  1. I can't see Aggie dropping Reed even if he is holding them financially hostage. They just came off their greatest season ever. Dumping Reed for Lagway or any other QB just seems insane. No chance that this could just be Aggie signing a back-up QB type behind Reed?
  2. It's not finite. We're Texas. Can someone post the NIL Donation link? I don't have it b/c I am a poor.
  3. L I'm not there yet, but partially enchubbened by the early reports.
  4. Maybe we just pay brown to return kicks and punts. We're Texas. Lol
  5. Shaggybevo has that.
  6. Dooooommmed
  7. I like the plethora of IOL options that seem to be hitting the portal from small schools where they are NFL caliber size wise and stat's wise, but have not been up against elite competition at their smaller school. The start here for a year sell for Texas should work with at least one or two of these IOL.
  8. This is not a very Texas attitude. We're Texas. I understand budgets and proposed rules that have not been enacted, but we are in our final Manning year. If we can't drum up significant "extra" money this year than when would we ever? PS Please donate to the Texas One Fund, bc I am poor and can't donate shit.
  9. I would have expected that a decent amount of tampering has been going on for the last year culminating in these transfer portal shenanigans. I mean two years in a row we've seen people enter portal, sign with another team when it officially opens, and not visit a single school. So I would hope that we locked up 2-3 need players/positions and have done a good job of tampering them to Texas already. I would think with the expanded SEC rosters that Texas would take a collection of roster fill-in types that are just looking for a new opportunity as opposed to seeking maximum salary.
  10. I thought it was pretty obvious last year that when Sark went AWOL and our portal acquisitions went to shit as well that Sark was driving the boat.
  11. I kind of look at it like this. If we don't lock down 2-3 sure starters and a complimentary group of depth players the first 24 hours of the portal, I am going to be prepared for maximum disappointment. I don't look at Sark's answer above as anything other than explaining the reality of the situation he is dealing with internally. It's not a comment on any external asks from players in the portal, I think he is just explaining why there seems to be more tough decisions made this year (letting people go due to $ issues) than prior years. It's interesting to see how the professionals deal with these things (all the contract shit handled by the GM) as compared to each school's own rag-tag system that likely relies heavily on the coaches/coaching staff. Like Imma said above, what exactly does the GM do if not handle this shit so Sark does not have to do it.
  12. I guess we will see if he shows up for Junior Day this year to see if he learned his lessons.
  13. How do you not trust the same brain trust that felt good about last year's starting offensive line and the depth behind it? It's also like we've never been outbid on someone in the last year. I'm all for sunshine pumping, but I also witnessed the last twelve months.
  14. Our success next year will not hinge on our ability to make ruthless decisions. It will hinge in our ability to sign the elite free agents we target. Historically we have had success at certain positions because we haz the monies. Do we have the same financial advantage that we have had in previous years when other teams have gotten on board with NIL and paying players or have a select mega donor or two that front top of the line spending for the best talent? If we fill out our transfer portal options like we did last year we will likely come to regret losing a LL or a Wisner. If we continue to be ruthless, make great decisions, and close well with elite recruits than no one is going to lose sleep over losing Wisner
  15. Ended the year with the stupidest session of my life. I play in a rake free, 1-1 game one time per week. The last two years, game has gotten deeper and deeper. Well our annual Christmas game we typically move to a weekend night to allow more drinking and do pot luck, bomb pot presents, etc. Had quite possibly the best six hour run of my life last week. All-in with nut flush in Omaha and bink flush on both run outs. Quads twice, but didn't win much with either hand. Last hand get about five players paying $150 in Omaha so I get to take my huge winnings and call with a one suite K-Q-J-6. Flop comes Q-10-6. I'm first to act and check. Pot and repot before it gets back to me. Repot had 5-7-8-9 so I didn't look up equity, but it was pretty good. LOL. In for $500, reloaded for $500. Out for $10,880. Not a bad sun run to end the year.
  16. Doesn't the set make a raise on the turn a lot of the time? I get the rainbow board check/trap on the turn, but I think he raises the turn with a set to build a pot most more often than not.
  17. You have to call here. I large enough percentage of the time you have him outkicked to justify the call IMHO. Dramatic overraise here by someone who generally knows what he is doing makes me think he is not overplaying K8 or less. I lean towards not re-raising based on your description. If he just has a naked seven, he may fold to your re-raise enough to make your re-raise not profitable against all the boats he demolishes you with. On the flip side thinking it through a set or even a good two pair checking the flop and then check calling the turn seems like things a good player does not do. I mean it's possible, but it puts in a less likely scenario. As a result, I think he has to have a seven with a lesser kicker with his raise here. Unless he has something like 7-2 (is the game on?) or 8-7 (distinct possibility) and just flatted you with a weaker two pair on turn. So I think the percentage you get a weaker seven to call your river jam > percentage he has a boat. So I jam.
  18. It seems to me that Wisner was attempting to leverage our lack of RB depth in our bowl game in an attempt to get more money. I mean if he has frank discussions earlier regarding his status, he should have hit the portal three weeks ago. So it could be that Texas said something like let's see how things go before we talk final NIL numbers, but the more likely scenario is he knew a few names were jumping to the portal in the RB room and was hoping that would make Texas desperate to meet his NIL ask so we had a RB to play in the bowl game.
  19. How will the Texas offense succeed during this game with no semblance of a running game?
  20. Nearly 3x pot jam on river with a timing tell of a bluff after pure air on the turn? With the line he is taking in the hand making little to no sense and the timing tell, I probably call.
  21. In. I guess I am in the minority that I want the OG shaggybevo on it and not surly. LOL
