I'd wager he was talking about his tuition, not any donations. 

If he paid over 100k in tution to the university of Texas, he's either out of state, or he's got a diploma on his wall from "The Uunivserity of Texxas" which he acquired though a few zoom classes and giving a nigerian prince access to his bank account.

Your posts always suggest one of two things:

#1 Oregon is on another level than everyone else when it comes to NIL $

#2 The key targets we are losing to Oregon are making decisions that aren't based on $

 

It's a big stew of cognitive dissonance.

 

There hasn't been a fucking moment in time, not one, in which I've argued here or elsewhere that Oregon didn't moneywhip Sharma. Going back to the original posts on NIL, when everyone everywhere was proclaiming that none of us knew anything and that it was all unpredictable, I have stated that Oregon can and likely will standalone in NIL recruiting. I've been a fucking wizard in looking into the future on NIL. There are receipts for all of this on this very forum. Feel free to go find them if you think I'm wrong or making shit up.

So with that all said, go take some classes on reading comprehension. I'm betting you can access some free ones online that might help both you and us, as you dealing with your idiocy on this board, coupled with your indignance within your ignorance, is very fucking tedious.

Yeah, I've gotten tired of arguing the point - We've been told that we matched Oregon and the recruits in question just preferred the atmosphere there - more white chicks and fewer city problems and better weather and a better weight room and flashier school colors.

 

On 7/17/2024 at 9:34 AM, Bevo said:

 

Yeah, I believe it to some extent but I don't accept it. People are aware of my position that Sharma was a "must have" recruit and I'm done arguing.

You are one dumb motherfucker and it's beyond tiresome. I am putting you on ignore and moving on, since it's exhausting and unentertaining watching you show up regularly and fire an onslaught of abject stupidity all over these threads.

Given the current NIL landscape, commitments like this don’t make any sense to me at all.

LSU has a hell of a class and all we hear is how they have no money.

What many of you guys seem to think is that only NIL matters, and when something goes some school's way, it's got to solely be about NIL. And then following that, whether the recruit is a target or not, somehow Texas NIL must really suck.

It’s medium. Tall doesn’t really fit the joke but would be the better choice. 

[closetojumping 61997]

One thing that amazes me with the know-nothings showing up here to shit talk NIL for Texas is that they have to be actively choosing to ignore that Texas has signed two top 5 recruiting classes in a row, and will be signing another one around that range this cycle. There's no way to logically address that reality and still claim that NIL isn't something working in Texas' favor. It takes effort to be that stupid yet entitled. 

That motherfucker needs to be crowdsourced. He's either completely deceitful or really, really stupid given the way he's been attempting to move goalposts in his arguments while fucking up this thread. He's worthless and I'm negging every post of his that pops up going forward.

I've got to say, this is the most terrifying thing I've seen on this board in awhile, for so many different reasons. And that is saying something considering there's a lot of hilarity in there:

Guys, I'm a project manager but won't get certified because fuck that noise
I tried a startup but almost got evicted becuase...
I guess I have no actual tangible skills. 


Lol, "all the skills of a project manager." Guys, I have all the skills of a Porn Star, I'm a human male and can absolutely get hard with hot, dirty women, but WAH for some reason no one will hire me!" He sounds like the the typical neckboard incel, let me tell you guys on the internet, I'm smart and jacked and my ex is super hawt. I'm not setting the over/under on his age at 26.

Hell, those classes may have been top 3 without the negative rankings bias towards Texas based upon past "coelenterate" fucktard coaches and their mediocre to terrible results.

All this blather is stupid as shit. It isn't that hard to stick to recruiting. If you want to ignore someone, just fucking do it and get on with your life. No one cares. And assuming your next post will be Pot meet kettle, fine, I'm good with that. There is no need to waste your breath. What would actually move things forward is a recruiting tidbit - we are all starved for news and eating our own.  @immamac and @blacklab should move all the NIL talk to the NIL thread and start giving people timeouts.

[immamac 41617]

NIL and recruiting are pretty strongly intertwined so IDK how the fuck that makes any sense. Getting dunked on for caring so much about recruiting and not participating in NIL is totally acceptable and honestly officially sanctioned, condoned and encouraged behavior from Surly's perspective.

I just can’t bring myself to donate to the NIL. UT is a public school and I live in Texas, I’m paying for it in someway already. And I gather that we already have the most robust and well-organized setup for it in college football anyway.

I’m talking about the scholarship & stipend aspect, which is a part of an athletes NIL deal. Of course I know the actual school doesn’t pay them cash.

If it was called Tejas Uno Fondo instead of Texas One Fund, you would have understood this shit and would be donating by now

It's not splitting hairs. It's just correct. You were lumping them together becuase you're lazy and ignorant, and it doesn't matter if they're one sales pitch or 500 different sales pitch, that has nothing to do with the fact that YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING NIL RELATED UNLESS YOU DONATE.

If you'd ever been to a nice steakhouse, you'd be the idiot ordering a lobster tail with your steak and then being outraged that they charged you for it. WHAT, IT'S ALL ON THE SAME MENU WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?

A 10 MW portable generator. I suspect there might be some grunting involved, even with the wheel kit. Not to mention the hernia inducing pull cord. Opt for electric start, lol.

Seriously though, even a 4500 to 5500 watt portable makes life so much easier and they sip fuel by comparison with the larger output units. And I'd argue, still worth the purchase as a backup should the standby unit go down.

I believe I finished tied for 9th or something in this site’s NCAA Tourney Challenge this year (out of 70+ entries). I was 8-4 picking winners in the Texas football state championships. I’m wrong no more often than anyone else, I’m just the only one that ever gets called out/remembered for it, Greenspoint too somewhat. People love their narratives even when their wrong.

Yes. You've got it all right. It's just the vast majority of other people that are completely wrong, statistics be damned.

It's not that you're more wrong than other people, although you are more wrong than other people. It's more of the WAY you're wrong. You're the obese, hirsuite euro trash in a fucking banana hammock of wrong. Your takes are just so bad, so painful, that it's impossible for them not to stand out and be painfully memorable. Sure, that other normal looking guy has on a fanny pack, but this is you:
