  1. But coming back to this, this Demond Williams ordeal is a much bigger story if this drags on and isn't settled quickly . QBs are the hottest commodity, UW desperately wanted to keep him and he reportedly agreed to a $5 million contract. The stakes are high with this situation.
  2. Yes, we know you are a sicko, DD.
  3. No, I was talking to a good friend before the portal opened last week and we were lamenting all the massive changes and the circus CFB has become. I know that Texas benefits from the influx of huge $$$ in the sport, but I still hate it. What made CFB special has gone away. I know change is inevitable, but these changes are a disaster and they need to start finding some band-aids.
  4. Thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread where people can vent about what College Football has become and try to contain the negativity about it in here. I mean, WTF. This is all so fucking sad and disappointing. I'm glad players are getting paid. But not putting any guardrails on any of this NIL/transfer/Portal stuff was a HUGE mistake. I acknowledge that the sport hasn't been "pure" for a while, but these recent changes have completely destroyed what we all loved and grew up with. I know the TV ratings have increased, but I don't buy that as proof that CFB is thriving. If I had to guess, the massive influx of legal gambling over the last couple of years (particularly with younger people) has probably contributed to the ratings spike, along with the fact that football has become the holdover live TV event people will watch in this streaming era. I've been a huge Texas and CFB fan for 35 years. I'm not gonna stop, I'm too invested. But the future is bleak IMO. This dumb, practically lawless circus will catch up with the sport sooner than later.
  5. At some point there need to be consequences for this bullshit instead of just fixing it with more $$$.
  6. The Demond Williams story is a big one. That guy was UW's prized possession, dude is an electric college QB with big potential this year. If he indeed signed a contract with the Huskies, then UW will understandably scream bloody murder. This portal shit is completely out of control.
  7. So let it be written, so let it be done.
  8. Fuck Grok. Stop posting that shit, please.
  9. So what has broken people's brains here? Social media? AI? The gubmint?
  10. By itself, this is a positive development. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Man, think about how much better Arch will be next season when he's not living with a guy that was probably lacing his Eggos.
  12. First, the grifters went to Minnesota. Mission accomplished. California up next. We all see what's happening here. MAGA citizens being protected by the Trump administration to go after elected Democrats (and potential Presidential candidates). We are at war.
  13. Planting the seeds. 2025 was horrific, but 2026 is going to be WAY worse. Polling will continue to to plummet for Republicans. They are going to attempt to cancel mid-terms.
  14. Check out the play 50 seconds in with the pass to Wingo. Look at his jab step in the pocket to open up a throwing lane. Whew. His pocket instincts are soooo good. Still so much room for improvement with Arch, but goddamn he's got some impressive tape already.
  15. I mean, we effectively don't have a Democratic Party. Or a Republican Party. Just Trump and his goons.
  16. Serious question: As of right now, what player has Texas lost to another school in the portal so far? I think if there in any lesson for Bobby and OTF right now, it's that things aren't gonna move as fast as they were hoping or expecting. Lots of ins and outs and what have yous. This is the first time Texas is heavily invested in getting a lot of portal players. They are clearly all in with the number of kids who have visited so far.
  17. 6 of those then go to bed and give her the Axis of Evil if you know what i mean
  18. I mean, wouldn't Coleman be the only potential "loss" as of right now? Baugh and Brown didn't enter the portal, so you shouldn't count those IMO.
  19. Losing CC to aggy would really suck, but the bitchassedness really has been turned up on Surly over the last few months. JFC. The lesson here is not about what 9.95ers say. It's that the Portal is a fucking zoo and incredibly chaotic. Think of all the variables involved. You have dozens of desperate P4 schools reaching out to thousands of players. The reality for us fans is that we are completely in the dark with portal action/negotiations/$$ offers, at least compared to HS recruiting. We don't know jack shit about the details, and it's a fucking battlefield out there. If you can't handle it, maybe log off and come back in a couple of weeks to see what we ended up with. Good grief.
  20. Miller is a clear cut psychopath. How can any human being listen to him speak and think "yeah, I like this guy and feel comfortable with him in power"?
  21. My god.
