UThomas

I think he tweeted nonsense for like 24 hours straight a few months ago sooo… read into that what you will.

Seemed like they were picking on #5 Mohammed in the 2nd half, not sure if he was manned against their top wr

The amount of turnover they are having is not the sign of a healthy program. 7-5 or worse

Former Texas now NFL QB Sam Elingers younger brother was a linebacker on the team a few years ago. OD’d on Xanax laced with fentanyl and was found dead. Not sure why it came up on a sign at this point, but I think taffe (safety who had the early int) was HS teammates also.

Can you watch that defense and not see playmakers at multiple levels? The d alone puts them in top conversation. Would they take more losses w a harder schedule? Obviously, like every other team

We saw that in the Big 12, where it created its own network whose revenue it didn't share with the rest of the conference

Oh and mizzou was sharing their tier 3 rights? No? Ok then. Also A&M was offered to share

The alleged gap between Oregon Ohio st and Texas vs bama lsu Clemson is way smaller than the gap between Texas and and everyone in the big 12 over the past ten years. I’d look for results first. Times are changing but the more they change you’ll find out the more they stay the same

I thought we were talking NIL? The haves in NIL are not going to be the same haves from the bag game era. Sorry bama, lsu, Clemson, etc.

I can’t tell which defense is a worse matchup for which offense.

This is one of them. A&M brought in $279MM in operating revenue.

---

As mentioned, its like $50MM lower than that due to made up “revenue” like a $12MM internal loan and a capital campaign.

Anyway interesting Ohio state edges texas w $44MM less fball rev.

I believe 100 percent this happened.. But NCAA isn't going down the road to seize players phone records and after the Freeze issue at OM... If coaches are using school phones... Then they are just stupid. So color me shocked if anything happens

Would be pretty ballsy for Alabama to do also. See Mack Brown/Drake Mayes convo a year ago...

Mack Brown Accuses of Tampering

Last year we had 10 4*s on the roster at OL. tu had 7 plus 2 5*. Pretty similar.

Well, you're the only one talking about Texas here, but their starting line for 2023 had a SR, JR, JR, and 2 5 start So on it - and So and RS-Fr filling out the 2 deep. Next year they will likely have 4 juniors and a Sr starting.

ATM had a bunch of RS-Fr bouncing around (check the season snap counts), and has the oldest player (Robinson) going NFL and 3 more going to the portal already (2 of the older guys - aka soph, and a 12 game starting fr in 2023). Do you expect the new coach to make a few RS-Soph and RS-Fr into a great line? Esp when your higher ranked guys like Fatheree (injured knee) and Dewberry have been losing snaps, and a starter like Bisontis is bailing. Your only Junior (Aki) has gotten maybe 20 snaps in 2023? Where are the contributing juniors and seniors? IMO that's a multi year rebuild, not coaching up the existing bench. To each their own.

that was the last time anyone has ever mentioned concussion with the kid and that was several years ago. You are making stuff up.

So we're acting like the Ole Miss game when his head bounced off the ground on the last drive and he missed the Florida game with "the flu" wasn't a thing?

Twitter vid: head bouncing off the ground



Hope he gets the flu shot next year if he is running 10-15 times a game.

Does any offense work with a terrible OL and injured QB? Gonna have to upgrade the line specifically in the portal.

---

That was last year's narrative also. Is the portal a viable strategy for rebuilding multiple positions on OL?

Interesting hire given the narrative around Jimbos offense being too slow and plodding.

How is his offense going to work with the talent on hand anytime soon - aka a glass QB and a terrible OLine? They also just lost their good TE; he likes to run 2 TE sets and had a line full of RS-SR's. And has he ever had a receiver over 750 yards in a season? We'll see...

Unlikely. At home for the horns on Sr day, and tech has a ton of starters on d injured

They processed 2 5 star QB’s in Swoops and Hurd.

You may want to recheck sumlin/aggies recruiting record during that time

I can promise you A&M doesn’t have 23k or 28k in applicants. It’s much higher.

---

Right. Those were published stats from 2011. 10 years later it was 42k. I.e. showing that UT was much harder to get into still before the 6% thing. As it was before the 10% thing.

It also one reason people call A&M a diploma mill lately. Almost 20k more admissions after 10 years, and still north of 60% acceptance rate and LESS faculty (seriously - look at it). Meanwhile during that same time period UT Austin shrunk enrollment, and added faculty. Same strategy?

I also find it interesting with 15k more students, A&M only had 1k more graduates a year.
