I mean I get that it is a ridiculous show, but it went even more off the rails than I expected this half-season.

I expressed plenty of outrage with the Flynn/Stone/Manafort bullshit. I also bitched about LIbby. I don't think I know about Toussie, but will now read up on that one. I will lose my absolute shit when the Jan 6 pardons come down. There is no solution. It doesn't change the fact that Biden is a liar and this move (even if you think its warranted for many different reasons) tarnishes his legacy, feeds conspiracy theories, and removes some of the moral high ground Dems might have had previously. They still have way more than Rs and Trump, but a little less than yesterday.

I am as outraged about the Hunter pardon as I am about every fucking abusive Trump pardon that he put together including all those who likely exchanged money, political favor, or whatever they needed to obtain a pardon from Trump. I am also angry that Biden lied to us about it. That work for everyone? Or do we need to be outraged longer?

Just like any free agency in sports - the market is what people are willing to pay. There is usually one idiot willing to overpay because that's the one player they need to win it all or whatever delusions they can create. The fair market rate is never what the idiot is willing to pay. Sure agents will go the following year and claim what idiot paid Player A is now the new market and we want a deal that beats that one, but that is not the market because of the idiot or the claim by the agent. Texas has been a sophisticated purchaser for three years running now. They are well aware of the market for any position/player they have been interested in. Oregon, Aggie, Florida, whomever can always come in last second and try to throw money at their problems. We then have a choice - pay more for that particular player or just pay the market rate for the next kid on the list or the next kid in the portal. We typically always choose the ladder. That doesn't mean Texas is not willing to pay the market rate. Just that it won't overpay out of desperation.

It's a crazy world of NIL and some schools can get stupid. Texas has an organized and disciplined approach to NIL by all accounts. So while we are willing to pay fair market rates, we eventually may reach a point where we are outbid because other schools put a bigger NIL package on the table and we stay disciplined. The good news is that by all accounts bloU and LSU are struggling with raising NIL funds. Aggy though are just two years off of buying the greatest recruiting class of all time. I would think they would then look at their current roster and evaluate the stupidity of that decision, but never underestimate Aggy's ability to Aggy.

I feel confident that Sark can pick and choose whomever he wants out of the portal at WR. Manning at QB. Two years of productive portal results at WR with Bond, Golden, and Mitchell. Throw in Sark's prior results at WR, our offense, UT's NIL commitment, and the results this year. Sark will take whomever he wants at WR in the portal IMHO. The only downside that we might have is that Moore and WIngo are a pretty solid 1-2 punch and if Golden opts to stay than the starting lineup may be considered harder to crack here than other schools which may be much more empty. Who knows whether Moore or Wingo will try to play the NIL game that Worthy tried to play. I doubt they have enough leverage like Worthy did, but it's WR so anything is possible. So I can't see Sark being very interested in Hudson as at WR there usually are bigger fish in the sea.

That jlaw and solo b hole comment was hysterical for aggie.

Look I would rather have Quinn out there, but a gimpy Quinn should not be out there under any circumstances. Same as the second half of the Kentucky game. I get that we want to win an SEC Championship, but a national championship run is more important. So if you believe Quinn gives you the best shot to win it it all then you let him rest if he is gimpy at all. IMHO.

I wasn't even sure his eligibility but thought he was going to declare even though he was out injured this year.

He is a hell of a writer

I would have absolutely said yes on this prior to the second half of the Kentucky game.

Even when we don't play them, we are stealing their souls in football.

Guess they should have worn black?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Good news is the QB swithceroo won't be nearly effective this game.

I will never understand taking a chance with defensive starters when you are up 17 with 1:30 left on the clock. One stupid targeting call and we go a half without Simmons, Hill, Barron, Taafe, Sorrell, whomever. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Why is Simmons and our starters out there with 1:30 left in this game.

Ummm....Maybe it's my experience watching Mindhunter - but he already is

In fairness, there is usually one or two where I can't fathom what the fuck he was thinking. I mean 10-1 and I am a couch potato NCAA/Madden quality head coach, but I think there are many, many people more qualified than me who would agree with me on tthat.

I'm hoping this was Sark's mental fuck up game and we are good against Aggie.

That drive seems to confirm we are SEC ready.

Huge miss.

Or two.

Beginning to hate Sark's decision making here and Blue is no longer my boy.

Our fat guys love to fuck.

@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@# come on man
