    Yes!

    Completely agree. I literally just told them the same thing in a private text.

    I think that’s the only way to go. Lots of possibilities if you go that direction, like minimum two or three year contracts, etc.

    The vision is to be a place where folks can come together and talk Texas football and recruiting and get updates and analysis from Gerry, Rod, CJ, Blake, Coach Erwin, Coach Shipley and myself, etc., and do it in a welcoming pro-Longhorn environment. No agendas here other than the Longhorns. Will there eventually be a premium component? Most likely. But I want to put ads on the site first to see what that looks like. If we do a pay site, it won’t be as expensive as others. It would be more a nominal fee. But that is not what we’re working on next. Next comes another content idea that I think folks will really like. Hook’Em!

    I can do that for you guys. Just realize that all of the Livestreams are at exact times, the others are a little loose because it depends on when editing and uploading gets done.

    The latest on Sark’s travel itinerary and the departure of Billy Glasscock in this OTF video.

    They’re different. GM typically has more control and input on things like overall strategy.

    I do what I can. My speed back in those days was more REM than rap though. 😉
  10. Bobby Burton
    I don’t think Sark is going in that direction.

    No need to poke others here. Just enjoy that Gerry is back covering the Horns.

    First of all, I suspect two people to move up as a result: Brandon Harris and Jon Michael Jones. Second, Sark has been looking at restructuring some things on that end.
  13. Bobby Burton
    Exactly what I said. Texas has not had an official GM for football previously.

    Membership dues from universities, corporate sponsors and the biggest - and about 80% of all revenue - is the NCAA basketball tourney. That's why they care so much about basketball and the 300+ NCAA institutions.

    Not lateral IMO. GM is a bigger title and bigger $$$. It's essentially the Associate AD for Football.

    Texas Director of Player Personnel Billy Glasscock has reportedly accepted the General Manager's role at Ole Miss for Rebels' coach Lane Kiffin. Glassclock, a successsful former recruiting coordinator and player personnel head for both Minnesota and North Carolina State, was one of Steve Sarkisian's first hires in Austin. Glasscock helped oversee three consecutive top three recruiting classes for the Longhorns. I am told to expect to see some restructuring in the Texas personnel department as part of this move.

    That's big. Expect restructuring for the Horns in player personnel.

    I haven't heard of any at this time. I even looked at their punter and I don't think he'd be a candidate.
  21. Bobby Burton
    I think they just may be, at least as it relates to big-time college football. They are forcing the hands of the membership.

    NoDakHornsFan is like the guy who burns the wood if there's a new pope! 🙂

    1. If that center plays in the NFL, I worry about the team's QB. 2. Nice to see Sweat treating the A&M guard like a rented mule.
  24. Bobby Burton
    I'm so ready for this. Today should be special.

    The NCAA just picked a fight with the University of Tennessee over NIL. And Tennessee has volunteered for the rest of the country to fight back. The Vols' response? The school president wrote a scathing rebuttal on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the attorney generals of the states of Tennessee and Virginia joined together to sue the NCAA over its NIL policy. The funny thing here is, those attorney generals weren't defending the institutions. No, they were defending the rights of the individuals - the young players - in those states to be able to capitalize on NIL in any way they see fit. So the state of Tennessee didn't argue NIL for the University of Tennessee. They argued on behalf of the players/recruits. That may be an end around the NCAA just didn't see coming. Right now, the NCAA is embroiled in so much litigation. A tweet below details many of them. My take is this: The NCAA can't get out of its own way fast enough. While well meaning, the current governance was set up for a different era of college sports. Not a bad era, just not the multi-billion dollar one we have today. Today, the labor should be compensated more equitably. Therein lies the crux of the problem. The NCAA and many of its member institutions don't want to call athletes "labor" because that might jeopardize the schools' tax exempt status. I don't know the right answer. I don't even know if there is a right answer. The questions and problems are multifaceted. Someone needs to take the reins soon, or college sports is going to be a muddled mess of epic proportion in two years time.
