Congratulations gentlemen.

I still remember when I first was getting into the OTF YouTube videos & all of a sudden Gerry disappeared from the show. Then, Bobby disappeared from IT, And I was like well damn, I finally found something good and it’s gone just like that! Fast forward to today…. Thankful Coffee & Football & OTF is thriving & growing. 

Keep up the great work!

Congratulations OTF!

I've been an OTF YT subscriber from the beginning.

Great work, fun times for us viewers.

Y'all earned your 300,000+ subscribers by being the best product overall for Longhorns sports.

Thanks for your contributions, Marcus. I hope we didn’t get you mauled in your boxing class 🤣I was laughing so hard! 

Nah I survived yet again. And thank you for the kind words. I definitely try my best to keep up with the real professionals at OTF. 😆 Yall are crazy. I gave Stevie the rundown after and he and I had a good laugh. 

Ricky Brown even joined us this morning. Turning into a little boxing club of old Longhorn lettermen.  😀

A YouTube channel like On Texas Football with roughly 300,000 subscribers has an estimated monthly ad revenue potential of $1,000 to $4,500, but total income scaling via brand deals, sponsorships (such as regular integrations with PrizePicks and tech sponsors), and external community platforms can push total monthly revenue to $10,000–$30,000+ during peak college football seasons. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Estimated Ad Revenue (AdSense)

View Dependence: YouTube pays based on views and ad engagement rather than subscriber count alone. [1]

Sports Niche RPM: College and American football content typically yields an RPM (Revenue Per Mille) of $3 to $10 per 1,000 views, depending heavily on U.S. audience demographics and seasonal spikes. [1, 2]

Monthly Projections: Based on standard view metrics for a 300k-tier active sports commentary channel, baseline AdSense generally estimates out to roughly $500 to $2,000 per month during the slower summer periods, scaling higher during game-week surges.

Sponsorships & Brand Integrations

In-Video Sponsors: The channel frequently runs active promotional integrations (e.g., fantasy/sports gaming and AI sponsors) directly into their live streams and video breakdowns. [1]

Earning Potential: Dedicated commercial partners and live-stream read sponsors for a targeted, high-intent college sports audience can command anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000+ per month, often eclipsing raw YouTube ad revenue entirely. [1, 2]

Additional Monetization Avenues

Super Chats & Memberships: Live Q&A streams enable direct fan support via Super Chats and channel memberships.

Ecosystem Expansion: Operating alongside a broader independent multi-media website and paid community tiers allows creators to convert YouTube viewers into recurring subscription revenue off-platform. [1]

If you'd like to explore this further, let me know:

So, OTF makes money from three places:

YouTube ads

Sponsors (PrizePicks, tech companies, etc.)

Fans paying directly (Super Chats, memberships, website subs)

And the whole point of that long post was basically:

“YouTube ads don’t pay much. Sponsors and memberships pay way more.”

That’s it.? ....Glad to see Bobby and the mods making money instead of just moderating our meltdowns for free.

Thoughts on doing a giveaway again it’s been a long time since you have done one 

Maybe we can give Joe Z away if Daddy Gerry can handle it.  😂

Rumor was Bobby wanted Gerry to give away corn dogs, but that was a nonstarter for Gerry

@Blake Munroe Would it be possible to list the first 50 OG's that joined OTF?

[Jarveaux]

OTF absolutely the best !

[jdhdavis]

I remember 50,000. Just can’t recall when. 
I also lived through the brief period when Gerry was off the channel. When he returned I had a true feeling that the universe was right again.

How does OTF divvy up the super chats?

I've only been here for a year (maybe 2?), my good friend @General Grant helped me escape the doldrums of another site; best move that I have ever made.  I like to talk about Texas sports, and interact with others in a civil fashion about events relating to Texas sports.  This site allows and maintains this platform, and I am grateful for it.  Well done Bobby, et al.  P
