  1. what the fuck does any of this have to do with Xavier Worthy?
  2. Fair. But I think he left because he was surrounded by a cult of out-of-touch weirdos with a grossly overinflated estimation of their place in the college athletics landscape, and being around Aggy every day made him miserable.
  3. I assumed his drop was related to his measurables. If Turntine is 6'3" and only 260 (on3) to 275 (247) that doesn't fit the "large humans" mold of what Flood usually wants. I assume the staff believes he's got the frame to add more weight, but he'd have to add A LOT of weight if his listed numbers are correct. Seems like an overcorrection, and I hope we are able to sign both him and Ojo.
  4. Also, it seems to be a down-ish year in Texas for truly elite talent. Both on3 and 247 have dropped Turntine in the 50s. On3 has only one Texas player in the top 32 - Ojo. 247 has three - Ojo, the QB committed to Houston, and Carlton. Last year on3 had 8 5-star players from Texas and 247 had 9. I know we're recruiting more nationally, but there aren't a lot of elite players in our backyard this year that might make for an easy 5-star commitment. I also know lots of shit is gonna change between now and December, and there will likely be some in-state kids that will rise. Still think Texas ends up with a top 5 class. But still, doesn't seem like this is a strong in-state class at this juncture.
  5. Sorry to be pedantic, but Wisconsin old fashioneds are completely different than what the rest of America believes is an old fashioned
  6. I can tell you that overalls are very popular with my wife's 40+ mom friend group. I think they're pretty silly.
  7. "Will Texas be willing to pay Bell whatever that team that comes in at the last minute to try to get him to flip?" Motherfucker, we are that team.
  8. There are concerns that Jahdae isn't tall enough to be a true cover corner in the NFL. Many teams see him only as a slot corner. His value is his flexibility and experience playing a different position every year in college - and excelling at each, improving year over year. But he doesn't have the frame of an ideal, classic shut-down cover corner. It may come back to bite teams that passed on him in the ass and he may be a perineal all-pro. But he's still valued enough to be a first round pick.
  9. I've seen Alfred Collins, Isiah Bond, Cam Williams, Andrew Mukuba and Quinn Ewers all in the second round in at least 1 mock draft that's come out since the combine. They all won't get drafted in the second, but any of them could. A Bleacher Report mock draft that came out today has Kelvin Banks falling out of the first round. Which I find shocking considering he measured 6'5" at the combine, seemingly putting to rest the concern that he's not tall enough to play LT. And they have like 5 guards going before him too, as though Banks couldn't slide down to guard and be dominant.
  10. Of course. But the "replacing a successful head coach who departs unexpectedly with a well-respected staff member to keep the team together" strategy doesn't work out too often. At least Terry made a deep tournament run as HC. Earley hasn't done shit.
  11. But you could just shut the fuck up and stop shitting on the thread. You can absolutely do that. But you have the self control of a fucking toddler. So you can't.
  12. Derka, shut the fuck up. Stop replying to every single post. You're fucking ruining this thread by making it about you.
  13. hold on to your butts
  14. The Earley experiment feels a whole lot like the Rodney Terry experiment. Also, isn't Earley a hitting coach? Why do they suck at hitting now?
  15. Tomatoes have their place. When in season and picked fresh from the garden, they're the star of a BLT. That being said, tomatoes have no place on a burger or a melt of any kind. All they do is make everything soggy.
  16. He’s the top player in the state on On3, both their internal ranking and on their composite. They have Turntine in the 50s
  17. Following up on the rib pricing discussion from last week, you can get a whole rack of spare ribs - uncut - from Moreno BBQ for $35. If you buy them by the pound they're $28/lb. So yeah, just get the whole damn rack for $7 more than one lb of ribs.
  18. Long live the Turbo T Man
  19. Chili cheese dog sando
  20. Let thee who is without sin cast the first stone...
  21. Help me understand. And I'm seriously not trying to be a dick here. I appreciate the work you and others on this board have done to make sure things are setup in a way that complies with current regulation. As I understand things from reading this site, the collective pays student athletes to do charitable work and/or make charitable appearances for the NIL they receive. Is that correct? And if so, do you think that the amount they receive for their charitable work is commiserate with what they're being paid? How do you calculate the value add to the charities? How many appearances do they have to make annually? What are they doing for the money they receive? Because this seems like a bag game loophole to me. A loophole I'm very happy exits. But a loophole nonetheless. There's a very good possibility that I'm not fully understanding the specifics of how NIL deals structured through the collective is incorrect. And if that's the case, then I think it would be helpful if someone outlines the quid pro quo of it all so that everyone on this site better understands the general structure of the relationship.
  22. And they wonder why everyone thinks they're so fucking weird...
  23. Probably not since calories come from the oil. I'm not aware of any non oil-based chili crisp. Tried looking that up and only came across one on amazon, but it was still 80 calories per tablespoon. If you're only looking for heat, then I'd just use a regular fermented hot sauce, which has almost zero calories.
  24. Because they can’t afford to live in Chicago.
