    Not strictly transfer related, but significant roster news 

  • This kind of shit from our fanbase wears me out. Sark took over a lost program and since we've been to 2 semis and should have been in the playoffs this year but for a committee that doesn't understan

Actually something about revenge and reckoning 

That was Doc Holliday's line.

I actually don’t hold grudges very well. I mostly bring it all up because it’s entertaining. The whole recruitment of that idiot and our collective dialogue on him around here, with your regular interjections, was great sport.

I don’t have a Harvdog voodoo doll that I poke holes in or something. On the list of posters I’d like to give a running kick to the nuts from this site, you’re not even on it.

He wanted that RB1 tag going into next season, it is what it is 

  • Popular Post

This sucks, but it’s CFB now. He has to do what’s best for him, Texas needs to do what’s best for them. He’s been a great longhorn. How many teams other starting backs would you have taken before him? Fla, Ga, Ark, Osu.
 

And maybe Sark is looking to get more physical. 

Didn’t have this on my bingo card ! But hope like Hell Sark got confirmation whoever we want is entering the portal

This always seemed like a delicate situation because he had to be our de-facto RB1 the last few years due to injuries and poor decision making outside his control. Now, heading into his senior year, we were going to ask him to, at minimum, be in a 1A/1B type role.

Money considerations aside, he probably wants more of a sure situation in his final year.

I don't blame him for wanting to be the starter, but it's also in Texas' best interest to upgrade the position. 

Do we get 2 rbs in the portal or just 1 and trust the young ones?

He graded out as one of the worst running backs in the SEC this year. That makes total sense. Hopefully he enjoys his 175k playing for a Big 12 team.

Logically the move makes sense for all parties, but man do I hate this current version of college football.

I HATE this version of CFB.   Wisner quickly became one of my favorites in the JWhitt mold.   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. 

Goddamn, we're going to be replacing everybody

You hate that average players who think they’re worth what great players get is ruining the sport? Interesting take. Business is business. 

Edited by BurntOrange&White

This is a bad decision for Weisner.  I love what he's done for us, but he has shown he can't bear up as the feature back.  Whole he knows the difference between injured and hurt, the nicks he picks up through the season limit his effectiveness.  He would have been better served staying at Texas then going elsewhere.   

Does this mean we have secured one of the top backs in the portal? Only thing I can think of that would make this any sort of a net positive. Tre was a big leader on the team, losing a lot of those players. Very very interesting. What pick do you have to be to make a million your rookie year in the nfl? It’s pretty damn high. 

Edited by RockyMountainHighHorn

I wonder if he is seeing what kind of portal offers he gets before declaring for the draft. He’ll be a late round pick but honestly don’t see him having a better year next year here.

Damn. That's some shitty news. I liked his heart and his grit. Not the best back we have ever had but he did show up big when we needed him against our rivals... we are now paper thin in the RB room. Hopefully we have some big targets that we are confident in getting.

aggy will pay him $1 million just to sit on the sidelines for the Texas game.

Or he saw what Michael Terry looked like as RB for the bowl game.

I don't know what the going rate is for RBs and I don't know how deep our pockets are. Must be way off the mark though because I'm sure the big money guys wanted to give him some love for the way he performed against our rivals. Sad

For some reason, I don’t think this is it. It’s either pure money or is tired of running behind a flood line for 3 yards and a cloud of dust or we got Baugh

I tend to agree with this... being a longhorn legend that killed the aggies and sooners would've been worth more to him through our alumni/donor networking opportunities long term than whatever 1 year pay day he might get from another school before he goes pro.

His advisors should remind him that’s exactly what happened to him his senior year in high school. That worked out well for him in the long run. 
 

But of course advisors don’t give two shits about the long run

Yeah well, welcome to the business of college football. 

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. We need a cap or some more controls on tampering and longer term commitments. 

Edited by The_Great_Hornsby

If another team is willing to pay him 1M to play next season then Wisner is making the best possible decision for himself, and I can’t be mad at that. I honestly wouldn’t blame him for leaving for 500k. I like the dude but we obviously needed to upgrade RB1. Any good running back can duplicate his efforts against Aggie and Ousucks.

I hear you, but I like the version of college football that allows Texas to flex its financial muscles and for players to be paid what they are worth (even if it’s less than what they think they are worth)

hate to see tre go.  he was an aggy and a sooner killer.

Yes, I hate all of that.

Wisner was a recruiting after-thought with negligible pro talents who stepped up in some of the most important games in recent memory and far outperformed anyone’s expectations.  In any other era of college football, he leaves this university as a folk legend and a symbol of the program’s turnaround.  Instead, he’ll end up as just another guy from this era whose post-career activities will feature a degree from a school not named Texas. 
And yes, business is business.  I understand why he is asking for more money just as much as I understand why we told him to kick rocks.  It just sucks.

Any Texas fan that says they don’t like this version of CFB has lost their mind. This version is the only reason we became relevant again. Our boosters and administration were not going to play the bag game. We were getting left behind.

Hard disagree. I think we should just play the front office game better than everyone else.

Michigan should be fun with our 2 headed monster if Simon and Clark

We like it when we buy players off another roster, we hate it when a beloved should-be backup leaves for more money 

We want it both ways.
