    That’s great.

    So what if Manning comes in when we get to the red zone and throws a pick six.

    Then what do you do?

    What if Manning comes in and immediately runs for a 70 yard touchdown and then does so on every single ensuing offensive play from scrimmage 

    Then what do you do?

    I know we're pitching revenue sharing as part of the deal.  To the tune of like $150K per player.  Now I don't know if that means all players on schollie, or what.

    Is this bankrolled by Wasserman? My understanding was that UCLA football (not basketball) was way behind on NIL. I know there was some change to the primary NIL entity so maybe some change associated with that.

    I’m not the first to say this, but I do think Clemson being the opponent instead of SMU will help with focus(ness). Our guys came of age when Clemson was a machine, and I do think that means something.

    Under the current team leadership, I'm not worried about this team overlooking anyone. May help a bit that it's ASU waiting on the other side too, but we've jumped out to a lead in virtually every game the past two years. I can't remember the last time that I thought the team looked flat because of the opponent (not counting games where they're obviously up for it and just shit the bed like OU/OU/UW/Georgia).

    2) Committing to Lacey over the dude from DFW wasn't ideal.

     

    This was the strangest thing to me from this cycle. Perhaps there was an issue with Arch starting two years, which would put this class as juniors by the time they'd see the field, but OTF made it sound like we could have had Keelon Russell if we'd pushed. I just have very little confidence that a 5'10 kid will ever be the starter at Texas (and I don't want to hear about Bryce Young). As it stands, we'll have Sr. Trey Owens, Jr. KJ Lacey and So. Dia Bell when Arch leaves, which is probably fine.

    SI is an athletic powerhouse by SF standards, they get athletes in even if they can't pay. That said, he's a UDub legacy, his parents are probably doing fine.

    Gerry said that a lot of his family played sports at UW and he wanted to stay closer to home. Unfortunate, but not much you can do if that's the reasoning (i.e., feels a lot better than getting NILed to death by Oregon).

  6. That's awesome stuff. Whittington and Bijan are the definition of legends, I will never forget what they did to turn this program around. It's evident in Baxter's mindset, but also in the amount of 50/50 plays we've made this year,  all the recovered fumbles, interceptions or just effort plays. Editing this because I think another indicator is Jaydon Blue. He's had the fumble issues, but he had all the makings of a high talent/bad attitude who ends up transferring to UTSA and has waited his turn and said and done all the right things publicly.

  7. Stutsman lurks past the line of scrimmage waiting for already tackled players to jump on and get a tackle assist. He's the worst nightmare for a ball carrier who is five yards down the field and already in the process of being tackled.

    This kid is smarter than all the posters on this thread combined. He knows how to push buttons and how to market himself, and knows how true the “there’s no such thing as bad press” mantra is. Everyone is talking about him now and he can leverage that for more NIL

    This is actually true because if you combine all the posters on this thread, Helobious' intelligence alone weighs the average down to a step above an insect.
