Speaking Elon Musk and NIL ... I know him pretty well. Generally, I like him. With that said, I want him nowhere near UT sports. Elon is not interested in sports. They are a waste of time in his view. Pabulum for the masses. And he would not be doing this for the love of the game or the university. But rather, it would be transactional. So what would UT have to give up? It wouldn't be pretty. 

So we have established we have a man on the inside, and a roadmap to terms. Now it is down to negotiating. 

The DOGE school of business has a nice ring to it, plus Mrs. Simkinsman...

I dont care if we get money from the Girondists or the Jacobins, i just want a fucking interior offensive line that can get us a yard when we need it.   Jesus you political people suck.

Those of us with degrees from this university, who aren't complete fucking morons, care more about preserving the university's integrity as much as possible over an offensive line. Especially in this case when both of those things aren't mutually exclusive.

This thread right now has clowns implying that the richest man in the world is their intellectual inferior, overt political whining, and an outbreak of rehashing shit that happened, and that we had to live with, from the years 2010-2021. We're at the point that multiple postings of guys we don't want to lose heading to the portal would improve the spirit of this thread. We are a special form of collective stupid. 

 

So...is the McRib back or what?

Considering he’s close with Vivek, my guess is he finds no value in sports 

Let him fund our E-sports teams. Sounds like he's quite the Diablo IV player -- or so I've heard.

What do we think about the two PSU WRs in the portal, Omari Evans and Harrison Wallace? Yeah I know they struggled vs ND but decent overall production in the Big 10 on an iffy passing offense. 

Arch >>>> Allar

Tried it for the first time this holiday season. My teenage daughter and I both thought it was disgusting but delicious. My wife yelled at us like she was @Newy25.

Saban being paged at the Austin Airport 

When I read Charlie Strong’s deposition in the Wickline buyout case.  And I realized he’s half a tard.  I knew we were turbo fucked.  I’ve taken hundreds of depositions.  I’ve read hundreds.  I’ve never been exposed to a witness before that stupid.

So Frank is a lawyer. Never knew that. 

I've given three depositions as a witness in my life. The last time I did one, the opposing lawyer called me a motherfucker and a liar (I wasn't lying) after losing his shit during the session. Apparently you're not supposed to do those things and he got in trouble. I found it quite entertaining.

So I've lost 130 pounds after my bariatic surgery. You've seen the before and after. It's striking and I'm very very healthy now. My two biggest regrets in life are not ever having done the 72 OZ steak challenge in Amarillo or wherever that is, and never being able to eat a McRib the way god made it with the bun again as bread makes me want to puke.

Helluva time to be alive if these are someone’s “biggest regrets”

I have an engineering degree from UT, saw the effect former students turned successful tech CEO’s like Michael Dell had on those departments and infrastructure, and wonder what an innovator like Musk could offer UT myself, but that’s just me.  But more than that, I’ve wondered what the injection of billionaires into the Austin market in recent years might mean for the city of Austin’s (or perhaps more accommodating surrounding jurisdictions) eventual ability to attract major professional sports franchises

Fuck all that, over the past few months, my moral compass has all but vanished.  An watching my former bellwether, Obama, yucking it up with Trump at Carter's funeral officially broke me.

I'm ready for Thunder Dome.  Just win baby!

Exactly. A "mobile" QB is basically table stakes in football nowadays. They don't need to be Vince Young, Tebow, Jackson, etc. However, they need to be able to evade pressure, move the pocket, and at least present the threat to run.

I'm not a "Ewers hater," but his upside is limited due to his lack of mobility and inconsistent pocket presence. He could only dream of doing this (timestamped) instead of falling down to protect himself:

 

Man, fuck you for opening this wound. Such a frustrating game to watch, in no small part because Penix and crew were just downright incredible that night. They missed/dropped several plays against Michigan they were making on us.

Sounds like we have a better shot in 2026 than 2025 given the big step down in talent next year.

This is kinda what I've been thinking. Reload in 2025 with some young, promising guys. Maybe get 9 wins and flirt with a playoff spot. In 2026, those young promising guys take the next step for a run (and a presumably tougher schedule).

Jesus Christ, this is as reactionary as it comes. This will be a very talented team that should absolutely make the Playoff.

I've been of the opinion that 2026 is probably the year. We're breaking in a lot of young talent at the most important positions next year. Essentially the whole offense including QB, C, and both OT spots; interior DL, now it seems like CB. Texas is talented enough and the schedule sets up in a way they we should be looking at a ~10 win regular season, contention for the SEC championship game, a playoff berth, and being fun to watch for sure; but the chance of drawing a head scratcher on a given Saturday is always higher dealing with that volume of change and inexperience.

But 2026 we're talking Arch Manning and Ryan Wingo at the height of their powers and a year of experience for the rest of the WR/TEs, veteran OL, veteran secondary, bunch of talented Year 2-3 DTs, veteran LBs despite the probable loss of Anthony Hill (God, imagine if he came back) all led by a third year Collin Simmons... with another probable top 5 class coming in. There's a world where the 1.1 and 1.2 picks in the 2027 NFL draft play for the same college team. Long way out but we could seriously be monstrous. So I don't think these are mutually exclusive ideas.

It's not nothing, though. That's two 5 star recruits who were starters on an outstanding defense. Sucks to lose them, if indeed they both go. 

I expect there to be more pain than just MM (and perhaps DW), personally. 

Yeah. Breaking in one new corner against Ohio State was already a challenge. Breaking in two new corners and being thin-ish at Safety against Ohio State is... probably not going to be fun. It hurts no doubt but fortunately it should never be worse than it is that first game.

Relax, Boss. The post was not aimed at you or your posting history.

There are a bazillion BSD posts around here. Your post indicates we are not The BSD everyone thought we were. 

Well, this is the rub isn't it? People get this image in their head because Texas fans have this weird fetish about being the biggest, richest, etc. In reality Texas is a program at the top tier of NIL - or at worst tier 1B if the idea is Oregon, Michigan, and Ohio State are just out here truly out of their minds. "The" vs. "a" has a profound difference in meaning.

I'm no insider but it's not hard to grasp that we're at the top of the SEC in NIL and still have all of the natural football recruiting advantages that come with being the flagship university in the state of Texas. We'll be alright. Anyone thinking we could simply buy unquestioned dominance or having some difficult moment of reckoning realizing we can't, that's on you.

I think the contenders in 2025 should be even weaker than those in 2024 (which was a relatively weak year), and Texas should be in the mix even if it feels like the team might potentially take a step back

1- we will be better if Arch is better, and I think he will be

2- you rightly point out everyone else will be worse. 

Right now one site has us as the betting favorites to win the national title and another site has us as #3. I expect, when it all shakes out we will enter the season in August as no worse than 2 to win it all but I would guess 1.  We will have the most talented roster going into the 2025 season in CFB, the same way Ohio State held that going into 2024, and the schedule sets up that we should view anything worse than 10-2 as an incredible disappointment.  Could we lose at Ohio State or Georgia?  Sure. But we will have the better roster both places. Any other loss on that schedule (OU sucks- Florida is the next best team and they are full of meh- arky and aggy suck, Kentucky and MSST- gimme a fucking break- we ain't losing those games- ditto Vandy) will be highly disappointing.  10-2 Texas playing in the SEC title game with Arch Manning at QB is definitely a playoff team, and by the end of the year we ain't young anywhere anymore.  Terrible injury luck obviously changes the calculus.

Taking depositions was more fun under the old rules.

I get it but damn, they have to replace guys and play us also. And we’ll probably have the better qb as of now. Fuck the couch burner tree nuts
