    Free market economy. I’m not a fan but I’m also not mad about it. Those stores are generally a primary source of income for the individual running it. If I put myself in their shoes, I can see where I’d be pissed selling bottles to bros at MSRP only for them to take a crotch shot in their truck and sell it for 2x. They are within their rights to do it, and I’m within my rights to stop shopping there.

    Still elite.

    Has anyone been out to Whitefish or Big Sky? We’re debating those spots for a March trip with our teenagers.

    I’ll humbly submit “yall mfs was doo doo this year” as a candidate for tweet of the month.

    It’s fine to hope he doesn’t leave, but given that feels unlikely who’s the next Marion? Surely there have to be some solid options out there.

    I don't know this topic deserves additional discourse, but that's an over simplification of my thesis. I'm not saying that awards don't matter at all, but I do reject the inference that Bijan losing out on the Doak introduces any risk to our ability to sign Baxter. Maybe I mis-read the thrust of the debate as I was skimming through the replies, but I think the idea is absurd.
  8. RichUT
    Correlation does not equal causation. Yes, awards are doled out before signing day. That doesn't mean those awards have a direct impact on where players sign. I've been following recruiting since the hookem360 days, and I am struggling to think of a single instance where a player winning/not winning a post season award had a material impact on a recruit's decision. I know you've been following just as long, so keep me honest if there is someone I am forgetting. And I'm not saying that these things aren't at all helpful, but they are in no way the basis for a decision. I'd argue that winning them has more of a halo effect on the out year classes vs. the in year class, but the debate raging in this thread was about Baxter and I refuse to believe it's going to make a shit bit of difference in what he decides.
  9. RichUT
    That's exactly what I'm saying and frankly it doesn't seem too hard to comprehend. Baxter absolutely cares about the system, how we utilize our backs, how we develop our RB room, and how successful we are as a program. And Bijan's year provided validation for all of those things already, so him finishing 2nd or 3rd for the Doak Walker award isn't going to do any harm to our RB recruiting whatsoever. If trophies actually mattered in the decision making progress, you'd see recruits waiting to commit until after they are awarded.

    Another thing worth noting here is.....recruits don't give a fuck about who wins the Doak Walker award. Seriously. The Heisman moves the needle a tad, but everything else is just noise for these guys. Bijan winning or losing that trophy isn't going to make one bit of difference to Baxter.

    There is a lot of overthinking happening on this whole Lamborghini discussion. I’m sure the ROI didn’t pencil out based on increased conversion alone, but ultra luxury brands place an outsized value on consistently being associated with the best. That’s all it was about.

    It would be seen as a sign of weakness and a total spin job by our staff. You don't engage in internet discussions with fans unless you're on a sinking ship.

    That’s so unlike him. He’s always been such a genuine and transparent kid.

    I prefer the Xbox experience more, but PS5 is the pick based on the strength of their exclusive titles.

    Okay bill, I have to finally ask. What’s up with taking all your whiskey pics on a couch? If you’re trying to give off a Brazzers vibe then I suppose that’s a personal choice. And it’s working, FWIW. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No one overreacts to the outcome of the game when recruits are visiting quite like Texas fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    bill’s Little Book takes always confuse the fuck outta me. For sure some are better than others, but all 6 are very good and I don’t get the hang ups over the age trends. They are unique expressions that showcase an ability to blend components whose total exceeds the sum of their parts. I’d never pass one up at retail.

    People keep saying Arch is going to redshirt but I fully expect him to burn a year of eligibility next year in a backup or mop-up capacity. Arch Manning is not a prospect that plans on being in college for 5 seasons, so there is zero value in protecting his redshirt. If we want him ready to be QB1 in 2024 they will find opportunities for him to see some live bullets throughout next year.

    Probably having third or fourth thoughts at this point.

    Did anyone see the Fofana injury? Any early indications of how serious it is?
