Dudes brain needs to be studied because it takes a “special” one to choose to play with midteer over arch

Na Gerry is a Aggie and needs to be banned for life 😂🤣

I agree, that’s his narrative though and he managed to get his price at a BlowU and I hope it works out horribly for all Sooners involved.

While I'm not sure I'm at the level of the guys on the real staff, definitely appreciate the kind words @Chop and glad you're part of the community! 🫡

Georgia…but born in Pampa, TX. Moved to Duncanville at age 7 and graduated from there. Just retired and will be moving shortly.

The Colony, Tx...

East Bridgewater, Massachusetts

Bellville, Texas 💪

Why did I hear that in the South Dakota accent 🤣

Silicon Valley

I mentioned Texas being on the road today. They are expected to visit (or have already visited) Jayden Woods, the former Florida defensive end, who lives in Kansas City and former Michigan linemen Jake Guarena and Andrew Sprague.

Analyzing the Numbers: Does the Math Add Up? Recent years have seen a significant increase in the number of FBS players entering the transfer portal. In 2024, approximately 3,309 players entered, and by 2025, that figure rose to 4,187. Notably, about 30% of those athletes failed to secure a spot on another Division I roster, leaving more than 1,250 players without a team. This raises important questions: Are programs truly restocking their rosters, or just shuffling existing talent among themselves? Challenges of Restocking Through the Transfer Portal Much discussion centers on leveraging the transfer portal to 'restock' teams. However, assembling enough premium talent to genuinely compete for a championship is a complex task. Teams must also synchronize the arrival of such talent with the college progression timeline—freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. The variety of football schemes, individual program styles, and additional factors such as injuries, personal circumstances, coaching changes, and university budgets further complicate the process. When all these variables are considered, finding talent that truly fits is a daunting challenge, with countless possible outcomes. The Odds of Reaching and Succeeding in the NFL Out of an estimated 73,000 NCAA football players, only 250 to 300 are drafted each year, representing an annual yield of just 0.4%. Approximately 1.6% of NCAA athletes are drafted into the NFL, but if success is defined as playing multiple seasons or becoming a starter, only 1% of NFL players achieve this. The average NFL career lasts 3.3 years, and just 20% of players remain beyond their third season. Recruiting NFL-Caliber Talent: Risks and Realities Each season, the challenge is to attract as many "NFL potential" players as possible, but this comes with risk. Even if a team secures top talent, there is no guarantee of their availability when needed, due to health concerns. Up to 91% of college athletes suffer an injury during their careers, with overuse injuries accounting for nearly 30%. Furthermore, career-ending injuries affect 8–12% of players—an unsurprising statistic in such a high-contact sport. Competitive Disparity and the Impact on Team Success Given these realities, only a few programs can consistently compete for the most elite players. Teams lacking premium talent often struggle against top-tier opponents. The playoff appearances of JMU and Tulane highlight the importance of coaching, discipline, and culture, but ultimately, physical advantages like mass and velocity cannot be overcome by these factors alone. The Divide Between Programs: "Haves" and "Have Nots" The landscape is increasingly split between well-resourced programs and those without. Even major conferences such as the Big Ten, SEC, and ACC have several teams that fall short of the powerhouses. The group of "haves" is limited to about 20 schools with sufficient resources. Division II football is poised for a shift away from its traditional model. The transfer portal now resembles free agency in professional sports, offering valuable lessons in player movement and team building. Economic Sustainability: Is the Current Model Viable? College football’s economics need not be entirely linked to the NFL and its 32 franchises, but the current approach is unsustainable. The numbers simply do not support the idea that enough players are available to maintain championship-level competition across the board. The math, when it comes to recruiting and retaining the necessary talent, just doesn’t add up.

Venables needs all the help he can get since his offense has scored as many touchdowns as I have against Texas the last two years.

We are on the internet and even on a message board. The literal purpose of our presence here is to react instantly. Reactions can change as news develops.

if he did sign for the same amount as what we offered, which is what OTF is saying they are hearing at this point, then all these people whining that we let him and that he bleeds orange are just wrong. That's why the immediate jumping to conclusions about very small bits of news are getting extremely tiring. Point is, there are no key targets on our board that we have brought in that have signed elsewhere to this point. Its one thing to feel good or bad about the bits of info we do get, but tying them into a certain conclusion that something is definitely one way or the other is just unnecessary to this point. Why can't we just be somewhere in the middle until things are actually set in stone?

Wisconsin linebacker Christian Alliegro is expected to visit Ohio State today or tomorrow. Another high stakes battle for the Horns.

He needs to develop a 50 foot vertical to catch the passes sailing over his head.

Being that he was Arch's roommate, you know Venablabble will try to get all the secret nuggets out of him for the offense. There'll be a lot of... what would ya'll run if we played defense like this... what's the hot... what's the call... Sark is gonna have to really be in his bag. Parker wants to be part of the OU squad to break the streak and exact revenge upon us. It's gonna be a bloodbath... and I can't WAIT!!!!

Yes

Not sure how anyone, especially Livingstone, is characterizing being "pushed out" when we offered him $600k to stay.

Alliegro going to OSU for a visit can’t be great

They want to pick his brain on how to beat us and Sark’s offense, and he wants to give the finger 🖕to Texas for pushing him out. Short term win for him. Either way he has to live in Oklahoma.

Did not have a problem with Brennen Thompson when he transferred to OU. You get what you can get and he clearly wasn't getting opportunities here. But Livingstone lied about the circumstances of his departure, and accepted a similar role with OU. Just wanted a bigger bag than the outrageous money WE had already offered him. F him.

Did he sign with them?
