Longhorn Wealth

Bobby, This comment above and another earlier one that tapped into the void of the loss of Longhorn Network's old pre and post game content really hit the bullseye. He is referencing the old "Ricky", "VY", "Catch" and "Jammer (big hit)" awards they would give out for each game during the post game show, and you guys could pick that up and even add the "Special Teams" play of the game. Plus, while I know and appreciate the sensitive nature of critiquing individual players, it would be great to at least maybe highlight the difference-makers in the game - good and bad. You know Sark has spoken about how they have the team sessions, I think called "The Good, Bad and Ugly" on Sundays or Mondays where they don't rag on players, but point out the effort, technique and attention to detail plays when a player truly excelled at those, but also when a player badly missed one or more of those during the scope of the game. You know Sark's favorite saying to the players: “Who you are some of the time is who you are all of the time.” Accountability matters. Lastly, I think on your Sunday show or better yet, on the Monday morning Coffee and Football, it would be great to add a segment that would be a take off on the old Norm Hitzges spot here in Dallas radio of the "5 Plays that Shaped the Game" that typically focused on less heralded plays that really were game changers for Dallas Cowboy games. That would be a cool thing for the mods to have researched and "present" their cases of a couple each on Monday mornings. Oh, and if you think it would be well-received to have one of your great sponsors on to provide a pure fan comment/perspective now and then, I would be all for that!!! 🙂 Hook'em!

My bad, relied on a quick Google search. Probably user error. 🙂

I would certainly do my best, but historically it is very difficult to get young athletes who come into large $ to take a proper long term approach to managing the funds. Believe me, if I was given the opportunity to, I would do my best to help him and his family see the light, but when you often have family and "the entourage" with other ideas, it can be like talking to a wall. Thus, why so many athletes wind up broke.

Tough to lose out on a great kid from a great family of a great legacy, but you cannot go wrong deciding between Notre Dame and Texas. Good luck to Kaydon!!

What a refreshing difference in an announcement from the clown show put on by Ojo. Thank God we got the right one!!! Welcome and Hook'em John Turntine!!!

$5 Million MINUS his agent's 10 to 20% = $4.-4.5 million. Less taxes for a single filer of 37% = $2.5 to $2.8 million. You really thnk he is going to be INVESTING all of that??? GMAB. Odds of his being a high draft pick out of TT vs UT is SIGNIFICANT (last first round pick out of Tech was Crabtree in 2009; last 2nd round pick was RB in 2020). Likely he could have gotten at least a $1.0 million per year from UT with much greater likelihood of being a Round 1 or 2 draft pick. He will regret this decision. Not betting on himself. Hope it work out well for them.

Sad that kids are being counseled to chase the short-term $ vs the long-term $, and being willing to chase the $ into a shithole environment vs a spectacular environment for their future development, both on and off the field. 40 year decision, not 4 year.

Thanks, Bobby! Candidly, sometimes am I at least a full day behind on getting to the Board or to YouTube, so just being able to jump to the Board on days of known commit announcements and getting the quick scoop would be greatly appreciated.

As an avid fan and a sponsor, this is an honest question and slight gripe: why should my source - you guys - go radio silent when we don't get a recruit? Why not have a simple post thread created to announce the result, and then update the thread title to "BOOM" or "MISS"? As a busy business owner, I don't have the time to go hunting through pages of jawboning to try to find out the result during my day. For instance, today with Guervil, I finally slogged through tonight since when I quickly checked the threads earlier today I saw nothing, so I had no idea if he had postponed or picked another school, as I figured if he had picked us you would have at least had a BOOM type post. So tonight I first discovered in a thread that the Noon commitment time had been pushed back to 4:00pm. Then I had to go search for 4 hours laters in pages of the thread to find the answer. Seems like an easy solution is to just have Gerry or CJ create the "Guervil Commitment Decision" post thread with the scheduled time of announcement in the title. Then he simply updates it if the time gets pushed back by hours or days, and then eventually just updates it with the decision. Those who want to dive into the thread to cuss and discuss it during the day can have at it, but for those who just wanted to know what happened, it would be of great service. Seems easy enough. EXAMPLE Original Thread Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST Updated Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST - PUSHED BACK to 4:00pm CST Final Title: Guervil Commitment Announcement today 7/2 at Noon CST - PUSHED BACK to 4:00pm CST - MISS 😞 Just trying to help make it even better! Hook'em!

Family. 🙂 Niece getting married. She did not attend UT, not did her fiance. I know my niece is not into football, and I don't think her fiance is too much either. Again, at least we will get to watch the entire game undisturbed well before the wedding!

I am happy with the Noon EST kickoff, as I will be at a wedding weekend in Denver. Wedding is 4:30pm that Saturday, but with CO time, we will be watching the kickoff on TV at 10:00am, so no conflict at all with the wedding. AWESOME for us!! Hook'em!!!

Kid looks tall for an RB.. What is his height?

Last year MIss St made the Big Dance with an 8-10 record in SEC play, but they were 21-14 overall. If Texas only gets to 8-10 n SEC, then that means their overall record would only be 19-12. If they go 7-11, they will be 18-13. Hopefully the strength of schedule gets them in, but last year LSU was 17-16 overall and 9-9 in SEC and got left out. Ole Miss was 7-11 in SEC and 20-12 and got left out. Gonna be close for Texas, unless they also make a splash in the SEC tourney.

Will miss Ohio State for a family wedding. Going to FL - The Swamp. Nuff said. Going to GA - Athens is a college football bucket-lister. Going to KY - Bourbon Trail and The Ark.

No issue at all with him choosing to go to the "other" UT for a Junior Day. However, it could be a big issue if he was not being truthful with the Texas coaches regarding why he was not coming to Austin. It would be nice to know if Gerry's reporting was NOT coming from our coaches but rather from the kid or a source close to the kid. I look forward to Gerry clarifying this for us, as it is not a big deal if he told Gerry a "story" about family plans, vs if he was actually not straight with our coaches, as that would be a negative sign.
