It’s just interesting that you conflate your willingness and availability to watch a player with how good they are and then share that opinion so confidently But to get back to the original comment - Sellers is the 4th freshman. The upperclassman in that group is the least exciting of them. Looks like we’re finally past all the 24 year olds in CFB

Sterns was pretty good straight away. Kinda felt like his first six games here were the best of his career, but part of that feeling was probably the general malaise of the Herman years

Didn’t Derek Williams enroll in the summer? He was playing quality snaps by the end of the year. Just a data point. I don’t expect Jonah to have an impact this year. The safety room is in a much better spot than when Derek came in, obviously.
-
The most interesting part to me is that he presumably watched their OL last year and chose 3 of them plus a draw.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Bodacious Bevo replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Sounds like we got really lucky. A&M, UF, and OSU all decided he wasn’t worth bidding on. Logically that should mean our initial offer was his only option so we got him on the cheap. -
Lmfao I dont think I’ve seen anyone use 3 year old high school scouting reports when talking about upperclassmen before.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I saw that in some of the screenshots but it seems weird that Liucci would initially be so adamant that Hudson would be welcome back with open arms if that were the case -
Haven’t checked on this thread since page 1549 on October 5th I can’t wait to see our boy Graham’s takes on the second half of the season!

Zelus Hicks skipping his entire senior year to be an early enrollee is extra insane -
TexAgs briefly had some kind of partnership with The Athletic awhile back

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This
Bodacious Bevo replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Maybe, but there needs to be more nuance than 10 5*s, 10 3*s, and a hundred 4*s every cycle. I still wish OTF would do their rankings based on their perception of priority for the staff, but it's still valuable to see how Gerry (read: the people he talks to) views prospects. -
2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State

Pros of 10 days between games: player health, time for travel plans Con: matchup thread has gone to shit before a normal game week thread would have been posted -
2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Bodacious Bevo replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
… wouldn’t this math have put ASU up 31-24 with 2 minutes left? Tennessee has a really good front seven too. Difference for us needs to come from the secondary. I personally don’t put any stock in the Michigan game. Ohio State care more about sending a message than playing their best and got burned for it. They seemed to have learned their lesson. This is a lot of anger considering a decision hasn’t been made yet. They’ll likely be told “No” and “Too bad” too. Hell, just because Sankey asked doesn’t mean it’s being considered. -
There’s a policy process term for this: policy bubble, when suppressed change in a policy area finally occurs and over-corrects so that the solution to a problem becomes a problem itself. It’s part of a larger policy process theory called punctuated equilibrium theory, which is a way of explaining why most governance systems change very slowly with occasional periods of large, explosive changes (i.e., why you don’t often see moderate, reasonable change in government). PET looks at agenda-setting and information processing to show how the desires and values of the general population get distorted in the policy-making process. In the case of CFB, the NCAA was a policy monopoly. They had complete control over the rules of collegiate athletics. Anybody that wanted to create change had to do it through their system. They used that power to dampen such efforts. Grievances with the system slowly accumulated as the difference between the NCAA’s rules and the wants of players/fans/coaches/etc grew. Eventually people found an alternative way to create change: the courts. The introduction of a new policy venue opened up all of collegiate athletics’ institutional rules to change and attracted tons of new policy actors: TV networks, collectives, agents, private equity, etc. They all have their own agendas that may or may not align with what the original stakeholders wanted. The processes of negative feedback that used to suppress change were replaced by positive feedback that encourage it. We’ve completely flown past the moderate change that was originally desired and find ourselves in a policy bubble.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!

I’m not sure Arnold is better than Thorne. Thorne just has an uncanny ability to throw horribly disastrous INTs. Arnold can do that too and adds in fumbles to match
