Well, they've got literally 7 days to contribute if they want to make a difference in recruiting this season. 

I think that’s why I’m frustrated. It’s beyond simple for people to contribute in a big way.

We're all going to blame you directly for failing to be more persuasive. 

I’m gonna blame my four year old son for not inspiring the pure innocence of college football fandom in me and others.

True but instead most complain and bitch and aren’t really involved in online forums. It is actually frustrating.

Football fandom and innocence is over. It’s a business. It’s money. It’s mercenaries. It’s about screwing the fan for as much money as possible. The coaches and players couldn’t care less about wins and losses and the schools, except to the extent it impacts a payday. Merry Christmas!

Said I was done last year and I renewed. My kids declined invitations after the okie lite game. We've avoided human shit, aggressive & naked bums walking over through west campus the last 2 years. I might stick to mbb/wbb/softball/baseball moving fwd.

I don't blame anyone for being turned off either by the product on the field or the new atmosphere for college athletics.

I get that.

I do think Xavier Worthy played his guts out for us this year and if you want to reward an actual hard-working bright spot you can donate to his award in the NIL forum.

 

Hook'em.

Naw. If you want to win, they want to win. Some folks just aren't good at it and when you get a bunch of them together, you suck.

It looks like Surly is well short of its goal of $5000 which seems very small compared to his incredible effort this year.

I know this forum can rise to the occasion and get there!!

I’d push back on players and coaches. To get to the highest level you almost have to have some sort of inherent competitiveness unless you’re just freakishly gifted. And for coaches, just as few years as a P5 HC and you are set for life. Yeah, it’s more transactional than it used to be, but there’s a reason winning begets good recruiting. And guys don’t coach into their 60s and 70s because they need the money.

What if my tradition is to walk a few miles to the game...

Do some laps, motherfucker. Walking a few steps past crazy homeless people is just part of being in a big city. Don't make eye contact and don't respond when they ask for something and they won't act like seagulls to a bag of chips. 

Parts of Austin are gross from homeless now, but campus is gorgeous as ever. Don't be a bitch.

I guess Stoops and Riley were both hired without any HC experience but they were both much younger/up and coming guys at the time. It does seem pretty meh for them.

Fixed to include treefiddy and burnt ends peeps. 

I kept it to just the board contributors for now because we hadn't confirmed with X yet, we have confirmed that he'll accept it but waiting on timing. When we get more info on timing I'll open it up to the poors and lurkers. 

If you don't want to wait and you trust surlyhorns use the donate button and donate to the slush fund.

I updated the donation tracker to include the store slush fund on the goal bar. 

I'll update that nightly to have the accurate representation of how much we've raised so far.
