  1. According to the Urban Dictionary: "Can I go?" There is one other meaning listed but I'm pretty sure it's not what he meant 🙂 https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cigo
  2. Only one recruiting service has him as a 3 star ... who could that be? Shots fired!
  3. Smoke Bouie listed as a Georgia transfer but he didn't even make it thru spring ball before getting arrested and dropped from the program. Five DL listed with 5* ranking out of high school ... pretty incredible.
  4. Mitch Trubisky went # 2 overall and the Bears traded three picks to move up to get him. Mahomes went 10th overall in the same draft, so even the pros, with all their scouts and interviews and pre-draft testing, can't pick 'em a lot of the time. I think roughly half the QBs taken in the first round don't offered a 2nd contract.
  5. Little brothers taking it well, or at least as well as could be expected. This is one of the tamer posts "8 and 4 ever" (I guess until the bowl game) thread from TexAgs
  6. Pepper spray from cop just to right of center ... that will definitely break it up.
  7. I wanted to go Texas 27-25 with Randy Bond missing a 37 yard FG at the final gun, but it's hard to see how A&M scores 25 against our defense ...
  8. You don't know the difference between Arizona and Utah? WTF ... she's in northern Utah, closer to Idaho and Wyoming than Arizona.
  9. My understanding is that the 'settlement' will clarify the athlete-school monetary relationship (think of it as a minimum wage, benefiting mostly the vast majority of student-athletes in non-revenue sports with limited NIL opportunity) but that athletes will still be free to earn as much as they can outside that framework, ie, from NIL. Anyone hear differently, that this will shut the door on NIL deals for Dr. Pepper commercials or whatever?
  10. I was curious about how well KJ would do after losing Ryan Williams a year early so I checked his numbers on MaxPreps. They seem to be about 2 games behind based on the 10,446 passing yards stat given above, but you can see the trend. Some of the key stats are a little lower (QBR and completion %) but others are up (passing TD/game, TD/INT ratio, total yards/game). He didn't miss Williams all that much I guess.
  11. Not the answer. 1) As soon as the 'legal' cap is set to say $20M then the usual cheaters from the past will have an advantage every year they see fit to go to $22M or $24M or whatever is necessary. Schools that want to play by the rules (like, I hope, Texas) will once again be at a disadvantage. The bag men will return. 2) The courts won't allow it unless it's a result of a collective bargaining agreement between a union and an employer (like the NFL for example). Check how fast the NCAA folded when the State of Tennessee filed suit for the rights of student-athletes (cough cough) to make all the could make without NCAA interference. And if college athletes every did unionize - well, what could possibly go wrong with THAT, right? What is the answer? I dunno - free market; eventually it will reach an equilibrium; Golden Rule (those with the gold make the rules?). Obviously the rich will eat the poor (metaphorically speaking, in the transfer portal) but at least we're at a 'have' school.
  12. Now show her the Aggie cheer leaders ...
  13. Let's get greedy - 4) Notre Dame loses to Army 27-25
  14. This is Larry Ellison, billionaire founder of Oracle, and this is his yacht. What's a few mill in NIL between friends?
  15. This is just too funny ... two weeks ago Connor Stalions joined the coaching staff at Underwood's high school. Nothing to see here folks, move along ...
  16. Austin American-Statesman in an article by David Eckert - click bait? You be the judge
  17. So does Aeryn "Bubba" Hampton, though he wasn't done changing his mind February 14, 2022: Commitment Aeryn Hampton commits to Texas Longhorns November 29, 2022: Decommit Aeryn Hampton decommits from Texas Longhorns July 07, 2023: Commitment Aeryn Hampton commits to Texas Longhorns December 20, 2023: Commitment Aeryn Hampton commits to Alabama Crimson Tide [and signs and enrolls]
  18. So Sark is still big game fishing, I take it?
  19. A 'sip slip ?
  20. Yeah, after he wins his 2nd Heisman you gotta think he'll give the NFL a long hard look ...
  21. If our players start believing projections like this ...
  22. What I 'fear' (loosely speaking) is that they will pressure us with their front four and blitz LBs like Georgia did (though obviously with lesser talent). If our RBs can pick up the blitz and our OL can figure out the stunts we'll probably be OK but if Quinn panics and turns it over a couple of times, or if our OL gets jumpy or handsy and draws penalties and we keep giving A&M short fields either from turnovers or punts from deep in our own territory then they can beat us. I don't think they can beat us if they have to drive 70 yards to score, but if they keep getting the ball inside the 50 then sooner or later they'll scratch out some points. They have some studs on the DL and you know Tickle Me is going to send the pressure. How Quinn handles it could be the biggest key.
  23. Twenty one point favorite you say? The week before our epic showdown with A&M? Don't bite
  24. Not PFF, but his QBR ranking was 11th out of 12 qualifiers in the SEC last week - for the season he's 7th out of 15 https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr/_/group/8
