  1. Bartender- Whisky!
  2. So tell me, what is it exactly that put you over the top and made you commit to Texas? “Well, I got on Twitter and it seemed like they had a lot of momentum based on the coaches tweets.”
  3. Yea or he's recruiting extra hard for them so he wont feel as bad when he flips.
  4. I think Murphy is a great take for recruiting reasons alone. I think its a decent gamble that one of Card/Thompson pans out so in my mind we are looking for a serviceable backup if we cant get Ewers. Murphy doesnt need to be a world beater when he steps foot on campus. He needs to develop under Sark for a year while we target a stud in the 2023 class like Manning. If Murphy pans out then we have the high ceiling scenario that has earned him all of these top offers, if he doesnt he transfers out and we keep all of his buddies he convinced to jump on board. Just seems like a decent play to me, especially with the transfer portal and Sark's reputation as a QB whisperer.
  5. That plus they really like Sark as a coach. If the sister actually ends up on campus baby we got a stew goin.
  6. Whats mind bottling is why you're surprised other staffs are trying to diminish the natural advantage we have with this stuff. Its called recruiting.
  7. Because theyre on the forefront of everything cfb related. Good news is Sark had a front seat for what they were working on.
  8. I'm not taking a position, I'm trying to demonstrate how a program like Bama or Ohio State could try to use the NIL against us. The whole thing is a grey area right now, so I could easily see piece-meal data like January's social media numbers being used to represent their NIL value over us. That's a strong image and these arent typically MBA students they're pitching to.
  9. Yea keep in mind the coaches really dont know what the NIL will mean yet either. Its all smoke and mirrors, I'm just trying to come up with ways that they could use it against us. Those January numbers would demonstrate to recruits and their parents that playing in the playoff will make you money.
  10. I doubt these kids or their parents have any idea what the NIL stuff will actually mean. If I were recruiting against us, I would be trying to convince them that the real money will be in the exposure you get from playing in conference championships and playoff games. Also, social media fan engagement has gotta factor in somewhere and a kid like Stewart speaks that language. We are competitive in that space but not close to top dog. The numbers actually arent great for us if youre fighting for an absolutely elite kid that cares about that stuff. I'm sure our NIL pitch is excellent, but is it better than the current top recruiting dogs out there? Who knows. I think it's at least understandable how someone like Ewers' dad could look at the above numbers inside a recruiting pitch from the Ohio State staff, and buy into their argument that their program reloads while our program is trying to rebuild and that means they're a safer monetary bet for his son.
  11. So true, amazing television. Have you seen season 4? I've heard its completely awful and that the show wouldve done well to end after season 3.
  12. I'd imagine Day has done a good job of selling Ewers on having a sure thing ready for him to step into. They have a ton of ammo to use against us as a program. Ewers was impressed with our pitch to make him the focus of a massive NIL campaign. If Ohio State convinced him that they can do that just as well, but give him a much more likely chance at making the playoff and potentially winning a championship, then he may just be looking at it as a business decision where he stands to make more money with Ohio State. I don't know if thats true or not, but I'd bet thats a large part of where Sark needs to focus.
  13. CDC is a b teamer and this job is over his head. It almost seems like hes trying to fuck up.
  14. Yea and then at the end Banks can get on the guitar, they can all sing "free falling", and Sark can ask them to stand in front of the other recruits and publicly accept Jesus Christ into their hearts.
  15. If you're flying out of Atlanta you just start barking at the TSA agent and they let you through.
  16. She was my son's doctor when we lived in Austin. She was so helpful and calmed us down every time when our kid was struggling with frequent ear issues. I still cant believe it. Such a nice woman. Cant imagine what her family is going through right now.
  17. Texas grad and college buddy of mine just opened Memorial Trail Ice House. He did a fantastic job. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/08-12-19-memorial-trail-ice-house-new-bar-washington-avenue-juergen-building-john-shaeffer/#slide=4
