Texas and Oregon put the CFB world on tilt with their respective NIL efforts. Many alumni bases are reacting pragmatically and trying to build something competitive of their own that fits their specif

Color me surprised that people promising NIL as enticement have not followed through at all and those who have done everything by the book have set expectations that will be met.  It's almost lik

As disappointing as losing Mathis would/will be, I gotta say - $600k seems like a lot for a 1-2 year rental who has had one good year and one average one. That number surprises me but maybe that’s market now days, idk 

It's the market when your team is fucking awful and the likely 4-8 season means you are firing your football coaching staff.

You guys are all missing the real silver lining of this entire Mathis debacle. CTJ is now referring to our esteemed head coach as Steve Sarklostagain instead of the notably inferior Steve Sarklossian.

Indeed, no, sir. I've just added Sarklostagain to the repertoire, so hat tip. Steve Sarklossian will outlast his namesake's tenure at Texas on this board.

sarklostagain is such a good nickname that i'm having trouble remembering what his actual last name is.

That's the thing about these NIL bidding wars. You're basically up against every other program in the country, since it only takes one program to decide that they really, really have to have the player and thus drop a silly amount. We have deep pockets, but I assume not deep enough to outbid every program for every player.

Edge. Dorbah, Abiara and Thomas are just roster space for a position that is already thin as hell.

How can you know Abiara wasn’t going to be a good player?  If you are a “developmental staff” then at some point you have to develop somebody.

Abiara was a project who was in legal trouble in high school, basically got processed by Notre Dame and then was a part of our late scramble to put together the 2021 recruiting class that was full of holes. It's then mentioned multiple times last fall by 9.95ers that he was having some maturity issues. The writing was on the wall very early.

I think you're misunderstanding the term "developmental" as it pertains to this staff.

When you see people saying they're a developmental staff, what they mean is that this staff is trying to "develop" a fucking clue and they're not even close to being there yet. I hate to be the bearer of bad news since it sounds like you might have just woken up from a multi-year coma, but this staff went 5-7 last year, gave up 57 points at home in a loss to Kansas, and has had a hard time being able to identify their assholes from a hole in the ground. So they're super developmental right now.

He didn't exactly have world beaters ahead of him and I'm not even sure he played in the spring game.

let's see how the 9.95ers sell what is clearly a huge miss.

Why pay $9.95 when the resident sunshine-pumpers will do it for free? There have been and always will be excuses for every miss, that's never changed across all the failed coaches we've had.
