    I would never expect them to acknowledge that they agree with us now, however.  It's obviously that Texas has been assigned the first "favorable" schedule in the history of the SEC.

    Obviously!

    It's part of the Snakey-ESPN conspiracy to hold down the Ags. And now it's been bolstered by alignment with the on3 network and The Athletic podcast. It's all just too unfair for the good ole Ags.

  2. It's been about a month and a half, so let's see who's moving up, and who's moving down. The averages below are for the last 12 live streams on each outlet's YouTube channel.

    ON TEXAS FOOTBALL (45,200 subs)

    March 17: 4,640 views

    May 7: 6,430 views

    INSIDE TEXAS (7,100 subs)

    March 17: 2,470 views

    May 7: 3,420 views

    ORANGEBLOODS (18,900 subs)

    March 17: 1,960 views

    May 7: 2,110 views

    Analysis: All of the channels saw growth during the last six weeks, but On Texas Football did the best both in terms of raw numbers and percentage growth. At this point Bobby and co. are averaging significantly more than IT and Orangebloods combined.

    I'll try to do this again at the end of June, when there should be more activity following the Texas summer camps and likely more commitments to talk about.

    That's cute. Didn't we sign a 15 year $250M deal with Nike like 10 years ago?

    Yes. Aggy has almost caught up. Whoop!

    What's more remarkable about the UT deal is that we signed it right in the middle of our Chuckles doldrums.

    The UT System Board of Regents approved a new 15-year licensing and apparel agreement with Nike worth $250 million. School officials said it's the biggest contract ever signed between a school and an apparel company. 

     

  4. What I love about Surly is that, despite the front that this is a bunch of amoralistic shitheads, the most intelligent "fan" discussions of Texas sports happens here. Like, it's possible to have differing opinions, and we at least try to get past the veneer of blind homerism for our team. We don't (generally) dogpile the fans of opposing teams if they bring something to the discussion. And if you say ignorant things like "ketch thinks" you're sent packing. In summary, fuck all of you.

    Is the rookie salary something like $75,000 cad currently?  Thats like 55k in USD. 

    Between that and auctioning his stuff on Twitter, he's more than half way to six figs. Aggy network at its finest. Whoop!
