    They are literally the other end of the spectrum from Clemson in this regard.

    re: Switzer and Jimmy Johnson...Switzer never lost more than 4 games in his career at OU - lost 4 82 an 83 and followed that up with 9-2-1, 11-1, 11-1, 11-1 the next 4 seasons. Jimmy went 8-5 at Miami, then 10-2, 11-1, 12-0, 11-1. I think the big difference there is that players LOVED Jimmy Johnson. I was always under the impression that Switzer was a players coach at OU, but not 100% sure on that front - he was with the Cowboys which was part of the issue there.

    I don't think anyone feels as much love for Jimbo as they did for Switzer and Jimmy.

    Without the love for the coach, without competing for national championships - even if they win games they are going to have chasms that open up due to playing time, being thousands of miles away from home, etc.

    Not us.  We'll follow the rules down to the letter, even if the rules are never enforced.

    I’m interested and would like to hear @RGBIII or @closetojumping thoughts lately on how Plonsky has shifted in the new era. I know we’re doing everything by the book as far as burnt ends and HWH but is she still being a pest?

    I hope you're right, but I heard something similar very recently. I don't know what's real and what's bullshit at this point, though. There are plenty of reasons for the brass to be misleading on this stuff until they know everything is ironed out exactly.

    wouldn't that reduce payouts next year? seems like texas wouldn't be okay with taking less money.

    Whataburger has sucked for years.  The only thing the Chicago takeover has done is finally give you idiots a scapegoat for something you were just too afraid to admit.

    I wish Chicago would send Portillo chains down here.

    Why? It's an endorsement deal. It's supposed to be separate from their status as a collegiate football player. Why couldn't it be a multi-year deal that runs into their professional career?

    Or else…what? I guess either side could take the other to court to say the contract is unenforceable, but no one else is going to come in and say, “you can’t do that!” in an enforceable way. 

    I will say it makes absolutely no sense to me that any of these deals are longer than a year. You don’t want to be the Austin Lambo dealership having your endorser driving around Tuscaloosa in your car. There’s always another star Texas athlete out there. Assuming it makes sense to keep signing these deals, but that’s their decision. 

    Saw on another board that Burnt Endz had this issue with regards to the tight end dinner and such. Maybe @RGBIII or @immamac can explain

    I saw that Bijan's Lambo deal is a one-year thing. Wonder if it would be in Lambo's interest to sign him to a multi-year endorsement so that when he goes on to the pros, if he becomes a star, he'll have potentially broader NFL exposure. 

    The NIL deals can't extend past their collegiate eligibility. It would need to be a new deal.

  7. Oh no players can make money and get luxury cars after being exploited for decades! I'll stop watching!!!!!!! muh amateurism! 


    Dumbest shit ever, especially given that NIL will be a place where we can be at the top of the food chain.

  8. Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle tight end Duce Robinson has been at the top of the board when it comes to tight ends in the 2023 class for quite some time.

    The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder is the No. 17 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 1 tight end and is also the top player in the state of Arizona this cycle.

    Numerous national programs are in pursuit of the five-star out of Pinnacle High and a new one has entered the race.

    “I have been talking to coach Banks a lot lately and I am going to try and take a visit to Texas over the summer,” Robinson told On3.

    Robinson first visited Texas last summer. He has family in Austin, he has remained in contact with coach Banks, and he is eyeing a return trip to learn more about the Longhorns.

    “When I was there last year, I liked it. Coach Banks and I stayed in communication the whole time. He came out to check on me twice this spring and out relationship is really going strong now.

    “I am not sure of a date yet, but we have talked about the weekend of June 24-26 or that last weekend in July when things open up again for an official visit. I am definitely interested in getting back out there.”

    Steve Sarkisian’s offense is one thing that attracts Robinson to Texas. The two were on the phone again Wednesday and the No. 1 prospect in Arizona is high on the Texas head coach.

    “Coach Sark is a cool guy and he is one of the top offensive minds in college football. I am ready to see what he and his team does this season. He has an explosive offense and they signed some good players. Then they got a ton of transfers, so they could be ready to do some nice things.”

    Robinson has his eye on Arch Manning

    The Texas offense and how the team looks with the updated roster are not the only things Robinson has his eye on. He is also watch the recruitment of Five-star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning.

    “How could you not be watching that,” Robinson said. “It is hard not to keep up with a player like that. Then, we have a relationships too, so it would be cool to go to school with a player like that.

    “To go to college with someone you know, someone you have a relationship with, and a quarterback like Arch, that would be throwing me the ball would be great. I am interested in where he goes like everyone else.”

    Robinson and Manning met initially last summer on a visit to Georgia. Then they were at Clemson for a game together in the fall and their relationship has really grown from that point.

    A decision from Manning could come before Robinson makes his. Manning visited Georgia last weekend and he will be at Alabama and Texas the next two weekends. Many feel a decision will come later this summer.

    Robinson does not expect to make his at that time.

    “I am looking to commit now later in the season, maybe even after it. I have to make sure I am 100% before I commit to anyone. So right now, I know I will take my official visit to USC this month (June 17-19), then try to get to Texas this summer too.

    “During the season, I want to take official visits to Georgia and Alabama. Then see how I feel. I want to see everywhere and everything I need to see before I commit.”

    Yeah, I don't think Texas fans have any malice towards the Big 12, but there's a natural desire to know you made the right move, and the failure of the Big 12 would confirm that, even if Texas football doesn't really improve on the field in the SEC.

    After the last 10 years fuck this conference

    I'm not shitting nonsense, asshole.

    I am explaining what I take to be wildcat's view of it that isn't 100% irrational, and isn't wholly dependent on having viewed the trial in its entirety.

    Juries don't always, or even often, find the absolute truth.  They do, often, do justice.

    The trial proved that she lied about the abuse and a whole lot of other shit.  And that pissed off the jury.  And they may have reached their verdict on that basis, moreso than strictly adhering to the law of defamation and the public figure doctrine.

    Yeah but wildcat was spouting off shit without even watching or knowing anything about the trial. So fuck him.
