Am I the only person who read the title and wondered why phone numbers in New Jersey were important?

I realize it is a different person. More a poke at what appears to be a pretty one sided all in agreement.

The guy must be working deals for players to Texas Tech these days. The NIL deals with guarantees and amounts are going to weigh heavy on the future budgets. And a commit is worth a warm bucket of spit until December 4.

Proven development from one of the best in college football and SEC exposure. Or go to Lubbock for more money and compete in the Big12.

More concerned about December than I am July. So, if we had hit on everyone, but they bailed prior to signing day, would you feel better?

Worst day of a multi year business career that involved lots of travel was being sick in a motel room. Glad you are better.

The controller on Tragers can differ my model. Some have a “Super Smoke” setting that provides more smoke. My unit does not. As an alternative, there are stainless tubes that you fill with chips for whatever flavor you want that you can set in the unit and it will provide a smoke flavor.

Traeger has done and is scheduled for a road show at Costco locations. Bought mine there and the pricing was a bit better. When we moved, I gave away my offset and about half a cord of pecan and oak. Could hardly get anyone to come take away the wood for free. My daughter got me a collapsible tub and the blanket bag from Drip EZ. Love the blanket bag for letting meat rest. Keeps the temps up.

Miller can coach and CDC has been aces on hiring, so I am not worried about that. In regards to the players, go back and look at the Elite Eight team a few years ago. No real superstars, just a very bought in team. I suspect that is the way Miller will put the team together.

Years ago BBQ Outfitters had a Green Egg Day, where they brought out new Green Eggs and had chefs in to grill up a specialty, everything from appetizers to desserts. Held the event at a restaurant I was bartending at for the day. Had chefs coming up to thee bar for drinks and they discovered I hadn't had time to get out and taste anything. They started to bring in samples of some of the best BBQ and grilled dishes I ever had.

City Market in Luling fan. In Dallas I went to Hard Eight and thought it was good. Took my Italian friends to Hard Eight, who always order sausage and introduced them to brisket. Game changer. They run a wine shop and we end up discussing wine pairings with BBQ.

How about starting field position with outcome? Or distance on touch down plays?

@Gerry Hamilton from what I am remembering, Texas would take five and possibly six OL this class. With two spots taken, who are your priorities as far as interior versus guards and numbers? What does the board look like? There seem to be a number of offers out for OL that have yet to commit. Thanks!

It appears this is just one more step on a journey with no real end in sight. Years of litigation and redefining college athletics in the making, across all sports to follow. I am all for players earning, but would have loved a well thought out solution presented by a governing body to where we are today. The changes are just beginning.

Thank you.

We discuss football recruiting here quite a bit and I started to wonder what are the differences between football versus basketball recruiting? Smaller staff for basketball, but also fewer offers as well. I never really hear about the basketball coaching staff on the road, though I am sure they are. I would think recruiting for basketball that the coaching staff has shifted from a winter focus of getting out to a recruit or prospects game to a Summer AAU tournament or shoe company sponsored event. Is this correct? Finally on the current situation at Texas, given the current roster and the lack of returning talent, it would seem the coaching situation needs to be resolved quickly. The transfer portal opens March 24 and closing April 25, a staff has to be in place quickly to beat take advantage of the talent acquisition from the portal. Thoughts?

Yes. Especially if they play like their first two games of the SEC tournament. Yes, they belong. By the thinnest of margins. No to the NIT if it comes to that.

At Texas, success does not mean continuation of employment when it comes to head coaches. CDC has dismissed coaches with winning records and bowl season success. And I agree with the previous poster, the season loses are not secondary all at once to a run in the SEC tournament. Win any number of late season games and Texas is not in the do or die situation they now face.

It’s probably just me, but I am willing to bet the staff and coaches have a plan with multiple options in place to address the running back position. Just let them do what they are very well payed to do.

I go back to the recruiting class for last year, when he lost two key recruits in the days leading up to NSD. That team had to quickly change direction and never quite recovered from what it could have been. That hurt possible portal recruiting and had an impact on this years team. I have supported RT throughout, but this years product was not up to standards.

I always thought the duo Robert Plant and Alison Krause was incredible. Just not two people I would have ever thought about putting together. A second melding of talent was the “We Are the World” recording. I saw a video of the evening of the recording and the talent in that room was incredible. There were a few duets in that recording that on the surface made no sense, but never underestimate the vision of Quincy Jones.

A few years ago while traveling Italy we had the opportunity to do wine tasting of better red wines. Changed my thinking. We don’t drink them everyday, but once a month or a special occasion. Wish I could afford everyday consumption, just can’t stroke that big of a check. in the Summer, I do a grapefruit vodka with Counitreau, mixed with Fresca. Fresca is the key. I call it a Beachbum. Dangerous.
