  1. He walked on SR Night. He’s certainly an exit possibility. I don’t know anything specific. It’s a given that if a guy hasn’t hit the portal, Texas is doing what it can to retain the player. They do the same with those who are late round and UFA NFL grades.
  2. The aggies on 247 are getting too close to getting it for my liking. I’m guessing at least 20% of the posters are calling the Humphrey take a bad reach, which it, of course, is. There’s also a bunch of anxiety about the TE take from Auburn. If some of them have an attitude about landing Hudson, then it might be time to worry.
  3. I agree. Nothing you wrote is in conflict with the post you quoted. It’s also something that wasn’t written about him during or after ‘22 or ‘23 because it would have been rightly mocked for inaccuracy. He’s made considerable gains this year and will likely be a mid-late round pick.
  4. Taffe sucked in 2022 and he was marginally better last year. He’s done a lot of work to transform his physical traits to match up to his instincts. The whole “it’s amazing how good he looks when the rest of the defense catches up with him” trope is just that.
  5. Gerry’s transfer update below. I don’t like Oregon being all over that Purdue TE. The rest of it would be awesome.
  6. The “secret” notion is just that the staff is locked down regarding the portal. They’re not divulging anything to anyone. Info is coming from players only. So some folks think one or more portal guys are on campus this weekend. Just don’t know who.
  7. The Velvet Fog! If I knew more or anything for sure, it’s not like I wouldn’t share it in some form. I cleared out the pedantry for a minute, at least.
  8. There’s potentially someone super secret on campus right now.
  9. Is this the lowest point of this thread so far?
  10. Dude, Spirited came out like last year.
  11. My bad on Spence. I’m daydrinking in New Orleans and was thinking he’s the DT they’re bringing in. Now I realize that’s Brevard. Sentiments are the same except if they land a LB of that quality, that would be a fucking coup.
  12. I can’t figure out which Scrooge is my favorite. I really like the classic George C. Scott version from the early 80’s. Then there’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol. I played Ebenezer in that version in 5th grade. Scrooged is really well done and Bill Murray is excellent. Then there’s Spirited, which I highly recommend.
  13. I’m thinking that’s what we’re going to wind up with - a bunch of Norton types that can play and be productive but aren’t going to win any awards. If a true difference-maker joins the portal party, maybe Texas tries to win a bidding war for one of the three or four spots. There is the same notion as last year that a few guys at different positions are earmarked for Texas if they jump in, but they have to jump in. My view is that 3-4 guys of Spence’s production level would be great anyway.
  14. If it helps, I wasn’t sure what in the fuck you were trying to say as you waded in either.
  15. ATM’s 247 mods are touting their returning roster and projected portal adds. They’re similar to many other site mods in which they view the portal as some sort of isolated location where only they get to plumb its treasures. They’re so disadvantaged that it’s not even funny. What do these idiots really have to sell? College Station? The Elk? NIL like everyone else? The SEC like 15 others? It’s not clear. On the rosters, they return: -A mid QB -A recovering TB; another recovering TB; a mid TB -Noah Thomas, Terry Bussey and Jaggers -TE: Swedish Jag -OL: Zuhn? The KU center who was okay and Bisontits -DT: Hicks, Regis, someone else? -DE: nope -LB: Jaguarean York and Scooby DooJag -CB: Lee, Chappell, a number of guys named Bob -S: Bryce Anderson and Dalton Brooks That’s returning a bunch of guys, sure. I don’t know if that’s a group that gets you to 6-6 against that schedule.
  16. You’re comparing a flamboyant Heisman winner, who starred for a cult, to a random mediocre QB who will play for at least 3 schools, establishing himself as loyal athlete not once. We can blame the game for that, sure, but in the end, he’ll just be a guy with no allegiances. “You played backup QB at Texas for 2 years? Get on my payroll, sonny! Here’s 6 figures annually.” ”You were at Duke for 10 months and left before the bowl game? How does my c-suite sound, good sir!” You guys are simple buffoons.
  17. “I’m going to speak declaratively about subject matter in which I have zero background or knowledge. Dummies elsewhere in life have let me get away with it, so why not Surly as well?” You’re wrong in every facet, and the rest of us are laughing at you.
  18. God forbid you delete the space below a quote on a phone. Fucking stupid. Anyway, @SamMan, I laughed when I changed the thread title but I didn’t expect the kind of mileage we’ve seen now. I will edit it to something else involving you and donkey punches for kickers and punters whenever the shine for @Helobious shaking DTs down wears off.
  19. The guy didn’t actually go into the portal. Same shit with Blue a year or two ago. They wanted to keep Mitchell, but they weren’t going to match past NIL deals. Apparently he saw the light that no one was going to match that. The guy has progressed in the last two months. Maybe they get something out of him. Cook has serious off the field issues right now, allegedly. He’s not a take for anyone paying attention. He has a lot of shit to sort through to be a viable entity at the P4 level.
  20. He literally quit on the team. I don’t want that fuckwit anywhere near Texas.
  21. I have no idea whether “captagon “ is your typical word to text issue or if this is some sort of thing in current events.
  22. Okay, come on. The weakest parts of the team have been red zone QB’ing and K beyond 40. We are weakest at the two key fucking places you cannot be against quality opponents. There isn’t a fucking person on this board going into the Clemson game ranking P above those two issues. If someone is doing that, they haven’t been paying attention. We need a blowout to de-risk this motherfucker every game forward.
  23. 1) That site has corona. 2) Good luck to them. Maybe Steve Slaton will show up there shortly and make Dick Rod look awesome again.
  24. I know I’ve belabored it before, but I have friends who were involved with the ESPN and On3 ratings. In both situations, contemporaneously, they said the guys running the ratings did not want to rate Manning #1 overall because of the fear of being wrong. They got bullied by dimwits like Mike Farrell and Billy Liucci running around social media touting Manning as a 3 star player with a 5 star name. Those guys all deserve to be mocked every time they mention a ranking.
