For some reason YT won’t embed the video this morning.

Let’s talk the latest Texas news and notes around 8:15 AM. Plus we will take your questions! https://www.youtube.com/live/NWmbpsVg86E?si=8XggOp1blKfGPt-z

All former Alabama players need to reject Saban, Man clearly doesn't give a damn about how hard they worked. He thinks he deserved 10 mil while they deserved nothing. He literally lied to the Dolphins and then took the Alabama job. Then he complains about NIL? Who believes this crap? Idiots, that who.

I literally can't believe this. The man is rich beyond belief, but he thinks the guys who made him rich should have to shut up and be limited by some illegal executive order? Send this man straight to purgatory. Who does he think he is? I guess he thinks he's a god.

I'm thinking Saban is worse than Satan.

I don't think there's eve been a "man" who made so much money on the free market and then complained about others making money. Obviously he's not a real man. He's a pansy. Why does he care that people make money? We can't take this nonsense.

He's a damn communist.

Saban made over 100 million by lying to LSU, the Dolphins and Alabama. He talks to chump and now we gotta bow down hypocrisy?

Saban whining about NIL is like the Russians whining about the US having technological superiority in 1990.

Trump's a communist. Texas must defeat communism. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/president-trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-limiting-nil-after-meeting-with-nick-saban-012129625.html

Unlike Luka, none of these guys are fat white boys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw

First paper I published was on the connection between New Jack Swing and Nietzsche when I was 20. I wrote it for an old female professor from Germany who escaped the Holocaust. She interrupted to tell me I shouldn't try to discuss Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil in connection with a pop star like Bobby Brown. I said that might be true, but it didn't mean there wasn't a connection. That's why we aren't the criminal sooners or Aggies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q39E_DgfHqs

Someone asked me what I'm talking about. Balled on a low level with some great athletes here in east Texas, but enough to hang. Then quickly transitioned to world class intellectual competition while studying at Texas. Took that beyond the limit by reading Kant and Hegel every day for about ten hours. Literally. I'd go to the library after work and read until I fell asleep about 1 am in the library. Wake up at 5 and read a couple of hours until the time to go to class at 8. Classes until noon. Go to work for about six hours. Start it all over again.

horns96, Did you get the link to my published essays on McCarthy? I'm kinda proud of that. I got stuff on Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Joseph Conrad, Heidegger, Strauss, and my own teacher Stanley Rosen. Easiest to understand is the McCarthy popular stuff. Lotta zingers in there. Had fun razzing the lefty nutjobs over McCarthy.

This isn't really a rant topic, but I think it's worth considering. Who is the greatest one on one player in NBA history? I'm a Kobe guy, but I think you gotta give this to Michael. I think Kobe is second. Couldn't stand Bird when he played, but truth is you can't deny he couldn't hardly be stopped one on one. I don't think any of the current players even make the top five. LeBron doesn't have the overall skill of those guys. His deal is the combination of power and speed, not one on one skill. I don't think there's any question that Kobe was the most fundamentally sound and skilled. He didn't have the athleticism and huge hands of Jordan.

This is what competition does. In this case the competition is economic. Think about a real estate analogy. When the prices increase in a particular market, it reduces the number of potential buyers.

Slow weeding out process. Networks are sifting through the haves and have nots to make a mini-NFL.

Got bama here

Has TT's dollar-aggressiveness spooked ISU?

Texas will stay in contact and hang around on kids they like that commit elsewhere.

SMU has a good class so far. Prioritizing the in state kids that are probably at least a tier below our top targets and will better serve as backup plans if we don’t hit some of the national recruitments we’re in. Good for them. We’ll see how it plays out with kids like Miles and Dotie if we don’t land our top guys.

I think he had gone back 2020. Not sure how far back he planned to go.

Iowa State should have been lobbying for collecting bargaining. That would have given them a chance. As it is, the SEC and Big Ten will choke them out. To a certain extent, we’re headed toward a sorting out back to the way things were in the ‘60s, when many of the mid- and low majors now in D-I basketball played in the NAIA. But the football change is what matters.
