I thought that was BS because I have seen the 247 guys in Austin the last two weekends covering the biggest events. Essentially I didn’t like that someone wanted to try and take a shot at 247 guys when you haven’t been putting in the work. It was ridiculous. Exactly, don't call out someone else if you haven't put in the work. Glad the best in the business are here at OTF putting in the work. Thanks for all that you do @Gerry Hamilton Once again nothing against the other folks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW doesn’t belong in the same sentence when mentioning “the greats” as far as recruiting goes. Dude seems to just plagiarize others work when it comes to recruiting and gives little to no inside info if it’s not an east Texas kid. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horns96 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Wells lost all credibility with the Corian Gipson recruitment. Was clear then that he wasn't working in good faith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Handler Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 6 hours ago, Gerry Hamilton said: That was just ridiculous. Even though I wasn't initially involved in that ... I just couldn't let someone try and take a shot (at the guys from 247) when he hasn't shown up in Austin the last two weekends to cover Texas huge official visit weekends. That was incredibly weak to do when you have no-showed in Austin the last two weekends, and the guys you tried to take a shot at were actually hustling on the biggest recruiting weekends of the cycle. Now, let's see who magically appears this weekend lol Scoreboard! Just look at YouTube channels followers. Everyone knows OTF are the GOATS of UT info... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkman_90 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I enjoyed the engagement and content over on IT (and being able to read other schools sites) but Eric is about as insufferable as one can be. Basically if you have attended a happy hour or have some minor connection to Lake Tahoe he’ll let you run threads into the ground and be a toxic asshole. If you haven’t, then he’ll ban you for posting gifs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk randoke Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) I left IT when Gerry and Bobby left. No regrets. Didn’t care for the community over there with idiots like utwiz thinking they’re quasi mods and I always thought the board was very cliquey. And their obsession with Ketch and OB is weird. Gerrys work speaks for itself and is enough for me. Edited June 18 by Drunk randoke 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookemrj13 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I vote with my wallet and my time and both are spent on THIS website and the information given by Bobby, Gerry, CJ, and Rob. Thanks guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTexas Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 There is a reason that I'm only a member here and at Horns247. I joined 247 maybe 2-3 weeks after Bobby/Gerry launched that site. I gave IT a shot several years ago and found that I had already gotten the information they were posting over on 247. Never been a member at OB and never will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a member of all three sites previously have enjoyed good work out of all. OTF is the best for my money I am still a member of all three. I joined at 247 because of Gerry and his basketball coverage. Loved Bobby’s football coverage. Both tried to run away from me to IT. I found them and then they ran away again and started this site. No place they can run to unless it’s retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoHorns1 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Didn’t renew my Horns247 last August because of Chip Brown ( repeats old news Morning Brew crap) and Taylor Estes (Queen of cut and paste news). What are the board’s options of the new hires at Horns247? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Gilbert Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I have been a member at OB since 2004 and will be leaving them when my yearlong subscription ends later this year. I was a member at IT for two seasons and cancelled that a while back. I found OB had an interesting collection of subscribers with some interesting points of view. The ‘off topic’ threads had some good moments but often became tiresome and too abundant. Far too many subscribers went out of their way to crap all over a thread by making silly or stupid comments. Threads with serious questions were all too often greeted with childish and stupid comments by what Imrhought would be adults but turned out to be overaged children. OTF has turned into a God send. I started following the YouTube page when it had about 5,000 subscribers and loved it. When Bobby split with the IT guys I stayed and was thrilled the morning I saw Gerry being reunited with the best UT recruiting site on YouTube. I joined the webpage less than 24 hours after it was launched and see great potential in it’s growth. I believe the website will continue to grow in size and scope and will someday become the best in the business. Thanks to all the staff at OTF and keep up the great work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
