  1. Financial and operational mismanagement? He should have applied to Ohio State, I hear they love that type.
  2. Grad assistant and high school assistant is good, NFL assistant isn't good. Got it. This is one of the dumbest posts in this forum in the last week and that's saying A LOT.
  3. As someone who used to design his own very basic web pages to display ratings pages, I'm already triggered.
  4. He gave lip service to Saban being allowed say in everything and always being welcome so I was wondering if this is ego and his way of trying to show that "when I win here it will be my success not Saban's" or something ridiculous like that.
  5. This is outstanding. I'm not sure which of the 3 references most clearly reveals you're old and it had to be intentional.
  6. For decades the cheaters would constantly claim "Texas pays players just like everyone else." Don't get me wrong, I was vocal about how Texas didn't handle it correctly. They should have either joined the cheaters or turned them in. The tactic of not cheating or turning them in but just whining about it to boosters while not letting them pay players was nauseating. But still, the cheaters would always have the same retort when Texas fans pointed out how they were outrecruiting Texas. "You're just jealous, Texas pays players just like everyone else." Oh really? Now that Texas affiliated interests are actually paying players because it's legal (along with a splash of winning), how's that working out for y'all? Fuck 'em all.
  7. LSU has 9 active NFL defensive backs. Texas has 8. Not quite the situation you're implying.
  8. Well at least I'm pretty sure Terry wouldn't survive that finish. Regressing and missing the tournament is one thing. Going 4-14 in conference off last season is quite another. Right? Please?
  9. Oh they definitely paid illegally for decades, but now that there are legal ways to earn money their bags look a lot smaller.
  10. It's definitely mostly the above. As others have pointed out, Alabama was getting a significant discount because of Saban's track record, players are not giving them that discount anymore. Deboer may be a good coach but he obviously does not have nearly Saban's track record or reputation. Not to mention he apparently is not the biggest fan of recruiting and keeping players right now is a matter of salesmanship and recruiting dozens of guys that you don't even know. A non-natural recruiter can land good classes with hard work and relationship building if he's not good at selling. But in this situation you have to be a salesman because you don't have the relationships. Apparently he either doesn't care for it or isn't great at it, or both.
  11. It wasn't "think of the children," it was the fact that these are adults whose freedom of movement was being illegally and nonsensically restricted. That was at roughly the same time everyone realized these are adults whose freedom to earn income was being illegally and nonsensically restricted. Are you a coach who makes money? You can move somewhere else as often as you like. Are you a regular student? You can, too. Oh you play sports? No, you're stuck. The system used to treat them like children. Now they have the same freedoms as other adults. Sucks to suck if you're not a very desirable destination.
  12. Perhaps it was someone else but I'm going to blame you anyway.
  13. This is the second time you've made a comment like this trying to generate traction. Do you have something you want to say?
  14. Well we didn't win the national championship last year so that should be the goal.
  15. I had a question about this that one of you recruiting honks didn't answer or at least I didn't see it. I thought the NLI bound a player for one year, regardless of the portal, etc.
  16. I don't know, maybe Texas really does have a $100M payroll. Sounds like everyone else should just give up.
  17. To believe this is ironic would require believing that the Republican Party actually gives a shit about individual rights. Or that it's actually cared about them at any time in the last half century. You can't possibly still believe that.
  18. It would have ended a long time ago if he would answer a question and provide the evidence that has been requested.
  19. Holy fucking shit. "You guys shouldn't believe everything you read from biased sources. Here's a screenshot from The Right Scoop."
  20. Of course. The issue obviously being that he works for the one fanbase that is eternally eager to swallow the bullshit and never question their dear leader. If this exact offseason happened at Texas there would be internecine warfare in the Texas fanbase. Pumpers and haters have their place alongside calm realists. A&M doesn't have haters. Hell, they even run off their calm realists.
  21. I remember all the way back to a year ago when the satya brigade mocked people who said running back would be okay in 2023. "WE JUST LOST A GENERATIONAL RUNNING BACK AND A FANTASTIC LEADER AND FOOTBALL PLAYER IN BIJAN AND ROSCHON AND YOU THINK WE'LL BE OKAY BASED ON GUYS WHO HAVEN'T PROVEN ANYTHING LIKE BROOKS?!?!? OKAY SUNSHINE PUMPER!" It's almost like that's always a stupid take because nobody can prove anything before they get playing time and running back is the most fungible skill position. This doesn't guarantee we find a good running back but it's certainly stupid to spend time worrying about it.
  22. Player who snaps the ball can be an eligible receiver if he's on the end of the line. But more importantly based on what I've read in the Aggie screenshot thread, we run everything so we can just make them change the rules so everyone is eligible.
