If true they spent way too much money for a mediocre QB

Nice read. This ain’t our father’s college football landscape any longer…

I was told that Quinn was offered $8 million dollars to go play for Notre Dame. Is a person that told me this full of baloney?

Yeah Sark knew, he just played it cool, no biggie.

Every great streak ends at some point.

This “value” is about as real as a new crypto currency.

Colt surgery not related to his spleen.

it's always those closest to you that cut you the deepest @Blake Munroe

Tuesday being a prime example of just that. Adding prospects from Florida and Georgia continue the trend of the national approach Steve Sarkisian and his staff have taken on the recruiting trail. The current class sits at 20 commits after the Tuesday explosion. And it is possible the Longhorns reach that 21 number our @Bobby Burton has been alluding to by the weekend. Among those 20 commits, there are eight states representing half of the members in the Texas class currently. 10 – Texas 2 – Florida 2 – Georgia 2 – Louisiana 1 – Alabama 1 – California 1 – Louisiana 1 – North Carolina Of course, RB Derrick Cooper hails from Hollywood, Florida as well. Going off of the 43 official visitors in the month of June, only 17 called Texas home. For the first time in my Texas-recruiting-life, the majority of official visitors traveled to Austin from outside the state of Texas. *** I asked Steve Sarkisian on Tuesday how does he and the staff go about balancing the national approach with making sure that his backyard is kept in check. For what it is worth, I don't think anyone will care where prospect X comes from if he arrives in Austin and provides a positive impact. "It's hard, I think now more than ever – I will try to make it as not longwinded as I can. 16 years ago or so, this thing called Twitter started. And I really believe that around 2008 or 2009, the landscape of recruiting really started to shift. The ability to connect two players directly for coaches – and for y'all that cover recruiting – dramatically changed. Because of that connection, players were more apt to travel. I think after COVID, it accelerated it even more. Players (were thinking) I can go somewhere, I can see (the campus). Because they spent a year there where they couldn't go anywhere. And so now, when you add in revenue sharing and publicity rights, things of that nature, NIL. And now people have resources to reach out. But, you can't take them all. At the end of the day, we try to make really strategic decisions based on our roster. We think we have a really good roster this season and think we will have a really good roster next year. But I also try to foresee the forest through the trees of where the gaps in issues we may have coming up. We can't recruit them all, and I would love to. I would love to take every player in the state of Texas and say 'Come be a Longhorn,' but it wouldn't be feasible. The reality of it is we have some really good football players, we have a great brand right now – it is a national brand right now – and the exposure our program has gotten over the past couple of years has been huge for us. Some of the best players in the country have some real interest in us. But again, we don't try to recruit all of those either. I don't know how everybody does all of that. I don't have the time or the energy to do all of those things. But what we do is we narrow our pool down pretty good based off of the ability, then the person and the family, and if they will be a good fit for us."

Right when you left he was muted and buddy I got him good. Got a nice DM from him on twitter as well 😂

As one who grew up in Texas I definitely get why A&M is considered a rival, but having lived out of state the last 30 plus years I also agree with your perspective as well.

I went there so @Joe Zura didn't have to.

ROASTED

Did Sark even know what that was? Probably thought it was some rando intro music.

👀👀👀👀

He was muted when Bobby asked the crew who wanted to travel.

Why didn't @Blake Munroe go with ya'll to Media Days? Can he not behave or something? Maybe only showers once a week?

Sark not being phased by the Aggie War Hymn was most likely because he didn't even recognize what the Aggie War Hym was. Sark has spent most of his life in California and out of Texas, and that war hymn is not recognized by anyone outside of the state of Texas. Do I know the Michigan fight song? Yes (thank you EA sports). Do I know the Ohio State song, unfortunately that has been imprinted in my head after years of ESPN. The Oklahoma song, again, unfortunately yes its' beat is undeniable. The "Aggie War Hym"? I couldn't pick it out of a lineup, and obviously neither could Sark 🙂

@Gerry Hamilton any comments on this one?

I'll always wonder how he held onto that ball!
