Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Looks like some aggie pulled an academy sports on that ornamental piece above them.

The key takeaway for me from this debacle is that Eric Nahlin is a fucking chaos engine. I have no doubt that all this shit falls at his feet. He is the only person selfish and foolish enough to hit self destruct at the pinnacle of the best fucking season Texas Football has had in over a decade. I suppose the worst criticism I could deliver is that this mess is similar to the shit show currently taking place in College Station. It’s a goddamn shame, too, but this is who that man is and always has been. He is a small person. Period. Bobby was one of the key guys at 247 involved in hiring a struggling local sports anchor who showed up in Nashville and became a YouTube CFB star (Josh Pate), before he left for On3. I think he will be just fine navigating this new set of circumstances. He might suck at ad reads (bad news, @Wulaw Horn) and his on-screen timing may leave a lot to be desired, but he knows this market better than almost anyone. The irony is that it seems the crux of the disagreement was that Bobby’s passion project ended up being more lucrative than the business Nahlin has been running for a decade. And FYI, Ian Boyd fucking sucks. I honestly think one of the characters in Progressive’s “turning into their parents” ads is based on him…you all know which one. He has the personality of a mayonnaise sandwich. His appeal, best as I can tell, is that of an abortifacient—he snuffs the life out of everything he is involved in. I can’t read, watch, or listen to the guy. He is in constant search of galaxy-brain solutions to rudimentary problems. It’s tedious and entirely unproductive. Rod B. is everything Ian isn’t and so much more. @LTtxfan is correct—Scip and Drew are the only people worth a shit for IT on YouTube, but BO&W is correct that Scip, smarmy as he can be, is best in print form. What has kept Bobby and Gerry relevant for decades is what will continue to stand them in good stead going forward—passion, hard work, consistency, reliability, and strong relationships, with both their sources and their followers. Unfortunately, I don’t think anybody is going to come out of this completely unscathed.

Or the even more expensive, already scuffed white sneakers..these motherfuckers go for $600: Several years ago, I made the mistake of asking a girl sitting next to me at LaGuardia if the filthy shoes she was carrying had gone through the baggage handling system. You’d think I’d called her a fat fucking whore…that’s when I learned all about Golden Goose. Anyway, for the record, I wore a hoodie on our flight to and from the Caribbean this summer, and wore my crocs on the beach every day. So, I’m a total weirdo. I’ve been operating under the assumption that every Surly member was some version of Matt Shatt from SNL:- 2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
Seriously, thanks for this. We try to make it up to Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper once every couple of years, and this looks like it would be worth the schlep. Apologies for the derailment. Back to the portal shopping/haricot verts discussion..- 2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
I liked #12 using the headbutt blocking technique on the kicker. Looked kinda like what Williams was ejected for.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

Has anyone investigated whether Elko walked into that first meeting with Deion’s “I’m coming” aka the “Louis” speech? Seems like he may have.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Community engagement is off the charts with that guy. Tremendous role model.- Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44
It’s crazy to look at that graphic and remember his teary-eyed presser at Minnesota when he resigned due to multiple epileptic incidents on the sidelines. He was a walking seizure for like five years. I’m sure he’s happy to be alive.- 2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
This post reminded me of a thought that kept coming back to me while following this thread the past couple of days—I remember last year when that one guy threw an absolute bitch fit over the fact that Lincoln Riley was lapping Sark in portal additions, and drastically improving his absolutely horrendous defense by adding splashy names at critically weak positions. I couldn’t help but wonder if he got a chance to see the fruits of that labor manifest on the field in the form of a radically improved SC defense. That prescient fellow’s username seems to have escaped my memory. I sure hope he didn’t commit harakiri after watching Sark get owned all offseason… Oh, who am I kidding? We all knew that man was alive and well when the “Gerry, why does Bo Davis suck at his job?” super chats came rolling in every livestream.- 2024 Transfer Thread - The Pedantic Circlejerk
I dig that motherfucker’s energy. I have no idea if he is a good coach, but that man is cranked up to 11 in every presser I’ve seen, and most of the time his voice is already completely gone. He’s like that true freshman that has no clue where he is supposed to be going on the field, but he is going 110 mph anyway. He really plays up the fact that he was at FSU with Norvell as evidence that he knows how to successfully rebuild a program. Like you said, he’ll need some of Norvell’s portal magic to make it work.- Outcoached
Bumping this shit as @Thatguy did previously with another thread to remind people how fucking ridiculous some of you are. I told myself after reading this fucking thread at the time that if Texas went forward and achieved everything that was still in front of them, I was going to rehash these petty grievances. “Oh, he told the kids to go have fun…what a fucking pussy. He’ll never win anything with that disposition.” You morons are fucking pussies for believing that bullshit makes a goddamn difference. Even for the football board, your low-grade, downmarket, paint-by-numbers ideas about what football is, and what it takes to be successful, are so aggie-esque, it is an embarrassment. Fuck y’all. Signed, Big 12 Fucking Champs/CFP #3 Seed P.S. To the motherfuckers on other threads who: a) were “so done with Quinn” and clamoring for Maalik early in the season b) were seriously suggesting Quinn wouldn’t even start if he returned next year… Sorry you had to suffer through all of those lamentable fucking wins. The Revenge Tour continues in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. I hope you losers stay your ass on the fucking couch, so you can race over here and bitch about hearing what the ESPN mics caught Sark saying to his players during the pregame stretch period or something, and how it is an absolute disgrace and entirely antithetical to winning football. /rant- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

The funny part in all of this is that the reverberating effect of his flip caused Baylor to lose their most important recruit, a guy they could have used at various points this season. It looked like a hell of a steal for Kelly at the time. It’s a shame things didn’t work out. I’m curious, how did his season compare to DTR’s first year? I know that was a rough one.- CFB coaching carousel

Hey now, Gene Chizik and Ed Orgeron deserve some fucking respect. They totally fit the archetype, and I’m sure Bjork spent a lot of time researching their success as well.- Tell Me About Texas a&m

Bit of a tangent, but that was coincidentally the last time Tech was ranked. All they had to do was win their opener vs Wyoming this year to break the streak..and they shit the bed in spectacular fashion. It has now been over a decade since they spent two consecutive weeks in the top 25 (Baker Mayfield’s year). Mahomes spent three years there and his team was NEVER ranked. It’s funny considering how much shit they were talking in the offseason, and how they think they are positioned to be the dominant team in the new Big 12. I haven’t done the research, but I’d venture a guess that every other team has reached the top 25 more recently.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Gotta admit, I didn’t see the racist death threats coming. That’s on me. Damn shame my man E-Rob didn’t get the gig. I’m sure that would have ended well. Your Pal, Kevin Sumlin- Prediction thread 2023 Week 12: Tech at Texas
