How could “Shannon Terry” possibly be able to put a percentage on that?

To be fair he is a CRNA I think. That might be the absolute best paying job that has no sales or ownership hassle/risk associated with it and is a 40 hour a week type job that you don’t take home with you. Jobs like that where you can roll out of school to 200k more or less by your mid to late 20’s and be employable anywhere really are awesome. I get why he was pretty exited with his career.  

I can add some confirmation to this. My ex is an Anesthesiologist and several times said if she could have a do over she preferred being a CRNA. She said less study, work hours and professional liability. Enough pay to keep her happy and they aren’t stuck 24 hours in call room at hospital. A lot of them do locums and enjoy a great life.

We have had some obvious guys hit the portal so far. 

Who else is buried on the depth chart that might pull the trigger?

Im suprised Ishmael Ibraheem hasnt gone. 

With all the trouble hes been through, im suprised hes still here regardless. 

He came in with such high expectations. And with him sticking around i was always expecting to see him pop up on the field and start realizing that potential. 

But I dont remember ever seeing him on the field. I know ive never heard him mentioned.

Yes it’s great to call yourself a doctor (DNP) when it’s convenient and then be just a nurse when shit hits the fan.

Exactly, those comments were shortly after she was sued and prior to tort reform in Mississippi with no caps on malpractice claims.

The smart anesthesiologists end up doing interventional pain management. The female anesthesiologists aged rapidly due to sleep deprivation and the stress of dealing with shithead surgeons.

I’m sure Vaughns and his 1 sack would love to come back. Don’t think that feeling is mutual.

My wife was at a medical center and they paid her as state employee at a low salary as professor attending residents. They somehow had a private side that billed for services ,but nowhere near the income of out in town. That was main income. So you are correct about pain management. She had a former resident ask her to join his practice in Tennessee promising millions a year. He later was busted by feds for over prescribing Narcotics!  Interesting note when she was studying for boards I first learned about fentanyl. This was 25 years ago. She said they had residents steal fentanyl patches off anesthesia cart and found one in bathroom and resuscitated him. I said guess he lost his license and is in prison? She said no he’s a doctor he was rehabilitated and practing again!

User name checks out……..

Look Doctor talk is the new Chicken Fried Steak, Kate and cat facts wish casting and we will get several good portal prospects after the bowl games.

He's had two good seasons at Utah St - and would have been nice to have as depth here at Texas.

Or maybe you're just a really big Jett Bush fan?

Should we still be worried?

Is this like a futureman type thing?

CRNA, FNP, BSN, IDGAF they’re all shitty providers and terrible clinicians. Now that we’ve got that sorted out, can we get back to the fact of the matter that a good number of you have gone full potato. Christ

The wheels are already in motion to keep Worthy. He’s going to get accepted into the nursing school and given a CRNA certification.

If I'm reading between the lines and making shit up properly, then yes we should be worried [if he's not the absolute star of the game].

Well, that sucks.  I thought that was the one position Texas would be aggressive looking to fill via the portal.  But it looks like they are being ultra selective about their offers to the point that if they don't get a portal safety they're ok with that.

I’m sure Vaughns and his 1 sack would love to come back. Don’t think that feeling is mutual.
He did good at Utah State, probably would have been bowl MVP today if his team had an offense.

Would love for Worthy to stay, but Sark just signed another handful of WRs his size that are hungry enough to not give up on routes when tracking an imperfect throw from our QB. Our WR room will be very competitive next season regardless of who transfers out.

Man, I'm really hoping this mythical safety that the staff is waiting for materializes and we grab them. Thompson developed over the year, but I don't think he's looking to be an All American and we still have to replace Cook

 

Or are they just planning on shuffling the DBs? Have Barron at NB still but move Watts to safety. I know I've read something of the sort (but it could have been Ian fucking Boyd for all I know) about moves, and OSU fans did say he played better at safety for them. Then again I thought our pitch to him was that he could play CB, so dunno how feasible that is. Can't remember if it was something seriously being considered or more 995 bullshitting

 

As long as we're not relying entirely on unproven depth/young starters across the secondary we'll be fine. Just less margin of error imo since the secondary doesn't seem to be as well coached as the front 7 (wild fucking sentence I never thought I'd type before the season)

Card and Notre Dame were serious as a pairing until ND tried to force the transfer before he was sure. That’s from someone who knows the family. @Longhorn94 can confirm or dispute for fact checking. 

I guess you could say that Card was … late in his decision-making.

Sorry guys, I haven't had a lot of time for football stuff lately. Last I heard was that TCU was pushing hard. I was surprised by Purdue but seems like a good choice. I will see what I can find out about how it all went down after I work though this life stuff that is currently occupying most of my time.

SAF?  Is S no longer sufficient?

It’s not anymore. We decided in the committee last month that S was confusing because it could mean Snapper (Long Snapper or Short Snapper of course). This change is expected to clarify terms.

What do you have against the word “the?”

I don’t really like all this “selectiveness” regarding portal offers.  I think the staff has shown real aggression and tenacity on the recruiting trail, which is awesome.  But I’m not seeing any of that in the portal, which has much greater potential to impact the roster immediately.  Go and get the starter-quality guys who are available and if better guys become available down the road, go get them too.

If numbers become an issue, trapdoor the dead weight on the roster.  There’s still plenty of fat to trim.  We need to approach this like professional free agency, we can’t be squeamish about hurt feelings or crushed dreams.  You want to live your dream of going to Texas on a football scholarship?  Get better at football or gtfo.

You think their portal approach is to protect against “hurt feelings” on the current roster?

Imagine how stupid Hudson Card is going to feel when Texas wins the national championship next year and he barely gets into the tax slayer whatever bowl where a whopping 12 people will be in attendance. 

It's almost as stupid as Tom Brady getting divorced from Giselle so he could not go to the playoffs.

we have no idea how selective they are being, typically portal players are not sharing offers on twitter like high school recruits. come on man.

There is honestly just not that much talent in the portal.  People keep hyping it up like the best players from middling P5 teams are gonna be available (the Dante Stills and Evan Stewarts).  It's just not happening.

I don't think I've seen anyone enter the portal that would have started for us last year.

If he gets to start in the Gator Bowl, versus riding pine in the Playoff, he'll probably take the Gator Bowl.

WTF are you even talking about, and why so salty?  Geez, the guy wants to play, what an asshole!  Purdue isn't world beater but they are Power 2 conference team and he will probably start there.  They've knocked off some big boys over the past few years and I can't blame him for making the move when his other option is to be the 2nd or maybe even 3rd stringer at Texas depending on how MM pans out.

You don’t think that WR from Missouri who was first team all SEC would have beat out Casey Cain?  OK.   How about the Jihad guy from Syracuse who was a freshman all American.  You don’t think he was better than Thompson?   I don’t think you’ve looked very hard.

I definitely feel like there hasn't been as many players entering with proven consistent production at the P5 or G5 level as last year. Obviously still several weeks to go and then the spring period.

There has been good players enter who would start here, but not at the volume I expected.

Portal is a plus for coaches that figure out how to use it.  

Get better players in than those going out.  

The hard part is keeping the good players,  coaches like Dumbo can only cry about it.

We already upgraded 2 positions and hosted a guy that would upgrade a third (Carter, though based on the update wording we got Buckeyed). Bowls haven't happened yet. Chill.

I thought that post was clearly in the realm of farce sarcasm especially after saying Texas is going to win the national championship. For those who don't get it, that was a joke. 

We’re not winning the National Championship next year???
