    Hahahahaaha. WTF?! I'd say so.

    The ol'28 player class, huh? Right.

    I was talking with someone yesterday about UT's shifting approach recruiting recruit vs. transfer mix going forward. Shit happened this weekend that changed everything. A guy who has done something at the CFB level with 2-3 years left using his one-time transfer to come to Texas is way more valuable than the final 10-12 takes in a recruiting cycle. Other schools are seeing this stuff the same way. I won't be surprised if this is a bigger class because they get Manning, but I won't be surprised if it isn't, either. 

    I was thinking the right mix is somewhere in the  3/4 high school recruits and 1/4 transfers or somewhere close to there. Agree with your last part because IMO they're going to try and load up defensively for the first year in the SEC after loading up on offense this year. But that is probably wishful thinking.

    I would viciously carve out every one of your hearts on this board with a plastic spork for the chance to have Urban Meyer take a crack at fixing this program after Seven Loss Steve is kicked to the curb following the 2024 season. 

    Same. I’d just really like to see it for all the “win the right way” crowd put on a spot by celebrating a national title or sticking to their morals.

    I can’t tell if the regard you are arguing with is honestly regarded or just creating his own schtick like futureman. We scored a shit pile of points at will against everybody but Iowa state,and still lost all those games. We let Kansas score 60 ffs. If we spend $3 milly on Addison and go 6-6 then shut the fucking doors, it’s over. What we should do is spend that $3 mill on some defensive players for the love of god. 

    There are no defensive players currently in the portal of his level. Stupid point is stupid.

    Dude- you are overthinking this. We would have the best RB room in college football, the best WR room in college football and a 1.000 QB and a 5

    star TE, with a great offensive coordinator playing against a dogshit schedule. 

    I’m in no way saying our defense won’t blow chunks, but you are taking about an offense that will average 50 a game (non Alabama portion of the schedule) and will put up 60 every third or fourth game. Like- the defense will need to get a turnover or 2 and make them kick 3 figgies and we should be fine. You are seriously underestimating what having that kind of offensive firepower will do. And I know- offensive line blah blah blah. If you are looking at Zay, Neyor, Whittington and Addison, with Bijan in the back field I don’t particularly care what our offensive line looks like- it will be good enough to light up the scoreboard. We don’t play anyone other than Bama who would be able to exploit that issue.
    Also- I think the line can aspire to average. 

    That much talent at skill positions hides an offensive lines deficiencies because defenses will have to be honest.

    Brilliant. Let’s go blow booster wads on a one year rental for a season where 10 wins is a goddamn miracle. This defense will lose games. Now explain to your bankroll how this perceived loss is just a predictor of future gains.

    We have not hit on hs prospects, that’s the point. Again, Addison would be great, but I’m not confident this team wins 9 games with or without him. If he transferred here and we performed poorly, that’s a negative data point in recruiting future stars in seasons where we might be competitive. 

    You’re fucking stupid. We haven’t hit on HS prospect because our old WR coach was dog shit.

    We're recruiting high school WR's for their 'developmental upside' - we don't necessarily need the portal for that, and I really don't care who OU might add in the portal. 

    I can't see any reason why we'd turn down the opportunity to add the best WR in college football even if it is a one year rental.  I'm in favor of getting Ewers all the receivers so he can put up 4k yards in the air to go with Bijan's 1k on the ground.

    If you don’t want to add Addison you’re a certified fuckwhit who should eabod.

  7. God there are so many Texas fans and alumni that are just straight up pussies like this guy and his response:

    Heaven forbid the players to make money that you'll pack up your donations and leave. Fucking coward.

    Sometimes they land sometimes they bomb.  I took a chance.  Sucks to hear the AD looking at this as competition though.  That’s incredibly obtuse of them.  I would think those greedy motherfuckers would see this as an opportunity to make even more money and ask y’all to help with weaponizing basketball and baseball as well. 

    Do you or did you expect anything different from a school that values profits over results?
