  1. Also Jim Vertuno is a really good dude
  2. All of those senator bitches are going to fuck around and find out. HWH is unconcerned
  3. FUCK...why didnt the coaching staff think of that?
  4. Take a fucking breath folks, yall wont make it to december at this rate
  5. Hey my alma mater, we fucking sucked at basketball when I was there but still the only squad to beat TJ Ford in HS. Hakeem Olajuwon's son also goes to Clements
  6. Nobody in this industry I trust more than random IT posters for their ability to evaluate talent
  7. I prefer thicccc Tom Herman. And part of my optimism is that thing we are in a group text about, let’s see if it goes our way. I can definitely get your sense of talking out of both sides of his mouth though, we shall see Depends on which Tom Herman we are looking at at the time. I wish I could pull off coke bender Herman, I think I’m closer to G2 and vodka Herman. I also never considered that aspect of paying the charities, that’s actually pretty ingenious…I need to look over that a bit more
  8. I believe Sydney said I have the mentality and disposition of a golden retriever....shockingly accurate
  9. Ya things have changed significantly. Is it where I want it to be, nope but it’s much better than when they literally thought this would be kids selling tshirts
  10. Mathis and Dicker made two realllllly fucking stupid decisions that could really impact this team this year
  11. This is EXACTLY what we need. There were 100k people in the stadium for a game against UTSA, if 1% of that number could give us 5k a year we would be funded in perpetuity
  12. This is fucking stupid and untrue. Go ask the Bama AD how their coffers looked before and how they look since Saban took over. we have full support of the AD and have had multiple donors referred to us by the LHF. Hell he hosted the large donor drive that has been referenced previously Ummmm how do you think that exactly happened? 5-7 coming off a loss to Kansas and we suddenly have a top 3 recruiting class? Kids simply want to wear burnt orange and live in Austin? This guy is wrong. Yes bags came out, it’s called budgeting. Same with Matthews and even Hill. We can stay in the convo but when schools decide to pay a second tier corner half of what our entire OL is being paid yearly….. Our offer was nearly double what Nebraskas was for Mathis. GP and PK fucked that one up I don’t know who the fuck he is so….no We haven’t had a single person just outright refuse to participate unless they are broke/are involved with much bigger things. HWH has a tougher road to achieve our baseline because the people that could fund it entirely are involved in other avenues. It’s one thing to contribute to get a five star. It’s another to set the baseline which is paying kids that you potentially don’t want to. No one wants Max Merrill to get 50k, would you give even .1% of your wealth to someone like that Lol
  13. Was a very good time. I don’t remember that much of it. @ztejas you were being a cunt, stop doing that. The rest of y’all were…..fine. Surly horns podcast will be hilarious. Fuck that courier and @immamac don’t hire fuckers off Craigslist lol
  14. Me: I’m not going to buy into the hype me now:
  15. I think we are always supposed to assume these milf home wreckers are Kendra Scott
  16. He has a signed and accepted contract from Horns with Heart…their deals are structured monthly
  17. The big news I alluded to earlier that took fucking forever. We now have all Pancake factory members under contract AND more importantly, we are now accepting crowd sourced donations... Remember these are all tax deductible! https://donate.stripe.com/8wM8wy0kzdGg42Q144
  18. https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/friday-nil.415063/ As part of my job, I’ve researched, interviewed and talked to folks across the country regarding NIL, to administrators and companies not only focused on Texas players, but on other schools as well. As a result, I’ve heard just about all of the pitches out there. There is a consistent theme among them. It always appears that most of those companies are taking a significant portion of the rake. An NFT? A player might get only 50-60 percent of what a fan spends on a token. An invitation-only club? Just 70 or 80 percent of the total donation, minus additional fees, usually goes to the players based on my read of some of those agreements. I don’t begrudge those companies trying to make money. Far from it. It’s just that I know most Texas fans want to see Longhorns players succeed as much or more than they do those businesses. ** At Texas, there is an alternative available to fans, an organization that is fundamentally different. And that organization is Horns With Heart, aka The Pancake Factory. Horns With Heart is dedicated to paying no less than 90-percent of all funds raised to the players. That includes all credit card charges, contract fees, and the fees associated with the service-oriented work required of the players. Furthermore, any donation is 100-percent tax deductible because HWH is a 501-c3 organization approved by the IRS. ** The Pancake Factory has already committed to paying every Texas offensive lineman $50,000 a year in return for their service work in the community. Now, Horns With Heart wants to do even more, and it’s strictly up to Texas fans and donors to determine just how much they are able to accomplish. If you want to help the NIL efforts of Horns With Heart at any denomination, I’ve included a link to their donation page below. ** Learn more about Horns With Heart. Horns With Heart hornswithheart.org Additionally, the president of Horns With Heart has agreed to answer any questions you might have about their endeavors here in this thread.
