Can our big donors get off their fucking asses for like one second and just build an airport in Lafaeytte? What are we even doing here?

 

Apparently we just need JSX to start flying Lafayette to Austin on Saturday mornings and Austin to Lafayette on Sunday mornings.

If Gerry said that, he has to mean that "it helps A&M (at the expense of tOSU and OU, not relative to Texas)".
The difference between Lafayette - CS and Lafayette - Austin is only an hour.

I took it as a reason a&m has risen, the reality of Friday night hs football in Lafayette and Saturday college football has put a premium on miles from home.

Computer Science is the new Petroleum Engineering of hot majors. I’m glad UT has a good program, but I’m doubtful many football players graduate from it.

Me too, and went that route for two years. One day I took a look around the room and noticed the students who were left. It hit me; there was no way I was spending the rest of my working life around those goons. I gathered my shit and left in the middle of class.

Or what? Like, seriously, what in the fuck have you done to help? You’re not Burnt Ends and I doubt your TOF. So what value have you added that gives you this sense of entitlement? 

Every 5 star recruitment is a fucking knife fight and 5 star DLs also involve hand grenades and automatic weapons. If some idiot program shows up and blows everything out of the market, so be it. But yes, your ire is noted if the work being put it in is for naught because ATM wants to play 11 defensive linemen in their innovative 11-0-0 defensive front.

Any info on 1) why A&M is so hell bent on throwing the money at DL over seemingly all other positions and 2) how in the hell they win some of those recruitments without their depth chart working against them?

Let’s be clear: I expect McKinley to commit and sign with Texas. 

Now, to answer the question, all I can offer is the word from someone involved that has heard Fisher’s view. 

“National titles are won by the best defensive lines. Period. “

Apparently, if you sign all of the best DLs, no else can win the national title. Or some weird shit like that. 

That’s what happens when an empowered, simple idiot thinks he’s grasping math in ways that the rest of us cannot. 

BTW, Venables doesn’t have a worldview substantially different from the one above. I’m all for it.

Gerry said that driving distance was becoming more important and that helped a&m. It sounds like it is between Texas and a&m, which sounds like NIL to me.

I assume they're calculating the driving distance of the schools from the new job we're getting McKinley's mom in Austin.

I also have those things, even so far as a professional reputation, we should be friends!

[Hank Scorpio 17712]

Back on track, we’ve got 16 commits (hopefully 17 by Friday) with 4ish 5 stars we’re going after hard and a handful of other guys. Assuming we don’t get all the 5 stars, how big does this class end up? I have trouble getting to 25, but with no class limit and the portal do we take some fliers and load up?

We didn’t even know who Warren Roberson and Jelani McDonald were at this point last cycle. There will be new targets pop up. We shouldn’t have any problem taking 23-25.
