I should have added, "Yeah @Fondren & Main was correct."

2002 was Mack's best class. 26 players. https://247sports.com/college/texas/Season/2002-Football/Commits/ Young, Wright, Blalock, Harris, Pittman, S. Young, Dibbles, Ross, Thomas, Studdard, Sendlein, Robison By my count, 12 of them were "hits" in that they had significant/notable playing time. What is exceptional is that 10 of them played in the NFL. Perhaps interesting to only me: Brian Pickryl, 5* DE ended up graduating with a BS in biomedical engineering.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Urbs by either Griffin or Lawrence. Without saying he's a bipolar asshole, they are saying he's a bipolar asshole. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32884789/jacksonville-jaguars-qb-trevor-lawrence-says-coaching-change-gives-locker-room-focus After 11 months of missteps, mistakes, embarrassing moments, anonymous reports of strife within the coaching staff and between head coach Urban Meyer and players, the Jacksonville Jaguars just want a little peace and quiet for the rest of the year. That's why quarterback Trevor Lawrence and cornerback Shaq Griffin are happy that the team named offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell as the interim head coach after firing Meyer early Thursday morning. Bevell is the perfect antidote to the chaos that has gripped the franchise almost since the moment Meyer was hired in January. "He's very even keel," Lawrence said of Bevell, who also served as the Detroit Lions' interim head coach for the final five games of the 2020 season. "Always the same person never gets too high or too low. That's something that I respect and that I can level with. "So I'd say that's the biggest thing that we need right now. Someone that's consistent and just to move forward and push past it."

In the same post, he says Tom Herman is certifiable and certified. SlidellCajun might need to review his position.

I agree w/ you about his skills vs. the competition. Texas, A&M and others in that division would consistently get former D1 guys to join the team. That said, the lax coaches would likely allow him to play, but I cannot see why he would risk injury. There are a lot of freaking meatheads that play on some of those teams.

My oldest played lax for Texas's club team (there is no NCAA team at Texas) and has done some youth coaching in the Austin area. He helped with Westlake on occasion and told me about Burke when he was in 8th or 9th grade. Ethan Burke is a legitimate lacrosse player for Westlake. His father is the varsity coach there, fwiw. As a freshman in 2019, he played on their top varsity team and was an all-state player with 32 goals and 12 assists. https://www.facebook.com/WestlakeLacrosse/photos/congratulations-to-ethan-burke-all-state-selection-at-midfield-/2313725372055397/ After his sophomore year 2020, he committed to Maryland lacrosse, a legit program. He has since decommitted. https://lacrossebucket.com/2020/09/15/maryland-adds-lone-star-state-attackman-in-2022-class/ He was all-state in 2021, too. There is almost zero chance he is a 2-sport player at Texas If I recall, there are 11 scholarships for lacrosse, typically shared among the 40-50 players on the roster. Football is definitely a more lucrative path.

Agree re: Kiffin. He's a really good coach, but not necessarily worth the risk, esp. at a school with a reasonable reputation. And I typo-d in the earlier message. They lost to Iowa St.

I think we will all agree that Mullen needed to be fired. There was really zero chance of salvaging him. Aside from Napier, who would have taken the job? Folks like Fickell, Cristobal, Kiffin, Aranda, and Mark Stoops were named, but who would have taken on the rebuild? AND, many of those folks got extensions/raises at the beginning of the carousel. UF invested heavily in this. Over the next 7 years: $51mm for Napier, $53mm for assistants, $35mm for additional staff. If they fire Napier early, he will get 85% of his remaining contract with zero offsets. Napier had only 1 signature win against a top-25 team (2020 Iowa) and did not have any bad losses in his final three years. Most of the other G5 up-and-comers have a few stinkers in there. Who should they have gotten that might have been better? And would it have been better?

I have visited Columbus 2 times for 2 of my daughters' college visits (no pics, you animals). I agree that Columbus had the Austin 80s/90s feel. However, I want to be clear that I did not tour the entire footprint of Columbus. I visited the parts of Columbus with brew pubs and recently renovated restaurants (High St, etc.). Also, there were very few times (none?) where I reflected that my son should have attended (because of all the attractive womens). Everyone we met was pleasant enough and I was convinced that the assholes I met at tosu/Purdue in 2004 and tosu/Texas in 2005/2006 were t-shirt fans or just assholes. That all said, Columbus has the feel of 80s/90s Austin without the pleasant and attractive people. And with shitty weather.

And there will be a whole new slate of co-eds and boosters' wives to pursue.

Here are the DFEI rankings for Clemson and OU since 2008. Note that Venables' final season at OU was 2011. Advantage: Venables.

