  1. The lack of outgoing portals and especially the lone portal out being a portal in should tell you something about the buy in, culture and NIL structure in place to build a long term roster like Georgia and Alabama and Florida and Ohio State had during their dynasty-like runs. It's all about infrastructure, a system and a continuity factor regardless of personnel that gets you into a situation of long term sustained success.
  2. Juan was wide open for a TD on the tipped ball in the Cotton Bowl. He's not as worthless as you guys project and he was out there for a reason. I'm very surprised he didn't get the call on the 2nd down that was the worst playcall in history though, I really was expecting that to be a Juan is unaccounted for easy curl into the ez play or even a Juan power run formation. I'm obviously bias because Juan is also one of my favorite people and I've known him for 4 years now, but the dude did what he was asked and did it as well as you could hope for. I think the issue with Niblack is that he just wasn't really a fit for what Sark's TE do - sure physically he's more like JT than he was Gunnar, but with all the WR weapons on offense there wasn't really a need for a dude who is inline that can motion to empty set and run routes and catch and/or be downfield to block after a catch from other receivers and/or keep up in front of an RB in space. That's just not what Niblack was, he was a glorified receiver who wasn't good enough to be either a receiver or a TE
  3. This is kinda how it went down. Never said he was a bad teammate, but stupid is pretty easy to spot in the wild. Shannon and Washington are two guys who are going to be stepping up as well as the incoming class. I wouldn't sleep on what's already here.
  4. this changes quite a bit for everyone, Texas just happens to have infrastructure in place where this is not that big of an issue. Donor fatigue is real, collectives have been folding left and right etc. What's good for Texas or a non-issue isn't necessarily the same thing as saying it's something that overall makes the sport healthier. This clearly isn't a violation of Title IX by the spirit or letter of the law and they stretched revenue sharing to be assistance. It is overall good for everyone if they can charge $5 per ticket for NIL and then just pay the players out of that fund, it's not bad for anyone. It allows for a healthy revenue distribution model that comes from the people that pay for the whole thing anyway, the fans. Eventually it becomes impossible to justify 30M a year without a return, the return is obvious for an AD, they have revenues. Donors get nothing but warm and fuzzies for donating, and donating to a collective while it gets you LHF points, doesn't do much else in the way of "returns". This title xi ruling effectively makes it unsustainable for any schools except those with billionaires who have just endowed the NIL fund to succeed. It also makes collective bargaining extremely difficult, because you can just go do whatever you want with 3rd parties. There's no way that UT is going to spend 10M on fb and mbb and then another 10M on womens sports NIL, it's a terrible use of funds and effectively makes the 20M settlement completely stupid. There's so much wrong with this ruling it's hard to even get started, but it does ruin a ton of plans for 2025 and it throws an enormous wrench in getting NCAAF into a well regulated state where you don't just have the NY Yankees effect.
  5. lol, coulda told you that was coming at the beginning of last season when he just didn't even want to join burnt ends for no reason and ghosted and the response from the rest of the guys was "yeah, not worth talking to him about"
  6. I have one. I'll upload it later.
  7. This is the dumbest shit I've ever read in my life. These people are completely disconnected from reality.
  8. Yeah, this is the worst ruling ever. The NCAA may actually fail because of this.
  9. I feel great about where we are from a TE perspective. We've gotta figure out the burnt ends dinner. Does someone in Austin have any access to the austonian? I would like to use their event space for it, but it only makes sense if we get the resident sponsored rate. If not we can do it at San Jac Saloon again.
  10. I mean the sky fell yesterday IDK how today could possibly be any worse....
  11. Do we change the thread title?
  12. Actually sounds great right about now.
  13. Also, this thread isn't the catch all bitch about the season thread like the Quinn thread became. I'm gonna make another 2025 season catchall thread and just aggressively split posts that are unrelated to Arch out of this one.
  14. Bro, Sam Ehlinger has entered the chat.
  15. It's hosted here what do you mean? Right click on it and share on desktop on mobile the link is harder to get let me see if I can figure out an easy way to copy it.
  16. He's beyond redemption now. This wasnt a nail in a coffin it was jumping off the grand canyon.
  17. In 3 months this guy went from being set for life to completely ruined life.
  18. I laughed out loud when I saw the image, then the subsequent posts.
  19. Treedfiddy expired?
  20. Just seeing this. Will do now.
  21. I don't think this is possible.
  22. Any difference today. It seems like it's flying to me.
  23. a good way to have nearly no legacy at Texas is to transfer portal somewhere else and play another season. Either win it all and do it somewhere else against Texas or don't and cement yourself as a guy who couldn't get it done. I don't see a reason why unless he really just thinks he sucks and won't make it in the NFL (I don't think that's the case) You gotta go to the NFL here, there's really very little upside to coming back to NCAA and not coming back to Texas.
