  1. I watched every minute of this video and I hated every minute of this video. Nightmare fuel.
  2. I'm as big a Beatles fan as there is and even I know that it's the worst Christmas song ever written.
  3. Fans from other schools starting to realize what's happening with Texas NIL = Eli Sunday in There Will Be Blood. It's milkshake time.
  4. I think the difference is that bags can cover costs for a few players, while our NIL (and expanded opportunities as listed by SC) can cover costs for ALL players. We may miss out on a few for the reason you suggest, but I suspect that the discretionary nature of our NIL funds -- and the additional opportunities they will have in Austin to add to their NIL commitment -- we won't be behind on very many. Plus we will be the frontrunners for so many more players across the board that a few misses won't hurt much.
  5. Serious question from an admittedly obtuse poster. If the money that gets paid out is indeed private and discretionary, meaning that each year different players could be given different amounts, does that mean that the coaching staffs will be making payment decisions for every player every year? Seems like that would get really touchy, not to mention how much time will be taken by that work. Player X bickering about wanting 7K more, or $35K, or whatever...then shopping that number around to other schools. Just seems like it could get really unwieldy on an annual basis. Am I misunderstanding how this plays out in reality?
  6. This is exactly right, and the perfect way to go about it. Use our insanely deep pockets transparently and above board. No need to drop smaller handfuls of cash in a dark alley when we can legally transfer WAY more money electronically. "Game changer" is exactly right.
  7. I doubt it. His contract is tied to the salaries of the top coach salaries in the country. He's gonna get a big bump in salary just by staying at Bama.
  8. Glad I was bitching about Carr earlier, you're all welcome
  9. Brian Kelly to LSU and (possible) Brent Venables to ou don't scare me as much as some of the other alternatives that have been tossed around.
  10. Is Carr ever going to get his offense going? WTH
  11. Of course they are -- living in Southern Cal vs Oklahoma is a no brainer.
  12. Hope somebody gets the gif of the blonde screaming "Fuck Oklahoma" at the on field victory celebration
  13. You'll need to post more pics of your avatar to get an answer.
  14. Lowell is a twitter generation announcer. Talks all about stats and trends but does next to no actual play-by-play. If you were listening without watching you'd have absolutely no idea what was happening. It's like listening to a podcast. "So and so is averaging 10.2 on the season" or some such crap. Any attempt at play-by-play has him describing something that happened several seconds ago. Listening to Craig Way (or another competent "in the moment" announcer) calling basketball is so night and day from Lowell's lazy jabbering.
  15. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like Blanks. Plus he doesn't take any shit from Lowell, which is especially entertaining.
  16. Agreed -- I think our defense is making their offense resort to some bad threes.
  17. Fortunately Shaka Smart seems to be coaching the offense for CBU.
