Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Please Make It Stop
He was in the portal last year and Ole Miss snapped him up. I think it was Arkansas from which he hailed, and they were not excited to lose him, especially to a semi-rival. Texas never reached out to him. You continue to blurt out this drivel about "Ohio State would have just opened up the offense" when there is a mountain of evidence at this point that that, well, was their fucking offense. They needed to open it up against multiple other teams and couldn't really do it. You can cite advanced statistics as some sort of solve for your position and the rest of will continue to look at the scoreboards and question just what in the fuck it is you think you are highlighting. Keep tilting at those windmills though, we have only seen your take on this subject roughly 1700 times since early September.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Let's clear up some basic stuff here. 1) Nothing is being "publicized" because nothing is being done illegally. There's no there, there. Guys like Sydney and the rest of us can not like it, and it is an exploitation of a loophole in the current constructs of NIL compliance, but there's nothing to be done. Texas boosters have examined the same path and, while it still might be of use, found more straightforward ways to get players involved with NIL and businesses. 2) The only "cocksuckers" involved here are Cody Campbell, for being the biggest deceitful hypocrite this side of Alabama and LSU fans, in this whole charade, and you, for being the biggest whiny bitch on this board when anyone deigns to level criticism at your beloved shithole school and athletic program. You cannot have a genuine discussion when it comes to Tech and anything that might involve a critical dialogue. InsideTheRedRaiders is due west of here, about a 300 mile boring ass drive away on the Internet, and you can find a whole bunch of people like you, replete with the same room temperature IQ and insecurities about your weak pseudo-academic institution and try-hard athletic program. Hope that helps.

Various folks involved offline on all of this would have had you believe that he’d be the first guy in and signing with Texas during this cycle. There were gratuitous fantasy stories involving landing like 7-8 of these types circulating. They were a core reason I told everyone on this board, in this thread, that I am from Missouri on all of the “all in” silliness. It’s the same shit I heard in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Less than a third of any of it ever comes to fruition.

No, I read it. It was banal excuse-making instead of just owning it and being done with it. But now you’re going to reply to this as well and on and on and on.

Dude has been waiting a decade for just the right thing to post about, and we're going to get it. We don't need further bandwidth drain from you on this. Just say "I'm a fucktard" and move on. We all get it.

I would murder at least half of you for this guy. I’m assuming Ohio State and a pain in our ass next September.

Hummer is reporting that Coleman is done with his aggie visit and heading home. He may or may not take visits to USC and Tech, but at the moment, the momentum is with him choosing between Texas and A&M and being done with it. Of course the aggie posters on 247 believe that they're the big winners in this one.

Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
@Park Gothic has offered to pay up on the Livingstone bet of never getting to 750 yards receiving while on campus at Texas (the latter part explicitly stated by me on page 25 of this thread). I don't remember who else joined the bet other than @BurntOrange&White who owes me a burger and a snow cone. I should probably keep up better with the bets I place.

You overthink things, a lot. He has good durability and knows the difference between hurt and injured. That said, he shouldn't be and won't be the every down back. I expect they would use him in a range of plays and scheme between Keilan Robinson and Blue. Has Jakobi Brown (the other Florida back) signed with anyone? I am surprised Texas hasn't shown an interest. He's a bigger back and he's pretty good. I can't remember if he was hurt a lot or not, though. Marsh is someone I would consider at the top of the WR heap with a few others. I envy that signing.

I understand your POV, but let's be clear on a few things. 1) College students aren't "kids" unless they're a prodigy under the age of 17 or some other anomaly. These are adults, many of whom vote and can, or soon will be able to, buy drinks. When I was Livingstone's age, I was raising a kid and paying my way through McCombs simultaneously. "kids" are in HS and on down. 2) A CFB player at Texas has one of the best lives possible and is given every opportunity to turn that into a bright and wealthy future for themselves. They want for nothing, their ability to graduate is a well greased path, they get as much pussy as they could ever want, and they get to make every connection they could possibly desire. 3) Many of them, Livingstone included, are making more money than anyone their age outside of their sport are making anywhere, quite literally, in the world. They're making more than many people at any age will ever make in a year. In short, extending sympathy to these guys is well and good, but when they prove themselves to be entitled fuckheads with not only zero loyalty (fine), but a craven need to go out and then shit all over the program and people (many of these people are donors who ask for nothing in return except the implied "do good for us" on zero ROI NIL front) who extended them those opportunities, they deserve whatever vitriol comes their way short of personal threats and hate speech. They're professionals and it comes with the territory, Welcome to the world, "kids".

I really feel like all of the program dysfunction has been fixed. Flood seems like a new man, Banks seems to really be closing on coveted, top-line talent and Brandon Harris is already showing out with his portal performance. We’re winning the whole fucking thing in 2026, guys!!?!

Finally, a voice of reason around here. Where has this guy been?

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

2026 Texas Coaching/ Support Staff Thread
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.

Parker Livingstone
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.

2026 Texas Coaching/ Support Staff Thread
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.

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.

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

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.
