  1. Regarding TB, there is a better than zero chance of a Roshon Johnson scenario playing out in the spring as well. Sarkisian is fucking creative, so there’s that.
  2. I’m wondering if that’s more coming from the MH side than anything. Not saying that for certain, but I asked about him recently. The view then was that: 1) he didn’t handle his relationships with Texas folks all that well in the first place, which can always be overcome but … 2) there are always so many good WR options in the portal that the expectation is that speedsters with stats will be the priority, same as this year. 3) the Big 12 and ACC as additional farm systems only amplifies that upside. I guess we’ll see. I know you have reliable info as well. Good to have multiple data points for the board.
  3. He’s got NIL deals now. He’s making 7 figures. Have no illusions about the PR of autographed card revenue going to charity, there’s plenty going into the account for other efforts these days. This is an accurate post. Cooper Manning has holdings that far exceed the public estimations. They all do and they’ve supposedly gone in together through family office stuff on numerous RE and PE investments. All of their kids and grandkids and their grandkids are set. The reality is that there is always more money to be made when people and entities are throwing new money-making opportunities at you. Sure. But that is also true as the starting QB at Texas. Arch Manning is going to make 1st round QB money or better each and every year he remains the starter at Texas. I think he’s going to be the first non-Livy Dunne 8 figure NIL per year earner without any support for that from TOF or other booster support. We’ll see, but it wouldn’t be a crazy jump from here.
  4. Gerry and Bobby seem to be developing the position that Texas is going to take McCutcheon. I’m guessing he’s the “hi” and we’ll hear more about it soon. That take leads to the next take that likely one WR role will be targeted in the portal, likely the fastest guy available with some proven numbers. No one has a clue yet who that will be, but it is a given that several fitting this description will be there.
  5. I’ve negged you for threadshitting. This thread had jack shit to do with the astros and sign stealing. You attempted to derail the discussion. Negged. Get right or get fucked. If you were on the Astros cheating thread with your plaintive whines about folks holding Pete Rose in judgment while the Astros committed these apparent sign-stealing atrocities, I’d not be present.
  6. One guy is, and I’m negging him for doing. I hope he keeps posting.
  7. Love the relativists who equate betting on one’s own team while being able to impact that outcome with sign stealing. Sure, man, those are the same thing.
  8. He obviously has first ballot hall of fame numbers but for the betting on games, including his own, part. I said he was overrated, not that he sucked.
  9. He was a slap hitter who played a long time. Most of his records are counting stats. He had a few MVP-type seasons and otherwise just hung around for 24+ seasons. Less than 200 homers, less than 200 stolen bases. Took out a defenseless player in a meaningless all star game and ruined that guy’s career. Fuck him.
  10. He was a gritty, overrated shitheel. I remember watching him break Cobb’s record and my dad muttering that he was a son of a bitch for what he did to Ray Fosse.
  11. I would take Ewers or Milroe now, and punt on the others, depending upon my circumstances. If Ewers goes somewhere with OL problems, I assume he’ll be a bust who can’t stay healthy. Ward allegedly had a mid-round grade this past cycle. Now he’s a 1st rounder? He didn’t look like one to me on Friday. Whatever. I assume you meant Beck instead of one of one of the Wards. He looks the part but that’s it, to me. Nope. I wouldn’t touch Sanders with a 10 foot pole.
  12. Missouri has a WR corps and a QB that should knife through the ATM back seven if the Mizzou OL can handle the DL. It could actually get ugly if the QB is on point this Saturday. Separately, Mizzou has a pretty damned good defense.
  13. They were pissed at the dude and vaguely threw shade in public. It’s crazy how well things have gone for him this year. This kind of thing pretty much never happened with prior regimes. Dude goes into the doghouse as a role player, write that dude off. Not today, apparently.
  14. I’m sure Dane still has Weigman in that smaller group of first rounders, though.
  15. That last set of posts is just amazing. The guy blaming some AP poll posting glitch on a “sip” operative made me laugh out loud. That has to be a troll, right? If it wasn’t an aggie, I’d be certain that that post was a troll job.
  16. Good thoughts. The fact that this dude is just scratching the surface of his capabilities is pretty damned exciting.
  17. 1) That one dude seems right regarding McCutcheon not being a take. I like the guy as a prospect, personally. I also liked Chase, who I think is headed to OU. DM is a back burner/slowplay for Banks and Sarkisian while they continue to target higher ranked guys committed elsewhere. I’m not going to be surprised if Jackson is a little irritated with this situation and cycle. 2) The McGuire guy is interesting on two fronts. a) He’s redefining the term “Black Irish”, for sure. b) They must see something they really like besides just his massive size that no doubt gets Flood more excited than it should. They’re running the guy through the program as fast as they can, I think. No redshirt, garbage minutes, no buzz. Parker Livingstone came to Texas to do two things: 1) Slay as much pussy as quickly as possible. 2) Stand on the sidelines of Texas games and cheer on the non-JAGgers getting playing time and making plays. This fucking guy is absolutely crushing it. Good for him.
  18. It’s not the thread, doofus. It’s the actual concept of how forums work. There’s a political forum where boring political comparisons and bad political jokes can be made. You can go there and even use really lame nicknames for the candidates you like or don’t like. It’s apparently a total blast for those so inclined. And then you have everything else here where the rest of us just don’t find it amusing, and it’s almost always divisive. So when you bring it out of that forum, it’s fucking irritating. This isn’t some scenario where you get it and we don’t, or you’re right and none of us can see that. You aren’t smart enough to win here and you do not have high ground. Now get right or get fucked.
  19. You are correct. This is a thread of screenshots from aggie sites and then we all point and laugh in unison. What you seem to obliviously miss is that that’s all this is. No one here wants to read unfunny political shit, dummy. We don’t care what side the content is on, it doesn’t need to be here. So go get fucked by not owning your boring, uncreative bandwidth drain. Negged.
  20. I saw in the box score that Flacco is playing. What happened to Richardson?
  21. You say a lot of stupid shit and you do it at a rapid, voluminous rate. You’re like a shit howitzer, just fucking blasting the board with constant bullshit.
