  1. I feel like he’s always poor-mouthing though. I will say, I would be highly entertained by seeing the SEC get snubbed a 4th team. The hue and cry from these idiot-laced fanbases would be glorious.
  2. On the coaching change end, there’s also a serious expense attached to buying guys out in terms of those getting fired and potentially those getting hired. I don’t know to what extent the aggie assistants are covered by buyouts, but we all can see clearly that they’re really dumb with their money. If they’re going to fire a guy that is owed $1M in buyout money, that is going to drawn from the same supporters helping on NIL. For a glimpse on that, I read this morning that Joe Jon Finley is owed $1.95M if he’s fired at OU. Castiglione is usually far better with his deals than any idiot involved at ATM.
  3. Feel free to post about whoever is transferring. We don’t know who the staff might value at this point.
  4. I view the coaching change discussion as mostly fan fiction on the aggie end. They went 8-4 and The Elk isn’t likely to be wanting to just fire guys that he hired less than a year ago due to a few losses. Sarkisian didn’t face that kind of pressure after 5-7.
  5. There is a zero percent chance of Bama getting snubbed for an 11-2 SMU. Zero. You guys batting this notion around haven’t been paying attention. Time and again, the committees have gone out of their ways to fuck over any and all contenders for a SEC helmet team, particularly Bama. SMU brings nothing to the table over big brands with large audiences. They also do not deserve any form of benefit or the doubt. Beat Clemson or go get fucked.
  6. It is bad TV. I can’t remember who mentioned it, but one of the analysts on XM84 said a while back that the viewership analytics showed a lot of channel changing once injury timeouts became prevalent in a contest this season.
  7. Maybe this post and others like it are correct, but I can’t be the only guy that reads them and thinks “fuck this shit, Texas needs to beat Georgia and win the conference title”, can I?
  8. “Fire Elko!” ”Look at Nick Saban’s early coaching years as a guide for Elko’s future!” ”Let’s go back and dominate the Big 12 like we never have before!” ”Onward to the Big 10! Trust me, we’re in talks with them! It’s happening!” Texas A&M is the Wile E. Coyote of college sports. They’re like a fucking cartoon villain. It’s greatness.
  9. I love it when they start in on The Elk being a fatass and that’s a problem posts. That is uncut dope for me.
  10. Regarding corporate NIL, it's already a case of have's vs have-not's. I'm excited about it because Texas is probably the largest beneficiary of this and fuck everyone else. USC could be winning with it also, but that's only if they are ever worth a fuck. That might be it. Large city, no professional competition in any sport but soccer in UT's case, massive brand, massive brands for both the city and the state as well. Ewers is making millions this season in pure corporate NIL. A proven or hyped QB at Texas is guaranteed to make millions each year and likely into the 8 figures sooner or later. Other stars on the team will benefit nationally and value for players will trickle downward. That is a hard counter for small town teams unless they've built national branding. Alabama and Notre Dame have some of that, but not many others. Even still, those programs can't connect players to local Ferrari, Lambo or Maserati dealerships. There are numerous "local" entities that exist in Austin or Los Angeles that simply do not serve Tuscaloosa, South Bend or even Baton Rouge.
  11. You watch and read Texags daily and then bring some of those hawt takes over here as concerns. That’s not “hate watching”. That’s some sort of fetish. They’re trying to throw crazy money at Fasusi, Hilson and Townsend. They’ll finish in the top 10 by landing some or all of those guys. Elko isn’t a developer. He’s actually shitty at it if you look at draft results for him as a DC or HC. He’s a great X’s and O’s guy and he currently has a lot of NIL support. That doesn’t necessarily translate to getting better year over year. Most of their talent is in the draftable levels of the program. We’ll see how much of that is around and better next season.
  12. New here? I was intentionally vague because the current incident is not at all isolated.
  13. Why doesn’t the bag game exist in professional sports? When players have true transparency in how they’re going to be compensated, the effectiveness of offering their family something on the side for a pittance of that compensation, while risking suspension, isn’t going to be there. The black market currently still exists due to a lack of transparency in the process, and that causing ignorance and apprehension for the families. That opens the way handlers to get theirs.
  14. Why do you dipshits insist on arguing with proven imbeciles who belong on ignore?
