  1. Some info from when I looked into it a bit previously. At one point I think basically all the infrastructure for their collective went through TexAgs but I think they’ve slowly separated them (to what extent is unclear)
  2. He was also a lean in his final spring as a high school recruit. From what I remember, there was criticism about Sark not pushing hard to close on several targets at that time and Jimbo was able to go in and get him committed while we were playing the long game (which Sark has turned into a pretty successful approach).
  3. I’d also bet he gets fired after the Arkansas series in a desperate bid to change something before our series
  4. On the A&M campus for my SIL’s white coat ceremony (vet school) I found a trophy
  5. So, I don’t know if I’m alone in this but this offseason feels like an absolute beating. 2020 is the only offseason since the start of the Herman era that I remember being so unenjoyable. The Quinn vs. Arch stuff has been beaten to death but the people pushing it won’t shut the fuck up about it. I’d love to have a surly thread to keep up with offseason news and discussion, but I don’t want to be subjected to spillage from the 500 page Quinn bitch fest. Can we start negging discussion of last year’s QB room management on here? I’ve found myself logging in to my friend’s OB account recently. If that isn’t a cry for help I don’t know what is.
  6. I like him during the season. He probably puts in the most work to preview opponents and understand matchups In the off-season he tends to fall back on generic platitudes, though I’d imagine some of that is because he doesn’t have the same network of sources in the program and around the country that Bobby and Gerry do, respectively
  7. Why is that? Unless I've missed something, Wright fits the RT mold that Flood has recruited here pretty well
  8. The bad look for Huggins is having any expectations for Wescott Eberts that could be disappointed
  9. The commercials are for people posting the jobs, not applying to them. At least the ones I get. But I’ll take your advice I’m sorry you lost your job, bub
  10. Surely they can control the number/duration of ads though, right? They're the only pod that I listen to with so many ads. When I see a 22 minute position preview, I'm going in with the assumption that at third of that time is ads. I've unsubbed from others for less, but I like OTF (enough to be a paying member there). I did recently go for YouTube Premium for unrelated reasons, so that helps.
  11. Same and I'm not that old. It's incredible how rested you feel when you can sleep for more than a couple minutes at a time.
  12. I think this is right. Jake Locker is the only real precedent for a dual threat in a Sark offense. He had 226 attempts / 776 yard / 13 TD over 24 games, which will include sacks and scrambles. I’d also imagine those UW would give up more pressures (and thus sacks/scrambles) and be in more games that required Sark to use Locker’s legs. So, I’m guessing something like 80/300/5 for Arch this year. The wild card could be if QB run becomes a staple of the red zone offense or if we decide to become a QB sneak team.
  13. Not to be pedantic but if you have sleep apnea, you’re waking up more than 5 times per hour (severe is 30+) Aggies wish their program had sleep apnea
  14. Saying “at least 8” seems a bit out of touch and an easy way to be disappointed with a great class. We signed 5 last year in the #1 class. Nobody has signed more than 5 in the last two years (since NIL has really matured).
  15. I realized recently that there’s a better than decent chance that the coaches listed in Liucci’s ‘next come the championships’ tweet win more championships for Texas than for A&M
  16. The part about TJ being responsible for two high makes some things click for me. PK ran a lot of single high at UW and it’s been surprising how little we’ve seen of it here.
  17. Locked on has a show for every major sports league and school (like barstool). They claim one million daily views across the network so they’ll get some sponsors for sure. Not really sure how that trickles down to the small hosts if at all. i haven’t liked the shows I’ve tried from them
  18. Jake Smith Especially after the first half of his freshman year when he was more productive on a per-snap basis then Duvernay
  19. Alright, fine, let’s break down Choice’s RB recruiting at Texas. First, the context: - He inherited Robinson, Johnson, Robinson, Brooks, Blue, and Red. 4 of them went pro after three years, which means the backs that he recruited played earlier in their careers than would be expected of other positions. - NIL: It’s not my impression that Choice has lacked appropriate support (hence Baxter and Gibson) but we’ve also heard that some RBs have been taken off the board due to their asks (e.g., Davison). That is probably something that’s especially important to consider for his RB2 takes. The signees: - 2023: Baxter (#1 RB in the class), Wisner (#28) - 2024: Gibson (#3), Clark (#42) - 2025: Simon (#9), Stewart (#58) Total production: Some scattershooting takeaways based on the six player-seasons we’ve seen from his signees so far: He signed a top ten RB recruit every year. 2 of the player-seasons were lost to injury. Baxter was the first ever true freshmen RB to start opening day for Texas and was a solid contributor on the 2023 team. Wisner contributed on special teams and had a couple flashes as a true freshman that he then translated to a 1000 yard season as RB3. Gibson looked really good but had fumble issues. They are all culture fits. There were some understandable frustrations with Baxter’s and Gibson’s freshman years due to injury and fumbles. Gibson looks really good as a short yardage back. I just don’t see a reason to complain about his recruiting. That one guy completely missed Choice’s point when he said he didn’t want to recruit a guy from the portal. It wasn’t about not wanting to recruit a college player; it was about liking his guys better. I’m sure NIL is also a factor there. Do you want to go pay for a guy to compete with Baxter, Gibson, and Wisner, or do you want to retain Manny Muhammad/add Travis Shaw/sign Justus Terry?
  20. Ah, I see BOW is at his BOW-iest tonight
  21. I’m with Texifornia. I want to go to as many home games as possible but I’m (probably) not going to make three straight trips for directional schools. Home slate as a whole is pretty meh this year minus A&M.
  22. 3/4 of his new hires (Baker, Jackson, Choice, not Nansen) have been guys that he hasn’t worked with previously. He seems to cast a net for recommendations then trust that + the interview. I like the process, though it does render fan wishcasting moot
  23. Somewhat related - I’ve seen similar stuff to the tweet below going back for years. The cutoff ranking that really seems to matter lies somewhere around the top 100-150 recruits (for 247, that’s around their .95 rating for individual recruits and 950 for team talent). Prospects rated above that have better results, as do teams that stack those prospects. https://surlyx.com/jbuddavis/status/1886521561081131323?s=46 edit: I did my best with surlyx but I’m on mobile and I failed Here’s the graphic
  24. I think Gerry has said his system is 5* ~top 30, 4*++ ~top 75, 4*+ ~top 150(?). I’m less sure about the last one so someone correct me if I’m wrong
  25. I'm not even 30 yet, bitches Someday ctj and SC will be among the geriatrics that we bully off the board. Then me and my fellow youths will finally be able to instill our culture of love, acceptance, patience, natties, and just asking questions.
