Getting cock slapped in the face by their own words is the aggy way. I'm pretty sure it's their longest standing, proudest turdition.

If he can keep the ridiculous first step he showed in camp settings while adding some good weight, I think he'll have the chance to be an absolute monster for us.

Kevin Sumlin thinks they need several more.

I view it as being sort of like the Mind Flayer from the last two seasons of Stranger Things. Except weirder, more unnerving, and grosser.

And lied to the NFL to try and cover up Winston's general rapey-ness: ...Ron Darby's statement to the league was that he no longer recalled the Uber ride in question and that his text messages show that he was still outside the International club as Winston was finishing the ride. I really just don't understand how a kid with any character whatsoever could ever play for Fisher. His "values" are extremely well documented.

"Pure liquid fact?" Is that an actual idiom? If so, it's an absolutely terrible one that no one should ever, ever use.

I read that - and I guess it could be true, but it could also be excuse making - he is aggy now, after all. I have no idea. I can say for sure that I'd much rather have Quentin Johnston than Omeire. I just hope the staff can reel him in.

Wow. It must have been ugly because the aggy Ministry of Information deleted the Tweet.

I know you're joking, but that kid is 100% a take and I'm afraid they're going to fuck around and push him to USC if they haven't already. Obviously, he's not a Bijan, Evans, or McClellan, but he could be a fantastic Swiss Army Knife type player for us.

Apologies in advance, but... I used to tell people that Surly was the top cheese of all Longhorn boards. And emmental those words. I feel like everyone can fondue much better. Hopefully, the board can pull itself together, but I don’t think it’s gruyere-nteed.

This guy, probably. EDIT: My bad - I missed the "in their right mind" part. This poor guy clearly doesn't fall into that category.

He looks like a DL you'd custom build in NCAA Football video games with max height, weight, speed, agility, and strength.

Wife: Marina lady:

I feel like Beck is worth keeping. Given the way he's recruited, the thought of losing him scares the hell out of me. With the big push for collaborative playcalling these days, I'm fine with him staying on as OC as long as Herman has plenty of input on the plays. And, hopefully Fedora and Beatty sooner rather than later.

The recruiting dead weight on this staff is absolutely infuriating. Giles, Mehringer, Warehime, and Drayton are massive governors on what should be an elite recruiting operation - and, because of the positions they handle, RB and DL in particular - on the ceiling of the program as a whole. For a guy who insists on single year deals for most of his staff, Herman doesn't seem to be demanding much at all from those four in terms of accountability. The concern I have here (which I suspect is justified, unfortunately) is that Herman will refuse to make necessary changes because he's convinced that he's the smartest guy in CFB and can do no wrong (maybe there's a Tyrion Lannister comparison here, given the GoT theme posts a few pages back). So I'm pretty worried that Herman looks at the criticism of those four guys and basically thinks "I'm the head coach at Texas, they're not. They don't know anything and I'm keeping MY guys." It's probably true that we don't know very much at all compared to him - but you need to be in MENSA to see that those four are very obviously lead backpacks on the stellar work being done by some of the others like Beck, Samples, Carrington, and Hand. I just hope it doesn't take losing Broughton and Collins for him to figure it out.

It basically is. It's all about the retention numbers in the US News & World Report rankings. If they don't keep you in, it has the potential to hurt their standing. It's like that at most of the schools inside the top 10 to 15 (and some outside of it). It's also pretty true that it can be hard to get much below a "B." However, depending on the class, getting an "A" can be really, really hard because some of the kids you're competing with are actual Rhodes Scholars and/or can do advanced physics in their heads. All the hard work in the world isn't going to get you past that particular obstacle unless you're super, super smart.

Holy fuck: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11463976/5be32c329677720b2cf3a9dc I just hope he doesn't outgrow football in favor of... the caber toss and/or the rest of the Highland Games?

You can always tell a Milton Milford man. https://arresteddevelopment.fandom.com/wiki/Milford_School

I, for one, hate to see that happen to a super nice guy like Patterson. How's he going to find time to negative recruit while dealing with all of these mistreatment allegations? I'm looking forward to seeing Herman steal more of their good evaluations late in the cycle.

Fixed.

I think it's in the Hamm thread - I don't remember when though. Maybe February-ish?

Do you guys remember when Malik Hornsby was a better QB prospect than VY because he was a lot like Reggie McNeal who was also better than VY? Good times. The backtracking is already hilarious. Please please please let them miss out on King.

I can't imagine that a Saban disciple like Cristobal will have any trouble finding a scholarship to pull.

It's highlight reel and the competition probably isn't the greatest, but I thought his effort level was really impressive. He played like a madman in every clip.
