I had the idea, did a quick search and then typed something out in 2 minutes before a call. Obviously I meant Boyz N the Hood.

@SquishMitten can offer a better opinion. The day has always likely been coming, but there's safe harbor for everyone who participated before anything gets rescinded, I believe.

I don't see how either of those guys carries the day at QB3 through the draft. A lot of people expect Milroe to do well at the combine, but I could see him being a disaster in the throwing drills.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread

Somebody thought enough of you to marry you and have your baby? Is she a goth/emo type that thinks the world is always about to end? Congrats on both, regardless. I'm actually amused at the notion of some chippy, happy-go-lucky woman discovering sarvanash in their company's accounting or engineering department and thinking that she can fix him. Or maybe in real life, sarvanash is like the funnest, chirpiest guy at the office. It's only on Surly in which he shows his deep, dark, "it's the end of the world as we know it" self.- 219 replies

Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Did they do one after ATM lost to Baylor in 2004 or did they stop doing them after Slocum was fired? -
I looked and couldn't find a thread on this. If there is one, ban me and delete my account, I guess. Anyway, I just watched The Departed for like the 15th time the other day and thought about this. Not just the mafia, but any gangster movie. There are tons. Here are my top 5: 1) The Godfather II 2) The Departed 3) The Godfather 4) The Untouchables 5) Snatch Thought about Boyz N the Hood and Road To Perdition in there too. Good Fellas and at least Scarface could be "closetojumping is a dipshit" omissions, I guess. Also, Pulp Fiction isn't a gangster movie.

This is doing it right. I've had almost the exact same meals at GW Fins and Clancy's. The food makes it worth it. I'm salivating right now thinking about a meal there. I'd much rather have a place that gets the food right and doesn't nail the atmosphere than vice versa. Now a bar? I'd probably flip that.

Given OU's dominance over the sport, I don't think anyone was wrong to have slotted them at #1. I don't always think that for returning champs, but geez.

Carnell Tate stayed and many thought he'd transfer. Ohio State is kind of like Texas and Georgia in that they lose a lot, but they also return a lot of talent. Georgia got really hammered and loses 18 of 22 starters. Texas lost 13/14 and OSU lost like 16. They return Downs and Styles on defense, losing the other 9 starters. They return Smith, Tate, and 3 OL but they lost the other 6 on offense, including weapons Judkins, Henderson, and Egbuka, and both OTs and the injured OTs before them. They brought in quality transfers at TE, RB, and 2 OT. They'll be playing with an inexperienced freshman at QB unless they buy one in the spring window. The defense is a complete rebuild with a new coordinator. I think Ohio State will be a top 20 next year, with potential to go top 10 if the transfers fit, the OC and DC hires are great, and the QB is worthy of the hype. They've basically not been out of the top 25 in over a decade, so I'm not going to bother considering a real downside for those shitheads. Of course, it's almost impossible to really think through any team's 2025 outlook until the spring portal closes.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

Gerry posted what I would call an extremely bullish 50/50 list yesterday. 50/50 meaning that, right now, Texas has as good of a shot at landing each of these as anyone. That would also mean that Texas is likely signing the top class in the country again if they land most of these dudes.- 1737 replies

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
closetojumping replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
He’s a volume recruiter that can land 5 stars as well as anyone. These people negging his coaching skills are also idiots. There isn’t another coach for that position that anyone here can confidently state would be an upgrade. Also, @Codaxx saying the RB “lacks star power” is fucking dumb. Baxter was a budding star and the number 1 RB recruit in the country. His loss was discussed nationally from the day it happened through the end of the year. Gibson was also highly rated and Wisner is now a known asset with anyone covering the sport or watching games. Just a fucking dumb take.- 219 replies

Their decline in relevance predates NIL. The rise of the street agent in the mid 00’s drove HS coaching relevance decline. NIL just iced it. -
That KenPom is full of shit, man.

I count 15 out of 29. Where is the 31 coming from? Clearly, Gerry thinks Mater Dei is loaded and Texas can feast.
