  1. With the internet, (at least mostly) legal payment for even unofficial visits, and other changes, there seems to be an increasingly open market for talent to shop schools and for schools to shop for talent. What better way to lower yourself in the eyes of all the elite talent that is clearly considering Texas and is obviously not stupid enough to go full land-thief retard than by making this the public face of and the recruiting visit picture ask of your program? EDIT: the more schools that do this the better for us, IMO. It basically says that Texas is the standard that they bother to hate. It's like saying, "I'm a good enough and smart enough to beat that jerk Saban, doggone it-- play for me!"
  2. Fanrunradio and its crack team of journalists, litigators, and athletic department insiders can not be so easily dismissed, sir.
  3. Top 4 should definitely include at least Nobis, Street, Earl, Ricky, Vince, and anyone who ever started at DB with a massive osteosarcoma of the femur. For starters.
  4. The lion juggernuts have been a bit salty lately.
  5. Our stories in a nutshell. All Gas here, Tank King there.
  6. Texas is undefeated in the state of Ohio
  7. Counterpoint: when was the last time an ag successfully posed any threat to anyone who was not standing under a poorly designed stack of logs?
  8. Famous people thread hits close to home. Once saw Alan Alda on TV.
  9. Along with posters' number of posts and rep total, there ought to be a display of the number of people who have a given poster on ignore.
  10. Amazon, translate into English: "I appreciate Mike's work in taking a holistic view of what changes need to be made so that we have a baseball program that meets our high standards." Sure, boss. I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. Here is that translation from EATME into English: "I was authorized to offer the baseball job to any of three candidates, and they all said no. I have not been fired yet for my own failures. Someone will let you know if I am fired or if I am authorized to pick any other new baseball coach."
  11. Which, combined with the 2025 first-round data above would suggest an inverse influence relationship between quality (as measured by proximity to the first pick in the draft) and propensity to play close to home. Call me crazy, but I would rather let the ags have the locals who "just get them" while we build a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.
  12. Arguing that further data feels to one as though it would, if gathered, refute existing data is one way to support one's argument, I suppose.
  13. It cracks me up when bootstrappers and coattail-riders who were all too happy to ditch the border conference swell with indignation at our leaving them in the conference(s) into which they begged/extorted us to get them admission.
  14. A badass who isn't afraid will go a long way.
  15. Reminds me of the tragedy of Bob the bridge builder.
  16. Bag game gonna bag game Makes me glad Texas does it the way it does
  17. Jimbo only 2 slots above Patterson? No justice, no peace!
  18. It is only fair that those who have freeloaded their college education at institutions that would not otherwise have accepted them, let alone given them scholarships, continue to receive largesse granted by the hand of power brokers from the actual pockets of young men who work their asses off to excel at sports that actually generate revenue. Comrade Lenin would shake your hand, comrade Campbell, if he were but alive in the flesh. Or, maybe, and I am just spitballing here, we should not use willingness and ability to play woman's soccer as our criterion for to whom we should allocate our post-secondary educational resources, nor to whom we should allocate the fruits of football players' labor and fame.
  19. That seems like the 3 seed would be better than 1/2. Too much time off, miss out on extra home game for fans and non-ticket revenue.
  20. This. He essentially admits it in his denial, merely claiming that he brought it to an end. Well, one must remember that different languages treat double negatives differently. Take Spanish for example. In Sharp's defense, we may not be familiar with the intricacies of EATME (East Anglo-Texan Moronic English, also known more succinctly as Anglo-Texan Moron or ATM).
  21. Should make the rule that the QB can't advance the ball unless a defender first rushes him across the LOS or the QB counts 5 Mississippi out loud. Neighborhood ball rule.
  22. <MBTF> "I'll take this one. Let's Raff at BYU."
  23. Leg surgery. Could have been a PE as well. 🤷‍♂️
