Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Yeah. It’s been almost five years since I heard it. It made me a regular listener except for whenever they go political. I need to listen to the first one again. They also have the part where Shepard talks about beating Wayz, which was funny and hit home as well. -
Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Kudos for looking him up. I've started just winging it when I see them breaking down or updating on someone of whom I'm not familiar. I stand by my position that this guy is more likely to become an award-winning James Beard nominated chef than a middling or better OT in the SEC. -
Can't remember if it has been mentioned or not, but Jayden Gibson tore his patellar tendon in one of his knees. That's coming off the torn ACL that knocked him out of last season in August. There's a ton of speculation that he'll never play again for OU. Anyways, their WR room looks like warmed over dogshit.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
The post-spring OT evaluation is grim enough for further concern with Tarp. This guy is one "Reuben Owens almost got a pass block" kind of missive away from driving over to the Texags office adjacent to the AD building, getting out of his I-Roc while it is still running, sitting down cross-legged in front of the building, dousing himself in gasoline and striking a match. It is almost impossible to spin how shitty their OT situation looks after the spring game. 1) Zuhn is hurt and didn't play. He was easily their best-performing OT in the stadium on Saturday. 2) Fatheree is far shittier now than when he showed up on campus. Tarp appears to take some sort of shot at this guy for becoming a rotund glutton. 3) Crownover is productive when the opposing defense has their 4th team in during garbage time. 4) There's some French guy on their roster who is too tall to be effective but makes the best beouf bourguignon in the greater Bryan College Station area. 5) Lamont Rogers was seen crying on the sidelines after getting buttfucked by a walk-on in plain sight to the 200 fans in attendance. -

The very first Smartless episod, the one with Dax Shepard. Will Arnett and Shepard talk about working on a film with Don Johnson. It's like the second half of the episode. It's one of the funniest fucking things I have ever heard. -

Here is one of the funniest updates of the spring from Tarp regarding the TEs, spoilered below. Highlights: a) the overall melancholy tone and then the general indifference in the arguments again have me worried for Tarpley's mental health. b) the apparent star TE coming out of the spring is some dude that Nebraska pulled from the field in passing situations. Tarp talks about him being a real surprise and the probable starter. c) Niblack is shockingly unwilling to block, doesn't run routes well or know the playbook, and will be the 3rd TE they use, usually split out and looking suspiciously like an X receiver who can only run seam routes. d) the Swedish dude is mediocre incarnate. e) Armstrong is a big bully who melted down once he had to get low on blocks. He also apparently sucks on route running and his hands are sketchy. No doubt this staff is up to snuff on the development end though. f) one of the guys they actually recruited and signed, so I'm sure there are comical takes talking about him being a diamond in the rough or some shit, Eric Karner, is mentioned in this piece as basically a JAGger who will never play. He's since entered the portal. -
Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

The conspiracy around the tampering evidence and the aggies "waiting for the right moment" reminds me of the cults who think the end of the world is on the brink of occurring. It's all coming together. Right. If the aggies had a shred of evidence about that shit, every dork within their AD would be running to meet every dork they have in the media to share the info and exclaim "WE GOT HEEM!!" That last set of images has everything. Conspiracies, self-loathing, the beginning of worshipping Earley by noting that he looked upset to be in Austin before they welcomed him back, little dick insecurities, claiming that Texas controls the NCAA, projecting all kinds of terrible traits onto Schlossnagle in a manor that virtually demonizes him (they're trending towards convincing themselves that he's a devil worshiper and turning that into an aggie fact - if Texas rolls this weekend, this is the next logical step), claiming that the runner-up title run was in spite of the HC who was probably trying to lose, and then some of the raw, uncut dope from a few aggies where they confess to actual hatred of UT and those associated to the point where it is hard for them to function around UT grads. Just outstanding. -

I wouldn’t call it donor fatigue in this case. The dude is doing plenty of donating. If Elko wants to go get a highly sought player and join a bidding war, he’s going to have to show he can post something better than 8-5 and a losing streak to close out a season. -

Below. One thing folks don’t seem to be accounting for, including the moron you’re referencing, is that grad transfers are not bound by the portal timelines. They can decide to transfer whenever the fuck they like. -

1) Aggie95 is 100% incorrect on the patronage of NIL for ATM. They have a billionaire funding most of it. He’s young and Forbes hasn’t caught on yet, but they’ll track him eventually. He helped sign all of Fisher’s classes and then he okayed the Fisher firing, is paying a lot of the buyout and partnered with Liucci to kill the Stoops hiring. I know the guy personally. Great dude, highly intelligent, self-made. He’s not a schmuck, though and he wants to see solid direction in the program before he lets them go nuts like 2022 again. 2) Beveridge isn’t really involved with NIL. He’s done some stuff, but with sponsorship only. Booze companies cannot be involved directly with players. This is those idiots manufacturing a premise and then committing their entire community to adopting it as fact. 3) The mention of Hildebrandt is also laughable. That dude told us “no” straight up and has had every reason one can imagine to avoid helping. Dude played at Texas and is buddies with CDC, but he’s not going to transfer any wealth to young athletes inside the machine at Texas. 4) Good luck to the imbeciles who think their 16 returners are worth a shit. This is going be hilarious. 5) For Texas, there are multiple major donors helping at this point, plus corporate, plus significant crowdfunding and mid-level donors too. Those aggies are laughably clueless and they have no idea how far behind they really are. It is gratifying to see. -

My belief is that he's doing work for Sarkisian with this stuff. They want Butler gone and now this post leads me to think something similar for Niblett.

