I talked to Bobby about this just this morning actually even before posting here. There's also a need to do more cross pollination and syndication when facing opponents (having luicci on is smart, but went underleveraged). 

The content they put out is of absurdly high quality and there are often 1-5 minute stints of absolute fucking greatness that have a shelf life of a few days to a week. All it takes is effort and clipping and production, but right now it's honestly a bunch of dudes grinding it out and "making it happen".

They should push into YT shorts, IG reels, TikTok. Also “clips” content which is basically highlights of their content for the day or week or whatever time frame they choose are big time. A lot of the larger content creators have those channels setup with their editors. They just name the channel OTF clips.

Also, Ben Hartsock is the dumbest of all hosts on XM. He’s genuinely a room temperature IQ idiot and he also never shuts up. 

Expand  

His take this morning about the timing of the transfer portal was about the dumbest I've ever heard.   Essentially saying this is what the athletes wanted and it's pro sports now so it comes with the territory and fuck the kids for putting coaches in this position.  Essentially the take I would expect from a Boomer Aggy.  Completely ignoring the point from Lashlee (that was a good take and replayed) and Dusty where they emphasized that if this is pro sports no pro sport would ever schedule free agency before the season is over.  I had to just fast forward through that segment it was so bad.

Part of me is baffled that you guys/ladies actually get on fb 

Then I remember you're all older and I guess fb is for older people? I dunno. I haven't been on there in years. Occasionally I'll get on IG, but that's where I draw the line. I don't care what anyone from HS is doing, I don't care what anyone from college is doing, I don't care what my family is doing. 

And fuuuuuuck Tik Tok.

Ian Boyd knows a lot more about football than me. I have liked reading his breakdowns in the past. But you don't need to be Kubrick to realize he shouldn't be on camera.

When he suggested we move Rojo to LB I knew we were dealing with someone who may know routea and concepts, but nothing about players.

I agree. Make very short single-topic clips. We all want to consume the media but might not want to watch a whole 20 minute video.

I agree CJs grown on me. I like the shows without Bobby TBH. It seems to flow a bit smoother in dialog. Bobby seems to cut people off and then there's a weird ad read. The best shows are  CJ, Gerry and Rod, especially when Gerry is drinking.

Expand  

Rod has grown on me, but you're correct that Bobby does cut people off and it's annoying as hell. Gerry will have a good comment coming up, and then Boom! Bobby has to get the last word in. 
 

However, I do prefer Bobby/Gerry/CJ  to any of the other shows. Occasionally I'll watch Longhorn Live Stream, but that's rare. They just seem to regurgitate the same stuff from C&F. But I'll watch anything with Gerry, and really my favorites are Gerry and CJ. They run smooth and they bounce off of each other really well. CJ has gotten much better in front of the camera (more confident); Gerry is Gerry, and he personally does all of the lifting for the show, imo.

Concur. Love watching/listening to Tony Hills. Dude is such a great Longhorn. Loved seeing Baline Irby the other day. Glad to see he's doing well. 
 

Had he not gotten hurt, he could have been one of the greats. Hearing him talk about the UT/USC game and all his friends rooting for SC, and him watching David Thomas and that's when he knew he wanted to visit was awesome. Glad that he's still loving and living in Austin.

Ok,cool. But that doesn't really have any bearing on the guy's point. Finebaum is a known name in college sports, and he doesn't do lots of appearances on other shows that aren't ESPN based at this point. The point is, Burton gets fucking names on his show. CDC anyone? You can think Finebaum is a literal walking penis, which he is, and still recognize that he's bigger than most guests you're going to get on a 995ers streamer.

I give Gerry credit for being bold enough to rightfully point out Ewers has been a disappointment this season. Whether by injury, regression, or most likely a mixture of both. He's been carried to 11 wins by the best defense in the country bailing him out in the 2nd half against Arkansas, against OU, 2nd half against Kentucky, and 2nd half against aggy. Michigan and CSU are the only productively complete games Ewers has played all year. That's a disgrace as a 3rd year starter. 

The hope for a title is that he gets his shit together for the playoffs, but that's a long shot. The realistic hope is he both produces and stops fucking up just enough for an elite defense to carry us to a title.

And Bobby keeps pointing out how it's Ewers who has carried this team to 12 wins each season. 
 

Wut?
 

Last I checked it was Murphy and Manning that won to get Ewers to 12 wins. Yes, the team has won 12 in the last two seasons, but Quinn himself has not.

Expand  

I think it says a lot he's missed 5 games (counting UTSA since he played all of 1 series) in these 2 seasons and his backups are 5-0. 

He's been in a Stetson Bennett situation where just about every other aspect of the team built around him is either elite or borderline elite. He hasn't had to put the team on his back and push them to a win except in the SEC title game where he turned it over twice in the red zone. Hopefully we won't need him to do that at any time going forward. If this team had a playmaker at QB like Colt, VY, or even Ehlinger I think they'd be the overwhelming favorite.

oh man ppl think Bobby interrupts Gerry too much.. Longhorn Blitz.. whenever they had Matt start talking he would raise his voice if someone would try to interrupt.. but would also be the one interrupting Rod or Jeff on the regular..

 

despite all that, it was a solid show that covered games, recruiting, team news and previews of the next game.

I felt shitty that the olds made FB so cluttered and dull (here's my new grandbaby! I ran my ninth 10k, The Geriacstravazana! Yummy pancakes. Here's an article I read that you should read.) that youth fled from the reminders of the general dullness that life has waiting for them.

I occasionally go on FB to spread my insufferable bloviations somewhere else to give you guys a break. It's disappointing that so few people write or share anything interesting. I don't care what you read that made you feel blessed to live in Tomball.

Yeah, I don't even bother checking on it anymore. I honestly can't remember the last time I looked. I don't care that you moved, or that your son graduated. Stop spamming my page with shit about how if you eat peanuts you'll live longer. Just dumb shit like that. Just a bunch of morons that I can't believe I used to hang out with.
