2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk


Recommended Posts

It's been repeated here several times by people in the know that a small handful of medium donors are carrying most of the NIL weight for us right now and they are close to being tapped out. Apparently TOF is not where it needs to be yet, either.

I assume aggy is in a similar position, probably even worse since they just had to pass the hat to buy out Jimbo. Where the fuck are they getting the money to re-up a guy like Nolen?

You're assuming aggy is making rational rather than emotional decisions.  You're asking the question assuming they're not blowing way more than they can afford to re-up him, and that they won't pay the price by not having enough for other needs.

If you assume that they'd spend whatever they have to spend in order not to be mocked for losing him, it starts to make more sense.

So we may not get any bangers??

If you give Nolen a raise after entering the portal, you're just encouraging more of your players to enter.  That's how you get more money, by scaring the money guys. 

But they aren’t getting paid a dime….

Bobby said this AM that Texas has been in contact with a WR who hasn't been linked to Texas yet (not Burks or Wells).  They're also looking for a "disruptor" on D.

 

Excellent reporting by bobby there.  Every team playing football wants this.

oh, and since it was discussed earlier on this thread, here is clarification:

 

feel free to shoot the messenger on that one

The sad part is he actually already missed one full half (minus 10 seconds).  Seems like you get a harsher sentence if you do it early in the half vs late.  Targeting 10 seconds before the end of the game, gives you first half of next game.  Targeting 10 seconds into the half gets you the entire second half plus another one.  They should go by a rolling 30 mins.  In this case he would only miss 10 seconds of the next game.
