  1. Past hour
  2. From my understanding there is no space for Bevo in the renovated Kyle Field which is why he wasn’t there last year. 2011 and prior he was allowed.
  3. OTF, please explain how NIL and revenue sharing is supposed to work. It's Greek to me. Can a guy like Cody Campbell still reshape one team's fortunes?
  4. Arkansas is far from the worst in P4. Let’s be serious. Regarding recruiting footprint, the state of Arkansas produces a small handful of 4-star caliber players each year (5-6), which is modest but also far more than the states of Kansas, Iowa, or Nebraska…or Oregon. Further, the state Arkansas borders Mississippi, Louisiana, east Texas, and Memphis. That’s plenty of regional talent to tap into, even if Arkansas is the 4th or 5th choice of prospects in these areas. Arkansas is also part of the SEC, easily the marquee conference in college football, which itself is a premium recruiting factor relative to the other three P4 conferences. University of Arkansas is also located in a fast growing, relatively modern area of the south (Northwest Arkansas MSA is > 600,000 population), making it larger than places like East Lansing, Lexington, Lincoln, Lawrence, Eugene, Auburn, Oxford, Lubbock, Waco, etc). Arkansas also puts 70,000 fans in the stadium (on average) every Saturday, which is a lot more than every single Big 12 school, and more than all ACC schools (other than Clemson). Lastly, as mentioned in previous posts, there is no shortage of extremely wealthy donors in the Arkansas ecosystem (Walton heirs, JB Hunt, Tyson family, Stephens family, Jerry Jones, etc), which isn’t the case for many other P4 programs, including most of the lower half of the Big Ten who need a private equity payday loan just to pay their athletes the $20m revenue share. There’s no question that Arkansas is a very difficult job within the SEC, but not relative to other P4 programs per se. If Arkansas moved to the Big 12, they’d be a perennial top 3 program in the conference. Ditto if they moved to the ACC.
  5. Indiana, Vandy, GTech, BYU and Texas Tech all have something in common- good schedule luck. Cignetti’s a fine coach. He’s also had very good schedule luck. Texas Tech benefits from NIL, but also not playing Texas and OU every year anymore. Arkansas can get a great HC and invest more in NIL, but there’s nothing they can do about having one of the toughest SEC schedules for the next 4 years. With LSU Texas and Mizzou as their 3 permanent rivals, that’s arguably one of the toughest 3 permanent rivals in the SEC for a program trying to get off the mat.
  6. As I understand it Aggie will not be able to bring their doggy mascot to DKR tomorrow bc Bevo was denied to Kyle last year. 1) has Bevo ever been denied to Kyle in prior years? 2) wer ags forewarned last yr that Revielle would be banned this year?
  7. I think it’s Boston College. Just a terrible place to try to build a football team.
  8. I'm not buying into the Tech hype yet. They haven't played a decent schedule at all. BYU and Utah are overrated (the Big 12 and ACC suck this year). They also lost to ASU without QB1. It wouldn't surprise me to see a quick Tech playoff exit. The CFP rankings this season are suspect. There's no way ND, Utah, Michigan, and Miami should be as high as they are right now. Oregon and Ole Miss both belong ahead of Tech as well.
  9. Today
  10. Cal definitely. I went to a game there against USC when both teams were good and the stadium was half empty. Everybody in Berkeley is too busy humping trees to care about football.
  11. 41 - 24 Bevo at home while Reviled is forced to stay home. 🤘
  12. Nothing that $14 large/year can’t solve!
  13. They are by far not the worst….But the current situation at LSU is an absolute cluster…Fire BK…Owe him 53 million…But don’t pay him and say well you actually didn’t fire him and now you fire him for cause….But you don’t really have a for cause reason…Then the governor says the AD won’t hire the next coach…AD quits the job…Then you put the interim tag on the assistant AD who has never been in the position and a few days later take the interim tag off…News comes out they are offering Lane a couple Brinks trucks to save face…This could absolutely backfire and set their program back if the hire isn’t the right one!
  14. Cal(3,000 mile away games and somehow being in the ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE kill this program from medicore at best to forever bottom feeder) Purdue(Couldn’t win there without Drew Brees and now Indiana is good…) Stanford(see Cal) Oregon State(No Phil Knight and nobody will take the new PAC-12 seriously) Wake Forest(not good when your HC leaves to become a DC in the NFL)
  15. Happy thanksgiving !! Hook’em 🤘🏻
  16. Happy Thanksgiving to all the otf family. So thankful for all of you and the great banter, conversations and fun. Thai community is the best in the game, and it's not even close. @Bobby Burton thank you so much for being the maestro that started this and has put blood, sweat and time to make this place what it is! Special thank you to Jenny Burton - Queen of OTF!! @Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel @Jeff Howe Thank you guys for all that you do. We have the best content, honest and most accurate content out there. Yall dont put content out just for clicks but actually putting information out with integrity. @Matthew Hutcheson @Blake Munroe thank you guys for producing all the great shows, being engaged with everyone in the chats and helping make sure that OTF is somewhere we all enjoy coming to and spending time together. I really hope all of you at OTF, longhorn community and your families have an amazing day filled with love and joy! Hookem Horns!!!!
  17. Agree. But as Texas Tech has shown, it only takes one BMD who’s willing to go all-in and a program can turn around much quicker than in the past or as Indiana has shown, hit a homerun on your HC (and overall coaching staff) then step up and pay him big to stay if you want to contend. With the new CFP and likely expansion (16-24 teams), the opportunity is there for any of these programs. Look at Indiana, Vandy, Georgia Tech, Illinois, BYU, Texas Tech. Indiana and Texas Tech are legit contenders and both programs were in the ditch 4 yrs ago. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂
  18. What do you like about him? Seems like he's got good size and production at a place like Michigan State. Might have to go check out some of his tape.
  19. Gotta be Purdue I agree with Gerry
