College football is broken. This is not a Texas problem. They (agents, players, and the courts) have ruined the game. If I coached at any of the big schools where winning is a requirement, I would either retire or head off to the NFL where at least there are rules governing the sport. What we have now is total and utter chaos with very little loyalty. It is over.

I mentioned it in the snap count thread for the bowl game, but Barnes didn’t look great against Michigan outside of a few snaps. I just went back and checked, JJR, moved over to LB for the bowl game actually out snapped him. Athletic guy, needs more time in the oven before seeing the field.

OTF just confirmed… have a nice day everyone

Could this not be a good sign that we’re getting Alliegro and Barnes is scared of the possibility of not playing much next year?

Bobby made a comment on it

We are all in lol , this portal period is brutal but hey All In

Mods still haven’t said anything on X or in any of the feeds so there is still hope it’s a false report.

When did Nico Harrison become GM of Texas football?

It’s being reported he’s being asked to take a paycut. What are we doing? Where is all this money we are “saving” going?

Texas A&M bound

I went with hobby boxes. I got an auto of Jayson Kent and Asia O'Neil in my first box opened. Vince, Derrick Johnson , Arch school colors and a cool Sayna Richard-Ross

Asking the #1 LB in his class to take a paycut is an absolute joke. Shameful

sark must get a bonus if he doesn’t spend all the NIL money. we roster building like the cowboys

This is the first portal loss that truly bothers me.

What in the real life f is happening to our roster. This one doesn’t make any sense. HOW ARE WE ABOUT TO RUN A 3-3-5 WITHOUT LINEBACKERS?!??

I would just skip to the 2nd half around the 14 minute mark when he benches most of the team for effort

Mods would it be possible to pull together an analysis of number of portal entries by big name program. Is the exodus Texas experiencing similar to what other schools are facing? OSU, Bama, UGA, etc. Or are they having better success with quantity of retention? I would say thus far outside of Wisner we haven’t had a huge drop off in frontline starters so Sark is doing okay on the quality retention.

Now we need 3 LBs

Are we really getting all worked up over a slogan?

I’m having a hard time understanding this. No one is spending NIL like there is a cap. Is Texas the only team playing by the rules. This smells of Oklahoma last year trying to be too cute with money management. What the hell are we doing.

I’ll take the blame for the lack of a game thread. I got tied up with something for YouTube channel and then was on the livestream with Bobby and CJ. As of now, I’m still trying to find time to watch the game, which will be my punishment for not putting up the thread.

I checked out when the cut it to ten points. Why? Because Rick Barnes teams do let you bank into the game. Then I took one last look at the players on the floor and said yeah I am going to bed.

If true, this is one I truly do not understand. Two LB starters are gone, and a starting role is right there for him if he works hard and continues to improve. ETA: I have no idea about money issues, and if Burton says he is 3rd string, ok. To me it is one more example of current athletes expecting instant gratification and leaving if waiting one’s turn and developing is expected. i know, I am old and coached in a far different era. I thought Barnes had lots of promise, but what do I know.
