Yes, that's this thing people do when negotiating. They call it a "bidding war." We lost because we did not offer enough money, which has been my point all along.

Do we wet our pants now or later?

With any single one player yes but if all of your top offensive targets say no, yes it’s a loss.

Are the Baghdad Bobs gonna keep up the ‘everything is fine’ routine still or will they start to realize what’s going on? Here comes Js1 to call me a pussy…

You're declaring victory up by 10 in the first quarter.

Sark will start closing on guys after he finishes cleaning up PK’s mess.

At this point, Brandon Harris is Miles Davis…

Our conviction and resolve seems severely lacking. When tf did we become The Temu Joneses?

Likes Sarks offense in big games, he can't close worth a fuck.

Banks and Campbell fell into our laps. Worthy did as well. Whether you like him or not, sark recruits through the final bell. I’ll freak out at the end of the transfer period when it’s all said and done.

Still incredible he scapegoated PK for why his offenses are mid.

I'll ask again and if you answered, I apologize: Is there anything you like about Texas football?

Can’t wait to pull a total #Cigaretti move and find some real cornfed diamonds in the rough on the OL now. That’ll get the people jumpin

The Michigan OL’s have been talked about as a package deal right? So probably not good news with regards to Sprague either.

Michigan fan told me today they were hearing the OG was likely back and OT was probably gone

according to this guy, Sprague jumped in the portal and Texas offered 1.2-1.3 million. The guard heard and said “I want a bag too”, so he went in. Guessing this means Michigan at least came close to the Texas offer and he went back. No idea if this has much merit, but this is the story circling through the Michigan fan base

What are you guys complaining about? We didn’t want the Michigan OL anyway. That’s why we invited them to campus offered them scholarships and Sark flew out to speak with them today. We totally weren’t into them just leading them on while we work on our real OL targets. That’s how recruiting works right? You waste time and energy on players you have no interest in. So if we never wanted them it can’t be a miss.

I disagree. I'll never think that way about the portal.

this is how any corporation things about hiring, if you interview and make and offer and they say no its a 'loss'

I still think Flood is gone after the portal closes. It was too late to make a move and have any hope for a transfer, but he's obviously the main weak link on the offense.

Do we even have 5 OL on the roster right now?

Being partially sarcastic, but also realistic.

Wow dude nice joke very original and funny, hope you post here more!

So we whiff on our major targets the first weekend. Let's see how we do next time through the order. If we haven't landed anyone of consequence to fix our "glaring for months like Chernobyl" needs along the offensive line by the 7th inning stretch, it may be time to put in some pinch-hitters.

But not on offense

I feel like I haven't understood one thing we've done on the OL in the last calendar year.

I jokingly predicted a couple days ago that the most Flood thing ever would be to whiff on the G/C we actually need from Michigan but still land the completely unnecessary RT. Looks like that is happening.

edit: before someone starts being a dramatic pussy I would obviously be happy with Sprague. I would just be much happier with Baker again playing RT and actual proven guard for that money.

Missing is one thing. But when guys immediately make a beeline to campus after entering the portal, that generally means you're a heavy favorite and already close to working something out. Yet somehow these geniuses are fumbling left and right.

More importantly, it's insanity that they've had one OG visit (not counting Wyoming dude) especially with Kibble leaving.

Brandon Harris is a slapdick that only has a job because he will do whatever sark tells him. Sounds like our portal scouting department is well behind others. Oh, and we still have Kyle Flood who is obsessed with large humans that would struggle at the D3 level as our OLine coach. At least we got special teams covered…

I hope you’re right

Muschamp doing work and getting a veteran DB.

Sucks to lose out on the OL but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to Gerry and Bobby losing their shit on the chat room during the next stream.

Bobby Burton is saying there's another running back coming in later in the week that's not the Arizona State guy. Any ideas?

Maybe I missed it but are we going to target the tOSU wr that’s going in the portal? Sounds like some tOSU folks thought he’d get quite a bit of pt next year

I don’t know what that even means but if you think this is heading towards an ideal resolution than you’re ignoring all evidence.

So which one is it? nobody at Texas knows how the portal works, we don’t have the money to spend, or the Texas 9.95ers are to a person liars?

Little but of everything along with going after players at schools capable of paying up for them as well. We’ve only lost players who have stayed at their original school which is interesting.

So the OL transfers don't wanna go to a school where they don't know if the OL coach is gonna even be there next season. Makes sense.

seems like we're getting squeezed , this is like when your best employees move on to the big leagues and some steady or promising young worker comes and asks you for a mega raise to stick around for all the hard work they've been up to

The gall. Those mother fuckers.

Sark should probably stop introducing Flood to these guys as the former OL coach.

I do not think we are actively recruiting without an OL coach. Flood is here to stay.

Agreed - if Flood was going he’d already be gone.

Real answer? They come up with a solid plan and then completely ignore it every year because a star player catches their eye. It has happened repeatedly with us having done preemptive leg work with very good options only for it to go abandoned because they have one semi productive phone call with the agent of a star player usually not even in the portal. Then they try to redo their budget plans on the fly. Oh then some current player for us gets his offer doubled by a rival and we have to meet THAT need. Suddenly the pot shrinks and while we would still easily have the money to address every single need in a quick and effective manner... that would require giving up on the star fucking. Which Sark is basically never willing to do.

None of that means we won't end up with a wildly successful portal class but that pattern has played out three years in a row.
