Thanks to Coach White for his time this morning and good luck to his Horns against Clemson! Shout out to Bob's Chop House as well. If you're keeping score: Mike White - Bob's Chop House Bob Bowman - Whataburger Vic Schaefer - Capitol Grille

Great post!

Only two Horns: No. 67 - Maraad Watson No. 90 - Jack Endries

Hmmm. Seems like that list doesn’t really give much credit to the Texas eval staff IMO.

Lacey is not QB2 at this point. Owens is. Beyond that, there are nuances to everything. Owens had better scrimmages than practices overall but he remains QB2.

We’ve had Ross on the show before. He is reporting conferences are closer to going to 16 teams with 4 AQs for SEC and B10 with play-in games. https://x.com/rossdellenger/status/1920620823779348789?s=46&t=ISjkoHkBIkXYXFbgvlDUoA

Niblett seems too small for kick returns but I'm not sure there's a better option.

Nice comparison IMO.

Yahoo Sports posted a great article on why pro scouts are so excited about Arch Manning. Definitely worth your time IMO. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/arch-manning-has-blue-blood-pedigree-now-he-just-needs-more-snaps-to-become-a-blue-chip-nfl-draft-prospect-220844820.html

He just replaced A&M with South Carolina for June 20. My take on the offer is pretty simple. He’s damn good and Texas is going to recruit the best in the country. Penn State has also offered and is trying to get him to visit.

While elements of what you say are true, I think it's more about who the people are. For example, Bob Kraft got plenty of grief over his involvement in these types of places, although he apparently did so with consent. He was on the news over it for months. DeShaun Watson did it without consent sometimes, allegedly. Those two are/were the faces of a franchise. They have a much higher profile than Tucker. After all, Tucker is a kicker. If Tom Brady did it, what do you think the media would do? There's also the idea that Kraft was the first owner and Watson was the first player to have to bear such allegations. So the "newness" aspect drove some of the media narrative IMO. It's similar to the first time someone like Ray Rice did what he did during the Me Too movement. As for the punishment phase, Tucker was just waived by his team after they looked deeper into the allegations apparently. What else could a team do? My point is: I think there are certainly some elements of race as an issue in America that are valid. And part of what you wrote above is true. But it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison like you make it out to be. Again, America is not perfect. I'm just not so sure this is a shining direct example of what you speak.

Love this!

Hearing the trip to New Orleans for Arch and some of the receivers might be cancelled. New Orleans just had three inches of rain and it’s not looking better the rest of this week.

No political comments please.

Interesting rebuttal from plaintiff’s attorneys as it relates to the possibility of an “Executive Order”. https://www.hbsslaw.com/press/ncaa-student-athlete-name-image-and-likeness/hagens-berman-law-firm-behind-massive-ncaa-nil-litigation-says-talk-of-executive-order-and-sabans-interfering-are-unmerited

Sometimes, it’s just nice to read or hear about things, about someone truly taking advantage of their opportunities. This is the case below…

It’s well, well over $20mm. Period. That’s not debatable. Someone may be feeding him a line of bs.

That’s why they might go the way of Northern Iowa. It feels like they’re asking the state of Iowa to fund the NIL instead of the university.

Notre Dame.

He talks about $20mm being too much and the possibility of Iowa State becoming Northern Iowa. Somewhat fascinating to me. https://x.com/genetics56/status/1918764080170684448?s=46&t=ISjkoHkBIkXYXFbgvlDUoA

Rick Vavro is down there today and sent these pics. Looks like a Chamber of Commerce weekend.

I may have started it, but everybody here is what makes this place great IMO. I mean that, not only for CJ, Gerry, Jeff, Blake, etc., but also the folks who post who are both knowledgeable and civil.
