I might be wrong, but I don't think he visited Tech his recruitment cycle so I can see him deciding to at least take a look. But after being at tOSU for a year, Tech's facilities are probably underwhelming. Him naming the 3 Texas schools is likely because he found Columbus underwhelming and decided the state of Texas is where he wants to play. I would say Texas is in the lead, but aggy is a very close second. But I believe Sark feels him in.

Kids got somewhat of a Simms type arm but probably more accurate. He can make all the throws either from the pocket or while on the move. He doesn't have happy feet but is quick enough to pick up yards on the ground if the opportunity is there... With him behind center with worthy being the threat he is, Bijan would have tons of daylight because he consistently hits receivers in stride with the deep ball. He's quick at finding targets and getting rid of the ball. Even after missing half his senior year due to an injury, he was still the number one overall recruit in his class and is considered one of the best all time. It seems the only reason he hit the portal is because after the season the OSU QB had this year, there won't be an open battle for the spot going into spring. So him transferring is understandable because as long as he lives up to his potential, he should easily be a high first rounder, if not the #1 overall when he declares.

We need him. He was one of the few to score a perfect 1000. We know how the last one we had worked out.

His source is Texas Tech insider.... USC is a bigger threat... But I believe he is Sark's to lose at this time.

And yet, Tech was never on his list

We almost had Eli instead of Simms. I wonder how that would have gone...

Called this a week and a half ago. Now reel him in, god dammit.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing

A little off topic, but a couple of months after the last time we played OSU, I was on a flight back from Montana to Michigan. A chic in a buckeye hoodie and another passenger sitting in front of my row where making small talk about football. I had them tuned out until the buckeye chic, and I quote, " now Texas, we are starting to form a complex with"... It made me smile. Oh how I miss those days.

Haha... Any schedule is a potential disaster schedule.

Saban will throw us one. An early ooc loss isn't going to damage his season, just to fuck with aggy before obliterating them. Yeah, sounds about right... Sure

Shut your whore mouth! If that happens, I'll make it official. Mack Brown sold our soul to the devil who collected about a dozen years ago.

Haha. Just caught that. It was in small town USA. He's dead now.

This isn't your granddaddy's ND anymore.

One business? Hell, they barely investigate that. I knew someone who burned down two houses, a laundryman and a restaurant in the span of about 15 years and got away with it. He was planning on burning down another restaurant but got scared he wouldn't get away with it. I'm not sure how true this part is, but I was told he used hairspray as the accelerant on electrical fires in the houses once in the bedroom and once in the bathroom.

Jimbo should bail now... That no buyout clause is already worth a mil or two extra on his next stop. Since I saved you 25 - 30 million on a buyout, I'll take the job at 13 mil a year if we split that savings... Cash... No paper trail... If it ever shows up in an audit, tell them it was soaked in aggy tears and damn a hoard of longhorn fans gobbled it all up like it was penny pitcher night at the strip club with no cover. Couldn't stop them and they were safe COVID protocol so can't ID any of them either.

I wouldn't be shocked if someone poached Elko. He's basically the only reason they are 8-4 and not 4-8... Aggy trotting out their 3 int king, savior with a young and inexperienced defense in a new scheme? Struggle into the third before putting away SamHous, then drop back to backs against App St and Miami before getting treated like a sheep by Arkansas? Jimbo might not make it to October. ... It doesn't really matter how their cupcakes play out. Arkansas then the Pirate's house, followed by a trip to a pissed off Satan's den? Probably 3 and 3 at this point with aggy holding it together, but there is as good of a chance they are 2-4 with aggy really starting to panic, rebuild season or not. No matter how big aggy always liked to talk, our move to the SEC is imminent and their boosters are old enough to remember we've had long stretches of being down like this, but we've always found a way to turn ("cheat") it around and come back with a vengeance. Aggy really believes we are the sole reason they have never been able to rightfully take their seat among the Blue Bloods, so deep inside they they honestly believe they have to crest the hill before we move over. They really believed the NCs would start to roll in once they got away from us. Now they just want a conference title appearance before we can hold them down again. 3-3 will be acceptable because it's not a losing season yet, but 2-4 will have many hunting for the eject button. The South Carolina game could become the make or break Jimbo game because Ol Miss will feast on their young defense and the trip to Auburn will probably be another L. So a late season win against U Mass isn't going to impress the boosters. Maybe sweeping Florida, U Mass and LSU will keep enough boosters on the fence at the end of the season, but the expectations going into the 2023 season will be awesome... Unless he's a better coach than what I believe he is, in one or maybe two years it will be a wrap, because King is no king crab legs...

Have a drink, sit back and enjoy the chaos. I think I'm still venging since the OU debacle... All bullshit aside, it's an eye opener how many top coaches are willing to jump on these openings, but when we... It says a lot about how top coaches view our HC position.. We have some major issues top level coaches want no part of. We've become a high risk/reward gamble no upper level coach is willing to risk their career on, so we are stuck with untried or second chance coaches willing to go big or go home.

Not so much when a monkey, another team's victory over your rival and and a coaching carousel you aren't part of is the best parts of your season.

Do any of them even know there is a school side (alums included)?

Some App magic and a loss to Miami would be priceless. That could set the tone for a brutal fight with Vandy for the next to last place in the SEC... Let there be a God.

We're Texas. We are going to get special treatment and be given our own pod. The winner of spring game wins the pod. Pooor aggy. Should've thought of this first!

We used to be one of those... First was NCs baby... Then came CCs... Followed shortly by "beat OU" for gods sake... Now we are at please just win this one...

I'm kinda surprised Jimbo didn't jump at one of the big openings. He's losing a shit ton of players. Rebuild or not, a .500 season or worse and aggy will start to lose their shit. Especially if Sark gets it pointed in the right direction and pulls off 8 or 9 wins (not likely)... Even if aggy holds it together next year as a rebuild, they will expect 9 or more wins the following, which will likely land him on a very hot seat and a possible/probable firing. His stock will tank. Should strike while it's hot... Or maybe it's his retirement plan.
