  1. If the last 12 years has been "college football" then I, as a UT fan, welcome its death.
  2. The only realm in which players are going to be paid for their marketing value is hot women's sports athletes hocking diet pills and yoga pants on Instagram, and even that will be mostly BS. Taylor Swift, international megastar, got $26M to peddle Diet Coke for a two-year ad run. Beyonce got $50M from Pepsi for even more years. These are the hottest celebrity properties in existence. Ochuan Mathis isn't 1/26th of a Swift in terms of marketing power. He's not even 1/26,000th. Unless we're going to start legally requiring marketing deals to include strict comps to justify the amount spent or organize a salary cap, this shit is just the beginning and I'm loving every second of it. (And as for comparing the NIL deals to major league salaries... those salaries are only that low because of salary caps. Trevor Lawrence is making $9M/yr on his rookie deal. Without a cap add a 0 to the end of that.
  3. Two common ways to get the wallets to open up... 1 - Win 2 - Change coaches
  4. faking PTSD to get a free timeout that's a 15 yarder, Ms. Heard (video confirmation provided for hotness of psyche lady)
  5. Damn that recording of her saying "you Johnny Depp, a man, go tell people you're a victim of domestic violence and see who believes you" or somesuch is scary.
  6. As far as I know he hasn't commented about it publicly at all except for this court case. Might be wrong.
  7. Well... yeah. The question is whether or not he's a woman-beater, not whether or not he's clean and sober. Or even intelligent and quick-witted. If he can be charming on camera (which he can) without the stigma of being a guy who beats women, he's clear.
  8. It's a PR battle move and I think it'll work really well for him unless Heard has secret evidence of abuse. I mean, I'm ready to buy a ticket to the next Depp movie and I haven't given a shit about anything he's done in probably decades. I want Depp to get on the Marvel Super Hero actor drugs, do the Wolverine training regimen, and come back as an alternate-universe Iron Man or some dumb shit like that. Get super jacked, act stupid, and make $80M. Let's go.
  9. That wasn't dirty, it was just extremely awkward and unathletic. So... baseball.
  10. Fine by me. I like our chances in free agency every offseason.
  11. lol can we please, PLEASE just be left alone for one god damn offseason? PLEASE
  12. Kelvin Banks is an astonishing prospect. Every time I saw him live I was impressed with his athleticism, power, and attitude. He would systematically dominate the guys in front of him and, by the second half, he would have them on the ground and dance over them. A defense just demoralized by this guy who they can do nothing about; you could feel it in the stadium and see it on the opposing sideline. I don't think he'll walk onto campus and be our best player, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's our best tackle immediately (which might not be saying much... I watch more HS football than Longhorn football at this point honestly).
  13. Bingo, especially in the case of a coach following multiple dysfunctional coaching administrations in a program without a recent history of success.
  14. Aren't YOU guys going to feel foolish when we win the Big 12 next year!
