Maybe blight is a better way of viewing this. Are you fine living with a little blight in your crops or forest? Or do you want it removed, root and branch?

No, fuck. The "Evan Stewart catching the winning TD at Kyle Field" plotline that you dipshits keep parroting is utterly nauseating. If aggie misery is more important to you than Texas winning, whether in recruiting or as a program, then that is shit best kept to yourself. That's how aggies live. 

Most of us don't want to lose Wingo. Most of us paying attention have no interest Evan Stewart coming anywhere near the UT program. Let him be a bitchass diva somewhere far away. I'd like to see Texas get a chance to play him next year and knock him on his ass.

You're rationalizing. No one needs a silver lining.

Hoping that a WR from Arizona, who has bragged about how excited he is to be leading the building of that culture and program and has never discussed a transfer, would go in the portal and pick Texas, without any affiliation, is just pure fan fiction. USC offered the guy's agent mid-6 figures last year to transfer out. Whoever started talking him up as a transfer candidate should be fired from their $9.95 job for making the rest of us see this shit repeatedly pop up now. 

He’s a for example. It could be any of a bunch of guys and you’d be better in 24. My bet is Wingo isn’t a top 50 national receiver next year, so the bar to get better production next year isn’t super high. It’s obviously a big fucking problem in 25 and 26 and I hope like hell we get him, to be crystal fucking clear. I’m just not going to jump off the bridge if we don’t.

My point exactly, you don't chose to fight a turf war with the GOAT over a kid you can't/won't assign a position to and  who changes commitments like underwear.

holy fuck you're dumb.

Fuck that, Sark has been kicking Saban's ass out of Texas since he got here.  The progress he has made against Saban and Day has been great to watch.

My lack of genuine thoughts are superior to your brain dead stupid thoughts on this.

I wonder how that Saban mystique is going to shine after Sarkisian modholes him, again, this season down in Houston in 3 weeks...

What's funny is that does Hampton really believe Saban is going to be at Bama for another 4 years?

It's a digital billboard. So... the Texas media team.

At this point I'm convinced that the only way to get rid of Saban is to open up his crypt and drive a stake through his heart.

Fong update, which is good news for us

11:29 ET:

A source with knowledge of the recruitment let 247Sports they think five-star receiver Ryan Wingo will remain true to his commitment to Texas after talking to Missouri the night before. Wingo is the nation's No. 4 receiver and No. 12 prospect overall. He is one of the jewels of a Longhorns class ranked No. 5 nationally

They can easily change it to FAFO Hampton.

Hampton will Brockermeyer to TCU and become irrelevant.

Does Saban really believe Hampton will play more than 20 snaps for Alabama?

[HtownHorn 15231]

Hampton needs serious development at WR, Alabama has one of the worst WR coaches in college. This will work out great.

[Red Five 41787]

If today is status quo except ultimately trading Hampton for Tyanthony Smith, I'll take it.

If he conforms. If not no.

That was close. We almost took Wingo for granted. 

[closetojumping 65538]

I have to say, if Saban got so hung up on Hampton that he's pushing NIL in that direction at the last minute, I can find fulfillment in that. Texas will not be moving anything around for Hampton, you can bet that.

Bussey would be pretty sweet, but that feels like LSU. And probably more of a $ commitment than Hampton

Evan Stewart?  Sounds like a good trade

[ATXhorn17 1677]

Re-allocate Hampton's NIL dollars and go hard after Bussey for NSD2... In my mind, they're interchangable as ATH takes and have an equally high likelihood of busting... And you'd get the intrinsic satisfaction of another head-to-head win over A&M.

Dylan Raiola wrote Wingo a very sincere and heartfelt poem, so it made Wingo question our relationship with him. But Sark held up a boombox playing "In Your Eyes" outside of Ryan's window this morning and woke him up, reminding him of what we had.

It's all good now.

there was a lot of talking here about Kobe Black and his position, Bobby just said he was a "true corner" for what that's worth
