Damn, app state knows how to seal the deal. Skittles+starburst+cookie cake = lock

Nobody is topping Charlie's football cake though.

We really do need a LB, I was amazed we didn't go after that Clemson LB that portaled early and passed on the UNLV kid. I am sure there will be more in the coming weeks, but it would make me feel much better having another guy in that room for the spring.  

Just like we didn’t pass on brown, some of these guys just aren’t interested in coming to texas for whatever reason. We’ll find one or two who are.

I feel like there was a better way of saying the dude has a couple kids that sounds a lot less creepy.

No shit. It sounds like the guy hangs around the mall arcade with one pocket full of quarters and the other full of rufies.

To these points, the player is like 21 or 22 years old and it is the year 2022. No one gives a shit, just say he's got some kids he wants to stay close to in Michigan. Whoever wrote that probably wears a monocle while typing.

The portal combined with NIL is pouring gasoline onto an NCAA house already on fire. I don't think anyone knows where college football is headed, and we probably won't know for a few years.

I’ve thought this very thing. I’d like something like an NIL freshman salary cap combined with the NCAA actually enforcing under-the-table violations (yeah, right…lol). Most programs can’t afford to bid ridiculous amounts for blue chip recruits while simultaneously satisfying the 3 stars who end up playing like blue chips. Those guys will just hit the portal as juniors to get what they could have gotten as freshmen.

It bugs me to see unproven hs kids making more than proven college players, just like it bugged me to see high NFL draft picks getting more than productive veterans who were stuck in their first contract. Injuries kept lots of those guys from ever seeing a big second contract.

As an Old, I will miss a small school being able to compete every now and then with the bigger schools.

Hell, personally, I still miss the SWC.  Glad to get Arky back btw.

I just don't see things going backwards and players do deserve to be compensated.

It's also going to be impossible to regulate everything to be fair to every kid.

Given that, it seems like a roughly free market should do the best job at allocating the $$$ over time.  Sure it will miss on some and over compensate others, but what scheme would legitimately do better??

I can identify that as the Marriott Courtyard in Boone.

I'd need better pix of the cookie to identify which of the three stoner cookies delivered until 3am shops it is from. But with it being decorated it is most likely from a grocery store instead.

The institutions are not paying the players and it is boosters that are paying through LLCs. I understand trade unions in the past have kept folks out of industries unless they are part of the union. Yet, I do not see how a union would work here to enforce any caps. So those with more knowledge of unions, how would it work or can it work?

I personally think let the market rule with some agreed upon "Portal Period" so that institutions can plan but I would be interested to find out how someone can envision a union working.

I understand what you’re saying, and I don’t literally mean that schools are paying and can therefore be restricted. I don’t know how this could be worked out. I just think it will be a mess until someone does think of something.

Exactly.   Also, a  LB who obviously doesn't shoot blanks??   We can only image....

That room is fucking terrifying.  The red tub probably hides the blood from extracting a kidney or two.

We were getting our Boone house on the market and the wife needed WiFi and pet friendly so she could remote work while I cleared the house to put it on the market.  I checked in and didn't say anything to see how she reacted.  Needless to say there was no angle to Zoom call from that didn't show that.  At the desk changing rooms, 20 year old female clerk, 'So, not that kind of stay, huh?'

Drumm on Casey Thompson

*** Spoke with Casey Thompson yesterday and today. Yesterday, he was on a "self-guided" tour -- with it being a dead period and coaches out of town -- he wanted to see Nebraska in person cause he had never seen it before. Said he really liked what he could see. Obviously, didn't get to see the insides of the facilities or anything with no one around and the dead period, but was still impressed with how close all of the facilities laid out in Lincoln.

He didn't talk with Nebraska in the last 24-hours or OU but said they would talk with both today and that OU has "been real. They told me Dillon [Gabriel] knows the system, so he would have a leg up. Still, that we would do 50/50 reps and the best man would win if I chose Oklahoma. I really like OU and they seem to want to take me if I decide that."

I think Nebraska is the leader and have said that for a few weeks now. I think he will do a few closing Zoom's with his final programs and then decide. CT is in a win-win situation with his choices, so either one is good for him.

He also said a decision will happen "soon."

So, now we wait.

 

I mean, picturing him walking around a cold ass campus and looking in the windows of locked buildings is fucking sad.

I mentioned the Billingsley thing up thread but a few other things as well:

-Belmont thinks the Sanders smoke bomb from Bama to Austin is done. 

-You may well read about stories anew regarding JoJo Earle, JSN, and Addison. You should be from Missouri on all three of them. 

-It sounds like there's a scary amount of confidence regarding Neyor. 

I guess I wish I had more faith in this staff to buy into their apparent certitude.

I guess that's why IT actually named him. That'd be a great get at imo our biggest position of need.

Actually makes some sense for him too - he's behind Dallas Turner (Fr) and Will Anderson (So) on the depth chart so likely won't be starting next year either at Bama.

Lol Drew Sanders would instantly become the best player on our Defense. Bama folks are salty that he hasn’t been able to play much this year, he’s a beast, he’s super versatile, and he’s a legit pass rusher. 

 

He played a ton early in the year, with mixed results. I thought his playing time dropped due to nursing an injury? Or, Did he straight lose his spot? I could see him losing time for poor tackling.

Agree that if we could get Drew Sanders, that'd be huge. 

Then we just need someone to step up with a big NIL deal for Billy Bowman's softball playing girlfriend.  I'd like to see what he could do at WR here, given that was supposedly part of the allure (along with the girlfriend) to going with OU.   I saw those 2 and Ja'Tavion play together for Denton Ryan in a game against a friend's kid.  They demolished them like 80 to negative 12.  It was insane.
