  • Enough bitching, enough sitting on the sidelines, CDC isn't doing fucking dick but we can! Introducing Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program. This is how we make a difference, if we can get enough interest and hit the numbers that we forecasted, that is a huge step towards getting at least one position group taken care of (possibly two pending interest and people actually putting their money where their mouths are) with the hopes that others will follow with other less appreciated position groups. Bijan, Card, even guys like Jamison and Overshown won't have issues getting paid when the NIL is fully rolled out (hopefully fucking soon, looking at you @closetojumping)or when CDC gets his head pulled out of his ass (Doubtful, fucking moron).

    Next Steps, I gauge interest through this article and see what the financials actually look like (You won't be charged dick till this shit actually gets rolled out), we get a liaison in the TE room to help facilitate scheduling, we get this bitch through compliance (Don't think this should be an issue but....), then we start to roll it out to the TEs! All the profit is going directly to the TEs, and the website will be handling the money (No Ketch bullshit). We will mail everyone's Cups and stickers and shit once things have been rolling. We will need some help designing a logo (paging @TreatyOak). This is a great opportunity for us to have some fun with the NIL, get some kids some cash legally and above board, help improve TE recruiting and keep talented TEs on the team and out of the portal. If you have any suggestions, questions or grievances shoot me and @immamac a DM. This is how we help!

    You’d think. I would be interested in hearing why the people that signed up for the $10 chose that instead of $25 and what would change their mind to up the tier. Extra swag?

    For the people (myself not included since I’m poor) that want to drop like $10k could you consider something like an autographed Football from all the tight ends? Seems “market value” to me.

    I actually think autographed shit doesn’t have to be passed through compliance. I’ll ask but we could absolutely create a merchandise marketplace thing I bet. Would have to be individual though

    Snap! That is kind of like at the watermelon thump where you bid for a kid's watermelon but it is really to fund the FFA scholly fund. Some melons went for $2000 to $5000.

    Could we do an auction for the most productive TE of the group? That kid, by his performance metrics wins the right to have his jersey auctioned and takes a bigger cut of that bidding or all of that proceeds.  And some lucky sob gets the autographed jersey to frame for their wall. That would be  fucking sweet. Someday, that kid will be NFL bound and that asshole has his Horns jersey. Or the kid will win best TE in college award and will be at an event to snap a pic with us in a  burnt fucking ends tshirt holding that trophy.

    I don’t think we will be able to use jerseys and other stuff related to the team. So just a generic Nike football is most likely best case scenario. But yeah it’s like those 4h auctions at the county fairs. People bidding 10-11k over the value of the item because it’s value is based on the purchaser and what they deem it worth.  Would be an excellent skirt around the law and our compliance.

    Autographs do not have to pass compliance.

    None of the compensation can be Performance Based. So no “most productive” anything. No money for TDs. Nothing like that. Name, Image, and Like was only.

    Not through burnt ends. But if this happens at the dinner after their appearance is satisfied who's to say that isn't just a convenient circumstance for memorabilia to be signed.

    You should make a BIG visible Burnt Ends donate button link and put it permanently at the top of Surly. Alcohol + Football will make people either joyfully donate or rage donate during Football games. (I’m mainly referencing myself) 

    Edit: just saw new page. Perfect. But maybe add a donate whatever amount you like button?

    Sell raffle tickets for, say, $25 each. Then, have a drawing for autographed memorabilia or whatever. Only 1 prize per person. If somebody wants to drop $10k on raffle tickets to make sure they win a prize, who's going to complain?

    As long as it’s passed through EQUALLY to the entire TE room. Otherwise I’d recommend memorabilia be signed individually and given to  individual players.

    I’ve got one kid at UT and one at Trinity. On kind of a tight budget now. I joined the $10 club but would probably buy a shirt or cup if that was an option and could help raise funds.

    You would think so based on the Goldilocks rule, however, when I used to work on pricing I learned that unless you feature gate the hell out of the low end option it is going to be the most popular choice. We also found that the most expensive option was the second best performing because people with the means will default to that option because it's perceived to be the best. The middle option was always the worst performing slot by a fairly large margin.

    I suggest as this grows to make the 10 dollar tier either position or sport specific and roll out a 50 and 100 option that give access to another position group or sport like volleyball or pom.

    • Figured it was time to take a look at why we are struggling running vs Georgia. There are many reasons. Sometimes we just aren't physical enough and don't block through the whistle. We turn guys loose too early allowing them to get back in the play. Sometimes the bunch sets don't help as they bring too many defenders close to the ball that wouldn't otherwise be there. However, most of the time it's just simply players losing 1v1 battles or just missing their assignment not Georgia stacking the box to take away the run like SOME posters like to believe.

       

      Below we are running our signature OZ. GEORGIA IS IN NICKEL DESPITE US HAVING TWO TIGHT ENDS ON THE FIELD(12 personnel). This is where Sarkisian's stubbornness is bare ass naked for all to see. We should spread Georgia out an run on them like other teams do. But no we make the distance shorter for them to get to the LOZ. Some of you have heard me say you cannot beat Georgia by playing in a phone booth. This play is an example of that. At the snap Juan Davis(81) come across the formation to cut off backside pursuit freeing Helm up to climb to the backside LB. The line is dancing to left. Majors climbs to the second level to find work. That would make for a nice hole but Conner gets whipped immediately and Wisner has to move on. The edge would've looked pretty good but Golden runs right past the nickel. Wisner sees it, cuts it up, and just tries to get what he can.

      “Culture + Talent = Dangerous” 

      This school has always had the talent part down. Anyone who’s ever been to Austin understands why talented people kind of naturally want to be here. But now that we have a culture to match it, I mean, that’s just really, really bad news for every other team in the nation. 

      We are back to where we belong. Playing for all the marbles. 

      The Blueprint is there. 

      Now it’s time to execute. 

      Go out there and get one for your brother.
