My apologies, I didn't read the first name properly. Just saw the last name and thought it was Nico. Well, if he was paid then there likely was a contract and you have to fulfil that obligation. Whoever is behind these two boys, is not doing them any favours.

Can I ask why? Didn't he end up at UCLA?

Not to pile on, but do we think special teams has collectively gotten worse since Coach Sark's first year? I remember they used to actively get after Punter's and try different looks, etc. Plus, our recruiting at the K and P spots hasn't seemed all that great. Is there an issue there that needs to be addressed or am I making too big of a deal on that? Regardless of my complaints, wish this young man all the best, despite his struggles last year, we can't forget all the good he did and that he was a good Longhorn. Hope he finds the right spots for himself and to the person who said get a haircut, I disagree, the fro looks great.

I disagree about Burke. He hasn't had a ton of playing time, having to wait behind guys. Now that he's in the drivers seat, I think we'll see him shine. Vasek has huge upside, but he just needs to get his body right.

I honestly think Burke, with more playing time, is about to shine. If Vasek can get his health right, he'll be a weapon. We also have Moore back and Umeozulu coming a long. Can't hurt to kick the tires on a guy like this though, very impressive young man.

That entire offense is going to be a massive question mark. A complete offensive redo, with completely new offensive players is not going to go as well as people think. Plus they lost a lot on D, too.

I think it would make everyone comfortable to have some on field experience in that room. I have no doubt the room is talented, but they have barely any snaps between all of them.

I agree with you here. We can't just shift all the agency to the players and not give the colleges a leg to stand on. If you want to be paid and treated like professionals, than that is what happens. Although I think the Murphy situation was weird, because he played really well there and I don't think he deserved that treatment from them. But that is unfortunately the reality of college sports now. They wanted to be paid, well there is pro's and con's to that.

See, this is part of the NIL stuff that I don't like. I'm all for players getting paid, but now it's starting to be more and more like the NFL. This is just stupid, imo.

She better hope she doesn't live in Texas or she might get arrested.

Sorry to bring this up, but what is the difference we're seeing so far between Coach Terry in the portal vs Coach Miller in the portal? Is it just the calibre of player? Bigger, more athletic players? I know a lot of people were unhappy with Coach Terry's portal acquisitions, so I'm just wondering how Coach Miller stacks up with that.

Flood got some tough choices to make when it comes to the OL. Seems like everyone showing up and putting in the work.

Oil and Gas guy, billionaire and former Texas Tech football player in the early 2000's. He's one of two that is throwing a ton of monetary support behind Tech.

Not just about the bag. At Tech, he is a superstar and will be on the field all the time. At Texas, he might not have even started, let alone been on the field all the time. Though Tech does seem to be throwing money at anything with substance in the portal. McGuire better figure it out this year, because he really has no excuses.

Fair call.
