  1. Finally, a voice of reason around here. Where has this guy been?
  2. You’re not responding to someone who would be speculating. And while you might have missed it while sniffing jocks, there was plenty of discussions about Bond’s attitude heading into the 2024 season.
  3. No one who has filed the paperwork and put their name in the portal has ever returned to the Texas roster. I’m assuming that will continue to be the case. Now, yeah, guys have come to their senses and Texas has taken them back, such as Blue and perhaps D Williams.
  4. So I came home from a trip today and find an anonymous gift on my doorstep. I had one of my kids open it in case one of my enemies was trying to take me out. Luckily, all clear. Instead, photos attached of what is undoubtedly a @HenryJames special. Strong work. It’s going to be worth a fortune some day.
  5. Well, just in case folks aren’t getting it, and I don’t think folks really are, here’s one for you. The scouts really liked the King guy from Wyoming. Thought he’d be a good scheme fit and had great technique. So he gets in the portal and his first visit he’s invited to is Texas. The guy shows up for the visit and Flood immediately nixes him as a candidate for a scholarship. Not big enough. I, for one, wholeheartedly trust Flood at this point to crush his evaluations through the eye test versus the work the scouting team has put in watching hundreds of hours of tape over the past few months. Woo woo!!! Wooooo!!
  6. I don’t blame Jaggy for asking for what he thinks he’s worth. I don’t blame Texas for making a firm offer that he could take and standing on it. I don’t blame Jaggy for deciding he’d rather try on the open market. I don’t blame Texas for letting him walk. That said, Jaggy McJaggerson can go get fucked and never make it out of obscurity for turning this into a victimhood, clubhouse lawyer play. He attempted to politic for his buddies to go in and take a stand for him to get what he thought he was due. He then went to the press and known writers who salivate over the opportunity to paint any blue blood as an evil machine. Then he cozies up with OU? Yeah, fuck you, dipshit. Go drop passes and be a wealthy redneck wannabe somewhere else.
  7. You seem like an IT stan asking a loaded question thinking that you already know the answer, so get fucked with this ignorant shit, dude.
  8. I’m sure plenty can, it’s just that you definitely aren’t one of them. There’s nothing “tough” about calling you out for shit takes, in any event. It feels aggressive to you because you’re an emotional baby, but it’s pretty standard shit for keeping proper forum hygiene. Bad takes should be called out, especially when they’re shading the program the board exists for in the first place.
  9. Dude, that’s hilarious! If you had someone tell you directly that they were going to steal a friend of yours IP and what he is paid to produce, you’d just tip the cap and welcome it. Is that what you think you read? That this was a Nahlin function? Two doctors, two excellent takes.
  10. Implying that I beat my wife as a reaction to me writing a post calling your stupid take a stupid fucking take is the kind of weak shit I would expect from a dipshit like you. You’re terrified of confrontation of any sort, so your defensive reactions when confronted for having shit takes are bad attempts at indifferent AI and graph comedy and/or attempting to shame someone with your projection of what might gain sentiment in your favor from other readers. I know it hurts to be such a fucking imbecile and to be called on it, but there are two easy ways out: 1) just realize you don’t know shit about football and stop trying to join discussions as though you do. or 2) when called out of for having a shit take, just admit that you don’t know shit and had a shit take.
  11. Texas starters were signed out of high school by Texas to the tune of 82+% over the last 3 seasons. Do you have any idea how uninformed and dipshitted you sound when you try to discuss actual football being played at Texas? It doesn’t seem like you do. Inherently, 50% of any signing class isn’t panning out, for anyone. A class that ultimately produces anything north of 65% producers for a program is considered something akin to a unicorn. In the age of the portal and NIL, having more than 4/5s of your starters signed out of HS on 10+ win teams is extraordinary. In short, stick to your AI slop and shut the fuck up with your ignorant nonsense when it comes to UT football, you ignorant Westlake honk
  12. I’m stunned, I’m pissed, it’s Dakorian Moore.
  13. With as much faith as I have lost in Flood, anything is possible, but best case is a free backup. It doesn’t seem like all of the portalers for Texas have been entered or perhaps even figured out that they are portalers at all.
  14. He showed up to hear Gerry speak about recruiting and then he was going to reuse the info on Recruitocosm as his own. Justified it with the ol’everybody does it maneuver. Par for the course with him.
  15. It’s never a good sign for the aggies once Brauninger starts in with the “I’ve talked to folks who live near recruit X and they say it would be very unlike him to decide on a favorite at this time” type takes.
  16. He’s a pussy. We got into a disagreement that he escalated at a happy hour function. I offered to take it outside. He panicked, had people intervene in the altercation and then he Irish goodbyed the whole group as fast as he could. Being angry doesn’t make one a badass. I doubt he’s been in a fight in his life.
  17. I didn’t read any of this. It’s all made up and guesswork. No one inside the AD talks to that bloated piece of shit.
  18. Ohio State finished 2nd the first time for Perich. He’s an excellent player and I assume that OSU does what it takes to land him in order to replace Downs, even if that’s an impossible task. I would love for Texas to sign that guy.
  19. This builds on my prior point. OB is run by the dumbest motherfuckers in the realm of Texas sports.
  20. There’s a better than absurd chance that Orangebloods is being fed purposely misleading information.
  21. I’ve dealt with Nahlin in person when he’s started himself a heater. He was an absolute pussy. I’ve dealt with Nahlin online when he’s on a heater. He is the biggest fucking badass the Internet has ever seen. That dude should wake up every day thanking God for Geoff Ketchum, because otherwise, he’d be the biggest shitbag in longhorn netdom.
  22. No one on this site wishes for Texas to not land Coleman if he’s a key target. If Sarkisian has all of the access to capital that landing him implies, awesome. If he’s being signed and then we hear the poormouthing about other key targets heading elsewhere, that’s less than optimal. I pointed out that the guy will frustrate people for the same reasons that Wingo does. I did it in a semi-cartoonish manner and now people have started to develop Surly facts that maybe he sucks and we shouldn’t want him. If the guy signs with Texas, with Jaggy McJaggerson leaving, he’s going to become my absurdist whipping boy for 2026. He’ll have to hold onto the pen long enough to sign the contract, so there’s still plenty of risk on this one not getting done.
  23. I was about to board the Tron ride this morning with my wife and kids. The riders ahead of us go to get on the ride and I noticed that one dude looked like he was clocking in around 350 pounds. “Man, that guy sat in the test seat and fit? Wow. “ 5 minutes later, they still couldn’t get his fat ass harnessed in and he’s yelling at the workers to “just run it anyway, I’ll be fine, goddammit!” as more workers arrived to usher him off stage left. Shut the ride down for almost 10 minutes. Perhaps because I was reading Surly while waiting, I actually thought “hell, that very well could have been Mike Elko”.
  24. Hey, man, you’re the Portal Pirate, you tell us.