At an FCS school? Sure. The guy is fucking tiny and focused almost completely on track. He make Brenan Thompson look swole. It was a truly stupid take from ATM that also cost them money. -
Here is an article from Sooner Illustrated talking about the transfers they're looking at in the portal. All of these guys are FCS guys. OU is focusing on these types because they're cheap and, allegedly, Nagy thinks he's arbitraging the rest of big time college football because he's a true evaluator and there are diamonds in the rough at the lower level that he's finding. I've also included a post from one of their established posters where he's more honest about what he's seeing. Be careful reading this shit because you might OD consuming this much hilarious OU shit in one reading session. Holy shit. " Rcsodak said... (original post) Williams is a 0 star transfer. What do they see in him that nobody else does? I'm perplexed. We aren't acting like a serious program. Everyone lambasted Riley for losing in the playoffs but that dude tampered like a mofo. This is all a hype beast until Nov where the “injuries” pile up in a violent sport. I'm an optimistic guy in life. Orphaned, created an amazing family, and company blah blah blah. I've never see a company this mismanaged like OU in such a short time. Jim is a great step but it is run by geriatrics and buffoons. Literally another mod at a reputable sooner site tonight said half the staff would leave for a HC job at a HS bc of NIL and portal. That's not the Mamba mentality to win 8. Maybe 8 wins which everyone will geek out over. Not my MO. Love the Sooners since 82 but our big dubs are Stone coming back, Jim ( win) and the HC who doesn't know how to be a HC saying he's the DC bc the OSU DC played us while the protege left for WVU and the horny Rich Rod. Wild times."

Here's an article by Tarp about the ATM CBs and NBs, post-spring practices. They seem to believe that this part of the roster is a team strength. I see 1 guy (Lee) that Texas would actually take if they entered the portal and about 3-4 others that would probably get a look (Chappell, maybe Currie or the other freshman?). It's true, they have much shittier units, I guess. -

Spoilered below is a half-hearted article by the Aggie 247 staff. Earnest Campbell, the tiny speedster that they touted as the next Bullet Bob Hayes, is now in the portal. Their WR room is down one more midget with wheels, and no one of size or merit heading in as a replacement. They're also bringing in JAG from FCS at LB. The minute he commits, commands for tape-watching will commence as The Elk continues to do work. Not productive work, mind you, but that fatass is undeniably working on something. Anything. Surely? -

Niblett is more of a Scatback/RB3 type than true WR at this point. I'll be pretty surprised if Niblett and Butler are each still on the roster by Monday. They don't seem to want Niblett to leave, but they don't know what to do with him, either. Butler, seems like what they want to do with him is to have him stand in just the right spot in Sarkisian's office, just as one of Sarkisian's minions pulls the trapdoor lever, hidden behind a two-way mirror in the next room. I would not be surprised if the number is 8 heading into the fall, with part of that being a new guy that is an instant starter who enables you and the others that have been squatting to pee about the WR room to pull yourselves together and stand up straight once again. -
Hopefully the Falcons aren't dumb enough to draft Shemar Stewart. Good lord.

Things are moving philosophically with Akina onboard. There are numerous guys moving around in the secondary and getting reps at multiple positions, as I understand it. I don't think there is a sense that they can improve upon what they have in the room by doing anything in the portal. Texas has 9 guys that have gotten reps at Safety + Jonah Williams. Taaffe is a returning AA, McDonald and Derek Williams have that potential. They like the younger guys too. This doesn't even include Santana Wilson, who could looks at Safety and Nickel if they need to keep him away from the portal next year. WR and OL are the only two spots to watch unless either Texas loses a key guy at another position, or a guy enters the portal that everyone feels they have to go after. -

What he really meant to say is that they're loaded with talent, but they lack experience, at CB. Bringing someone in over the top of the guys in that room wasn't going to do the roster any favors and it isn't particularly merited. What they'll be fielding in the fall is highly likely to be better than the UH CB. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play

Buffalo MSA - 1.166M, 49th nationally Austin MSA - 2.743M, 26th nationally As of 2020. No one needs to tell him anything. He'll figure it out pretty quickly, I'm sure. -
Awesome. Chris Beard can go fuck himself.
