Burnt Ends

  1. At what point can we stop taking players from the portal? After classes start in August? I know there won’t be really any qualified takes at that point, but I think it’s important to point out roster acquisition doesn’t have to be completed by 1/16.
  2. Yeah, you tell those guys, “good luck” because they’re not operating in good faith. Or, you find a legitimate way to enforce these stupid ass contracts they signed and back out of.
  3. Which is why college head coaches need to employ multiple people with real contract experience and legitimate negotiation skills. Not one Brandon fucking Harris. That, or we need Sally Brown back to smoother the roster with motherly love, fresh baked cookies, and lessons on proper condom use.
  4. I read you. I incorrectly took your original question as rhetorical and sarcastic. I just don’t believe we’ll come out on the other side of this positively in basically all position groups given how short this one portal window.
  5. Did I say that, Sydney? However, right now, it’s not looking too kind to the blue bloods who have spent a ton of money on roster accumulation, just to see a material amount of that depth split without any real ROI. I’m also really appears like our staff has no fucking clue how to maximize Texas’ competitive advantages, because spending more money than others, but losing those players on which the money was spent prior to obtaining a real ROI, doesn’t tend to lead to a true competitive advantage - especially when you’re not upgrading 1:1 in the portal.
  6. If Sark thinks so highly of Muschamp, hopefully Muschamp can, and will, talk some rational sense into Sark regarding the mismanagement and a change of operational structure and process.
  7. Just like the number of OL on our roster in 2026.
  8. Yeah, but that should never happen, regardless of how good a punter is.
  9. And our punter was a bowl game MVP?!
  10. Isn’t this type of thing exactly what paralegals are for?
  11. Looks like it was: “we’ll be done at OL by Friday because we can’t get anyone.”
  12. Who knows, but I will say I haven’t seen much kerfuffle about ND and the portal. Granted, as of now, it appears Clark might be the only one asking for more from the bowl game. Perhaps Smith did, but he has been locked up. With Barnes, it seems like we tried to renegotiate and he left in pursuit of more. Plus, let’s not pretend ND skipped a bowl game so their players wouldn’t get poached. They have the emotional regulation skills and logical maturity of a seven year old and took their ball and went home.
  13. 1) That hasn't worked for us a single portal session yet. Remains to be seen. 2) Haven't they already visited? One of them already turned us down, I know that. So, another strike there. 3) That's not necessarily a good thing... I'm not saying Brooks can't, or won't, improve for next season, but if he wins out, there wasn't much competition. Brooks was horrible this season. According to his grades, historically horrible. Going into next year with the assumption that Brooks will be good enough to start on your offensive line means you didn't improve the guard spots enough from this year. What we are doing to manage the OL room is not working. Yes, spares transferred out, but it just shows how we basically have no OL depth anyways. Also, the OL was the worst unit on the team this year. WTF are you even arguing here? Flood has not done a good job managing that room.
  14. Honestly, it certainly seems like the latter. While there are a lot of stupid aspects of the current college football landscape (portal dates, lack of true rule enforcement, etc.), the current landscape should benefit Texas. It does not appear that our personnel department (and certain members of the coaching staff) know how to take advantage of, let alone operate well, in this environment (as of this cycle, at least).
  15. I would be shocked. They need to take at least five OL now.
  16. Completely agree. Good thing the NCAA is so good at creating intelligent rules, as well as enforcing them.
  17. Goodness. I’m not saying don’t fly them in. I’m saying if such a simple thing to verify from afar is going to sink a deal, that can be verified first. That’s it. I just answered the original question of how it could be done. I’m not so uninformed on in-person business meetings to suggest they shouldn’t occur.
  18. I solely answered the question of how it could be done. Not saying they can’t visit. It’s really no different than a background check or professional license verification process in concept. Does the target meet minimum standards? However, if it’s true that Flood was done immediately after the height and weight mismatch, it was a huge waste of time for all parties involved. That visit could have gone to a more qualified target.
  19. Ask them to send them pictures of someone measuring both prior to booking the trip? I’m sure there’s a way to frame it without coming across in an offensive way… Shit, you could even overnight them the tools to do it as a positive gesture. “We know that roster height and weights are often embellished across the country. We want to confirm your listed biometrics prior to booking your trip.” Or some shit like that.
  20. No, @Vertigo is incorrect. Bobby predicted 10-2 with losses to OSU and Florida. Gerry said 11-1, but also said he could see anything from 9-3 to 11-1.
  21. Agreed. Indiana now offers all the advantages that Alabama used to in the age of the portal and NIL. Indiana also has more booster money committed and much lower (at least historical) expectations. The dude has it made there.
  22. It’ll be nice when Shaka gets fired, has to take a job at some shitty small school, and I don’t have to hear about him anymore (barring some lucky run again).
