  1. It's a beating to follow. I can definitely see how it makes people fo back to not paying attention and just see what hits the field in September
  2. They spend billions of dollars buying politicians so they dont have to pay trillions of dollars in taxes
  3. TCU doesn't have the clout we do. It's going to be tough for them to pull nationally from the top of the portal. I dont blame Sark for going all out at the top only for guys who are the best. The Michigan guys are starters on a Big 10 team that is known for OL development. They pushed hard for Baugh. They're pushing hard for Coleman. They took their shots at the top and are pivoting to the next level and starting to land targets. They absolutely need to have scouts scour the entirety of college football at every level for talent that's being developed. No matter where it is located. As far the players in the portal, that's happening with every top level program. We had the #1 recruiting class out of HS last year. Those guys were crazy expensive, and with the change to the system this year in rev share you just can't afford to pay the ones that are not developing quick enough what they made last year to sit the bench. All these teams around the country have rev share money and starting jobs to throw at these guys. No one is convincing them to stay without offering up that bump in pay.
  4. That combined with you can't pay people to sit the bench anymore. The top players you need have gotten way too expensive. Teams have to put their resources in those players and a few players like a Justice Terry or Lance Jackson they anticipate developing into top level starters in a year. Everyone else is getting offered peanuts in comparison. The days of paying big money out of HS for anyone not projected to be a major star have to be over. I doubt any mid to high 4 star guy gets offered anywhere near what they have in the past. This is just that transition year where last year's recruits were paid on the old model but this year's portal is working off the new rev share model.
  5. Why? If him insulting the morons made them go away he could have cleaned this place up and made it respectable years ago. Even when he bans a lot of the idiots and deletes access to posting they just pop back up as some new stupid name. He can't get rid of them, they're like some super species of roach.
  6. Work through the mentality of this. What's more likely? That Harris just goes rogue and fucks up meeting after meeting after meeting with, coincidentally, only the players that either didn't produce anything in 2025 or were/are having people brought in from the portal at their position? Or that most of those players in those positions are being offered less money than they made last year and see the team trying to add players from the portal in their positions as recruiting over them? So they are choosing to leave and go elsewhere to both make more money and have a starting job? Gerry said Barnes told him he had 8 different teams contact him with offers to start next season within 30 min of it going public he's in the portal. It doesn't matter if Harris, Sark, Trump, Biden, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, or the fucking Buddha are the ones giving them that news.
  7. Well, then the play may be to start funding the programs of the UT system to be developmental feeder programs. Take all the 2 and 3 stars and the ones that pan out get sent up to the big show. But something they can do right now is to hire a staff of scouts that do nothing but scour college football looking for developed prospects with talent ready to be poached. Or try to money whip a few of Cignetti's scouts
  8. I actually disagree completely. I love this aspect of the portal era. Animosity and hatred get more explosive and the stakes feel even higher. Yep. Sark decided that going all in on Coleman to take the outside spot opposite Wingo was the way to go and Livingstone was told up front that was the plan and he was going to be offered a backup role and backup money for next season. So he bolted, and OU offered starter money and a starter role. Anyone would be pissed and wanting some revenge for the disrespect in his shoes. I dont blame him, and I find it funny that OU thinks Sark's castoffs are the path to a title.
  9. All but the most elite of elite freshmen require at least a full year of development before being of any value to a team contending for a title. I'm saying he's not one of those. He may never develop. But at minimum we know he wasn't an early bloomer. He's behind even the other 3 freshmen we took
  10. We canceled our family one and went to Tidal. Spotify walked it back and said they wont air them. Fuck them for ever doing it at all. Local and state police need to start arresting them.
  11. Totalitarianism. If this isn't defeated with force and harshly punished the country will fall for good and all our lives will be far worse. Our children and grandchildren will have no hope for the future possibility of a good life. Heather Richard talked about every time extremism/fascism has begun to take hold in the US there's been an event that turns white people against it and drives it back to the fringes. Let's hope full view video of a white woman being slaughtered by the fascist republican agents is one of those events. If this doesn't even do it? This country is fucked right here and right now.
  12. Late bloomer. Highly ranked late bloomers don't stay with the team that signed them out of HS anymore. He can trade on his HS grade for a bigger payday than what Texas will offer him. After 1 year he's clearly last out of the 4 they took out of HS last year.
  13. You believe it's just you 2? My sweet summer child...
  14. That's what 95% of redshirt freshmen with talent do. AI lies as badly as SidneyCarton's wife when she tells him she's going to "girl's night"
  15. Miami had two backup corners in the game, one of them a freshman, and Ole Miss didn't even try to attack them one time in that red zone. Stupid decisions lose games
  16. He wasn't, but everyone is negotiating right now. I saw here the narrative from the resident bullshit artist that the ignorant are eating up as truth is that Brandon Harris completely fucked up the Barnes negotiation and others. But then explain how he isn't fucking up the negotiations for the DL? There's beg no peep out of Terry, Sharma, Charles, Jackson, etc. Why is that? Could it be because those are the guys Sark wasn't looking to replace in the portal? So those negotiations got sewn up quickly with no problem? And with a guy like Barnes, Sark was actually trying to push out and give his money to Alliegro and the Cal LB? That just seems to make the most sense. I have no idea if Harris is fucking anything up or not, but everything that happens seems to suggest Harris is nothing more than Sark's mouthpiece and errand boy. I would need some solid evidence Harris says it's does anything differently from what Sark tells him to do, and the word of proven liars here don't count. Sark got caught with his pants down on just how difficult it was going to be to win these recruitments and the staff is struggling to fix some stupid mistakes with guys like Barnes.
  17. I see smaller HS classes and exactly what you just said. Then really put your chips down in the portal for guys other programs paid to develop. I think it's obvious Sark did not anticipate the portal changes that have happened this year and he's scrambling at certain positions now. Especially at QB. Why pay millions for a freshman when you can pay peanuts for a developmental freshman and pay millions for an already developed starter. Every team left in the playoffs now has that exact situation, right?
  18. Can't feel good. HS players are going to start getting offered a ton less money across the board going forward. Unless they're Colin Simmons/Jeremiah Smith level. It makes no sense for any big program to sink so much money into freshmen who won't play except special teams then get pissed and bolt. If they're going to keep this portal stuff as is I would like to see them make 1 change. Make it where the portal window is the final cut day for everyone. Meaning if you enter the portal you must be signed with a program by the portal end date or you're ineligible for the following season.
  19. This is a touchy subject at the moment, but what do you think of the Shipley situation? I would rather he recovers, but knowing he and his family are big magas and support the death and destruction of people who aren't like them makes me not give too much of a shit. And the incessant religious nonsense his family throws out in every update on that thread made me just step away from reading it. I understand it's a crutch that these types of people lean on but damn, say it once and move on. It rings so hollow knowing the atrocities these people support. A decade ago I'd be all in this guy's corner, religious dumbassery aside. Another example for me of trump showing me who some of my fellow Americans/Texans/Longhorns truly are. Such a shame.
  20. I like how the completely unregulated transfer portal madness is ruining college football. I guess a complete lack of a legitimate governmental body regulation of some kind is a disaster no matter the scenario. Ron Paul was a complete moron.
  21. I see you havent been in a casino since the 90s
  22. I figured that was one that might go this direction. He actually showed out as a true freshman against Michigan. He's in line to play a ton next season even with a LB or 2 being brought in. He seems like a prototype LB for Muschamp with his size and ability to move. Bet he walks back in soon. Virtually no staffs around the country are managing fine. Most of them are having to put everything in just to keep the players they already had. Almost no one is actually gaining yet.
