  1. William Cunningham was UT president from 1985-1992. He was a good president and he is a good guy, but he was awful for UT football. He wanted the most complying program possible, and he got it. Texas was 50-41 over those years, the 45th best win percentage in the nation. Texas went 4-4 against OU, 1-7 vs the Ags, 3-5 against Baylor, 4-4 vs UH, and 6-10 against every major conference non-conference opponent. William Cunningham hasn’t been president in over 30 years.
  2. No Caitlin and the Fever still get it done winning the Commissioner's Cup. Good stuff.
  3. Make sure you do the research on the specific requirements. This was my plan for UGA with my daughter, they did not approve that plan. “She” is going to buy a house, rent a couple rooms to her friends, she has a job with my firm where I pay her subject to GA state income tax, etc. They still would not qualify her. She has to be in the house for 12 months before they will consider the change and then she has to pay GA taxes (check), reside in GA during all school breaks (kind of hard for them to check realistically), commit to trying to remain in state post graduation (again, hard to check), and a few other things. I’m surprised they didn’t ask her to sign in blood.
  4. Rockies doing the wave. We might win this one by 15
  5. we better sweep this series this Yordan shit gutted my day. and thanks for the hopium earlier Dana!
  6. Island bound in the am. Will be solo until Friday afternoon when the wife comes out. First time just the two of us were alone aboard out there since we were borrowing my buddy's Catalina 36 (exact same year version and we did it 3-4 times- we were out there on 9/11). Hope we can rekindle some young lust. But 2 full days solo should be fun. Hope to also be posting in the fishing thread. That's gonna be my focus for the next 2 days.
  7. They are close to finishing the HEB off 1604 near Hills and Dales. It’s going to have one of those bbq spots in it
  8. Lol no they won’t. Only one school has ever been ass fucked by a governing body of college athletics and that was SMU. there is no point to go by letter of laws for any school considering the NCAA and everything else is powerless due to litigation
  9. What's hilarious is if they try to pass enforcement off to the conferences, which it appears is one of the strategies to avoid antitrust. Yes, the Big 10 and the SEC are going to bring the hammer to Ohio State and Georgia respectively. That's going to happen.
  10. When you say afraid, I'm not sure what you mean. The House settlement is absolutely designed to help cap NIL wages, particularly wages through collectives that weren't ever designed to be legitimate marketing NILs, but are pretty much poorly disguised pay for play. If they're disguised at all. I also think the settlement cap is doomed to fail, but that's absolutely the intent. And the party line right now is that schools are going to abide by that. There's not even accurate reporting going on about how much is being spent. Ohio State did not have a payroll of $20 million last year. But because Bjork said it as an offhand remark, that's what people have gone with as if he wrote it on stone tablets as he came down from Mt. Sinai. Then you have Bohls throwing out $35-40 million as the payroll for Texas this year, and every swinging dick is quoting "the Houston Chronicle says UT will pay its roster $35-40 million in 2025." Because that's how it works. It's not about the truth. It's about what you can put in print without getting in trouble.
  11. What was the in game update? I just heard the tail end of Blummer’s discussion. “Hand isn’t healing. No progress.” I think he’s had hand issues before. It feels like they’re going to have to put a plate in there or something drastic.
