    The kids don’t care. Saban probably not too happy with his name in Jimbos mouth during that breakdown, though. 
     

    Too much emphasis on the number ranking. The #5 class is as close to the #13 as it is #1. There’s 1-3 then everybody else this year. 

    We heard you the first 10 times Chin Pubes.

    in order, i would say:

    1. jimbo fisher: the guy has been known as one of the best recruiters in college football his entire career and i think finished top 3-5 every year at florida state. he learned good lessons from saban and bowden here. he's also assembled a staff of pretty great recruiters both on and off field. 

    2. the weird region: ou's coach left. lsu's coach left. texas stumbled through season one of a new staff on the field. that's a historically bizarre anomaly that allowed a&m to take advantage of:

    3. the absurd amount of talent in state: this class just happened to be one of those cycles that had a ton of talent, and a lot of it happened to be in houston where there was a bit of a domino effect. 

    4. we're paying: but really no more than anyone else, as much as the websites want to give us credit for directing strategic oil reserves to various churches. 

    should be entertaining. 

    You responded to this bait!  Why wouldn't you simply ignore the post and let the board ADHD pivot to wingspans, lacrosse, CFS, or any of a number of other unrelated topics?  Having said that, thank you...it has made my afternoon reading on Surly more enjoyable.

    the fanfic on this is reaching some truly awesome levels. the reality is we paid every single member of the signing class $25-$30 million each - and that was just to visit. 

    I would be interested to hear in your words how this historic class was achieved with details of the messaging/methods used.

  4. This is probably something for the unpopular opinion thread but OU has been a good partner and relatively honorable in their dealings during the 25 years we’ve shared a conference with them, and although they are certainly historically a dirty program I think they’ve reformed themselves and are probably the best team not blatantly cheating on a massive scale over the course of the last decade. 
    I’d say Texas could make that clam for the previous decade. 
    Fuck OU. 

    This is fair…but, they have no issues keeping rapists and criminals on the roster. I’m actually not sure which is worse now that you have presented your case.

  5. Well, now that's the problem isn't it. There were dirty, got clean, and now need to get dirty again.
    You would know this if you were paying attention, which I assume your are and that is just a shtick. If not. bless your heart and all that. 

    I’ve had your back here before brother, and this is the hill you choose to die on?
  6. FWIW - Nahlin just put out an article advocating for the need for a 'GM' to handle a lot of the non-coaching responsibilities.  Ketch did a video last night speculating about a GM position and how that might be a fit for Patterson.
    Smoke around GP joining Texas as a GM who reports to the AD?

    First, fuck that fat POS Ketch. Next, GP in a GM role sounds really interesting. Lastly, I don’t have anything else to say.

  7. I frequently feel differently about organizations after I've joined them, sometimes better and sometimes worse. So by the time you really learn about the company you keep, you're already tainted by the association.

    Hey man, you do you. Just count me in as someone who has no interest in breaking into prison. I appreciate your contribution to the board - not that I agree 100% of the time, but who says I bat 1,000.
