  1. What a meltdown to end a shitty season. See ya Rodney.
  2. Dude, it hasn’t done shit some I bought it. Other uranium stocks shot up a bit but UUUU has been in the 4-6 range since I’ve been in it. I still have 4-5 grand in it but it hasn’t done anything
  3. So when does Chris Stewart get processed out? Gerry and co stated he may look at schools that are offering his brother who is a safety. We look like we are swinging at all the elite talent at every position again this year. I imagine we are going to take swings at Burroughs, Mack, Keys, Finley, Clay, Dixon-Wyatt. As for RB, based on the offers to the top guys like Crowell, Cooper… I’m guessing it’s going to be a ridiculous NIL package and they will pair one of those two with a speed guy like KJ Edwards. I’ve heard Osborne referred to being called 1B to those other two. Him taking Texas off his OV list may indicate the direction the staff is going. As much as position coaches play into decisions, I feel these elite recruitments come down to NIL and opportunity to see the field as the two biggest factors. With Wisner and Baxter being JRs this year. The RB room is wide open for a young guy to come in and be the guy. I fully expect this to be another top 3 class and would not be surprised at all if we ended up with the #1 class again. Programs get a small window to win titles. We’re very close, I imagine Sark and the donor base are basically at the point where all the chips are either already in the pot or about to be. Lets fucking go!
  4. I mean, I don’t know man. Wisner had more yards rushing and receiving, although he also had more carries. I think he had close to 1400 yards from scrimmage between rushing and receiving. I thought Wisner was outstanding last year given he was our 3rd string RB at one point and tossed into the starting role when Blue proved he couldn’t handle a big work load. Wisner is 6’0 and 200 lbs. Add 10 more pounds of muscle on him and I wouldn’t be shocked if he beats out the entire room next year for the starting job. I’m not expecting Baxter to come back and take on 15-20 touches a game. Wisner has excellent vision, balance, and, has great hands. His biggest knock was not being able to run inside due to being 200 lbs. That can change with some added muscle. He was 3rd team all SEC Yasir year. I think we see a rotation of Wisner/Baxter with Simon sprinkled in there and Gibson being our short yardage back. I watched the WVU RBs highlights and I don’t see anything that screams instant starter to me.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I’m a gummy and some shrooms in… don’t give a damn
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
