  1. I think "diversity" in this context is a euphemism for having more black people specifically. Which is...understandable, I suppose, for a black family. That said, it's unfortunate that race is an issue in this at all. For many reason, but mostly because I'm tired of hearing about it on this thread.
  2. Beating Bama on the road then going 6-3 in Big 12 play would be horrifically on brand. I always assume that Texas is going to perform just well enough to keep me coming back while still mule-kicking me in the dick at the worst possible time. Can't be disappointed unless you have expectations. Sorry, my fingers slipped. What I meant to type was "show me a loss you fucking pussies."
  3. Brother, you are either blind or Katfid if you don't think she is plus value in a threesome.
  4. It's even worse than that. We said they could help us eat the bread, even after doing none of the work, but they were indignant that we got an extra slice.
  5. The really impressive trick that he's pulled is being in the eye of the storm while also keeping people in the dark. It's easy to avoid tipping your hand if you just literally don't tell anyone anything. But to put information out there that chums the water and keeps the frenzy going, while still not giving away where you're going, is extremely difficult. Him / his people have put on a class.
  6. I watched it all the way through, you didn't miss anything. Milroe has some wheels. Simpson has the best arm, but that's like being the tallest midget. They're going to need to win on the ground this season.
  7. I just don't understand how college football recruiting can be different from any other kind of professional recruiting. C.R.E.A.M. is the first and most important rule. Other shit matters, but nothing comes close to money. In the past, Texas has lost recruits over much smaller, bag-game sums of money, despite being the better school academically, in a better location, with better facilities, etc. etc. etc. Now we've got NIL, which has so much more fiscal potential compared to bags, on top of all the other natural advantages. Maybe Simmons is different and maybe LSU has better NIL than I think they do, but I just can't shake myself out of the mindset that money makes the world go round. If LSU is in a straight bidding war, then it's already lost. The question is just how long Simmons' people are able to work the bidders. Name, Likeness, and Image makes just as much sense as Name, Image, and Likeness, but doesn't really roll of the tongue.
  8. I sense Scott Freeman lurking behind every corner.
  9. Nothing really new on Simmons. The insiders are sticking to their guns, both staffs are cautiously optimistic. The McKinley and Mack updates are nice - not a ringing endorsement, but that's about as much confidence as I've come to expect from Roach.
  10. I’m certainly not an expert, but you start to have those concerns when the guy is in his second season and hasn’t shown improvement. Could be that he has a longer learning curve and it will click eventually, but he looked spastic. Just flailing around, getting pushed and pulled wherever the tackle wanted him to go. Either way, I doubt he’ll be seriously contributing this season.
  11. He looked awful in the spring game. Dude has the physical tools, but zero technique.
  12. It’s like someone looked at Kate Beckinsale and had the audacity to think “I can make that better.”
  13. The fact that Texas has so much to offer Simmons - playing time, NIL, proximity to family, etc. - but he's trending to LSU anyway makes me think the kid always wanted to go to LSU. You grow up liking a team, thinking they're cool, and it gets incorporated into your identity. It's hard to overcome that, especially when the it's a team like LSU, who obviously has plenty to offer as well. Frustrating, but I'm getting the impression this was an uphill battle from the start. More than anything, I'm annoyed at how badly I let the guys at IT pull my dick back in June.
  14. Burton and Justin mentioned on one of the recent videos that Patterson is probably not returning. Nothing's decided, but it is looking increasingly unlikely.
  15. Oh cool, religion and politics in the realignment thread.
  16. Are they wearing pads, or is it just shorts and helmets today? If no pads, why would anyone have on a green jersey?
  17. C'mon now. You can do better than that.
