I do like that we are having recruits in for a visit at the end of July. But we have to have a closer on the staff, not sure who that is at the moment.

All seasons makes good protein feeders. Buy a smoker from a company that's known for making good smokers. 

Fair, but Lamborghini made good tractors. I've heard the quality is good, just needed to know if anyone had experience with that specific smoker.

Smoker talk sounds infinitely better than media market talk or whatever the fuck this is

Gotta move to Austin for the BBQ market.

[golfclap 6903]

If you are arguing against the Southern California media market you are wrong and should stop. 

Los Angeles ingests things differently - it's not just sheer numbers or "passion for the sport" or  TV ratings nonsense. Since the 40s, celebrities (even C and D-listers) have been paid to be at certain places or to wear certain things. Paid simply to do shit they were already going to do. This isn't a new or burgeoning thing in LA. Every single tiktok/yt/ig star gets their ass to LA as soon as possible so that they can monetize their trip get a matcha latte in the morning. No one gives a fuck where in Opelousas Addison Rae goes for lunch but in LA? That shit is a paycheck. You think it was an accident that Charli D'Amelio moved to LA from fucking Connecticut? 

That media market is a different animal from ATX and even if you looped in the other Texas markets - it's still different.  When USC is good the Trojans players are as big as any current TV star around town. 

You can point out Alabama, OU, or Clemson and say that guys just want to win and don't care about the media market and you'd be right - esp for the average college football player - but if you are already a brand (a la Evan Stewart) 4 years at USC will be worth FAR more dollars (esp long term) than 4 years at Alabama. Texas is in a niche below USC but FAR above the rest. 

Del Conte, Harris and his staff, and Sarkisian and his staff have all been abject failures to this point with NIL. Made worse by the fact that they had a 2 year head start on everyone and still stumblefucked out of the gate. It's not a good sign for them long term, imo.

How does the LA market compare to say Stanford vs Texas in terms of academic prestige

Designed an UNDER offset reverse flow. Not sure how it'd work but I designed it and may hit the wife's cousin up for some welding help.

Do you mind expanding on what you perceive as a failure here?  IMO, too early to tell.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with clapper here, but every member of the Texas football program, from the athletic director down to the graduate assistants, aren't doing their job right. Just leave it there and walk away.

The biggest problem in my opinion is the inability to message. The entire staff has proven incapable of messaging any inherent advantages that Texas has, and there are MANY. If it was simply the lack of detail, a lack of preparedness, a dearth of exciting ideas - those are failures that can be overcome simply by enabling the inherent advantages that UT possesses, while the systemic inability to message to recruits and their families at every level isn't.

Texas' biggest issue was having a shitty coach. USC's biggest issue is indifference. A good Texas team in playoff contention will have more eyeballs than a good USC team in playoff contention. 

FIFY. We lose one regular season game (at most) last season if Herman wasn’t such an egomaniacal imbecile.

And how exactly do you know that any of what you typed is true? Have you sat through any of the Texas NIL presentations? Have you spoken to recruits that have been a part of Texas's offer and can compare to anybody else's? 

Or did you see a Miami booster tweet and a couple croots commit to Oregon and use that to extrapolate doomsday scenarios for which CDC and Stan Drayton are personally responsible?

I just went and looked at what was occurring in the '21 thread on this day last year. We were:

• Shitting on the admin's response to the eyes
• Entertaining Carl's info of a defensive silent
• Coming to terms with passing on Ezra 
• Thinking we would land Dekel Crowdus and JJ Henry
• GC shits on Drayton
• Exploring the geeography of the midwest in an effort to explain why we were spurned by Rondale Moore

So, yeah. This is all pretty much par for the course.

No photos because it was 2003 but our HS RB went to Aggy. He wasn’t raised with much but that summer he was constantly carrying a few thousand and driving a new maroon Tahoe.

[CashMcCoy 3199]

Obviously wouldn’t doubt that some Tuscaloosa dealership is giving those Bama players cars, but plenty of our guys drive something similar. Can save a lot of money for a car like that when your education, rent, and most meals are paid for.

A cap will be needed when the athletes start realizing that NIL, coupled with portal, is basically like a free agency market with multiyear contracts to bind you to a school for any length of time.

This guy I guess? 

Funny enough, I graduated with Keondra Smith who went to aggy as a rb the next year. He also got a new car senior year, the rumor at school was that it was paid for by Nebraska boosters who he lead on for a while before commiting to a&m. No idea if it was true or not. 

If there is any truth to either it's pretty wild that low 3 star rbs would be getting cars purchased for them, even back then.

I barely remember Derrick. I wasn't around to know anything about a new car or not. I actually thought he was talking about Michael Goodson at first but the years don't match up.

Goodson was a few years younger. Derrick didn’t make it long. He was kicked out of Aggy for having pit bulls in the dorms.

If Lebong went to Spring, shouldn’t it be Le-boing? Apologies, we all need a bong hit after that one.
