    Are you joking or do you not remember Greg Robinson Rides Again in 2013
  2. Thermos H. Christ
    Why is it that every time we have a new DC our defense kicks ass? Diaz year one,, Robinson turnaround, Bedford year one, Orlando year one... j guess what I’m saying is name Chris Ash interim DC right now and then hire whoever next year and keep them on a short leash.

    I call bullshit. The logos leading up to the shiny ones were WAY darker than that. Not even burnt orange, chocolate brown. The number ones The DKR ones and the plain ones

    It sure seems like Anwar and Feldman are just describing the same thing in slightly different ways. Ash suddenly had a lot of free time on his hands, a lot to think about in terms of how he might be more successful as a coach in the future, and good reason to get out and network within the CFB world. He accepted an invite from his friend and former colleague Tom Herman to come sit in on some meetings and practices at Texas leading up to the OU game. He didn't accept some unpaid volunteer job, but I'm sure he had thoughts to share while sitting in on these things. No doubt Ash was doing it because it was an opportunity for him to learn and network as he looks to make his next career move, and it would be totally expected for him to be reaching out to his contacts at other schools and paying them visits as well.

    When Lincoln Riley comes to Austin he makes sure to hit up his favorite BBQ joints, Bill Miller and Dickie’s. Lincoln Riley will always love Nickelback’s early stuff, but he LIVES for the new material

    Not to be bitchassed but #121 passing defense vs. the top air raid team of the last few years... I have concerns. Of course, that kind of logic has never applied to this game, so let's fuck em up. If a 1-4 Charlie Strong Texas team could walk in there and hand a playoff-bound OU their only regular season loss, how could you ever ever count out a 4-1 Tom Herman team with Sam Ehlinger at the helm? We got this.

    Right, just like how the NFL and NBA have players wearing patches for their personal sponsors all over their uniforms, because that's totally inevitable in any sports league that allows players to get paid for endorsements.

    For official visits the school can fly them out and put them up in a hotel room with cookie cakes.

    I'm no tax lawyer/accountant but if I remember right from my days at UT, scholarship money came in the form of a check each semester and to the extent that I didn't spend the money on tuition or books (possibly some other categories?) it was taxable. And of course the money I made at my job was taxed as well. So I assume it would work the same way for athletes. I don't know but I kind of doubt the schools are writing the football players a check, that sounds like asking for trouble. I'm guessing they just say you don't owe us any tuition money and here are your free books and here is your dorm room and the cafeteria is over there.

    As far as the hangers on not getting paid... good? Or if they're able to manipulate the kid enough to profit off them as it is, they can probably manipulate the kid into sharing the wealth with them when they're getting paid above board. I imagine Oregon be delighted to have Nike as their patron, how many kids would be attracted to Oregon because it comes with a Nike endorsement deal attached? Same with Maryland and Under Armor. I guess it could create some friction if Nike is trying to make deals with USC but USC is annoyed at Nike luring recruits away to Oregon? But I doubt either side would get so mad about it they would decline to make money doing business with each other.

    Why would the scholarship benefits become taxable? Pretty sure lots of non-athlete students have income from other sources, and that doesn't make their scholarships taxable income. Why would the question be whether they can earn more than what they get now? Are they going to stop getting what they get now? And why would that be the case? If the school can afford to hand out scholarships now, they can afford to hand out scholarships whether or not the athletes have income from third parties. It's irrelevant.
  19. Thermos H. Christ
    They don't need street agents, per the law they're allowed to have professional agents for this. And there's no need for the USC booster to do this winking nonsense, they can just make it known that they offer to to buy non-exclusive image rights from every USC player who makes it on the roster and say have your agent call me when you get to campus. If you become a star, maybe they even exercise those image rights and put you on a billboard or a TV spot, if not you get paid anyway. Might as well just make it above board. And it doesn't cost the schools or the NCAA anything - all the compensation comes from third parties. The schools get to keep all the money they're making already.

    Also at least as of 2013 they had "assigned seats" in the student section but each "seat" was literally like 9 inches of bleacher so you got real acquainted with the people crushed against you during the game if anything close to the max capacity turned out. That JFF v. Bama 2 game was ludicrous.
  21. Thermos H. Christ
    at first I was like whoah they're gonna build a huge fuckin screen and then I realized the actual field image was the same size as now and they're just putting in extra ad space because lol of course they are
  22. Thermos H. Christ
    Oh please, Charlie Strong was the belle of the ball as far as hot up-and-coming coaches in 2013. He'd turned down Tennessee. Florida fans were mad as hell that we got him before they could. And if Tom Herman didn't or doesn't work out, there will be plenty to point to as far as him not having actually accomplished all that much before he got here, or reasons why it doesn't count.
  23. Thermos H. Christ
    No but see we made an offer and he expressed interest during the same time he was playing hardball negotiating with Bama and they ended up paying off his house and all kinds of other crazy shit, obviously that means it was a done deal and 100% going to happen except that we inexplicably let Mack Brown sabotage it despite him having no actual power to do that?
  24. Thermos H. Christ
    It will be a long time before I assume a win over Okie Lite or KSU, regardless of how I think they’d do against a different team.
