Smoker talk sounds infinitely better than media market talk or whatever the fuck this is
Gotta move to Austin for the BBQ market.

All seasons makes good protein feeders. Buy a smoker from a company that's known for making good smokers.
Fair, but Lamborghini made good tractors. I've heard the quality is good, just needed to know if anyone had experience with that specific smoker.

against fucking Oregon
You say that as if that probably isn't the most viewed game they play every year. Oregon is a fucking brand, baby.

Bringing this back around to recruiting, why your analysis is wrong, and why this is a bad hill for you and the others to die on:
You are correct that the social media has made geography less important in terms of gaining fame, but MONETIZING it is optimized in moving to a large media market.
We aren't going to compete with USC on an Evan Stewart who thinks his post ball career is creating a lifestyle brand if we're promoting Austin's (or even Texas's) media market as a great way for him to have a few commercials.
I also don't think we dropped the ball just because two lineman went to Oregon and some MMA gym owner is willing to pay $500K for one year of Miami football sponsorship.
If you do think we are potentially dropping the ball because it's past time to fully weaponize The Longhorn Network then I'd agree there, at least in terms of traditional media. Forget the P&L, run that son of a bitch at a loss but get eyeballs on it. That's the kind of shit the high school kids might notice (and if you feel like Texas media market exposure is a good peer to LA then this is how you might prove it).
Well luckily for us and everyone else, there aren't 100 other D1 schools in LA for all of these athletes to go to, so it really doesn't matter.
Besides, there are plenty of internet celebrities who live in Austin, Dallas, Miami, wherever. This girl lived in Louisiana. Where was she gunna move up to, Lafayette? LA's always the easy move when you're from nowhere.
The City of LA has a lot of name recognition with the entertainment biz, but it's becoming less necessary to be there now. You're seeing that every day with the Rogans etc... scooting out and still running their entertainment businesses elsewhere. Austin has plenty of California lawyers these days, on top of the ones it already had.

From Suchomel:
For most of his recruitment, the focus for defensive lineman Aaron Bryant has been focused on SEC schools, with programs like Georgia and Ole Miss receiving the most buzz. Coming out of his June official visits, there is one SEC school that still sits high on Bryant’s list, but it’s a Big 12 school that has made its way into the Southaven (MS) standout’s top two.
In the last two weekends of the month of June, Bryant took official visits to Texas A&M and Texas, and those two schools currently sit atop his list.
“Texas is right at the top. Honestly, the two schools I’m considering the most are Texas and Texas A&M. It’s going to be a Texas battle at the end of the day. That’s what I feel,” Bryant said. “It’s the scheme fit, the people there. It’s the need they have, the way I feel like I fit in the room with the guys and the way I fit into the schemes.”
Following his Texas official visit, Bryant told Orangebloods.com that a number of factors piqued his interest, including the city of Austin and getting to know defensive line coach Bo Davis.
“Something that really stood out for me, we talked a lot of football. That was really important for me. Getting to know coach Davis was really cool, getting to know him better,” Bryant said. “And just getting to see everything, see how beautiful Austin is, that really stood out to me.”
At 6-4 and 295 pounds, Bryant is considered a pure defensive tackle prospect, but under new Texas defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, the Longhorns’ expect versatility out of their d-linemen and the coaches told Bryant he fits that bill perfectly.
“They feel like I can play a lot of positions on their defensive line and that’s important to what they’re trying to do. I really like the fit as far as the scheme goes,” Bryant said. “They run a 4-man front and it’s an attacking style. I feel like I’m a penetrating type of defensive tackle, so that’s very important to me. I really liked that part of it.”
In getting to know Davis better, Bryant said their talks weren’t really about Xs and Os. The conversations more centered on Davis’ experience in coaching players, both in college and in the NFL. Davis’ resume certainly caught Bryant’s attention.
“Coach Davis, we didn’t talk about the scheme a whole lot. He said what’s really going to be important is development. He said the scheme is always going to be the scheme. We didn’t talk about Texas a whole lot,” Bryant said. “It was more him talking about me and how he was going to develop me. That really stood out to me.
“I feel like coach Davis is definitely one of the best guys in the sport. It would be an honor to play for him. He’s put a lot of guys into the NFL. He seems like my type of guy as a coach. I’d love to play for a coach like him.”
Bryant holds close to 25 scholarship offers. He doesn’t have a firm date for a commitment, but said he’d like to come to a decision in the near future if things feel right.
“It’s going to be a really hard decision. It’s time for me to take a step back, pray about it, think about it and hopefully come to a decision soon,” Bryant said. “I don’t really have a timeline, it’s just whenever I know. When I know, I’ll make a decision.”https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Aaron-Bryant-144619/RecruitInterests/

I mean... It's not. The only merit to your argument is the potential licensing implications for the creator and the ease that Phil Knight would have in clearing those hurdles. But you don't buy anything from Nike.
Look, obviously it's not Nike, save your links. But tell these kids it's not Nike. That they're not dealing with "the guy from Nike." That's the point.

It's important to note that Thibodeaux didn't announce a deal with Nike, he announced a deal with Phil Knight.
I think it's also important to that note that it's basically still Nike. We'll call it Knightke, if that makes everyone at the table feel better.

There's 6 months til signing day. No 'above the table' NIL deal announced on day 6 is going to permanently cost us a recruit.
Obviously there's time until signing day, but I'm not going to pretend I'd rather not get as far behind as a commitment on a recruit. A little harder to flip.

Just because other schools are first out of the gate doesn't mean Texas can't or doesn't want to compete. Texas has a larger fanbase, more BMDs, and a bigger media market than anybody else out there.
I think it's obvious Texas wants to compete. The problem with these other schools busting out of the gate is that it may have already cost Texas a Texas recruit, and it could cost more.
As for our BMDs, if they can get motivated enough, that's fine. I'm not hearing about a lot of motivation now that a coach has been hired.

Anyone have any experience with the All Star Feeders 20" "Oven Up" vertical offset? No, I didn't read the whole thread. Just browsing smokers and this one caught my eye along with others, just not a lot of info on it.

Based on the 247 recruiting chat, it sounds like the staff came in thinking Texas would recruit itself and now they’re realizing it’s much more difficult. Wonderful.
This is one of those stupid things you say when you can't think of anything else to say.
(not you, the 247 chat)

Appears to be that, as well, according to a couple of know-shits on here.

With all this money we have why are our bags not good enough?
It's all about the money these boosters and bag-fellas have. No matter how much they do have, they do not appear to be organized and/or carrying the balls enough to be successful at it. We need to bring in the old Patches O'Houlihan of Bag-Manning to whip these fuckers into shape.

Hear me out what if we also get a black guy to commit today? Does that fuck up the vibe here, or do we accept it?
