  1. Color me surprised that people promising NIL as enticement have not followed through at all and those who have done everything by the book have set expectations that will be met. It's almost like the people in charge of Texas NIL may have had a plan. It's almost like, that plan was tested at a smaller scale before turning it into a death star.
  2. Texas and Oregon put the CFB world on tilt with their respective NIL efforts. Many alumni bases are reacting pragmatically and trying to build something competitive of their own that fits their specific goals and means. Some bases will be able to compete across all sports in an arms race with Oregon and Texas. Ohio State and Michigan. Notre Dame and Penn State. Maybe Georgia. They’ll have to want to do it, of course. There are others like Bama and LSU who will figure out how to be competitive at the top of the elite recruit list every year, but their bases have already blanched at what it is going to take to do it. The price of poker went up. Bag money is dwarfed already. Then you have Oklahoma, USC, and Tennessee. Kansas too, bizarrely, and I’m sure we’ll hear about more, but all of these groups basically just decided to tout made up shit or vapor prospective nonsense. I guess they figure they’ll just figure it out on the fly or are equating some of it to the black market where they’ll say one thing and do another with players and get away with it. It doesn’t work that way when players, parents, handlers and agents can talk openly to whoever the fuck they feel like. So yeah, Addison hadn’t seen a dime as of a few days ago. Barry Switzer just making shit up on behalf of OU might stall some momentum away from them for a bit, but the recruit-side wises up quickly and they’re going to start asking for proof and asking on-campus players for truth. ATM is in a whole different situation. They went full big black bag, tried to mock NIL to recruits as fake shit and got away with that for a spell, and expected to establish themselves as a player in the under the table game for the foreseeable future. In one of the more ironic twists even for the aggies, it appears as though their zeal for coming over the top of accepted norms in the stealth game has caused two major reverberations against them - 1) they accelerated everyone else’s interest in NIL as a means of countering their bag behavior and 2) they have become everyone’s favorite whipping boy in negative recruiting. Fisher and the AD attempting to “I am not a crook!” all of it and pointing fingers elsewhere and making threats hasn’t helped their cause. In the most on-brand aggie maneuver of all time, ATM pulled the NIL bookshelf on top of themselves just as they thought they were getting going.
  3. Cat Osterman filmed you fucking ztejas?
  4. Rini is now playing ball with Abby I'm sure. She kicked cancer's ass twice, but the third time it just wasn't to be. We had 12 years, two months and a day together.
  5. I'm in Colorado for the month. Today we were at the Golden farmer's market and as these two fat women came walking up, I commented to my daughter (who lives in Golden) that until then, I hadn't seen a really fat person since we got here. She said, "Yeah, everyone who lives here has some form of exercise as their main hobby." About 20 seconds later, another fat lady came waddling by, wearing a Texas A&M t-shirt.
  6. As the father of a D1 football player I can tell you it’s 100% true that parents read these boards and it influences our decisions. CTJ made me cry one time and I made Laramie cancel his official visit to UT. But it all worked out in the end, now my son is the starting kicker and CTJ is my best friend.

    Y'all, I know that your lawns and such are important to you, but please conserve water, wherever you live. At my place of employment our water production department is running full capacity, 24/7. If one piece of their equipment fails, the city will have to impose water restrictions, which our council views as the worst possible thing that can happen ever. Like a Russian cruise missile strike catastrophe. Have a heart and help out your water department, please.
  8. Not that I'm surprised by the journalistic quality of BroBible, but they just turned a one-sentence statement from Hamilton into an unnecessarily long and repetitive article, and it was worse than most 995ers. Again, I don't expect much out of BroBible. However, they could've cut that article at least in half. Instead, they drag it along by rephrasing the same lines with different words, akin to those who take a quote from a HS recruit and spit out 500 words of meaningless nonsense.
  9. Among the greatest, most satisfying moments in life are when you need a random bolt or screw or some such, and you find exactly what you need in the coffee can of misfit parts you keep in the garage.
  10. “Derrick and his wife Emily are going through some relationship issues.” vs Derrick has been fucking a 23 year old he hired into his department and is paying her rent, but his wife won’t divorce him because she is afraid he will get custody of the kids since she has a OxyContin habit. Which one of these statements will start more shit if said at a office luncheon?

    Ecosystems have carrying capacities, and more humans create increased burdens on that capacity. And as the population grows we do stupid things like building subdivisions in the desert, and that requires pulling water out of other ecosystems, which destabilizes watersheds. The United States is irrationally obsessed with growth, and it's growth capitalism that's destroying the planet. Human population growth is just another facet of this deeply flawed, and potentially fatal, philosophy. As Edward Abbey said, it's the ideology of the cancer cell. Grow, grow, grow until you destroy the host.

    Here y’all go doing black and white again. How about a system that gives free preventative care, like colonoscopies and mammograms, and health credits for you know, being healthy, instead of arguing about big dollar items and the huge cost of end of life care?
  15. Every time I see them talking shit about how arch & fam are going to cannibalize the locker room, I think about the fact that the greatest goddamn player to ever grace a college football field *wanted* to redshirt at Texas, because he knew he needed it, there was another #1 overall recruit in the room, and another five star (mock) ahead of him as well. The fact that they completely fucked up their qb room by playing off one against the other until both decided to leave is their fucking problem. I know times have changed, but it is telling that Texas has the unique experience of 1) having multiple top overall recruits in the same room 2) having the most hyped recruit, hailing from a famous family, on campus & dealing with the politics 3) having enough going for it outside of football to keep those elite qbs from mutually deciding that neither of them really want to be there anymore. Yes, the major/simms drama was a pain. Yes, we did see a connor exodus that left us with case & ash. Yes, we have stocked Utah’s current qb depth chart. But, none of that shit resulted in us watching one guy win the heisman elsewhere and both guys become nfl starters. That is a distinctly aggie-level self own.

  17. That's what's wrong with these gotdamn hostile takeovers. Twitter never wanted to be acquired in the first place, and I don't think anyone really thought it would be good for their business, or their customers/users, or even society in the first place. But then "shareholder value" takes over and drives everything to perverse conclusions.
  18. Well, Sewanee is DIII, so not a possibility. And I bet I’m not alone in being fine with welcoming Tulane back. They have more SEC championships than - Mississippi State Kentucky Vanderbilt Arkansas South Carolina Missouri Texas A&M

    Pete is absolutely the best debater. That doesn’t mean minorities, or hell, even the whites will vote for him. Our country is dumb.
