    If they get Chrystal off the wheel and into the trunk, I think so.

    Just shooting me down always, Syd.

    Christ this would be huge.

    I overall get what you're saying, and don't entirely disagree. I was more coming from the angle of what the sell is against Austin, and that I don't feel black voters, or black people in general, are favorable toward a lot of the more liberal stuff just because they vote democrat. Obviously, looking at the two places from afar (Austin vs. Collie), there's no question Austin would have the appearance of being far more progressive toward racial equality issues. I'm satisfied with the discussion. I'm good with my branch of it ending it here. Good points.

    At this rate, should we be hoping it's actually really 2025 instead?

    I'm tweeting at recruits about Afghan*stan

    I hate that this is going to get political, but it does play its part, and I may as well throw in: just because black people largely vote democrat over republicans and conservatives, doesn't mean they're "liberal." Most of the black people I know who yes, vote democrat, don't just fall in line on all of the normal liberal issues because of that vote. Just because they vote democrat doesn't mean they want their kids running a gauntlet of tweekers on a quiet Sunday afternoon just trying to get a burger at Casino El Camino. It's not as easy as just "liberal" or "conservative," or Austin would have all of your black recruits all of the time hashtagErrybody. That's it, that's the tweet.

    Satty boy's whole body would be experiencing an orgasm right now. Not sure if anyone would want to read that. So yah, your number sounds right.

    On the bright side, at least Tom ended our shot at Ewers last year so we could go ahead and get the pain out of the way. Can you imagine how fucking crazy this board would be right now if Ewers, just in this past week, had flipped to and enrolled at Ohio State because our NIL was shit? Holy fuck, maybe that'd be what it took to get those fuckers going.

    I think it'd be a huge help. While every other finalist talks about their deals and pimps their products, Bijan can just sit there and not do any of that, just to show the nation's recruits that you don't need deals and to make money "to get this far!"
  11. UncleBuck
    Nah, they probably won't let him go.
  12. UncleBuck
    Obviously it isn't "the" issue, as that's been blown out of proportion. I will say I can see it having become less of the draw it once was, though, and I get that. Still > Collie Station. Agree or disagree with any of that, it's the exact type of place you want your university sitting in the middle of when it comes to NIL, which makes the [-]progress on that front even more frustrating.

    If so, that dude has been reading twitter for 36 hours straight to stumble upon this one tweet from over a month ago.... or he's digging through a specific player's twitter feed.
  15. UncleBuck
    Seems they're at least working on him, then.
  16. UncleBuck
    I figured it was, but was unable to see the context. Now it makes sense. Thanks.

    Not seeing anything in CTH's replay. What is it?
  18. UncleBuck
    I've been absolutely violated, but it makes me feel better knowing it's one of your preferred genres.

    Do your part then, Mitch. #Ewers4Lyfe

    Stanford talk.... it's sticking around.

    I don't see how that's not 100% fact. I dunno how exactly they're wording it to recruits, but in front of cameras and mics at a press conference, not ONE Texas employee in the athletic department and above is going to address that question much differently. To be honest, he may have said too much there.
  23. UncleBuck
    I'm not sure exactly how else the HC is supposed to respond to this question at a press conference, at this stage in the process.
  24. UncleBuck
    Glad someone said it. FFS

    First off, I'm obviously in support of what the guys here are trying to do with this NIL stuff. I think they've considered everything and are on the right path. But with any of these NIL deals, from what we're seeing suggested here all the way to whatever some group might try doing at Ohio State/Wherever that may be similar, there is going to be a risk of bags just because you're mixing athletes and big money fans in an environment where the big money is already spending. People get greedy, want another inch (twss). So not necessarily bags coming from the organizers, but from the participants, secretly. But that's just the risk you have to take, and work to control as much as possible, because you can't just sit and do nothing a la Crystal while everyone else gets theirs off.
