So all the NIL packages offered by all the other schools were available to you to draw that conclusion? I'm impressed!

It seems to me that missing out on a recruit that is making it all about the NIL isn't much of a loss. Most likely, they'll be the first ones to transfer if they don't get an NIL raise down the road. What you want are the recruits that see the big picture...NFL caliber development, great education, life-long connections, incremental NIL opportunities in a thriving city and state, etc, in addition to a fair initial NIL package. Those are the guys that will stick around for 3-5 years while they develop and earn playing time. It's a tough balance to achieve, but Sark seems to be good at it so far.

Given those two options, Coach White made the right decision because of the Game 1 victory. He knew that if it went to Game 3 that his team would have a significant advantage with a rested Kavan and a worn out Canady. Had Texas lost the first game, the pitching rotation for a Game 2 would have been different.

It's clear to me that the tt BMDs are looking to seize leadership of the diminished Big12 now that Texas and ou are gone. Softball is probably the sport most likely to benefit from bringing in one elite player to pitch. Not a bad strategy unless they're expected to pitch three full games in three days against elite competition.

Thanks for the correction.

TK deserves an NIL raise after beating the $1MM pitcher twice in the finals.

Won the Natty on ou's home field. Priceless.

TK broke Cat's WCWS win record.

Fitting that the final out was a good play by the SS.

TK has decided if she wants outs she needs to throw Ks.

The yips under pressure are real.

Atwood's game winning hit off the attempted intentional walk is one of the most clutch heady gutsy (...) plays I've seen in decades of watching sports. Amazing and stunning. What a game!

Muscle memory is an amazing phenomenon. She literally didn't have the control to throw four intentional balls.

13 LOB vs 3. Tough to win with that stat.

Check out Pop's own words at the 4:10 mark. Tim Duncan was the amazing player and person responsible for the success of the Spurs. Pop was along for the ride as any number of good coaches would have been. https://youtu.be/xaooJTd9K00?feature=shared

Pop himself admits that his coaching success was because of Tim Duncan. Just compare his records with and without Tim and you'll see his point. Was he a good coach? Yes, but Timmy made him great for a good stretch. As far as his (unwise for business) propensity to interject partisan politics into sports, I'm with Phil: https://sports.yahoo.com/ex-nba-coach-phil-jackson-says-he-stopped-watching-basketball-when-players-wore-slogans-on-jerseys-during-covid-19-bubble-171459079.html

TIm Duncan made Pop a great coach. After Tim retired, he wasn't special. Also, I don't appreciate any sports figure inserting their personal political opinions into the game. That's one reason I enjoy sports...to get away from the political commentary...regardless of tribe.

Apparently a neck injury in last season's last preseason game that required surgery. Sad to see after all that work. Hope his transition out of playing goes well.

Being a backup QB in the NFL is a great job. Life changing money without the physical abuse of a starter.

QE's injury history is most likely the reason he's slipped this far.

I'm always impressed with how bright and well-spoken our players are. Sark obviously knows how to recruit for more than football skills.

I've been using a pellet smoker successfully for many years. For brisket, I use the Franklin method and for pork ribs, the 3-2-1 method is hard to beat. If you like extra bark, add a smoke tube and you'll be all set.

Thanks for adding to the Black's story. You being a local, I trust your understanding is likely more accurate than mine. My report came from a media story I read at the time which may not have been completely accurate...you know how sketchy reporting can be these days. Regardless, the general point appears to be consistent...Terry took the awesome reputation of the Black family name and business as his own to compete with his family without permission. The story I read goes back many years so I can understand if the fallout eventually resulted in a feud despite early efforts to avoid it. Because of Terry's unethical behavior toward his family I will no longer spend money at his restaurants...it's not like he'll miss me with long lines routinely out the door. On the other hand, I take every opportunity to stop in at the original smokehouse in Lockhart which is still outstanding and among my favorites in Central Texas.
