The answer to what happened to Roach seems obvious. He started getting paid to do this for a living. Which means instead of evaluating, he also had to develop sources and give opinions on recruiting, reading kids and parents, predicting decisions, etc. You know, things that require successful interactions and building relationships with other human beings. And he’s probably now terrified of losing his job as opposed to his hobby, so he plays everything safer than Jimbo Fisher trying to cover the spread. And the result is you get a guy who can’t even give a definitive answer on whether he likes getting blowjobs. 

He fucking sucks.

So, my issues with Roach thus far:

a) Deadly fucking boring. Dude hasn't quite learned he's not actually a journalist. There's an element of storytelling and surprise to recruiting. And even trolling - EJ didn't like Texas, but him poking aggy sometimes for shits and giggles was awesome. Roach treats a CB like a cancer diagnosis and by the time he puts it in, shit's terminal.

b) Don't give a shit about the Dallas Stars (go Sharks) or Buffalo Bills (go Texans). Even cat fancier extraordinaire EJ did a better job of keeping his Twitter generally Texas-related. Even his extracurricular nonsense was generally funny to kick around.

c) No sources. EJ at least gave a point of view. Sure it was the world's most corrupt trainers and loudmouth recruits, but it was SOMETHING we could bat around.

d) He's totally starstruck with the TXHSFB corches. I don't know if this is an attempt to groom sources or what, but it's kind of embarrassing at this point. He retweets them and flatters them constantly, and when one strikes it big-ish (Traylor, Jones, McGuire) he attaches himself to their dick with a quickness that would make a candiru proud.

In total, he's not very entertaining, he doesn't bring any new info, and he's attached himself to a pretty boring group of people that don't particularly like Texas football. 

And. Scene.

Even critiquing him is boring

As Sydney Carton’s day working finally ended, he was so excited to get home. He knew his baby was there waiting for him, and that after a commute back to the home he had built he would be able to see the one he loved so much. However, he had been so productive during the day he had a few minutes to himself to check in on his favorite hobby, Texas recruiting. Sydney had connections and was knowledgable, so he enjoyed being able to see who was next for his beloved Longhorns. As he was searching for the latest information on Alfred Collins, he noticed one of the recruiting writers he follows said something about his personal life. “Man, what a chump,” he wondered aloud. “Look at this guy complimenting his wife!” Sydney grabbed his tin of Skoal blueberry, ready to buzz on the ride home. But he still couldn’t kick the thought of Roach calling his wife hot as he spit into his La Croix can. Sure, it wasn’t that weird for someone to compliment their significant other, but something stuck out about it. He ignored it as he went home, thinking about how soon he could see his wonderful spouse. He walks in the door and receives a warm embrace. “How was work,” was the question. “Oh, fine,” Sydney responded, “but something outside of work caught my eye.” His spouse looked perplexed. “This guy who covers recruiting called his wife hot! Can you believe that! What in the hell?” Sydney and his spouse sat through a silent dinner. His significant other could tell he was struggling. Bedtime came, and finally, Sydney’s significant other could hold her tongue no longer. “Do you think I’m hot, Sydney?” He was flabbergasted. “Of course! Why do you ask?” Tears rolled down his sweetheart’s face. “I’m just lucky enough to have someone as great as you in my life.” Sydney was awestruck by the moment in front of him. He realized he was so lucky, but also realized it was time to get ready to sleep to be prepared for the next day. 

“I love you, Sydney,” his wife said

Sydney responded. ”I love you too, CTJ.”

I, for one, can firmly and proudly say that after much deliberation and thought--after a season of prayerful and introspective deliberation--I, in fact, do enjoy getting blowjobs.

Sexless marriage?  Unsurprising.

It is unfortunate that Texas really has such shitty coverage both in local media and the $9.95 circuit.

ahhh so this explains all the best in the biz FCB tweets she was posting in December and January...

Jeez she basically cushioned her fall with her breast and her face. Crazy.

Rivals more or less admitting that Patrick Mahomes was one of their biggest mis-evaluations.

Interesting that they're admitting this now, as opposed to last year when he won NFL MVP and was one boneheaded offsides play away from going to the Super Bowl.

First, you can go fuck yourself, pal. It’s not about whether I could find pictures of her if I tried. It’s the principle of the matter.
 

Second, yeah... “hot” is not a word I’d use to describe her. Those pictures are much more in line with what I thought Roach could pull. 

She's a Vic Mackey special.  

Nice piece on the early days of recruiting rankings, before Rivals and 247Sports existed:

With all the flack Roach is getting for his podcast, somewhere @OnAComputeris very awkwardly giggling into a microphone.

Roach is a good dude. He's always been kind to me and has never given me a reason to dislike him. He's one of the more likable guys in that business. Also, hosting a podcasting is a lot harder than being the cohost, and he does a good job of it. You're not always having to think of how to transition, what everything sounds like, how much time you need to spend on a certain topic before it starts to get boring, and other shit. It's also not what he spends the most time on either. And a reminder that he's really only been doing this professionally for like... 3 years?

DT is an awesome dude. Love having his knowledge about what goes on behind the scenes on and off the field.

You do a helluva job. I thought the football podcast would take a hit when Mike left due to limiting the amount of recruiting news, but DT was a great pick up. I also enjoy pretend we're football...especially considering how badly the team sucks. 

Meanwhile, ole Mike livetweeted the Stars game and wrote an article about putting in CBs other people already did, based on other people's reporting

The similarities he shares with Michael Dell are amazing. Except for the SWT, lazy and 6 figure parts.

it seems Mike Roach has inherited E.J.'s penchant for travel struggles.

 

BON posted about the crowd at a UNC game they were at, comparing it to Texas basketball crowds, that was such a sad-sack wallow in self-pity that even they realized it was pathetic and deleted it quickly and replaced it with this:

In my mind the guy on the left looks like CTJ and Sydney is grabbing ketch junk.  

Kinda like guessing what someone looks like based on their phone voice, I probably got it backwards.

I get not wanting to wear traditional wedding attire but that shouldn't mean you show up looking like a slob who just hopped off his skateboard that in reality you're too old to be riding anyway. EJH is such a cunt.

i can not reconcile a single thing about that outfit.

hat indoors, while the girl is at least dressed up a bit

highwater pants

tennis shoes

a fucking ernie sweater

the only chin pube nest I have ever seen actually worse than Lucci's

and people pay this idiot for anything other than cleaning toilets?

you see what you recruiting nerds have created?

From my limited streetwear knowledge:

Hat - probably $150-200 due to it being Heron Preston but can't find the exact model

Cardigan - $412 (https://shop.doverstreetmarket.com/us/comme-des-garcons/play/knitwear/black-play-men-s-cardigan-grey)

Jeans - not sure but Neil Barrett stuff usually runs around $600 (https://www.neilbarrett.com/us/sets/man/denim?colors=1&pageIndex=1&sort=requestproductsids&sortDirection=asc)

Shoes - $415 (https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men/off-white-vulcanized-low-top-platform-sneakers-item-14052738.aspx?storeid=12572)

Total - $1500-1600

All for the cumulative effect of looking like a GameStop employee who forgot his shift was on that day at his own wedding. Crushing it.

A market of interest where a huge corporation pays a minuscule salary that only young hipster, dipshits, washed up idiot retreats, and Jeff Howe will work for? There's a couple exceptions to that rule, specifically guys that have ownership stakes or their pay is tied to subscription numbers, but yeah. 

EJ was going to be a faget regardless of what he did for a living, sir.