One good way to do this is review NFL draft information. It is the best way to assess talent level at the schools. It's not clear if it is recruiting, development, or both. Moreover, there is almost no way to determine the root cause of the effectiveness of talent acquisition: bag game, charismatic head coaches (Swinney > Stoops), etc. Venables' final year at OU was 2011, so he had considerable contribution to folks drafted through the 2014 draft. Here are the OU defensive players drafted from 2008-2014: 2008 - Curtis Loftin (LB, 2); Reggie Smith (CB, 3) 2009 - Nic Harrs (s, 5) 2010 - Gerald McCoy (DT, 1); Keenan Clayton (LB, 4); Dominique Franks (CB, 5) 2011 - Quinton Carter (S, 4); Jonathon Nelson (CB, 7); Jeremy Beal (LB, 7) 2012 - Jamell Fleming (CB, 3); Frank Alexander (DE, 4); Ronnell Lewis (LB, 4); Travis Lewis (OLB, 7) 2013 - Stacy McGee (DT, 6); David King (DE, 7) 2014 - Aaron Colvin (CB, 4); Corey Nelson (LB, 7) The defense was good, but not stocked with NFL talent. I'l leave the deep dive into Clemson NFL draftees to someone else (or I'll look at it later), but here are some highlights 2016 - DE in 1st; LB, 2 CB in 2nd; LB in 4th; DT in 5th; S in 7th 2017 - CB in 3rd; DT in 4th 2018 - 2 defensive players drafted 2019 - 3 DL drafted in 1st round, 1 CB in 2nd round; 2 more from defense drafted later 2020 - LB, CB in 1st round, LB in 3rd round; S in 4th; 2021 - zero players from defense drafted Again, I have no idea the root cause ($$, recruiting, development). However, I see the players at Clemson as being far superior to what he had at OU.

This needs to be reinforced. In 2019-2020, Texas football generated $146mm in revenue. Of that, $44.1mm was from ticket revenue, $33.6mm from football donations, and $26.6mm through licensing and sponsorships. Dropping 2 games likely means dropping an average of 1-1.5 home games per year (some of those out-of-conference games are home-only; some are home-and-home). That would impact each of the above numbers by 15-20%. Moreover, most conferences split the Champ Game revenue. Most P5 schools would prefer an additional home game and the revenue from the conference championship game over the paltry income generated by 2 weekends narrowing down from 12 to 4. Matchups of Baylor/Oregon or Cincy/Pitt are largely uninteresting to the masses. They'd get horrid ratings in most of the country - and imagine that Oregon home game starting at 8P PST. Ugh.

Iowa has been a pretender all year long. First, they really have not really beaten anyone. Game 1: W 34-6 over #17 Indiana. Indiana ended the season with 3 wins - they sucked this year. Game 2: W 27-17 over #9 Iowa State. ISU was mediocre all year and has struggled w/ Iowa for some time - esp. under Campbell. Game 6: W 23-20 over #4 Penn State. PSU was overrated all year long and had 4 turnovers in the game. Game 7: Purdue - and its notoriously mediocre defense - beat #2 Iowa 24-7 - at Iowa. Petras had 4 INT. Game 8: Wisconsin dismantled them 27-7. Wisconsin held them to 156 yards of offense. Iowa was not that great, but the rest of the Big10 West (Purdue, Wisconsin, and Minn) (1) were a little worse and (2) had OSU or Michigan on the schedule.

We know she ain't your type

For research purposes. She's kept herself in good shape

Couple of thoughts.... If Ewers goes to Tech, he's dumber than I thought. McGuire holding it back to not rain on Aranda = bullshit. Ewers reminds me of that guy who is always interviewing at a startup or another "greener" place. Looks good on paper and never really wants to execute or compete.

The IRS does not know about briefcases full of cash. Oh wait, this ain't the 80s any more. CPAs like you should offer tax advice - gratis - to these young men. The BMDs business interests funding this are going to write it all off as a business expense. There's no reason the athletes should have to go to jail because of tax law ignorance. I envision "Gaspar, The Official CPA of University of Texas Men's Athletics" will be chanted in the halls of Bellmont in the near future.

His love for his players is limitless. His love for money is more limitless. Agree that the worst thing about that message is the 10p announcement of a 7a meeting. What an asshole.

Glutton for punishment... Out of town and Youtube TV will not update to my out of town area. So, cannot watch, as it is linked to Fox7 in Austin. anyone know of a streaming link?

Yes. Ballard beat out Wright. That’s the story from the younger Austin High alumni network. If there is such a thing.
