  3. To be fair, the US criminal law system basically asks the equivalent of a bunch of message board posters to determine the veracity of claims at the end of the day.
  4. Who is the "everyone" here? If I recall, the media narrative after the statement was that Hermann was getting another year. Maybe people who follow the program as much as those on Surly were pretty sure he was getting fired, but that was not the thought for the vast majority after the statement.
  5. If the Cotton Bowl is stormed, is it a tie? Do both teams get losses?
  6. As I think I am the previous poster being reference, I will be clear that I do not think it was UT that jumped the gun. I think Beard's actions (or lack thereof) and his lawyer's emails basically forced UT to fire him. Whether it was the right move for Beard (criminal lawyers will always mitigate any possible risk of conviction) probably depends on how much trouble he was really in. If there was a decent chance at a conviction, he definitely made the right move in throwing the UT job away. If, as it looks in hindsight, it was likely to lead to dropped charges, he probably made a mistake.
  7. His lawyers (while writing nasty letters to UT's lawyers) obviously told him not to say anything at all until the charges were dropped. Once they were dropped, he apologized, but by then it was way too late, especially given the letters between UT and his lawyers that had escalated. If they were afraid he was going to end up on trial, they probably gave him good advice, as the Texas job is not worth risking his freedom. If they were pretty sure the charges would eventually be dropped, it may have been a mistake.
  8. Texas beat LSU by more than any other team they have faced this year - including No. 1 Auburn, who beat them by 13 four days before our the Texas game.
  9. https://x.com/TaliaGoodmanWBB/status/1886829685776023660 UCLA out of the Chavez recruitment.
  10. It doesn't change the overall conclusion, but a 30 point loss to Florida where you only scored 41 points is a pretty bad loss, even if Florida is a good team.
  11. Daughter brought something home from preschool. Went to urgent care and tested positive for everything they tested for: Covid, Flu, and Strep. Not a good time.
  12. Did it settle yesterday, because as of the 17th, the parties were dealing with discovery disputes. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2025/01/non-management-university-of-oregon-staff-permitted-to-speak-with-lawyers-representing-athletes-in-federal-title-ix-lawsuit-judge-rules-school-seeking-pause-in-discovery.html?outputType=amp
  13. If the schools go through the process of itemizing everything and assigning NIL based entirely on non-athletics related items (like $10k for an appearance in a TV commercial, etc.), maybe it would not implicate Title 9. I'm skeptical that is how it is going to be done, but I could see such a situation being more like your example of hiring paid actors. Regardless of whatever the DOE says now or under the new administration, this will all get decided by the courts. Oregon is already being sued by a few female athletes and there will be a lot more if and when the House settlement is approved and schools start paying athletes.
  14. I mean, if the "NIL" is coming from the University, it is pretty clearly athletic financial assistance, so I see where the DOE is coming from. As for third party NIL, the statement is purposefully vague, but it seems pretty clear that they are talking about booster NIL, not real commercial NIL. Who knows what happens under the new administration, but I think this reading of Title IX is pretty reasonable, at least based on how it is been interpreted in the past.
  15. There is a ton of recency bias going around. If this game were right after the season ended, we may very well be favored, but tOSU has looked dominant in two games against what were considered top teams and Texas eeked out a win against ASU, so everyone things that will continue.
  16. Random Question - Does anyone know where/how to watch the Peach Bowl in Bogota, Colombia? I am in Colombia with the family and it appears that the ESPN App blocks me from watching anything here and most of the locals have not even heard of college football, so I doubt it will be showing many places.
  17. I doubt it. I think guys like Richard Justice, Kirk Bohls, etc. would be ready with articles every time Texas lost talking about how we fired a successful elite eight coach ... likely insinuating if not stating it was because of nefarious reasons.
  18. Is A&M looking to bring in 15 receivers?
