  1. This is the way. Revenue sharing will establish the floor. And some institutions floors will be higher than others although in the SEC and B1G it will be pretty close. NIL will be the ceiling, and Texas' ceiling will be amongst the highest in the nation.
  2. Nice to hear that before the game unlike past coaches who would bring it up after.
  3. I just want the OU game to be partly cloudy and in the 70's is that too much to ask?
  4. "I'll retire and go quietly after this next year."
  5. Favorite thread of the year
  6. Hark! The 4 certainties of life: Death Taxes The English language changing Older generations bitching about #3 Not to put pearls before swine here, but some of y'all fly rinks don't know your onions and are sounding like butter and egg men. Methinks you're keen as mustard to spend a fortnight on a load of codswallop. Unfortunately you've got your knickers in a twist over nothing and created a thread chock a block with bad assumptions - truly a dog's breakfast. Instead, go have a chinwag with someone younger than you, and if they're mad as a hatter and the conversation goes pear shaped and is giving you happy returns, tell them to put a sock in it. Otherwise, let's just take the egg and let's all get back to talking about having our flag out at a red onion and amorous congress between Mr. John's Goodfellow and Mrs. Fubbs' Parlor. with apologies to @Armybrat
  7. Love that hat. Unfortunately the New Era hats don't fit my head, i have a huge oval head and they're more for round normal-sized heads. I either have to size up and have goofy gaps over my ears where it flares out or size correctly and it's really fucking tight. The Nike team-issued fitted hats work well though. That's a sweet hat though.
  8. Did they fly over today? If so I totally missed them
  9. NSIAP
  10. Looks like UM is playing down and VT having their best game of the season. At least I won Army last night, house money etc
  11. This is where we need that fake Surly newspaper screenshot that people post: "Surly's Derka Makes the Perfect Call - Computer Fails to Execute! Theories abound as to why, but experts agree the most likely reason is a deep and vast wide ranging conspiracy to cheat and screw Derka! EA executives did not comment for this article, but sources say that they are preparing an apology for their lack of programming competencies and plan to present it to Derka soon!"
  12. Put your bets here... For Friday I'm taking Miami (FL) -17.5 vs. VT. Haven't looked at Saturday yet, my tradition is to do it in the morning. Any games y'all really like this weekend spread wise?
  13. Didn't we see data last year that the later you get in the day, the worse a game draws for TV on average? That's why we have "Big Noon" and not "Big Prime time" matchups. I'd expect the game to be 2:30p.
  14. Yep. People who bitch about "the game is fucking me!" have definitely never watched actual humans play college football. 18-21 year olds do stupid shit and aren't robots and sometimes (gasp!) receivers don't cut off a route when the ball is mid-flight and the DB does, because the DB is facing the QB and the receiver may not be - this is not shocking behavior. You can bitch about all that, or do what I do, turn the game on Freshman mode and then every play is an actual touchdown and the game-within-the-game becomes "how much can I score?" I think my max so far on default Freshman settings is 138 or so that I put on OU. Of course that was with several pick 6's, onside kicking every time, etc. I had 3 receivers over 300 yards each and Baxter ran for 350. Trey Moore won the Heisman that season with about 70 sacks. Life is too short - why add extra frustration? Just turn off your brain and enjoy the fun of pounding OU and A&M by 17 touchdowns.
  15. Doesn't UNLV have an actual giant slot machine on their sideline that they use for celebrations when they score or get a turnover? This ship between Vegas and college sports has sailed.
  16. Yeah I’m officially a sicko now
  17. Is there another sport that has as big a jump from high school to pros as the NFL? Maybe golf? Track and field?
  18. The issue is that if he frames it that way as to why he's shutting it down it becomes pfp and basically puts a middle finger up to the NCAA. Safer for him to frame the real reason for sitting as something else. AKA lying.
  19. No he didn't. He said "certain representations about opportunities" weren't met. He can just say that they promised him that the offense would be more pass oriented and he wasn't given the ability to showcase his talent, or whatever. If the collectives can say with a straight face that NIL isn't pfp and stand on the legalities of the contract while everyone knows the wink wink part in the background, no reason he can't too.
  20. I don't see the issue here.
  21. I guess if he's ready to retire from football? For a potential win of...$60K? He's good enough to go back down to FCS and play again, but that ends when you start suing the school, coaches, or university adjacent entities like the collective.
  22. I know this was a post in jest but now re-do this in a world where the Astros and all MLB teams are not allowed to pay players directly, and the only way players can make money is via the deals they can get from businesses in the area and fans of the Astros. Then imagine Lima gets promised $xMM/yr in those deals to come to Houston and then the deals don't deliver. He should still play for "free" because the deal was just for his NIL, right? Because it's not pfp? The interesting thing in this UNLV example that belies the "not pfp" myth is here we have a player who is clearly NOT getting paid...and as a result they are choosing NOT to play. Kinda seems like he thought it was pfp...
  23. Yep we are in “violent agreement,” and I think/hope most surly posters understand that the actual contract doesn’t have any pfp statements, or enforcement mechanisms. Posters are looking “beyond the paper of the contract” at the real drivers and seeing the wink wink part. When rev share shows up it will clean much of this up as you say.
