the bed today:
  9. Reminds me that I need to buy myself and my son a set of matching burnt orange velour track suits. https://www.nycmode.com/products/sergio-tacchini-dallas-velour-track-jacket-50405-444
  10. https://aggieswire.usatoday.com/2024/08/23/texas-aggies-football-athletic-director-trev-alberts/ Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts 'hopeful' that Lone Star Showdown becomes annual There is no way this game isn't played annually. The SEC needs to get it's shit together and either switch to 9 conference games or figure out a way to protect rivalries.
  11. Holy shit. That guy is impressively calm.
  12. That's probably how he got so fat.
  13. They're not wrong, but it also depends on the kid and on context. Some of the big, late flips in the '22 class were because of coaching changes. I don't think we can depend on that this season. When Hill committed to A&M in '23, I was still optimistic about our chances - the Aggies are a shitshow and I just didn't see them hanging on to a prospect wasn't a complete fucking moron. Are those kinds of shifts going to happen again this season? Do we want to bank on LSU or Oregon tripping at the finish line? My point isn't that you or anyone else is wrong when they say that there is still a lot of time until signing day and that Sark has been good at closing late in the game. Those are reasons for optimism. But I don't think that means there isn't any cause for concern either. It seems inarguable that it is better to have a guy committed to Texas at the start of the season than committed elsewhere - it's easier to hold onto guys than it is to flip them. I don't have any facts to back this up, but it also seems like NIL has reduced the amount of late season craziness. I don't know if they're signing contracts or it's just "a bird in the hand," but prospects feel like they're more locked into their commitments over the last few cycles.
  14. Regarding your first point - I mean relatively easy. You're absolutely correct that getting difference makers from the portal is expensive, but at least it's an option. Quality DL rarely go in the portal at all and the ones that do are usually already locked up. Getting good WR from the portal is expensive, while getting good DL is almost impossible. I'll admit that Mills looks good. I'm not worried about the OL as much as other rooms because Flood has a knack for development and knows what he wants in a recruit. If we're getting Floods OKGs then it's probably fine. Plus we have a lot of young talent in that room. I'm just curious about why the situation looks the way that it does, but others have shed some light on the subject. I'm still from Missouri on Williams. We'll see. Like I said, hard to be negative about landing a 5-star recruit but I'm willing to try. I'm not sure what you mean by "strawman" wrt to DT recruiting. People have been telling me for months that I'm pissing my pants over nothing. At any rate, I enjoy the discussion surrounding recruiting and to the extent that manufacturing a disagreement leads to that, whatever. I'm not losing sleep over it. And it's a slow day at work and I'm waiting on edits from a client. I got nothing to do but yell at clouds. I really appreciate you disagreeing with me. I sometimes worry that I'm being a fucking idiot, and having you on the other side of an argument helps dispel that sentiment.
  15. I'll make it as simple as I can because apparently I'm not explaining myself. That's on me. I want us to take a bunch of the money we're spending on WR recruiting on drop it in some DTs' laps. You should recruit all positions, but the staff seems to value WR to the detriment of other positions. The money, time, and attention we can lavish on recruits is a pie, and if we cut a bigger slice for one room then there's less pie left over for other rooms. DTs are fat and they like a lot of pie. We need to allocate more of it to their recruitments if we want to pull in the top prospects. So, to the extent the allocation of recruiting resources is a zero-sum game, I would rather us focus on DT more than WR. But that is not the same thing as saying "we should stop recruiting WR altogether" which would obviously be regarded.
