    I have that dude on ignore so I didn’t see anything until you’re quote, but yeah, I’m happy for Brandon Harris that some guy finds him impressive enough that it’s cool that he just gets to learn on the clock at a critical role at UT because he’s an excellent yes man for the staff. That sucks for all of us, but, hey, good for the poster and the employee who’s adding neutral to negative contribution value to the program right now. This idea that Sarkisian is above making bad hires is absurd. Every manager makes bad hires. We all fucking knew that Harris would be a really bad hire if elevated. It’s not new. Losing Zion Williams to LSU is a fucking joke, really. That’s the one that is going to irritate me if he signs there.

    Of all of the stuff that has been flying around lately, $3.5M/year is the one I find the least believable. Unless that is truly what it would take to get Schlossnagle, there's no reason to go anywhere close to that.

    It's extremely unlikely that Texas lands both Ffrench and Lockett. Ketchum is an idiot throwing shit at the wall, again. Courtney Morgan is the best player relations guy in college football, by some accounts. Meanwhile, we have someone very, very unimpressive matching up against him in Brandon Harris.

    The mom likes Bo Davis. We'll see if that is enough to overcome where the player wants to go as well as an NIL stack that LSU can't match. I have that goober on ignore, so thanks for quoting that, as it made me laugh.

    This has been floating for close to two weeks at this point. I remain deeply skeptical that Texas is going to reset the market for college baseball coaches, but it won't bother me if it is true. Why not? We don't owe either of those asshole schools and programs a fucking thing. Or maybe they're going to announce the hiring of Bakich in about 90 minutes or something.

    He’s a 5 star WR, so there is always the high probability that someone is going to do something absurd to get him. Tennessee could be that team this year. Missouri went there last year with Wingo and Texas couldn’t let go. Does any of that happen with Ffrench? It’s going to be interesting to watch the big time WR recruitments unfold this cycle versus watching DL. They’re unlikely to be handled the same.
  7. closetojumping
    There are several guys with Murphy’s numbers in this cycle that Sarkisian isn’t very interested in letting Baker recruit. Starfuck for this staff or get fucked, apparently.
  8. closetojumping
    Send Sarkisian your strongly worded letter, then. NIL follows his direction. DT has not been a priority. For anyone doubting what I just typed, please recognize that while we all may wish for something else, I’m not speculating on this one. The larger longhorn world than Surly.

    Faraimo has been a silent to ND for half a year. Good luck with it. Comparing the approach from this staff between WR and DT is like comparing night and day. Sarkisian takes a personal interest in WR recruiting. DT is hardly on his radar. The DT coach has to be able to be a fucking beast in recruiting on his own. Also, over the prior 3 cycles under Sarkisian, Texas has overspent on NIL at every position on the roster except TE and DT. Now would be a good time to change that.

    They didn't act like he was, however. They treated the recruitment, as they have with the other OOS guys, as though he was a priority and that they had a great shot at landing him. Both recruitments can be classified as tenuous at best. I'll be stunned if either guy comes to Texas. For all of the lauding of the hire of the amazing Kenny Baker, the early returns suck shit through a straw. Having a class of DJ Sanders and maybe Brown plus a couple of other reaches while key DT talents head to future opponents and other playoff contenders is indefensible. I hope this guy shows some amazing results on the field with his charges this fall because that's the only way out of this in the future if he's going to stick around. He needs to have guys from this roster drafted and to be able to point to results from the schedule. Or, fire the fucking guy and hire someone that can't be drug by rival recruiters.

    In a land full of idiots, the Spider fucktard staggers the most idiotic across all of the horizon. He's a room temperature IQ poster with the inability to filter any thoughts. When he shows up after being gone for a few weeks working his graveyard shift, he pulls the trigger on his gatlin gun of terrible, voluminous takes and doesn't walk away until he's unloaded his banality on every active thread.

    My view has nothing to do with Nahlin being some sort of homer for the guy. I will stand by what I said - the guy will be a lazy take as a 4th DL and if he's a take higher than that, the already legendary for no fucking reason Kenny Baker has taken a bunch of L's with the other targets. This is the kind of take that Texas used to get when they watched a bunch of better DLs get bought by SEC schools and Clemson/Oregon/OSU.
  13. closetojumping
    Thank you. Good grief.
  14. closetojumping
    We had an interim AD doing the hiring, first and foremost, and there was zero evidence of institutional support at the time. That whole endeavor was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish.
  15. closetojumping
    They were getting roasted on XM84 for this today. I view this as glorious news. There was no reason to give this rube a raise, but, hey, fuck it, go for it.
  16. closetojumping
    There’s a shot you’re taking things a bit too seriously.
  17. closetojumping
    I don’t want him under any circumstances. He’ll never play a meaningful down at Texas and, if he does, we are proper fucked. To say he’s a bad-bodied project would be putting it mildly. Even as the 4th DT in a 4 DT group, he’s a roster space looking for a place to transfer.
  18. closetojumping
    This is the kind of worry that one should keep to themselves. Maybe sit the next few out and regroup and such.
  19. closetojumping
    Then other shit besides hiring someone without any experience happens. Get a fucking grip.
  20. closetojumping
    It’s not sarcasm. That idiot has launched a full on assault of tautological banality at this thread.
  21. closetojumping
    Great fucking work on this page, guys.

    Isn’t Ralph & Kacoo’s like the Olive Garden of cajun? I was taken there a few times back in the day and always thought, “man, this is some shitty, generic cajun” with every meal.

    I pondered one of the top 10 being “Milana Vayntrub is a rotund glutton that chases cars” but thought it was too volatile for the enchilada people. And here you go.

    I both order and make Mexican martinis, and I make them spicy and dirty, with almost no sweetness. To me, a margarita served up is a totally different thing, if also delicious.

    I have gone almost full Gus McCrae on a few bartenders attempting to insist that you can’t call for a vodka martini. Fucking pedants. Had a guy in London attempt it once at a club while I was with female coworkers and a business partner. I wanted to grab him by his handlebar mustache and bang his head into the counter repeatedly until he passed out.
