I don't want to put too much on the aggie schedule outcomes over the next 4 weeks, but it is hard not to do so. If ATM shits the bed and goes 1-3 or 0-4 during that run, there is going to be a lot crawfishing coming from the people participating in buying players. They're trying to fuck with Texas on Muhammed. With MM, they're offering something absurd, but it's not clear that they can even get that done. Texas wants MM no matter what, in any event.
If ATM is in Year 5 of Ritz Bit and they are sitting at 2-4 and trying to push for recruits, they're not going to have as much firepower behind them. To say that the money this cycle is being reluctant would be an understatement.
Also, the word is that they're more interested in seeing Hale not go to Texas than they are in having him sign with them. I mean, in any other setting, I would say that sounds like pure bullshit. Of course, this is not any other setting.
Wait, so you think Bama looking like shit at WR is a good thing in recruiting Hale? I don't see that. Sarkisian and Marion have everything they need in order to sell Texas to recruits, Hale included.
