tf is I wanna marry Harry?

Gerry is sounding pessimistic about the Michigan OLs since they went to meet with Whittingham. He isn't saying he's heard anything, just that that often doesn't end well

Part of that was finally getting some home games after spending all of October on the road. Notice that as soon as we went back on the road to Athens our offense was M.I.A. again.

We moved the ball some. Wingo dropping it over and over and tripping over his feet repeatedly didnt help.

It's amazing how stupid some of you motherfuckers are being, including some generally good posters, whining about the fucking "all-in" bullshit. Since this is something that isn't perfectly obvious to all of you (I assume) grown adults, I'll spell it out for you. It doesn't take a fucking navigator the level of Magellan to realize that at some point after we got left out of the playoffs, Bobby and company spoke to staff members who said "We're all in on winning a title in 2026." Great soundbite, so Bobby and company used it. Letting PK go, while giving him his payout as a thanks out the door, and bringing in Will Muschamp to run the defense? Guess what got recycled? "This is just another sign that the staff is all in on Arch and 2026." Pretty normal shit.

995ers talk to sources and ask how we're going to approach the portal? "We going to be aggressive, we're going to be very aggressive." Now, hardly a stretch for a normal person who covers a sport to go with "Again, the Texas staff is going to go all-in the portal to build the best team." Does this mean that Texas is going to get everyone? No. Does it mean that Texas's own coaching staff and support staff aren't capable of being wrong, or royally fucking things up? No. Can they misjudge the market? You bet your ass. Does it mean other schools can't retain their star players? Nope, not at all. Does it mean Texas, over the past many years, hasn't reached agreements with players and then have them not enter the portal? Nope. That's all on the table.

But the fact that the people who have fucking latched onto the "Going All In" turn of phrase like a fucking dog with a bone as somehow illustrative of the 995ers failing at their jobs, or being idiots, or as any kind of mockery of them is fucking bizarre to me. They're basically repeating what coaches and sources told them, and honestly, I fully believe the staff thinks they ARE all in on 2026, and have every intention of doing their best. Now, whether they fuck it all up and fail, that's the question. But folks here should address their mockery and derision towards the football staff after the portal closes, not the 995ers (except the obvious buffoons and grifters). And I'll stress "after the portal closes" because we've seen a half dozen meltdowns at least in the last 3-4 years about high school and portal recruiting, hell, even the hiring of Sark's first DC, where shit was quiet and shitty for weeks/months and then lo and behold multiple rabbits get pulled out of hats, and we get PK, and we sign a half dozen portal DT's, and we close on Colin Simmons and Tyler Atkinson and Kade Phillips at the 11th hour.

I hate to break it to you, but seeing just how far the recruiting board regulars can finesse the English language to call out the deluge of dumbasses and dipshits around here is one of the few bright spots when actual recruiting news is scarce. Sydney’s thesaurus must be as well worn as his spellcheck key is unused.

Well that and they missed the part where going all in doesn't guarantee you win the current hand, let alone the whole competition.

All of this. All in does not mean you WILL get everyone. They have made an effort...tried to get those two RB's to portal out and they were talked into staying. They were first on Coleman.

Just because they haven't signed 10 guys already doesn't mean they aren't trying to go "all in"

Just now, UncleSonny said:

So we ran the ball well this season once Arch got out of his funk? We didn't. Offense was less shitty than it was but if we can't effectively run the ball then it's not a good offense.

Bobby actually was the one guy who predicted 9-3 including a loss to Florida. Gerry and the others all predicted 10-2.

Newp. Bobby had 10-2 with losses to OSU and UF (and massive improvement as the year went on with a win over UGA). Other OTF folks had 11-1.

Your take on Bobby is so fucking clueless it’s almost reads like parody. Bobby is a friend of the Texas program and if you ever met him and talked Texas football with him you would not have this opinion. And calling him the worst in a market that includes Ketchum and Nahlin is the hawtest takes of all time.

Bobby banned me from 247 for being too mean to Mack Brown

Glad that Sark is going to waste Arch's final season by not going all in this portal season. Hell for all we know Sark probably still thinks there is a spring portal.

Then maybe you should have said we still looked like shit in the running game. It would still be a chore to see you rehash the same talking points but at least it wouldn’t be wrong.

The offense finished 31th in the offensive SP+ rankings. Not good (and not close to good enough) but it was better than shit.

We fucking understand your stance on Sark at this point and most of it isn’t grounded in any reality.

9.95 report on shit at the time that they receive it. There's nothing wrong with what they are doing. But when dealing with high school and college aged kids, many of whom come from financially challenged homes, shit is fluid.

I would imagine when presented with life changing money, it's not just the kid's choice. His family (parents, uncles, etc) would definitely chime in. Some kids and families aren't thinking about what school/program will improve my NFL draft prospects. They are thinking about bills to pay and all the shit that they can buy right now.

See, part of the reason I don't pay for $9.95 sites any more is that some really low life scum are taking the money for those places, like Ketch.

But even in cases where you have good and capable people (e.g. Bobby and Gerry), the above is true. If they don't report on news as soon as they get it, then a competitor will, and the market doesn't punish them for being wrong.

If it did, this wouldn't remain the nature of the beast. Their subscribers are rewarding them for immediate gratification, not for in-depth accuracy. And nothing will get the subscriber base angrier than getting no news, or being told that further investigation is warranted or "too soon to know." That's why hints and information-free posts are standard throughout the whole $9.95 industry.

Related: I've got a lot of posters here on ignore, but I'm ignoring most of you the old-fashioned way. Y'all need to chill.

Only if you shorten it by like 70% because that is a lot of words.

Maybe they are “all in”, but finding out last season has made them less of a destination than they thought they were. Around here we know the offense improved as the season wore on (while the defense strangely regressed), but nationally the narrative was Arch sucks, Texas sucks, no O-line, let’s bury the Horns and that narrative may have stuck.

and that'll be $9.95 my good sir.

seriously though, anyone that hangs on the 9.95ers deserves what they get. all they can provide is short bursts of names and a general "we are talking to him" or "he may/will visit", which has some value if it isn't already out there.

I can't imagine a coaching staff not saying we are all in at this stage of the portal era, and continue saying it in the future, unless the rules of the game change, of course.
