Sounds like we’re starting the excuse off early this year. “Sark has a bad roster it’s not coaching”, “this doesn’t happen overnight guys”.

Arkansas is a good example, year one was brutal and he inherited a worse roster than Texas, and in year two made a jump because of player buy in and good development of players and good coaching. It can happen and it doesn’t take 4 years of slow ass barely any improvement. We had a full off season to address areas of concern and as of now he’s gone the let’s recruit true freshman on the OL and not maybe a balanced approach with at least 2 transfers. Maybe he still will but doesn’t seem like it.

Fuck yes better than the same “this won’t get better overnight”. I’d love to see a team driven to beat bama and meeting up at 7am to get better. Worked for Arkansas who kicked our fucking ass up and down the field becaise they hate us while we continue to not give a fuck about playing certain teams.

There are like three schools in the nation where a kid won't say something like that: Bama; Georgia; Aggy. Bama and Ga because they're already there. Aggy because they think they're there.

This is stupid.

I can't honestly believe you are worked up about this.

I could give a rats ass what is said in any interview, press release, article, podcast, YouTube video. If you truly want things to change, you should care a lot more about what is shown on the field than what is said in some fucking player's tribune article.

Worked up? Who’s worked up? It’s par for the course with our university. Set the bar low and keep the “we’re getting there but slowly” narrative.

If you are tampering, you aren't playing by the rules. 

Except "tampering" is defined by the NCAA as contact between coach/institution/booster(?) and player signed or enrolled elsewhere. All you need is a single degree of separation in the form of NIL sponsor, HS coach, uncle, etc. and you are 100% not in violation. It's a stupid distinction without a difference, but as mentioned upthread, the rules suck right now.

But if it's through an uncle or whoever, isn't it still contact?

You’ve got me figured out, dude. I can only imagine your success if you’re this good at everything.

I went ahead and just started negging every one of your posts I saw on the last few pages due to the rampant ignorance and cuntiness you've put on display. Frankly, there are a bunch of you fuckwits pushing your drama and whines in the wrong direction. 

Anything aimed at the fucking NIL folks around is flatly idiotic. Same for the big money people helping securing transfers and future transfers. 

Feel free to blame the coaching staff for being lost on defense and not having a portal plan. That's legit. 

Anyone handwringing over the future state of the sport or UT football as it pertains to being winners in the NIL arena is both blind and handwringing. Anyone thinking Lincoln Riley has some sort of endless bucket of money and no competition is being naive. 

The last 5+ pages on this thread are a humorless beating of banality and embarrassment.

Let him go drop passes and block. He would have thrived at Nebraska when they ran the option.

Go read this article and then go read the NCAA bylaws, and then come back and tell us what the definition of tampering is. 

I'll give you a head start:

"It's against NCAA rules for coaches to reach out to a third party to express interest in a player not yet in the portal."

He’s just saying he’s seen a successful OSU program up close and our shit show, while headed in the right direction, has a ways to go.   He’s stating the obvious.  If he was scared he would have never come to this dumpster fire so I for one am damn happy he’s here.  Lucky to have him on the team.

Pretty much everyone on here assumed that Washington was processed - but IT at least has made it seem that this was Washington's decision.

Question for those semi in the know: was Addison a backup plan for Worthy or were they about to money whip both?

What’s funny is I wouldn’t be surprised if we got in the mix. I do think there would be interest from our BMDs to not just get a biletnikoff winner but to pants LR at the same time. 

[Reese Bennett 3617]

So one way of looking at this is we let Washington go because of Hall and we might have Hall land somewhere else if Addison comes here. Now, what about a fucking linebacker or DE?

Am I doing this right?

I'm willing to bet Addison takes some visits just to counter some of the tampering allegations. We would be a logical one because of Marion. But let's be real, it's USC in the end.

I mean… if we match or beat the USC offer, he gets to play in a Sarkisian offense with Quinn Ewers throwing to him, Xavier Worthy on the other side, Bijan Robinson in the backfield. I’m not sure we’re really lacking for anything vs. USC here except maybe California women/weed/weather.

I’m gonna look into this one because I don’t see why. If we get him on campus and have motivated $$$ available I think Marion gives us a good chance.

We wouldn’t pony up $600k for Mathis, by all accounts the biggest position of need. Why the hell would we pay Addison $3M or whatever is being reported for a position of well, greed?
Other than the ‘eff LR’ vibe.

Because Addison plays offense, not defense. Haven’t you been paying attention

A feckless NCAA doesn't mean we need to act like Sooners or Aggy or whomever else is in the pantheon of cheaters. If the system is broken, I'd rather we work to be part of the solution and fix the system than to wallow in the mud.

there is a school of thought that the way to fix the system is for us to go scorched earth and win like motherfuckers.
