  1. How should I know?
  2. If Texas is actually involved, Gerry, Burton and Nahlin will all hear about it even if Texas isn’t saying much, simply because the guy is a product of THSFB. So on this particular recruitment, we might get some good insight. My point about draft stock was more than he was not allegedly happy with where things stood for his NFL prospects after getting a grade or feedback of some sort. Does that make him feel like he needs to be in front of a larger audience? Did they say route running sucked? Was the feedback that he’s unlikely to test well given their current data projections? No clue. The fact that ATM has become a black hole for WRs with respect to the NFL draft isn’t helping. One guy, going in the 5th round, getting taken in the last 6 drafts is a problem.
  3. I like the names of the guys we’re linked to and I am glad to see that Texas isn’t linked to many of the turds on the list. FSU and ATM are like a receptacle for those types.
  4. I actually think the Florida folks have been okay. Given that the universities are basically peers on the academic side and having very little history between the programs probably helps. Quite frankly, Florida should fucking love us. We help the academic rep of the conference and we handed them a rematch with FSU for the title in 1996. You’re welcome, gators. But yeah, I agree about the rest.
  5. I’m not saying you’re incorrect here, but allegedly the guy wants to improve his draft stock more than leverage his transfer for a payday. The payday is a given, of course, but if they think Texas moves the needle for him, there could be something there. Texas has kept its powder dry this portal period. They’re going to get aggressive with someone at some point, surely?
  6. I’m not trying to name 20 and didn’t make the comment, but the notion that Texas didn’t play numerous guys more talented than that roided up dwarf is just silly. Michigan - Johnson, Grant and Graham are probable top 40 picks Georgia - Mykel Williams, Jalon Walker, and Malaki Starks are all top two round prospects. Kentucky - The DT is highly graded. ATM - Turner, Stewart and Scourton are all highly graded. Clemson - Woods, Parker, and Carter are all highly graded guys. That’s 13 guys without much thought. If you want just offense, there are plenty of middle round grade guys that will go ahead of Skattebo. Loveland, Briningstool, Etienne, and Beck come immediately to mind. The guy had grit and heart and played well once the Texas defense was worn down, but he’s not some uber-talented star the likes of which we’ve never seen. As it stands, Texas will face 5 guys with more talent and higher NFL projections against OSU on offense next Friday. Jackson, Judkins, Henderson, Smith and Egbuka. Hell, maybe Tate as well.
  7. It stuns me that Kevin Mar and his crew get any kind of work, much less on an elevated level. They’re dreadful. Beamer was acting like an outraged idiot all game, largely because he was getting outsmarted by a fat fucking retard.
  8. Who would you rather face in a tight game, Will Howard or Gabriel? OTOH, I’m not sure Oregon has a legitimate defense. I can’t really decide who I’d rather face, really. Didn’t they promptly go out and get drubbed by Texas Tech? I never understood their sense of entitlement. I warms my dark heart that they’re still upset about it. Revenge? I would not relish facing that dude again.
  9. His alleged problem is heavy drug use, not schizophrenia.
  10. With the attrition we’ve seen lately in college football coaching, is Bielema the greatest heel remaining? That shit yesterday cracked me up and I despise the guy. Beamer is a hack and deserves to be lampooned for whining the entire game about the legitimate usage of a rule. Going with the “hold me back, guys!!” approach from Beamer just made shit more hilarious. FFR would have dropped him with one King Hippo punch.
  11. Coach: closetojumping, congrats, you got honorable mention All-District. ctj: what does “honorable mention” mean, coach? Coach: it means that someone with honor mentioned you. ctj: uh, ok. Coach: just kidding! it means you were nominated for All-District and no one voted for you. [sad trombone]
  12. We can apply many criticisms to the Brockermeyers, but fearing clowns is not one of them. Any person of sound mind and body should absolutely fear clowns and stay vigilant in keeping them far away from themselves and their family.
  13. Watching the fawning posts on that thread on OTF truly nauseated me.
  14. You are a bizarrely obtuse poster, Codaxx, and I dig that about you.
  15. Wasn’t he one of the guys always talking shit about Texas during his early time on campus? Enjoy UTEP or New Mexico State, fatty.
  16. Either that or you are over-estimating PFF’s grading system. Any formula that spits out a result instructing the user to prefer Leavitt over Gabriel, Allar or Ewers for the go-forward this season should be immediately dismissed out of hand, rather than pointed to as a credible reference. You should have seen this first, and avoided the idiotic aftermath of attempting to use it anyway. “But that’s what the machine told me to think. It’s got a formula. It must be smarter than the rest of us. “ Right. Also, everyone here knows the guy is a competent QB. That’s factored into the knowledgeable observer’s outlook.
  17. I used this recipe as my base for chili I made last night. My changes were using a few more guallijo and ancho peppers, subbed arbol for chipotle (used what I had), added two crushed chicken bouillon cubes, three chopped serrano peppers and 16 oz of chopped tomatoes. That was the best chili I have ever tasted. Well done. I have British in-laws in town and a smart ass teenage son, and they were attempting to add beans and then I see my wife cooking rice. I refused the beans, of course, and convinced my FIL to try it on its own. My son never had any intentions of using beans, just irritating me for his own humor. My MIL still used her own cooked beans. Anywho, every adult, except for me, and my teenage son and daughter had complete seconds and my MIL skipped the beans the second time. It was a complete wipeout, with nothing for leftovers.
  18. That would have to be a paid gig and I’m not sure it could pay enough money.
  19. It’s funny, these guys keep selling Ojo and fail to even mention Katoa. At the same time, Gerry’s stated repeatedly that the 3 OL who could call and commit today are Turntine, Katoa, and Robertson.
  20. I’m waiting for the crowdsourcing for a lynch mob, replete with pitchforks, long knives and torches. I don’t think a tar-and-feathering will do. Maybe they’ll gather at the airport. ”There he is!! Get heem!!!”
  21. I don’t know if I had a very strong opinion of Mack Brown being around Texas after his UNC firing until catching up to this batshit crazy thread, but now I do. I hope CDC hires him promptly for a big role. This site will burn all the fucking way to the ground and it certainly reads like there will also be a ton of public drama as Camp Mack and Camp Twelve Win Theven spar at epic levels.
  22. Here’s Sir William Bartholomew Liucci IV with his latest sunshine pumping tweet that leads to another challenge to meet a fellow aggie for fisticuffs in the texags parking lot. The comments are excellent.
