    And they just keep reloading with talent every year. Coach said in an interview this is the deepest team he's ever had.

    Sorry to hear. I was laid off during Covid, after just getting married. It was a blow both to the ego and financially, but God has bigger plans,. Am now in a job at a place that takes care of me and I love what I do. Best of luck!

    Call me crazy but I can't fathom a seven figure payment for a softball player (in terms of ROI of revenue). Even if they win tbr championship, they wouldn't make that money back. Not to mention lockerroom situation with other players. Only softball player that would come close for me is Cat Osterman at Texas because she was so dominant and even that's questionable on ROI. Canady is good but she's not Cat O. good.

    Agree, but to my knowledge, none of the Texas names like Madi Skinner have been given a million dollar NIL at Texas. I would argue that Madi Skinner would deserve one before Canady at Texas given she's brought a championship and volleyball is extremely popular at Texas. They probably are closer to breaking even or making a profit vs softball. My guess anyway. If Canady joined the Longhorn softball team, they'd be serious contenders but nothing is guaranteed.

    Completely agree, and while aggy likes to complain about it, when Texas is winning, the amount of non-alumni fans (aka t-shirt fans as defined by aggy) grows significantly compared to many other schools. During my career, I've had many moments where I have met other Texas fans all around the world during travels on every continent (except Antartica, I haven't been there yet).

    From a business perspective, 1 mil for a softball player is pretty crazy considering softball is not a revenue generating program. The ROI on a softball player is nowhere near the ROI on a player in another sport (football being the obvious #1 imo). Texas has a number of female athletes that are arguably the brand name in their respective sport (Madisen Skinner for Volleyball).

    I forgot Tech does have a potent offense as well. This makes them very dangerous

    Kind of surprising to me, that's a short term move versus a long term move with a school like Texas, ou, or Florida. Academically, not even in the same ballpark as well.

    I'm just as frustrated as any other fan and I'm sure the coaches as well. I took a step back and did yard work this morning, now as I think about it, it's not like the coaches are losing recruits to everyone, they are in the thick of things vs everyone. Oregon is on a hot roll, how and why, we don't know for sure (though we can guess). Other schools have also lost on the same recruits to Oregon ... OSU, LSU, etc. Would Texas rather be #1 right now in recruiting? Sure, but like a previous poster said, the sky isn't falling. Similar to what Royal said, go win with the guys you have. When Texas lost out on Adrian Peterson, the sky didn't fall, they eventually won the national championship while Peterson watched at home.

    That's why I said "If she does indeed transfer"
  12. HookemTexas
    This makes me think that she's thinking about life after softball - which if she does indeed transfer would, Texas would be a top destination.

    So he's a boom or bust type pitcher sounds like.

    I think texags and their fanbase are mad at the wrong people, they should be looking inwards. They were so sure that Texas was not going to be able to get Schloss and were gloating so much about it that when CDC pulled it off it made them look clueless and dumb. They are embarrassed. What happens when little kids get embarrassed? They get mad and point the blame at others because they don't know how to process and rationalize like adults.

    Wasn't their D coordinator openly recruiting for his new school while still coaching there after they fired Jimbo, and they still kept him on payroll?
  16. HookemTexas
    Pretty sure it was ATM that leaked Texas too the SEC trying to win favor but it backfired on them.

    Would it be possible for us to get a different type of "Hi" for baseball? 😜 Or maybe a different one for each type of sport.
  18. HookemTexas
    Probably waiting for the animosity to dial down a bit lol.
  19. HookemTexas
    Which is why they cut some of Schloss' staff, to save money for that stupid buyout. Unlimited funds my arse.

    This is almost like signing day, I keep hitting refresh waiting to see something new posted.

    When is probably a matter of logistics and mitigating backlash. Let's assume it's Schloss - lord knows he'll want not only himself but his family as far away from college station as possible for potential safety reasons. Is the house packed and ready to go?
  23. HookemTexas
    This thread title made me think of this opening line ...
  24. HookemTexas
    Aggy as it pertains to LHN . . .

    SEC Filtered guy said he heard numbers like 10 years at 35 million. That's pretty crazy numbers if accurate.