  12. Well, I feel like I said it would. We're going to stick to the cap - at least in the short term - but the idea that other college programs across the country were, is and was always ridiculous. That's not how markets work. That's not how human behavior works. You get a small cabal, sure. A small group can stick to their guns. But you get as many separate entities (with their own herd of wealthy cats to manage) as there are in college football, there's no chance they're able to stick to some kind of artificial ceiling on wages. Then it's the way it's always been. There's a bar in Buffalo, NY - or at least there used to be - called Breaking the Seal. They'd have happy hours where drinks were discounted right up to the time someone had to go to the bathroom. Not sure exactly how the rules worked. But of course once that first person goes, everyone goes. That's how this stuff is going to be. Once it's obvious that first program goes over the cap, a bunch of other schools are going to do it. Then we see how the enforcement works. Is there any punishment? How is guilt determined? How quickly is punishment administered? How painful is it? An example is going to have to be set. If no example is set in a somewhat timely period I hope as an institution we acknowledge that. There are all kinds of behaviors the administration turns a blind eye to because that's simply the price of doing business. I have confidence that's how it will be here. But again, it's now July 1. The House settlement just came down. We're halfway through the recruiting cycle. The ink isn't even dry on the settlement. There's a long ways to go. Jumping to conclusions because of a week of hard knocks on guys we never led on, with seemingly bad news to come for a few guys, is not the way to go, IMO. Let's see how it plays out at least through this recruiting cycle.
  13. Let’s wait until September before we have the surgery. Just because…..
  14. Threw hard, but couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn and never really liked his awe-shucks demeanor. Sure, in a perfect world I would have liked to see him after about 2 more years of getting Weiner’d, but I’m willing to bet we have at least 3 more “college-ready” arms coming with the incoming Freshman class.
  15. the whole closing industry is a shitshow. I was a manager of an escrow company. I didn't do escrows, I managed a fund control for construction lenders, but downstairs we had about 10 escrow officers doing closings and exchanges. There was somebody crying at her desk every fucking day.
  16. Ha. He will be back in 27 if we are lucky. The astros doctors are a chop shop. He will have a hook for a hand when he returns.
  17. Sarah when she's trying to look hot wins.
  18. I’ll play Top reason for optimism: Moving away from outside zone improves week-to-week consistency. We averaged less than 40 rushing yards in our losses last year. Top reason for pessimism: Interior guys are unproven in pass pro ability. The OL had two bad weeks in pass pro last year and it was mostly an issue of Cam Williams getting stunted on and our calls being figured out (UGA), and miscommunication/assignment issues (Vandy). As fans, we haven’t had to watch real interior pressure since 2022. I’m a bit worried about the Neto-Hutson-Campbell triumvirate there. Some of that is assignment soundness but there’s also reasons to doubt their (Neto especially) ability to hold up 1 on 1.
  19. Truly ironic the Big 10 loves to tout that, but has multiple doctors molesting athletes, the wonderful Penn State sage under Joe Pa, THE Ohio State's multiple issues, MIchigan cheating scandal, Illinois hired that fat hog and that is enough of an offense, and then we have the issues at Iowa with the S & C program with their annual rhabdo challenge, Nebraska on their history of marginal academic athletes, and they want to tout their academic prowess. Fuck the arrogant shits.
  20. I still don't understand this sky is falling bullshit. What "different rule book" are you talking about? (With regards to now, not back in the 80s) The different rule book that led us to retaining a roster that went to back to back semi finals? The different rule book that JUST signed and delivered a #1 class? Also, I'm laughing at the notion that you actually think Bag men can outspend Texas, regardless of whether or not we follow the rules. Bag men paid Cam Newton $180,000. That's chump change now, even within the lateral limits set by "the rules". You think Bag men are somehow going to all of a sudden come up with that amount for multiple players within a 25 man recruiting class? Or 10x that amount for today's 5 star? There are very few teams that I'm worried about matching/outspending Texas across an entire recruiting class or an entire roster regardless of bag man. And none of them are in the SEC.
  21. Texas continues to operate by a different rule book by everyone even in this era. We always have ever since the 80s. And for what reason? So some old fucks can feel morally superior why other programs continue to win national titles by cheating and pushing the rule books.
  22. I would hope that the genius GM at least has put together a top flight defensive team at the minimum because defense wins championships. maybe he really mean "interior" defense wins championships?
  23. How so? If Texas were operating like a pussy, wouldn't we have lost Hill/Simmons/Muhammad/Wingo/Moore/Guilbeau by now? Or are you under the impression that their NIL deals haven't been renegotiated each off-season?
