I imagine this has more to do with work life balance. Choice probably doesn't need the money. With a new born, being on the road all the time, constantly having to recruit on the phone probably wears on you. Texas has gone from a coaching graveyard to a place where people come and can advance their careers, I'll take that compared to the alternative.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!
victory88 replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Contributing at DT as a freshman is probably one of the harder positions to do it at considering you need a grown man body and strength. Terry looks physically ahead of the curve but I imagine will still need more weight. On a side note, Sark and company have had a very high hit rate on the 5 stars they have brought in. The only one so far that has not contributed meaningful snaps as a freshman has been Filsame. Not going to count Johntay as a 5 star but we have hit big on Arch, Baxter, Wingo, Simmons, Banks, Hill, Derek Williams (pre-injury). Baker, Kobe Black look like they should contribute next year. Pretty damn good hit rate. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

Gerry has basically been hammering that Turntine is a LT and will be a high level top 5 type of prospect. It was interesting that Ojo said that the staff told him he was the top tackle on their board. Maybe I misheard the interview so apologize in advance if that was wrong. I will say, the staff has stuck to their guns with regards to the type of OL and DL they want to sign. Turntine’s measurables are all over the place online but I think he’s somewhere around 6’3 275 lbs, which isn’t a body type this staff has recruited on the OL. Obviously I hope we get him but curious where the staff has him pegged on their board and what position. -
Honestly, I tune in for the bigger games. Every time I watch, this offense looks like it has no flow to it, no rhythm, every pass looks hesitant, shots look hesitant, can’t rebound. I watched almost every game the elite 8 season, what a fun team to watch. As a casual fan, this is just hard to watch.

Have You Ever W2'ed $1,000,000 in a single year?
victory88 replied to Vegas64's topic in Business and Markets
I don't know of anyone that earns a $1 mil W2 income. And why the hell would you want to and pay an enormous amount of tax. If you are making 7 figures, you can afford to buy a business or are likely smart enough to start and run one where you can "make" way less, work less, and keep the same amount post tax dollars and have actual equity in a business that you can sell. ' Work smarter, not harder to get to that number. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

Great post but I don’t exactly agree with the thoughts about Flood. He may not have recruited Hayden Connor and Jake Major, but he got them to play at a high enough level that there is a chance 1 if not 2 of those will get drafted. Dude turned Christian Jones into a draft pick and what he did with Cam Williams was amazing. Cam came in around 375 -389 pounds. They reshaped his body and there were moment this year Cam was down right dominant for a 1st year starter. There were also times he was a liability but the dude is about to be a 1st 2nd round pick after 1 year of playing. We’ve had a very good run game for Sark entire tenure here and this year was full of high highs and low lows. I’ll chalk that up to us having a RB that can’t run inside a QB that isn’t a run threat what so ever. This is the best OL play I’ve seen at Texas since 2005. What he’s done with Goosby is also amazing. Dude will very likely be a 1 year starter and the NFL is going to knock on his door if he has a year anything close to Cam due to his size and athleticism. After securing the 2022 class, which is likely going to go down as the best OL haul in Texas history, he still managed to get Cruz and Baker, high end prospects, along with developing guys like Goosby, Kibble, Chatman. Hell even Agbo has had good moments. I think he’s probably going to pull a great fucking class this year and I bet our run game looks a lot better next year with Arch and more capable RBs. If there is anything I want to critique him for this year, it’s all the damn penalties. That shit needs to stop. -
The dude will burn through whatever NIL he got if you see his instagram. He's basically spending it all on stupid designer clothes. Don't feel sorry for kids like him that have talent, are given opportunity on a big stage, have been paid, and squander it. He also spends a lot on his social media getting into it with random people commenting on his page. Just a complete moron.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!

Also factor in, does it make sense to keep Williams on the payroll? He will be back from a torn ACL in fall camp. When is he truly going to be ready to play, by October? McDonald got valuable reps this year and played well. Jonah Williams is supposedly the highest rated DB every to sign with Texas. Is Williams going to beat out McDonald, Taafe, Williams, JJR and is he going to stay past his Jr year? May as well let a school like LSU keep him on payroll while we use those funds on a better ROI. -

It would be foolish for him to stay. If Baxter is healthy, he’s going to be RB 3 next year. He just had 4 TDs in the last 2 play off games. He should go now, hope he gets drafted in the mid to late rounds and try to make a roster. He can’t run inside the tackles, fumbles, and isn’t the best pass protector. His stock isn’t going to get any higher staying at Texas.- 7916 replies

Game Week Thread 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
victory88 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Man, I'm an idiot for buying tickets last Saturday. Same tickets are now half the price. I could have had borderline field seats for what I paid or upper section of lower bowl. -
I love the he's a shitty play caller posts when he's known in the coaching world as one of the best play callers and play scripters. So much so that 2 hall of fame coaches hired him to run their offense and call their plays in Pete Carroll and Nick Saban. Even elite play callers will have shitty series, and shitty games. Hell, I've seen plenty of games where Sark dials up a brilliant play only for someone to drop a pass, miss a block, or over throw a WR. I have a lot of gripes about yesterday's game but Sark can fucking call plays as long as he wants because whomever we hire to replace him is very likely to be a fuck ton worse. We're in the semi's two years in a row, maybe let's keep doing what is working. Criticizing Sark is fair game but I think jumping to the idea that he should give up play calling is a stretch. I also can't imagine he's going to do that. Dude rubs shoulders and meets with Shanahan, McVay, McDaniels, Andy Reed every offseason to discuss schemes/plays in the and he's going to give up control of his offense to some young dude that may or may not know 1/10th of what he does?

I know Bond is blazing fast and has likely still injured but he's essentially been a non factor since before ou I feel. I'm not sure a recall him making a significant play outside of the the UGA TD in our 1st match up. If anything, I seem to recall a lot more negative plays where he looks lost on a route, bad hands, bad blocking, and poor effort. He was making a lot of plays for us prior to his injury so I'll give him the benefit of doubt and assume he's still injured. I think coming back for another year could definitely improve his draft stock. Not sure I'd touch him in the 1st two rounds considering what he's put on film after the 1st 4 games of this season.
