  1. What on earth is happening in this match? This is fucking surreal.
  2. You are grossly over simplifying the effort it took to get the Texas NIL program off the ground to where it is. Again - this takes a lot of people willing to put in the time and a lot of folks with "fuck you" money to spend on making sure Texas is where it should be after playing things above board while these other fucks didn't. To boot - you're using LSU and Bama as a potential fast followers? Are you fucking new here? LSU had to steal money from a children's hospital and is borderline bankrupt. Alabama is having to do the "Saban was good and got a bunch of guys drafted, so you should take less money from the new guy" schtick. You really think those back water fucks are going to be able to keep up?
  3. I can hear an audible "whoosh" going over your head. That's not what he's saying. This is coming from 2 of the fucking guys that helped figure out NIL for all of college football. To be frank - we worked our balls off to set the baseline for a sustainable NIL organization that would set Texas sports, in its entirety, for long term success. The shine is going to fade on this "money-whipping" behavior as time goes on because these are real people funding this. This is a passion project for 99.99% of them. Texas is doing this the right way, with the right people involved. Thinking about 1 or 2 players in any sport, here and there is the definition of myopic. EDIT: To further emphasize the point - throw your nuts or your checkbook on the table like we did. Otherwise, don't weigh in if you don't want to wrestle.
  4. So pretty much every 2023 NFL all-pro linebacker isn't relevant? This is a stupid fucking take on the highest level.
  5. Faraimo is no fucking joke. USC made their hay in the 2000s at linebacker with guys like that.
  6. This is correct. And the fact of the matter is, Oregon just doesn't have the depth of alumni support that Texas has after Phil Knight. Oregon is always going to be dangerous in the NIL game as long as Phil is around. Oregon is running the aggy NIL playbook at the moment to get Phil a crack a title before he passes. Texas doesn't have that "problem". EDIT: What victory88 is saying is largely correct. With NIL being what it is, you have to manage your program like a business in order for it to be sustainable over the long term.
  7. Phil Knight is 86. Oregon's NIL game will deteriorate when he kicks the bucket.
  8. The guy must have a been a real asshole for you to say something like that.
  9. We're top 2-3 if not no. 1 in NIL, have a chance at the CFP, after already making the CFP last year, have signed top 5 classes the last 3 years, and have multiple future first round picks on the roster. Maybe you're just handwringing for no reason. Or you're just a whiner.
  10. Yeah, there's zero fucking chance that actually happened. I don't understand why these fucking weirdos have to make up interactions like this. His wife must be fucking ugly if he's making up talking to two coeds while they're on vacation. If they're even on vacation for that matter.
  11. Houston is in Texas. Fuck any entitlement LSU thinks they have.
  12. Let me get this right - Him making more money now, at a school that just had two high draft picks at his position, having a future 1st round QB throwing him passes, a 10x better education, in his home state, playing with former teammates, in one of the best cities in America is a choice?
  13. Who the fuck left the door to cloak room open?
  14. That's pretty radical Larry.
  15. This is where we should be. Next year should be no different. Props to the folks that threw their collective nuts on the line to fundamentally change the CFB landscape by saying "We don't give a shit.". @SydneyCarton @closetojumping @RGBIII @immamac @SquishMitten take a bow gentlemen. Anyone else involved that I might have missed - drinks are on me the next time your're in town.
  16. True story. I've even seen him do it after drinking 5 20oz Arnold Palmers from a chain restaurant in the domain.
  17. Giving Billy Liucci the keys to the Aggy NIL machine is the most aggy shit ever. On one hand - you have a homer, douchebag, dickhead that runs a website covering your athletic teams that has so ingrained himself into their athletic department that he's become an inoperable tumor. His ability to negate posters ability to donate to their NIL fund because "they made fun of something" and banned them is fundamentally regarded. On the other hand - you have wealthy alumni that thought this was all a great idea. They thought empowering some dickweed alumnus that has no idea what he's doing in the space, that has a rep for alienating members of the fanbase because of his "feels", and has been a myopic, willfully ignorant fart-sniffing shill for over a decade, was the only choice to run point on NIL. They also get to pay him 15% in the process. I take it back, that is the most Aggy shit ever.
  18. When you see it broken down like this... holy shit that's bad.
  19. True or false - Your source fucked up the Bob Armstrong dip by spilling a margarita all over it at one of the first face to face meetings of the guys that started pancake factory.
  20. Tell me you grow your own weed without telling me you grow your own weed. Username def checks out.
  21. The corner around the 41st minute was the most egregious. Literally 5 Porto players hit the deck on that one. On the following one Ben White simply side-stepped his defender, who promptly fell down and got up looking for a call. Fucking ridiculous.
  22. It's borderline comical how many porto players hit the turf on arsenal corners.
  23. Just spitballing here but maybe that's the thought process. He knows he's borked from an NIL perspective so why not turn the roster over early in his tenure and try to instill the culture he knows how to win with? It's been said repeatedly that 80-90% of the Alabama roster was there because of Saban and took less money in the process because they knew they'd have a genuine shot at the league. Subtract Saban, $$, and add Deboer and you get a completely different dynamic. He's obviously won with this approach before. Or maybe he's dumb as fuck. Who knows.
