Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
Heard is one of the poster boy’s for this era. He is a pure mercenary. Like, only money matters. He’s also fucking awesome. So he’s something of a reflection pool for every program. Who do they want to be, and at what expense? For me, I hope Texas has zero interest. Texas noped the fuck out of that recruitment when he was in HS for the same issues. Hey, man, I don’t think the staff had a role in injuring this guy.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Not much has changed in the last decade. Probably still The Wynn, Aria, and Cosmopolitan depending upon taste. I guess for non-casinos, the only really nice one that I have been to is whatever the Mandarin is now on the Aria property. Away from the strip? Someone else would have to answer.

If you’re going to cite stats, have the appropriate context. Clemson and Kentucky last season were not good defenses. Hell, we played both of them and you should have seen it with your own eyes. Louisville as a team rushed for almost 400 yards against UK. He had a good game against SMU. I’m not saying he’s dogshit, I’m saying the numbers aren’t telling the whole truth, neither is the 2025 Miami game, but that’s all most people are going off of to convince themselves that this guy could be RB1. Maybe he turns over a new leaf with his vaginal behavior at a new school. Or maybe a school thinks they’re answering their RB prayers in getting him and, it turns out, that will only be true when he feels like playing. The guy was recruited by a ton of blue bloods because he looked great in HS. He didn’t play in CFB before getting hurt heading into his freshman year last year. Is your contention that he didn’t look good in HS based off of personal film study or are you just thinking of another player? Sooners Illustrated or whatever is the 24/7 site I have access to, and those mods spend occasional time trying to be realistic and objective. SoonerScoop is the more popular site and has the true mouthbreathing mods who have no objectivity. Those guys, along with former players and current dipshits Teddy Lehman and Gabe Ikard, are the guys pumping sunshine every preseason. They’re all the guys claiming that the 2025 OU OL was going to win the Joe Moore Award. Whoops. Davison was taken off the market by an offer way out of the realm of sensible. Tatum wanted to play baseball as well and that was a no-go for Choice. Tatum is a bust with concussion issues at OU and Davison looks like he could be worth it eventually for Oregon. I wouldn’t say Texas really “passed” on either in terms of simply preferring Clark to them.

Gary Danielson done after this '25 season, replaced by Charles Davis
That was awesome. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger shill. He ruined many an SEC broadcast for me.

In multi-year form? Even that is hard to believe.

I think he’d be way better than Blue because he’s capable of running inside and holding onto the ball. He’d probably be the best RB on campus unless Clark is coming into his own or Cooper is ready right out of the gate and is amazing. I just think there are better guys to target without the issue of soft tissue “injuries” sidelining them every time someone puts their hat on them.

Apparently, Okie State has made Hawkins a priority. A lot of people think he’s locked in there. OU on the other hand is apparently competing with FSU for some APB named Avant out of Colorado State. He had 400 yards last season. The mods are saying that OU thinks Blaylock and Robinson are as good a tandem as they could ever want, especially with Hatton showing up for young depth. Of course, the mods are also having to skirt around saying that OU is not expected to be much of a player in the TP overall this year. I guess we’ll see if that’s true.

I love Bobby as a lead voice covering Texas, but I don’t always agree with him. I don’t think he, or you apparently, have watched much Louisville this year. For one, they didn’t need Brown to be a bell cow. They just needed him to be reliable. They had another top notch RB1 type in Duke something, Watson, maybe, and a solid younger 3rd string guy as well. If you look beneath the surface at his weekly performance, Brown had a big game against Miami in which everyone seems to want to draw their conclusions, and then he feasted on junk food otherwise. He missed or played poorly against any other defense that could fog a mirror and did the same shit in 2024. I think the guy is a pussy and paper tiger.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I knew they’d start getting serious with each other about leaving the minute Texas started beating them again, but it’s still funny. Just looking to go somewhere in which they can “easily “ make it to the playoff and not play Texas. Why not just rejoin the Big 12, pussies?

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
It actually is. Juggs reps, one-handed reps, and jump ball reps can and do drive more proficiency for catching the ball. I found myself wondering this year if Texas was doing any of that and how often, but surely they are. The offseason will hopefully include a crazy amount of that work as well as cut and quickness drills. Having the dropsies can also be psychological for a player, sort of like a RB with a fumbling problem. That shit can change for a WR from one season to another if that is the problem.

You’re being ridiculously flippant to a nauseating level about roster management. It’s not productive and it’s distracting. We should all give major fucks about talent and depth across all positions. I said this earlier in the thread but, Texas just gave Baxter a non-offer and wished him well in large part because he didn’t know the difference between hurt and injured. Brown is the same guy. He feasted for two seasons against mostly shit teams and then pulled himself out of multiple games in both seasons. He missed like 4-5 games this year over injuries that the coaches clearly, through their set-up interviews with the announcers calling their games each weekend, were frustrated by it. When he did play, he often made sure he was pulled after a hard tackle. Unless he was playing BC or Eastern Kentucky, then he was a fucking beast. I assume either the Veith guy is just full of shit or that Texas will figure out that Brown is more of the same from what they just sent packing. There are way better options that will be available if “availability” is an ability that the staff values. Texas will have Cooper, Clark, Terry and at least one stud from the portal, plus the white dude from CenTex for practice fodder. The idea that Texas will sign two NFL RBs in one portal cycle is pretty wishful. RB is not a position where guys are going to happily look at signing up for one season to vault them into the league and yet risk being RB2 after the spring. Jadyn Ott is a cautionary tale that every agent will be telling their guys. It’s more like QB in that regard than WR or Edge or Safety. I expect a 2nd RB from the portal to be a scheme fit and depth piece more than a guy on the verge of being drafted.

I’m loving the return of the page dying. Nothing has changed in the recruiting forum except for the pinned image at the top of every page and there’s no way that isn’t part of the issue. Same everything as yesterday and days before it regarding settings and devices. Doesn’t really matter what thread I click, they all devolve into a message like this:

I’m guessing that @texifornia is fabuloooouuuss at parties and nothing akin to a square. The only thing square about that dude is what is color-coordinated in his blazer’s breast pocket.

You are the personification of the axiom “better to remain silent and simply be assumed an idiot rather than speak and remove all doubt. “ It’s almost like every post you make is an active attempt to get yourself added to more ignore lists by making a show of your abject stupidity.

He’s a direct descendant of Warren Harding and his teapot dome scandal and cousins with Tonya. Nothing good comes from a Harding. Hard pass.

Citrus Bowl 2025 Game Week Thread
I’ve found the best approach is DAtW through the early afternoon, go to the hotel to nap when the wife and kids have had enough of Epcot, me or both, then regroup for a nice dinner. This time at The Boathouse. Kill me.

Three days at the DisneyWorld parks with all of the kids follow the Citrus Bowl. Once Texas got this bid, I knew where this was headed. If anyone is drinking around the world at Epcot on Saturday, give a shout out to ol’ctj. I’ll be wearing UT gear with a sarcastic wife and 4 teen/pre-teen assholes all making sarcastic comments at their parents’ expense. No jorts, cargo shorts, flip flops or crocs will be involved. You’re not quite as good at the longhorn Internets as you think you are, LT.
