Howell is really looking for anything at this point.  And who gives a shit about last year's DL when we landed Sharma, Charles, and Terry.

God the 2A Ball shit never fails to make me fucking laugh. They're on a fucking sports message board, that claims to have fans of college football and recruiting, and yet they've never been willing to admit that both other famous mannings, NFL hall of Famers, went to the exact same 2A fucking HS. 

"2A HS player, he'll never be successful." Gosh if only there was any kind of historical litmus test we could look at for college football players with the last name Manning, from LA, and who went to a very specific 2A High School and how they fared at the College, and then NFL level. If only. 

so... we're going to the Citrus Bowl for the next few years, too?

It's incredible how much he has to dig for a perceived win. Up 6-5 on head to head recruiting battles of in-state lineman since 2023 ya stupid sip. Our class rankings over those three years: #3, #5, #1. A&M's class rankings over those three years: #10, #16, #10. There is quite literally not even one position group that they've recruited better over that time period.

Here's how I know the one guy talking about donors is full of shit, or fucking dumb as a sack of hammers. Most likely both. Due to the fact I have seats in the SEZ, which I fucking SPLIT with another poster here, I am ranked in the...lets see here...low 1,000's of the almost 53,000 alums that have loyalty points at the University of Texas. Now, never mind that my overall total contribution probably isn't even a speck of shit on an elephant's ass for the guys that are 500 or above. 

But I bet in that rube's eyes, that would qualify me as a Big Donor. And you know who's never had any kind of "personalized" reach out from the AD about giving to Texas One Fund, or anything else? Me. No one's ever reached out to me "personally" to solicit shit from me. 

That fucking idiot thinks that someone who got a generic email from the AD or One Fund is being "reached out to personally" 

For grins, I went and looked at the loyalty stuff in the donor portal. The total base is 52,930. I seriously doubt that there is any personal outreach whatsoever after donor rank 999.

Yup. I did the same. Which is how I guessed the 500 for donors who've actually given enough money to be notable. Because I sure as hell am not.

I'm outside of that, but not by a lot, and they have reached out to me without realizing things regarding NIL. The cutoff is somewhere between you and I, so I am guessing it's at 1000. Could be as high as 600, I guess.

A thousand makes sense then, in that context. Because I'm JUST over 1k.

The Blake Ivy and Lamont Rogers wins are suspect. A&M did want Christian Jackson and Nate Kibble.

And there is that Ant Hill guy, whatever happened to him, oh and Ty'anthony Smith.   Maybe if they tell A&M to fuck off first, and we get them that doesn't count as head to head.

I am like in the mid 30,000s and I have been personally contacted. They asked me to donate to the NIL fund by sending them prepaid visa debt cards and western union money orders. They must update the list annually because I sent them the money 6 months ago and I still haven’t seen my loyalty points go up.

Aggy gonna Aggy. preaching to the choir, I know.

They just ignore the Head-to-Head recruiting battles Texas has with Ohio State & Georgia, and to a lesses extent, USC, Oregon. and the local school of the day, for the cream of the crop in HS football every year that would never consider Aggy, but for a steaming pile of shit, opps!, or cash. 

Because those guys never consider aggy, they don't exist. Therefore A&M is close to Texas in talent.

Better business model than selling ice to the Eskimos. Looch gets to fleece the locals year round. 

I like how Brauny is a fat baseball player from nowhere Louisiana and he’s critiquing the top football players in Texas and around the country. And aggy shovels money at him for it.

Every business model is better than selling ice to eskimos. That's why the saying "He could sell ice to eskimos" is praising the talent of the salesman...not the business model. Perhaps you meant something more along the lines of "Selling Sheep to an Aggie."

I love the guy thinking that Texas fans are worried about a recruiting ranking in June. Until I read that, I didn't have any idea where we actually were ranked right now, and I don't care. I view it as a given that the class will finish top5 and likely top 3. 

Howell lives in redass aggie fantasyland with his thinking. It's a key part of why he's constantly caught off guard by obvious developments with recruits every cycle, and then he does the PeeWee Herman maneuver where he tells everyone he meant to do that and saw everything coming. 

One thing the OU fans understand quite clearly in conversations on their boards is that their overall ranking doesn't matter in a standalone manner. What matters is how that ranking compares to their rivals and on-field opponents. OU fan will look at a ranking of 17th and shrug, then see that Texas finished 1st and 7 other SEC teams also finished ahead of them and then start to panic. ATM fan will completely ignore what is happening with anyone else and just find a way to crow about wherever they were ranked and start anew, demanding national titles or else!

