    They will go through the 5 stages of grief, mourning our win. They will get stuck on phase 1 of grieving the obvious implication.

    Demas has been pretty vocally pro-ag. It would be a little surprising but immensely entertaining to see him decommit. He wouldn’t ever affect us either way— I can’t imagine a true Fr WR would make much difference at LSU.
  3. Magus Ossis
    Wait. What's that thing he keeps doing with his arms? One goes up on either side of almost every guy he hits, and they sort of clamp down.

    Landthieves will look good against all the filler on their schedule. They will roll into the OU game 5-0, highly ranked, and rested. After we slap them around, they will run off wins against WVU and KSU to perch themselves as the favorite to face us in the CCG for a rematch rematch. Their last 4 games might just trip them up (crosses fingers). I expect a good chance for each of ISU, Baylor, TCU, and OSU to be motivated and dangerous.

    A brief look at where we were going into year three of a coaching regime, last 20 years Texas 1999 record 9-5. Last 3 games at aggy L, B12CCG at Alamodome to UNL L, Cotton to arky L. Top 2000 recruits (#6 class) Chance Mock and the big 3 receivers. 2000 result: 9-3, L in Holiday Bowl to #8 Oregon Texas 2015 record 5-7. Last 3 games at WVU L, TTU L, at Baylor W. Top 2016 recruits (#7 class) Duv, Jones, Shark, Hudson. 2016 result: 5-7, beat ND to start season but missed bowl after 3 game skid. Texas 2018 record 10-4. Last 3 games at KU W, B12 CCG at Jerryworld to OU L, W in Sugar Bowl over #5 UGA. Top 2019 recruits (#3 class) Bru, J Whit, J Smith, T Johnson. 2019 result:???

    Plenty of people who bother to visit Stanford come away nonplussed and yearning for the wonder all its own that is aggy.

    I remember when he was interviewing for a residency spot. Looks like he ended up at aggy/TempleS&W and stayed on afterward as faculty.

    Shep has surprised me. His head's being screwed on right was my big concern based on much of the apparent drama in the recruitment. He so far seems to be getting in line with all the other ducks very nicely. His talent gives him a chance to make a very big difference should this hold up. Lindberg is rather the opposite; he is unlikely to wash out, drop out, or fail out, but he is not as much of a physical freak.

    Offered, signed, attending with 2019 class = initial counter for 2019. If he is unable to play, we could medically retire him and get him off the 85 limit. If he does play and pans out, we could later apply for an extra year of eligibility should he RS one of his remaining 4 after 2019. Watching his recovery from afar (and through a figurative keyhole), I have gone from skeptical he would even attend UT to thinking he will some day see the field.
  11. Magus Ossis
    I like the Karic take. If Lindberg projects to "serviceable swing guy in year 3," I think a good case can be made that we are better off not devoting a scholarship to him. That seems like a need that a GT could fill without eating the anticipatory years (and, if not needed, the later ones) of 1/85 of our stipend roster. Add in the phenomenal talent we appear to be in good shape to land in 21, and saving a slot for targets of opportunity is wiser.

    I wonder to what degree some of the “weak links” on our coaching staff add to the apparent great evals. It might partially explain their otherwise apparently excessive tenure.

    It was, completely without the knowledge of the trainers, slipped into the players' normal HGH and DHT supplements.

    And branding adds to the perception (reality) of the value of the content. Quantity without quality doesn't move the ad revenue needle very effectively. Convincing a restaurant to buy Sand Cola from your distributorship after you drop your Coca Cola offerings isn't going to be easy or particularly profitable.

    T&P to Jackson. Richardson and Spiller both have talent to play RB for them. How far they drop from Williams' production will depend on whether a certain transfer eats himself out of the position as he was rumored to have done at his previous school, how well a true freshman adapts to what aggy is doing on offense, and how well a thin room stays healthy. Normally I would expect RB to be one of the better opportunities for a true FR to contribute, but pass pro with the OL they are running out there will take yet another hit.

    Looks legit. Someday we will be as good as USCe.

    That law is going to jump up and bite someday when the wrong DA gets a wild hair. For now, though, it appears to be a waste of ink on state paper.
  20. Magus Ossis
    No one is leaving the big 10 unless/until that conference stops completely crushing the media revenue landscape. Cornholers may have been petty and stupid to leave, but they have fallen into a goldmine. They are in position potentially to make more from their rights than we do, LHN included, once they go to full share.
  21. Magus Ossis
    Never let your scorn for aggy cloud the fact that PedState and Baylor are the worst of the worst.
  22. Magus Ossis
    Only if he can stay close enough to be in-frame.

    Value is inherently subjective. The US government and others have variously had confiscation programs for, among other items, gold and weapons. What one chooses to use as an investment, a store of value, a hedge, or a medium of exchange is really based on assumptions about how likely certain events are. As the man said, predicting is difficult, especially when you're talking about the future. If you think civilization will hang on somehow, there are many non-survivalist-nut options. Otherwise, it almost doesn't matter. You can't possibly stash enough to make yourself impervious to raiding-- there are literally billions of other humans out there, with only a very small fraction needed to overwhelm your guns, cameras, dried food, water filter, off-grid power, etc.
