Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
It’s ALL Texas’ fault. Players around the country, in every program, were minding their own business, preparing for the spring semester, when they spied mountains of 5 star Texas players sprinting into the portal, like the 49 Gold Rush. As soon as they saw that, they too decided in a remarkably short period of time, to also enter the portal. Texas ruined college football.

One positive from all of the portal lack of success is that Florida and Michigan have had to shell out a lot more money.

I think most reasonable fans can understand missing on players in the portal, and losing guys off your roster because they can attract higher offers than the value given to them by the staff. Wisner looks to have been a good call. And the Texas strategy of going after Michigan talent made/makes a lot of sense given the coaching situation. However, everyone, especially coaches, should damn well know that teenagers are fickle, the portal is chaos, and anything can happen. The backup plans need to be in place and being executed. If the staff is pursuing plan B’s under the radar so as to not tip off other schools, then get it. It makes sense. As long as the plan B’s close. But if they really don’t have plan B’s, or didn’t do enough grooming of the plan B’s, then that’s just some stupid ass management. It shouldn’t even be 10 days before we see that. Given the criticality of the OL, plan B’s should be done by the end of this week.

I guess we will learn in the next ~10 days whether Sark and Harris can manage this complexity on their own effectively, or whether they’ve ended up with a roster of 55 players and a bunch of cripples.

If even Satya doesn’t think we missed out on good OL here, then it must be true, and he has brightened my day.

And it proves he’s doing nothing in this thread but trolling. He’s unfunny, unknowledgeable, and his dog hates him. He should get a timeout from this thread for being a chode.

My 2026 Health Insurance Premium Increase
We have the same issue. We both get care at Mayo Clinic, and no Texas ACA plans accept it. So despite being pretty well off financially and no need to work, my wife works so we have access to Mayo. It’s ridiculous. Oh, and Mayo costs are as low or lower than any other provider on Texas so it doesn’t even financially make sense.

My 2026 Health Insurance Premium Increase
Medicare for all sounds interesting, but the one thing the system has today is a high level of competition for large businesses. So insurance company rates for large companies are significantly lower than other segments. A lot of them are self insured. So whatever is done needs to make sure there’s competition that providers care about, because if it’s just the individual negotiating for themself, then all companies will just raise rays with no governor because they can withstand losing an individual rather than a company. It allows the providers to essentially price fix.

academic fuckery at aggy
I am really concerned about the future for Texas public universities. High quality faculty and professors don’t teach or do research at Texas or Texas A&M because they pay the best. They come because it’s where they want to be and live. State dipshits making it unappealing to most, if not all faculty, will create a very significant brain drain.

The depth at C is so bad, they need him even if they bring in another combo IL

With The Wyoming guy not panning out and Texas wanting Robertson back, I think that’s going to work out. Should be some good news coming.

Just reviewed the roster again. The OL, and guard/center position in particular, is one of the worst situations I’ve seen in Texas roster history. They can’t even field the position. It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe there aren’t five other OL in play right now, or maybe there are. It’s the worst management of a position I’ve ever seen.

A few thoughts from this train wreck of a thread: If you’re hung up on “all-in”, did you not watch that exact same thing happen with the Cowboys? Jerry said all-in and got roasted. It probably wasn’t the best term to use by the 9.95rs but don’t read too much into a generic hyphenated term. As to all the bickering, as I posted elsewhere a few weeks ago, that is part of the charm of surly. I’ve developed pretty thick skin over the years. However, when the bickering starts really causing reasonably good posters to not post their thoughts because of fear of being lambasted not for a stupid post but for a different viewpoint or innocent thought, that’s not productive or good for site content. And we want good content. With that said, I’ve been an ass many times over the years because of what I felt were stupid takes, but I decided to be a little more civil going forward, because it’s good for site content. A little. Not a lot. Finally, I’ve met Bobby, Sydney, CTJ, and others on this site, and know who scramblyn is, and the shit that erupted this morning isn’t helpful. These are all good people as far as I know.

The posters in this thread who are either too pessimistic or too pollyannaish this early in the portal period are annoying.

That was really the basis/fear for my earlier question.

Given all the special teams and TE commits, does that mean Banks has got his shit together better than certain others on the coaching staff?