I don't get excited about anything but linemen and QB's when it comes to recruiting.  If we are getting our 1st and 2nd choices most of the time then I know we are going to fuck people up. 

We can find skill players, linebackers and secondary players in the portal.  Linemen are tougher.  Well, I say that, but we landed a bunch of DLinemen in the portal this past cycle.

It's good to be Texas these days.  It's like Doc Holliday getting his badge and getting off his fucking death bed to curbstomp Johnny Ringo.  I am here for it all and am looking forward to full spectrum dominance across all sports.

The time for judgment is at hand and the University of Texas will become the instrument of destruction to punish all evildoers!

It will be due to our toxicity. We put worms in Sankey's head so we get easy schedules, crooked refs, and more promotion. We own/are the sweetheart of the media. And we have to buy players because nobody wants to use our horrid facilities.

And few SEC Night Games!

Johnny Cash’s Man taking names.  

Slightly rambling but points as I thought of them.

Wow, talk about living in a bubble. I haven't lived in Texas for many years but I have to believe most of the texags base are not grown professionals? Or, maybe not? Very few grasp the current landscape or why they struggle.  Yea, love CS, it's a real shithole. Aside from the aesthetics, being a barren cow pasture, middle of the road education in most subjects, mid at best coaches, weird ass traditions (especially of never winning anything important), etc - that screams to players to come there.  They have to pay the inverse of the Saban tax and wonder why the portal is loaded with their players with no development.  Texas has to pay for visits is their great mantra (transference).  Yep, Austin a top 10 place to live in the US, academics in top 20 in anything important, Blue-Blood back on track and winning, NFL development, great facilities, opportunity for real exposure for NIL, tons of things to do, etc.

I have never seen a post on our forums lamenting what they are doing. This goes back to hornfans and some site prior to that (mostly lurking).  We will bitch about coaches but never about what aggie is doing. I think Elko may could be a decent coach. Problem is, he's from the Jimbo tree and has nothing to draw on or good connections (look at his hires - not a coach we'd even call). The guy is faced with: Hello, this is Mike Elko at TAM, I'd like to talk with you .... response: Uhm, who are you? Yes! It's that dumpster fire of an AD in Texas that is also fiscally having issues ... but, I thing USC is too? Click.

It's great they brought back the entire OL, Hoping they can again. Look at what they did with multiple high DL draft picks last year. Wisner ran crazy on them. QE was good at times but was our weak link (hurt, no zip on ball). Should have been a much worse beating. Is their any position group they have that concerns us? Moss is a good RB, Conception seems like an OK WR but Reed has to pass the ball behind that OL. 

Watch their Spring game on YT - it's 1h 12m condensed. He hit a few but is still below average on passing. They had to change secondaries and hold on rushing after the half to help him. I think 8-4 is best with a real shot at 7-5 for them.  As said before they just write the jokes, it's a mockery.  Goat pictures? Yea, that's cool - it went viral according to one of their guys ... maybe look at why.  They embarrass Texas (the state). Oh and Trev needs an extension ASAP.

Much like their exburb restaurant scene, they’re 10 years behind the rest of the country. A 5 star, is a well a 5 star. It doesn’t matter if they’re from Texas or Georgia if they’re playing for your team.

Yeah but Texas gets as much out of your donations as A&M does out of their #50, once the Billy Liucci tax is imposed.

I love how according to this narrative Texas is focused on dominating in state, whereas for those of us actually following Texas recruiting, we know we're bringing in more out of state players than we ever have. 

Interesting how “it’s early/its June” only comes up when someone wants to make the point that there’s still time for something that appears to be bad (in-state blue chip recruiting in this case) to get better- but never gets mentioned as a way to throttle enthusiasm over the stuff they think is going great.  
 

they can exist in at least two different realities simultaneously, which is an impressive feat to be sure. 

Wait, aggy is all excited that the noted Elko fluffer (Wiltfong) wrote a positive tweet based entirely on intel Elko gave him.

I was shocked that stupidity was refuted with logic and data points by what must certainly be a sip sock account.

I will give this guy credit for his logic regarding Mack Brown recruiting but he lost the narrative track cause he somehow forgot that Texas won the first Big XII after we both joined in 1996 and while he remembered winning the Big XII south in 1997 somehow forgot the "close loss" to Corn to the tune of 54-15. Its also interesting that he did mention their one single 1998 Big XII championship which matches... checks notes... Arizona State, OSU, TCU and CU.
