Gerry made a comment on OTF that made it seem like his mom may not have been completely on board with the Oregon decision.

I believe his mom was the one who is planning on moving to DFW after he graduates so that would make some sense.

Not everyone loves Eugene.  I mean I do, but if it were up to me I'd institute a purge up there in Oregon to fix that state.  California can kick rocks, but I'm down to save Oregon.  It is truly a beautiful state that I love very much.

Look, I'm not the biggest Eugene booster by any stretch, but that campus is far from an eyesore.  It doesn't have to be Seattle, Austin, Chapel Hill, Charlottesville or Westwood to be nice.

Someone find Bob Reebok or Billy Adidas and give them an honorary diploma and go fuck up Phil Knight.

Gerry with some interesting tidbits on Sharma.

Told Texas the night before his announcement he was picking Texas, changed his mind in the morning.

Mom is on the visit with him today and thinks her son made a decision too quickly.

This one might not be over.

Ketch is parroting the same shit on twitter. Basically saying Texas was and is still confident, and they feel like his decision isn't final and will be made final later. We will see I guess.

To be clear, Gerry has not heard from the family that the recruit made a commitment too quickly. When I read what he wrote earlier, I read it as Gerry speak that different gurus were spouting off about that but he’d talked to the mom and she didn’t say anything like that to him. I could be wrong, but my batting average interpreting Gerry’s comments is pretty high. 

The bigger thing the Sharma visit indicates is that Texas came back to the table on the NIL side. Not certain of that, but it fits the puzzle nicely.

It's fucking nuts/cool to think of 15/16 year old kids eyeing 6 digit digit pay-days at 17/18 if they bust their asses and stay out of trouble.

A while back Bobby had mentioned he had given commit quotes to media outlets in favor of Texas before switching the day of his commitment

Women's gymnastics and equestrian are current competitive sports in the SEC. I don't think water polo, field hockey, or lacrosse are currently played in the SEC.

I’d assume it would be sports that don’t require large facilities. Maybe the new volleyball venue that has been talked about could double as a gymnastics facility? I’m not sure on sizes of gymnastics gyms.

If their services are hard to come by, then it makes sense for them to be worth so much to these schools who benefit a great deal from having them.

NCAA field hockey field is 100 yards by 60 yards.

NCAA lacrosse field is 110 yards by 60 yards.

Seems like both can be played at the soccer stadium (Myers Stadium). Done deal.

I meant "whom" will they play not a physical location, sorry my bad. I was referring to "where," what conference. The fact that the SEC does not sponsor lacrosse, field hockey, or water polo, would necessitate  Texas go out of conference for competition to add those women sports.

They’ve done so already for other sports that sec doesn’t offer. I don’t think it matters what conference they go to for the sport so long as they meet the title IX requirements.

Wasn’t it mentioned back in June that Charles and Sharma are close and talked a good bit about playing together? 

[HateYouAndMyself 828]

Sharma heard that Texas is forming a women's beach volleyball team to meet the new scholarship balance and it sealed the deal.

Glad sharma is back, but if oregon dropped life changing money on him, I don't really expect anything to come of it. I guess it doesn't hurt to keep showing that we want him though. Maybe phil knight will croak and checks will start bouncing.

Good call

[Lonestar88 4582]

Thank God. The whole “we have no shot if Oregon pursues” bit sucked.

Flipping a kid from Nike U is just about the best thing that could happen for this board.

Isn’t that how it is for Euro soccer prodigies? And MlB bonus babies?

I had a nice roast duck breast with a plum compote at a Ffrench restaurant in The Bahamas last night. I thought, as I ate it, “fuck those sorry motherfuckers”. I feel like I willed this into existence.

Holy fucking shit. Sark decided enough was enough with those feathery, hippy bitches in Eugene it looks like.

Need follow up from those crying about NIL the past month. Or not, they could never show up again that would be fine too.

I knew those steak fingers from DQ that I had today would pay off
