    Something is off here. How is there not a 2000 word post on why Texas would never join the Sec because of some bizarre holier than thou rant that includes historical writings.

    Appreciate the comments. Money has to come from somewhere, though. Presumably from someone with a vested interest in Texas being successful. No way that these coaches just up and transfer bag dropping to any school they go to. as I write this my guess is you are talking shoe money which isn’t school specific and explains my above questions hopes of being good in football now squashed

    To pivot this discussion a bit, because we are in agreement that Beard is either continuing the rule bending of his predecessors or taking it to the next level, can we assume that this will be the model for football. I mean if we are truly stepping up , I have to think cdc is aware or at least signaling that he is ok being ignorant of it. If so, is this a test case for what we can and will do for the football program where it is sorely needed? Is football held on such a mantel that it is off limits for such actions? Is it a case of the proper alumni doing what they need to do in basketball but not football? thoughts welcome

    Popcorn gif. ready for comments after people read beard is cheating article from bitterwhiteguy.

    Forget where I picked it up - maybe an aggy site- but I thought Anderson is being sold on see the talent up front defensively which will make your job on the back end easier. Is it an easy sell on what aggy is bringing on the DL compared to Texas?
  6. mantis toboggan
    Same here, although is my memory correct that he had confidence in Banks also?
  7. mantis toboggan
    All true. I think my issue is that the Banks miss was so bad it’s hard to understand. Every other outlet (Texas and non Texas) had it correct that it wasn’t UT once he moved up the date. Those tits ignored the obvious up until the end. In that case they definitely did not know more than anyone (me included). im not giving them shit on Williams. Everyone had that fucked including our staff most likely. On the OLs - that is a low bar for being correct. Again everyone knew what that choice was way before any announcement. I’ll get over it, for sure, but the job they did on Banks was considerably bad. It reminded me of 3figs level reporting. In any event it gives me pause in their Anderson reporting.
  8. mantis toboggan
    IT has shown it really doesn’t know shit based on Banks. This should be assumed until they get something correct. Hopefully Anderson is it but I don’t get the warm fuzzies when aggy gets the last word.

    Does getting a qb (Levi) (Eli) name wrong diminish the credibility of the report? Probably not any lower after the Banks turd.

    This reads as Sark is unable to implement what is necessary to compete with programs that land top players that may have a sudden “change of heart” and choose Aggy, Oregon, Georgia, etc after a visit to those schools and a meet with the built in bag man. Does this change your previous take that we are implementing a type 2 recruiting infrastructure that you described?

    When asked if his picks were wild guesses his response was “not really”.
  12. mantis toboggan
    Thanks. Close enough. 3rd eye photography rings a bell.
  13. mantis toboggan
    Maybe the crack slinging background was an indicator?
  14. mantis toboggan
    In my day I recall someone driving through the glasses store at Guadalupe and maybe 24th? Seems like it was before the rice game and maybe a mike Adam’s involvement. Maybe a Pinckney? Or that could all be bullshit to justify the loss (Which can’t be done). Any one else have this memory?
  15. mantis toboggan
    That bullshit narrative gets repeated by our sites as well and it is tiring.
  16. mantis toboggan
    So I am getting irritated when I keep reading about Jumbo getting personally involved with x recruit. Is the reasonable deduction here that Sark is not getting involved? If he is not then why the fuck not on these recruits that could make or break a class? Since I choose to believe that that can’t be the case, it is a bullshit line from the 995ers. Another possibility could be that Sark is involved but just not as effective as Jimbo. in all scenarios i am not gruntled.

    Apologies to Bruh Man.
  19. mantis toboggan
    I must ask. Is Bruh Man a dip shit or just being deliberately obtuse?
  20. mantis toboggan
    Why can’t we have good things?
  21. mantis toboggan
    Thanks Gerry.
  22. mantis toboggan
    Another good data point that we are dabbling at the very least. I would like to know our commitment and the time it takes to get an effective process up and running
  23. mantis toboggan
    It’s fair to take the position we are not cheating. The results so far lend to that conclusion. My assumptions were based on info posted here by CTJ who I believe to be connected and the obvious hiring of coaches who own monkeys that have the reputation. To make those hires has to mean something
  24. mantis toboggan
    For my well being I am going to assume a lot of this is anger from being so wrong/behind on the Banks recruitment. Taking out their bullshit on UT s ability to close. Jesus I hope so.
  25. mantis toboggan
    I know. That is what is the problem. Everyone on the planet knew Banks eliminated Texas prior and IT was clinging to fantasy. Even if bags were dropped IT was too stupid to pick up on that and should explain why they were the last ones in the world to see it. I assume they can’t. Separately from the above and not IT related, I am curious as to the development of our bag game and why it is not more effective. We are bringing in seemingly random guys from the heart of Alabama and Georgia for visits like we have not done before and fighting known bag dropping schools for players that seem to consider only schools known for such activities so I deduce (along with hints from insiders) that we are ready to play the game. hoping it just takes time to get an effective process in motion because we damn well need it.
