You in the livestock business? I thought you were in hydraulics.

I grew up in the country working on ranches, never been in hydraulic business. Steel manufacturing business, yes.

I guess Sark over estimated his whole "culture" thing. I guess culture is awesome until players start comparing paychecks.

This is not uncommon in my industry. There are some great culture places - good people, good products, etc. Pay and RSU offerings are attractive and competitive. However, there are a few firms that pay a lot more and use their inflated stock to money whip.

Hard to convince a person on their mid-30s that culture will beat the massive comp. 3x RSU grant can ameliorate crappy culture - for a few years.

As noted, the difference between $1.5mm and $1.0mm is significant. If the guy took $100k of that and dropped it in VTI, historical returns would provide him around $1.7mm when he's 50. Or he could buy a sportscar.

That Oregon St lineman seemed to really enjoy his Tennessee visit. Looks like an uphill climb to win him over.

Apparently Washington QB Demond Williams is attempting to enter the portal against the advice of his agency, who just dropped him.

Williams wasn't listening to his agency anyway. He was (metaphorically) seduced by a different 2009086046554952115.webpstreet agent.

What the hell? This seems like a terrible move.

He’s always said he went to one of RG3’s camps in high school and has been a friend ever since. His dad also played at Baylor. It’s a good move.

I seem to recall a quote from a rancher who won the lottery years ago when asked what he was going to do with all that money. His response…”I guess I’ll just keep on ranching until it runs out”.

In theory bama hired the wrong guy when looking at Cig vs DeBoer, but DeBoer was a can’t miss. Bama is screwed in the long run even if they hired the right guy. They are running on saban fumes and DeBoer is proof all coaches are meathead idiots, because Bama has sky high expectations and can only compete when paying players is illegal and the bag game is $50,000. The descent is happening in real time and it’s going to ruin DeBoer’s reputation and resume.

I'm gonna guess that Cignetti probably wanted nothing to do with Alabama.

It seems IU was a calculated choice to step up to a relatively low pressure P4 school but with potential for "adequate financing."

His post Alabama career seems quite calculated.

Not enough to shut it down and commit, which is all that matters for now.

Yep. And bump up their pay if you think they're ready to contribute.

Bro, our mascot is a cow. Not a fucking pig or some asshole that signed up to be blown apart by muskets defending the dream that his ancestors should one day be able to own other humans as property. Don't overthink this

Not overthinking. It's not a super hot take to think that the kid who chose to go to the ag school in Corvallis, OR and aspires to live miles from his nearest neighbor might not fuck with the big city vibe in Austin when compared to other options. Just an observation. Like I said, I'm speculating and there are obviously other factors at play. We'll know soon enough.

This shit is going to be fucking wild. And of course Lane Kiffin is involved. I think this kid is probably going to be proper fucked, particularly if his NIL deal came from the athletic department funds. Which I'm guessing it did, hence the Big 10 contract.

It's fascinating to watch pay out. I think Williams may have really fucked himself. Or, conversely, if it plays out in a way that shows UW/B1Ghave essentially no recourse even with their supposedly beefed up contracts, maybe this is the case that leads to structural change.

I’m glad there are posters in here offering their personal experience in their career fields to let us know that people like money and will often choose to make more of it when given the chance. I had no idea.

We need to get with the times Kids love the three P’s.

Pizza, Pool parties and Plundering!

This Cordell fella is just out here fucking these dudes futures. Not sure if Nico or Demond have NFL talent but NFL teams are not likely to want any part of that.

Who is yall's pick to replace Harris?

Cant understand how he survives the chaos of this portal period. This ass retarded conversation with Barnes and only lining up 3 guys at OL in the pre-portal period is asinine

You could hire a GA who could do better than that

Harris is a comfort hire for Sark, so I’d guess he keeps the job until he makes Sark sufficiently uncomfortable.

He’s going to cost a lot more than Zina.

Nice to see that 24 hour break really calmed your nerves and improved your outlook.

Still a long time to go w/ the window but anyone who expected that we would go O-for in our Oline portal efforts and have some of the younger talent hitting or thinking of hitting the portal is lying. Can Harris and Sark get out of their own way? There's no other choice, right?

Holy Schnikeys, how did this get by me? I had no idea my old teammate Jack and his wife Amy had a lovely daughter that played volleyball for us! And apparently she married an OL just like her dad was. Cool.

Zina is better than the OkSt spare. He had 4 sacks sure, but only 1 came against anyone with a pulse. 3 of his 4 sacks on the year came against T-Martin...big fucking deal.

Ffucking Ffrench too?

Should we ring up Kai Money and ask if he has any eligibility left?

What the hell CDC you need to get in there and help this lost bastard out. Sark needs a war time Consigliere.

I’m curious what the donors who contributed to get these guys on campus out of high school feel about watching them all just walk away. It’s wild.

Also his Oregon State bio says he's an ag major, enjoys hiking, camping, and fishing, and wants to be a cattle rancher after football. Something tells me Austin's not a great fit.

Tom Cruise What GIF

Other than maybe the 35 corridor, it's virtually impossible to drive 60 miles in any direction of Austin and not pass a ranch.

Feels like this is where the unsustainability of the entire model is going to break unless you have a Cody Campbell type benefactor.

I always think of Troy Aikman's quote regarding this:

"I gave money to a kid, I won't mention who," Aikman said. "I've done it one time at UCLA, never met the young man. He was there a year, he left after the year. I wrote a sizable check, and he went to another school. I didn't even get so much as a thank you note. So, it's one of those deals, to where I'm done with NIL. I want to see UCLA be successful, but I'm done with it."

We're not even in their conference anymore, and we're still their boogeyman. Nevermind Texas didn't invent the fucking portal, and plenty of other folks pay for NIL. Losers.

For what it's worth, the staff had already labeled Ffrench as an evaluation bust, and a bad investment. This is likely them happily cutting bait. No one should cry over this one.
