  1. All of that ridiculous explanation and "They are good ags" is somehow still attached.
  2. Little man in the front is pro Texas Tech. Doomed.
  3. Are you kidding me? AI Bundy was the star of Polk High.
  4. I was thinking about this the other day. If they really do impose conference roster limits due to revenue sharing as has been floated, probably the biggest beneficiary will be the B12 schools. If the B1G and SEC suddenly only allow 70 scholarships per school, then that would mean you have about 100 higher tier guys per year who would have otherwise been playing in those conferences having to find a landing spot. It could give rise to a school like Houston, Colorado, UCF, etc because they will be landing those guys that just missed the P2 cut. With reduced roster limits, I could see there being much more parity across the conferences. As an example with Texas, we may have never taken Byron Murphy, Barryn Sorrell, or Jelani McDonald late. Maybe we decide to cut the cord on Jaydon Blue out of high school for a lower risk guy. Maybe we don't stick with Christian Jones for as long as we did. Those are impactful guys on our roster that might otherwise be at Oklahoma State or TCU.
  5. Now his redass mom has an excuse and can just blame being wind chapped.
  6. Justin Wells has entered the chat. Do those golden triangle kids track and smack?
  7. I bet they make an exception for him, especially considering he never once coached for a school with any sort of history or resources, and was doing so against all the bluebloods. Plus, his impact on the game is impossible to overstate.
  8. By the time Liucci tells it, Arch will have reached out to Jimbo personally asking for A&M to double the $6 million per year NIL package that Texas desperately paid for him. But Arch ultmately was worried about… checks notes.. Marcell Reed because he beat Arch up in the parking lot at the Manning Passing Academy.
  9. Man that is embarrassing. On the other hand, it could hold some sentimental value. "Hey kid, you see that dent and that stain there? That is where Reggie Bush was blasting Kim Kardashian at halftime while coach Carroll drew up his Heisman winning play."
  10. I may be out of the loop a bit with the NFL, but I don't think most teams want a quarterback in the first round that they have to bring in with multiple loads.
  11. The are expanding the sound system and board so that the taco bell gong really hits home.
  12. Zero chance that Tech gets into the B1G for the same reasons they were a sticking point during P12 expansion round 1. They are not a good school academically, they have never won anything as a traditional football power, and they don't really deliver a market of relevance. B12 is about as good as they can do unless they got a last ditch invite from the ACC to stay afloat after a new TV deal.
  13. The Big Allstate/Allstate 12 conference is so laughably bad.
  14. My sincere hope is that this is the breakout year for Jaray Bledsoe.
  15. Abject stupidity. If Yormark actually does this he will doom the conference. That would be the about $62 million per school, which is just over 2 years of TV revenue. Not only is it a bandaid on a bullet hole with the new revenue sharing, but it will make things way worse in a couple of years once that money runs out because they will be doing the rev share plus 20% of the profits to PE. That would equate to up to 50% of their budgets going out the door. The only thing that would possibly save them is a huge jump in TV revenue, which won't happen without a flagship school. Yormark has no hope of making that up with Basketball, no matter how much he thinks he can. The only real possibility would be if he were able to lure Florida State if both the B1G and and SEC somehow gave them the stiff arm, and they have shown to be way more of a petulant child than Texas and Oklahoma ever were at less than half the value of each school.
  16. I still chuckle at their attempt to force us to play them after we announced our exit.
  17. Pinkney is the biggest asshole I have ever met who wore a Texas uniform. NCSB.
  18. Never discuss the rites or the branch on this board you muggle.
  19. They generally have quality classes, but they are not going to be getting elite talent. From who they have in the class so far, it would be the tier 2 or even tier 3 on our boards. I have no idea how their QB is considered a 5 star. His mechanics are sloppy, he doesn't have a great arm, but he has a bit of gamesmanship and sees the field pretty well.
  20. Aww, look at them taking an article associated with Mike Farrell seriously.
  21. Its a great rant, it’s just too bad he has no clue what he is talking about. Russell is really good.
