Rod Babers spitting the gospel troof about team buy- in/ culture on this week's Blitz

Longhorn Blitz: Culture talk and the big picture on defense

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/longhorn-blitz-culture-talk-and-the-big-picture-on-defense/id1279981104?i=1000557410447

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe are back to discuss the latest developments in Texas spring practice. From Steve Sarkisian's reaction to Moro Ojomo's recent comments to what the immediate future could hold for Pete Kwiatkowski as the Longhorns' defensive coordinator, it's a wall-to-wall gridiron discussion less than two weeks before the spring game.

It was roughly one week ago that Murphy really started getting up and running in spring practice. And most indications are pointing to a solid start for him getting full-on reps in spring camp in the last week or so.

There are times when we actually hear Murphy is looking so impressive that he could soon challenge for the backup job. While it seems like Murphy is a long way away at the moment from truly challenging rising junior quarterback Hudson Card for the backup job, that narrative could shift this fall.

If Murphy continues making strides the way he has in the last few days of spring practice, expect Sark and his staff to really consider getting him some backup reps by the time fall camp arrives. He’s showing a lot of the early signs necessary to push for that in the next few months.

Moreover, it sounds like Murphy is also becoming vocal enough to gain the attention needed to make his way up the two-deep depth chart in the quarterback room by this fall. A report from Horns247 on April 14 indicates that Murphy is often the most vocal of all the quarterbacks in the locker room this spring.


Considering the fact that the Longhorns have really needed a more vocal leader at the quarterback position since last offseason, this is promising news. Murphy generating positive energy in the locker room and helping his teammates become more vocal will have a great impact on this team moving forward.

All in all, I personally wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Murphy does end up challenging Card for the backup quarterback job this fall. In all likelihood, he’s got a brighter future in this quarterback room as it now feels like Card’s time has already passed.

I have no idea who this Andrew Miller guy is, but in a crowded competition it seems like he might be the dumbest fucker in the Longhorns $9.95 universe. Yes, even more regarded than Ketch.

Here is referring to this story where Jerry West is demanding a retraction over his portrayal from the Winning Time show on HBO.  I suppose he thinks he is funny or clever or whatever.

I don't understand how real stipends and benefits stops NIL from happening. Stipends and benefits were never going to come close to what NIL is going to provide to star players. They were never going to come close to market value.

There is no way to allow for NIL without it becoming a clusterfuck in any way that the NCAA has the authority to implement or enforce.

There's no truly tenable solution. The best one is to make professional leagues for sports similar to MLB's minor leagues, with colleges providing an education for athletes who want to go that route. But professional leagues won't be popular without the college fans rooting for their school. 

"If you believe in free markets, you should believe athletes who drive an insanely profitable endeavor deserve to share in those profits."

 

But it's not the athletes who drive an insanely profitable endeavor. It's the fans, with their money and their eyeballs. The people employed/involved in sports are the beneficiaries. 

The root problems are the explosive growth in revenue from college sports, with a fixed cost labor force that was getting paid the way all administratively implemented fixed costs completely out of bounds with true market value are paid - through the black market. The NCAA has done a lot throughout its history to tamp down the growth of college sports, especially from its founding to 1984 by limiting television exposure. Once that cat was out of the bag, and the NCAA lost complete control of television revenue for football, everything else has been pretty inevitable. 

You add the difficulty advertisers have of getting their message across huge audiences the way they were regularly in the day of 10 channels of television and limited ways to record programming. It creates a premium for programming that people would strongly prefer to watch live.

I'm not saying the NCAA are the good guys. I'm saying that proposing they had a lot of options to stay a viable organization is a false premise. 

What will happen sooner rather than later is that the biggest conferences are going to band together to put together some kind of rule set they can live with, with a lot more money going to college athletes across the board, a reduction in teams fielded and athletes brought on for scholarship, and at least some kind of overall guidance regarding NIL that makes the rules consistent across the board, knowing those rules are likely going to be broken with very little consequence involved in the vast majority of cases.

But blaming all this on the NCAA is silly.

There is a very important difference to relay leg finishes in track vs. swimming that both of these members of the AAS braintrust are not taking into account. That's a completely valid way to set a swimming record, and it happens all the time.

 

Just seeing this. These chucklefucks could have learned that just by watching the Olympics.
