Its been many years, but i remember him on OB. Sorry for the loss. I pray peace be on his family and friends.

can anyone confirm if the 'protecting historic in-state rivals' provision is still in it, and if so, how do they determine historic in-state rivals? I do not see Tech being a historic rival of Texas, and if it's on games against other in-state schools, Tech is still 6th, behind Rice and TCU and SMU. I assume Campbell will have the bill written so the look back in calculating rivals will favor Tech. Number of time Texas has played an in-state school: Texas a&m - 118 Baylor - 112 Rice - 96 TCU - 93 SMU - 73 Texas Tech - 72 Houston - 25 North Texas - 10

Yeah. 😁

Agree.

Not sure why everyone is writing off Pack in CF. It’s his natural position and guys do get better. Adrian Rodriguez proved a lot of people wrong this season playing SS. Lugo didn’t play CF at Campbell his freshman year. But we should have options next year. Pack has been playing CF for the Collegiate National Team. Here is a nice play.

Lugo is 5’9” and 185 lbs per the Campbell baseball site.

You would have thought we had the 100th ranked class based on some of the comments here over the last two months. And we ended up with a higher ranked class than last year (15th).

Probably agree with you

I get that he's a good player, but I am not gonna lose sleep over some 17 year old when even if he came here could very well transfer out after his freshman year anyway...

Oh gotcha

FIFY.

Or O-line discussions.

How big is he? Sorry if I missed this earlier

One more thought, it appears the media rights fight is basically over, and the SEC and Big Ten won it. Pooling is voluntary now, and there's language saying nobody can sue them for sitting it out. What's actually holding things up is enforcement. They're not signing off on a bigger cap unless the associated-entity loophole is really closed, and I don't blame them. Otherwise the number means nothing and their own schools just keep escalating right past it. They also want the nine-year sunset gone, better antitrust protection so this doesn't just end up back in court anyway, and some assurance that a $22.5M retention pool stacked on a court-approved settlement cap actually holds up legally. That last one is Petitti's own point, and it's a fair one. He wants to read the language before he commits to it. None of that strikes me as unreasonable. But none of it is small either, and every one of those asks buys them more time. If they think they can do better next offseason, there's no cost to just waiting this out.

Expectations always seem to be higher for certain QB's, which is quite interesting to me. Controversy only seems to follow certain QB's, which is also quite interesting to me. Rumors always seem to surround certain QB's, which again, also seems interesting to me. Not surprised, in this climate, there's excitement about the "humble" haircut. Just know.. the cheers are never real for the name on the back, just the one on the front. You're property... nothing new.

Hank, Not referring to this announcement. A previous thread topic mentioned he was going to make an announcement today regarding "the elephant in the room." I clearly understand this X post is about his 17th. I was not referring to this post.

My bad, 2 years. I’m glad daddy Gerry is ensuring you have therapy and it is possibly working. I’m a lost cause, especially during games.

The biggest development today is what didn't happen. The SEC and Big Ten had a 9 a.m. deadline to give Congress their position on the revised bill, and they let it come and go, scheduling more calls with their presidents instead. That tells me they're still negotiating, not endorsing. And look how far the bill has already moved toward them. Media-rights pooling is now explicitly voluntary, with language barring lawsuits against conferences that stay out. The expansion limit goes to 19 members. There's a $20 million retention pool on top of the $21.3 million revenue-sharing cap, plus another $5 million restricted to women's sports, putting the total around $46 million. They're reportedly still pushing to get that full $25 million unrestricted, along with tighter recruiting language and killing the nine-year sunset on the cap. A month ago the question was whether the SEC and Big Ten would accept Congress's bill. Now Congress is writing a bill for them to accept, and they're still not saying yes. Whether they finally sign off probably determines if this reaches the Senate floor before Aug. 7 or slips into the fall.

We lost another great longhorn last week. Steve Rawley (aka SteveHookem) passed away unexpectedly on July 23rd. I don't know if he was on this board but he was a long time member on Orangebloods a proflic poster and great fan. Just wanted to pass it along. I'm posting the obituary below. https://www.woodlawnfh.com/obituaries/Steven-Edward-Rawley?obId=49129012&source=SmsSh&utm_source=copy+url&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=obituary-share&utm_content=copy+url

So, @Bobby Burton did the clock run out? 🙏 🤘

It is not matter of if but when. A no brainer. Again our NIL part is being funded by a few big donors. Not talking about Learfield etc. Donor fatigue is real. And to leave anywhere from 20 -40 million out of the budget yearly for a decade would be ridiculous. And despite what CDC said, things change. And CDC is not a ridiculous AD. And I'm sure he understands that. And probably in the works as we speak. .

Imagine being a 17 year old kid from NOLA and your X inbox is inundated with Sam Spiegleman, Shea Dixon and the Cajun Ketch:
