you're actually a piece of work. a guy that happens to be smart with some connection and inside information on the reg. But the trade off for this board is you come in with an ego bigger than anyone here - your buddy sydney too - and y'all insult people more than anyone here, like a play ground bully from middle school. the "we are all assholes" schtick is funny ha ha, but you personify it in a way no one else here really does. it's remarkable really. if we were at a function together and you told me who you were, I'd walk away right then. Your behavior on this board at times is that bad. and the truth is, no one here is willing to stand up to you because your ctj, omg, ctj. fuck that. in fact, we got along just fine as my prior iteration and you know that. but you assumed I was a crowd sourced fuckstain and so you started coming at me. you're an egomaniac in a world with too many of them already.

I think it's clear the football board and somewhere else like OB are way more your speed.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I think Indiana is proof that it's not all about the money. That's cynical simplism. Many elements come into play. It's hard to watch Indiana and not want to go there even if you do make a little less money.

Well...were you?

It was the night of the rewards banquet when we found out Mack was coming back and Saban was staying. I used to be angrier back then

WTF is this shit...it's been like 4 days. Jesus man.

Forget it, Drew. It's BurntOrange&White

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.

You should just give up and use “ur” at this point

Grammar police on a message board is the best you got? Really. Why don’t you pull a rocko and claim paystub superiority while you’re at it.

This is the first time Texas is heavily invested in getting a lot of portal players. They are clearly all in with the number of kids who have visited so far.

Buying a plane ticket and some rubbers doesn’t mean you are all in. It takes a little more than that.

I'd say he's not going to atm with their change in tone.

I’d say yes but can’t see anyone like Cig going to bama until they can compete top 5 in $$$ and I don’t care enough to know if that’s true but from all the comings and goings it doesn’t seem like they do.

Agreed. Indiana now offers all the advantages that Alabama used to in the age of the portal and NIL. Indiana also has more booster money committed and much lower (at least historical) expectations. The dude has it made there.

I’ll be very interested to see where he’s drafted because he checked a lot of the Kyle Flood boxes, wasn’t prioritized by Texas, and was presumed by pretty much everyone here to be wildly overrated at the time of his commitment.

Obviously anyone voluntarily going to A&M, particularly a non-Legacy unsteeped in their weird rituals is of questionable character, so maybe he wasn’t a personality fit…

Damon Wilson from Mizzou in the portal. 9 sacks this year. He's the guy UGA is suing.

When is the portal closing? I'll check back when the dust has settled and we've settled on our 3rd and 4th choices.

Nothing is sane when young men and $$$ is involved.

This is how he sounds when he has no fucking clue. Seen it in recruiting then all of a sudden kid commits to aggy and he tells the mass he knew but couldn’t let cat out of bag like the Texas guys do ruining moments.

FWIW - This morning Bobby confirmed what CTJ told us the other day - Texas got the Wyoming OL on campus and decided his actual body didn’t match his listing.

I don’t play poker. Even I know you can go all-in and still lose. People are dumb.

That went from he is signing the contract with A&M to Texas insiders are confident but nobody knows anything really fast. LOL

Going All-In is actually the only way to completely lose.

I mean to be fair, their mods never said he was signing anything. That was random posters claiming to have insider info

Yes. At this point, why change (from Cignetti’s POV), but when DeBoer was hired in 2024 at Bama, it should have been Cig instead when he was hired from JMU.

I cannot speak for everyone here on who to put on ignore but my rule is I only put obvious trolls on ignore. If you have a really shitty take I actually want to read it and debate it. You are upset because Bobby told you Texas was going to be meaningfully better than 10-3? I actually listened to most offseason podcasts from OTF and IT and I do not recall anyone predicting undefeated or anyone better than 10-2. So they missed it by one loss, effectively. What is your specific complaint about what was told to you about the offseason? I actually thought they did a reasonable job of discussing our relative strengths and weaknesses. It wasn’t just non stop sunshine pumping.

As for the transfer portal how can you make any conclusions until the process is over?

It's already been discussed to death, but I couldn't agree more. I like Bobby, Gerry, and the guys at OTF, but I don't take their word as gospel and they usually don't either. They hedge plenty, but people hear what they want to hear and ignore the rest. I also agree with @SydneyCarton rant - why are people so hung up on the semantics of whatever phrase people use? If they had used some phrase other than "going all in" would the complainers be happier? What exact language did you want? I have to assume that lot of the more vocal whiners on this thread have not been following Texas recruiting very long, or at least not recruiting from the portal, and don't realize how fluid things are.

OTF has earned their credibility, but the thing is still unpredictable. It is what it is, they can't change that. They're going to get things wrong, and you can't lose your fucking mind every time they do. Especially if them being "wrong" relates more to the words they used than actual facts.

That person invited me to ignore them. I obliged. I have no need to unignore them even if they're going on unhinged and nonsensical rants about me. Y'all don't need to repost them either. I am sure something will come along very soon to capture our interest and entertain us in a different direction for this thread.

Other than the the two Michigan guys, it sounds like we haven't set up visits with any OL, which is mind boggling to me (maybe it shouldn't be with Flood at this point). RB/WR don't matter that much unless OL is massively upgraded, which was obvious last year.

Edit; sounds like we noped out on the wyoming dude after a visit.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Can our coaching staff not reasonably approximate a guys size when watching film? Was he CGIed in Wyoming games this year?

I can relate. In the mid 90s, after a night out on a bachelor party in Austin, my really drunk buddy called an escort service he found in the yellow pages. He requested 2 blondes. 30 mins later, a brunette and a redhead repeatedly knock on his hotel room door. He won't answer. I'm in the room across and watch the comedy through my peephole. I get out and try to help out the ladies by knocking on the door. From the other side of the door, we hear him yelling at a dude on the phone.

"Are you color blind because these bitches at my door are not blonde."

The 2 ladies proceed to leave after another 5 mins of not opening the door. Then they ask me if I want some fun.

I reply, "Who do you think the 2nd blonde was for?"

They get pissed and leave.

This is what I'm saying. How the hell have they not even brought anyone else? (ignoring the guy they immediately dismissed for size)

Similarly, on their livestream just now, Gerry just said Texas won't make moves on Tre Richardson or other WRs until they get the Cam Coleman decision. Isn't that kinda stupid? The best alternatives might be gone by then..

Edited by Tex-19

I don't mind Bobby and Gerry reporting what they're hearing, even if stuff changes along the way. That's the nature of the beast. There are 3 super annoying things they do that if they quit would make them 152% better:

1) Stop getting defensive, just laugh it off and say "hey this isn't science here it's called prognostication for a reason." Being defensive just looks insecure.

2) Stop with the "well, Baugh/Brown/whoever haven't entered the portal yet, so there's nothing Texas can do until they do..." That insults our intelligence. We know Texas is talking to them if not directly then through agents/intermediaries, as is every other team in the world. Same with players who entered the portal with do not contact.

3) Stop with the "I know a thing here but I'm not going to reveal anything about the super-important thing I know." First, this reeks of hedging and ass covering for later. Second, it's just pumping yourself, self-congratulating, and lording information over others. But most importantly, it's useless info for the audience. At a minimum change it to "I know a thing about the [position] or [coach] and will reveal it to you at X time or under Y condition."
