That worked out well for him in the long run. But of course advisors don’t give two shits about the long run I’m not sure his “advisors” are advising for shit. If they were, they’d have been telling his dumb ass not to put the majority of his NIL into shitty, gaudy jewelry. They also wouldn’t be telling him he can get $1M from some other school. 14 minutes ago, The_Great_Hornsby said: I may be late on this but I heard that Simmons was offered an obscene amount of money from Miami to leave Texas and he's gonna stay but we had to pay a lot more for him as a result.

December 26, 2025Dec 26 Love Wisner and his contributions but failing to upgrade after last season cost us this year. In the same vein as PK he exceeded expectations but the ceiling has been hit. Hope he can tear is up at a P4 school next year.

You and two million other imbeciles run around this world on a daily basis with “very close” sources connected to Texas athletics. It’s fucking nauseating. I’m not confirming or denying shit because I have no idea. I don’t waste people’s time texting or calling during the holidays to find out the latest NIL or personnel news and if I did, I’d then likely never wind up hearing a damned thing. People volunteering info like that are also almost always full of shit and don’t know a fucking thing. In the last two months at social gatherings and kid sport events, I’ve had at least 10 different people attempt to tell me some sort of scoop about Texas athletics and each one of them was either patently wrong or passing stuff off from the summer that was more stale than a crouton. Outside of one “connected” aggie, these were all boosters and some of them are lawyers who are actually friends with some of the big NIL drivers. Still wrong.

December 26, 2025Dec 26 The RB group finally getting upgraded is the biggest development in Sarks time here. After Brooks went down in 2023 the back ups fumbled twice in the semi vs Washington and last year we ran a sweep with below average speed against tOSU on the goal line, ultimately costing us that game. With a game breaker in those years Texas likely wins a championship or two the last couple of years.

I’ve heard several “Texas fans” in the last week talk about the bad year Arch had and that they wish Ewers were still here. I immediately knew those were casual fans who read more about the team on Facebook than actually watch the games. Yes, Arch started the year slowly. He was pretty damned good by mid-season. Maybe tune in and watch the games. Edited December 26, 2025Dec 26 by Tex Pete

I’ve found that being a borderline sociopath has actually benefitted me as a fan of CFB over the past 4 years. Seeing things develop for what they are and not being burdened with sentiment enabled me to find a path in the chaos that ultimately helped in all of the change. I do understand not liking the business and purely transactional aspects of it all. The thing everyone needs to either remind themselves of or realize is that there was a major transactional component before all of this, going on almost 20 years, and Texas and many other schools were being fucked because of it. The whole “having integrity and not being a shitty fucking cheater” thing kept routinely getting in the way. Once that’s framed right in one’s mind, it makes it all easier to swallow. I know you know this, but there are others who do not seem to grasp any of it.

Stepped up big time whenever needed and a proven Aggy and Sooner killer. However, $$ and guarantee to be #1 are hard to beat. Gotta wish the kid nothing but the best unless he ends up playing against us somewhere down the road. He ain't getting anywhere close to $1M from any team that has that type of money to pay it. He will find out what his worth is in the open market, and it's likely closer to $100K than $1M.
December 26, 2025Dec 26 No shock that Wisner is going to try to maximize his last year. probably a short-sighted venture long term unless someone gives him pretty stupid money. I also find it hard to believe Sark hire Juluke without something in the bag for this year.

December 26, 2025Dec 26 I don't think we used Wisner to his full potential this year. He was averaging 6 yards a carry against Georgia in the first half and we only gave it to him 6 times. He only got 3 carries in the 2nd half. Our running issues are more about refusing to run the ball, than not actually having the talent to do so. We will have a hard time retaining top flight running backs in the future if that doesn't change.
December 26, 2025Dec 26 What are the names we are going after? Appreciate Tre, out of all the backs, he was the only one to show some patience behind the LOS last season, big reason for our Ws against those 2 shit bag schools.
