No shame from me. I was just looking to an expert. What other people do in their spare time, if they're not hurting other folks or animals, is their business, sir.

Aren't you both a doctor and someone who has previously talked on IPIHB about letting your wife peg you? I feel like you should be giving most of the rest of us the advice here.

**anii?

Getting a head start on the next cycle before some poor starts a thread and can't edit the title after posting it. This will be the cycle in which anuses needed to be fully prepared.

No. I have other shit to do. You don't, so you should. With your response here, I negged your childish previous post.

The Cult of Maalik Murphy is even weirder than The Cult of Teh Major. At least Applewhite was often a productive QB at the college level who played his whole tenure with Texas. Murphy's been vehemently defended in bizarre ways since his commitment. His commitment thread remains hilarious. You have several posters at that time saying "his footwork is weak", "he's a statue in the pocket", "he's a long strider", "he's scared of contact", "he doesn't make his reads fast enough" etc., and people were howling about it. Now we have a 55 page thread on the guy and some of the posts throughout it are almost breathless panting about his potential. He's still the same guy. Hasn't developed a lick. He has the accuracy of a broken clock. Might be a nice guy and all, and I hope he does well at Duke and beyond because, sure, why not? That said, anybody taking comments about the outlook for the guy personally must have other weird shit going on.

Can you not do stupid shit like this? What is it going to take? Do we need to just neg bomb you every time you pull this kind of stunt? The only way you add value here is when you provide information that you've weaseled or whittled your way into, source it, and fail to add your own thoughts. That almost counterbalances all of the other queenish shit like this that you bring to the table. Almost.

I just said as much, and it will be true everywhere. Collectives will still exist and be a tool that a HC will lean on, same as corporate.

Christian Jones at 55 is quite the jump.

Guys talking about salary caps and such, whatever happens with collective bargaining will still have zero impact on NIL. Outside parties can do whatever they want with players with the NCAA being put to sleep, whether these are corporate deals or boosters still doing work, players will get paid outside of any salaries. Not saying collectives wouldn't diminish in value, because they would. Just saying that the days of someone else paying guys while we idiots as Texas fans look at with our noses up are long gone. Moving forward, Texas is one of the big boys in all of this irrespective of how involved or uninvolved the schools get.

That fucking article is so over-the-top unbelievable that I had to scroll back up to doublecheck the author. Olin Buchanan is a fucking artist. He'd be the greatest troll of all time if he wasn't so completely serious. There is too much content from that article that reads like satire for it to make any sense to paste in pieces. People just need to go over there and read it. It's amazing. Here's the end of the article, which is probably my favorite section: "Aggies have been warned to only be “cautiously” optimistic about next season. Enough happened on Saturday — including the addition of center Kolinu’u Faaiu from Utah through the transfer portal — to remove the “cautiously” disclaimer. That’s no joke." God. That is so fucking good. This idiot and the other idiots thinking ATM is going to be good this season are in for quite the experience. They're myopic yokels who are willfully ignorant about the level of dogshit they've amassed on their roster. Also, The Elk claiming to have rebuilt the program's culture in 4 months is outstanding. He helped build the prior shitty culture. He was Jimbo's right hand man for 4 of the 6 seasons in which cancerous rot ultimately became the "cultural foundation" of the program that the same writers and fans were touting until Fisher was unceremoniously thrown out on his ass in November. Good thing "culture" can just be wiped away promptly and then freshly, quickly replaced. That's just how it works. Right.

Does anyone know how their spring game attendance worked out?

What is known is that others were ahead of Texas on planning for that situation, unlike with Toia, the Arizona white guy, Alexander or another few that could materialize. I’ve thought all along since Williams announced that it would be a hail mary for Texas to land him.

Well, you’ve been dickriding a midget for at least 7 years, so it’s all relative.

Nothing. Uniform fashion and game times are two Surly issues that dorks get absurdly passionate and picky about with very little value for the rest of us. I knew clicking on this thread that a) it would probably confirm an 11am Big Noon kickoff and b) multiple people would be immediately upset about it and somehow surprised. Now, conspiracy theories about the SEC getting involved with a non-conference game airing on Fox? Didn’t see that silliness coming.

Forget it Newy, it’s billfromlaketravistown.

Where is he currently projected? I wouldn’t be surprised if that dude ended up being 10+ year NFL player.

I have Baylor down as one of the 3 sure wins on Colorado’s schedule. This is going to be a really, really bad team. I’m kind of hoping for a return to the Kevin Steele era and we might just be getting that.

I believe your thoughts, to be clear. That’s what makes things interesting between what you’ve been told and what the 247 reporters posted in quotes from Elko after a practice. Someone is bullshitting someone else. I obviously want it to be Elko lying in public.

It’s funny watching their posters, who you can tell most of them know it’s bullshit, tout Texas’ interest and “offers” with all 3 of those players. It’s kind of grim watching them discuss recruiting, but also very satisfying.

If he’s worth the premium, then someone will pay it. Texas isn’t short on NIL for basketball. If they think they have to have him, they can afford him. They may have a different opinion than you guys, though.

My mind isn't made up on much of anything, particularly college football teams before the spring portal even closes. I've offered concrete thoughts on why I think CU, as it stands, won't be better than 3-9/4-8 in 2024. I asked you to support your view on why we should expect vast improvement. You've done nothing since but be an evasive child using weak rhetorical tactics that are likely useful only in the comments section of HuffPo and Slate articles. It's obvious that you're just intimidated that we're going to discover that you likely can't name a starter outside of Travis Hunter and Shilo Sanders on CU's defense and likely couldn't even tell us what schemes to expect from the new offensive staff heading into this season. Breaking News: you've already shown yourself in that regard, which is what has us here.

I'm not slow, no. That said, the Dunning Kruger Effect is certainly shining brightly in this exchange. No one is asking for "proof", just that you make even a vague attempt to support your position. You can cite facts in the form of player and coaching roles that offer up reasons for your optimism regarding "much improved". Or offer informed opinions about the team's outlook. Instead, you've chosen to take the tact of being overly literal and tedious as a means of hoping the rest of us fail to notice that you don't know a fucking thing about the subject matter in which you keep inserting your witless and vapid comments.

What is irritating about your first post is the way you indicate that "they" have conveyed to someone, maybe only you, that that guy is the target. All Gerry did, in a generic portal thread, was state that Arkansas' stud punter was in the portal. That doesn't immediately indicate that he's thinking Texas is in on the guy. Christ.

The punter from another SEC school?
