Only thumbs down because although he could help the WR room, after TJ and AL and too many 2nd chances for Tavion creating all sorts of chaos, not sure if we really would want Bridges around.

Screw Hurley!

See, I think about it opposite – they keep most of the deals secret because they aren’t really as much as they say they are (or ignore that it’s taxed, etc.) to keep driving ‘prices’ up. More of a pride thing and to keep the market inflated.

Maybe boosters are paying these as NIL for little in return. I think they were paying (maybe not this…[Read more]

Great insights. That’s good to hear that we have depth enough to push the 1’s or have good rotations to keep players fresh (or overcome some injuries). Especially good that OL, TE, DL, and even secondary have that. Seems like we have enough S/CB starters with 1-2 that are practically the same level, but would be nice to have a little more depth in…[Read more]

I think there’s questions around both Pittman and Curry. Not sure the answer to either.

👍🏻

Wut?

Barnes. Johnson.

True. And no program, no player really wants to rock the NIL boat or say anything that ‘devalues’ them. I just think these ‘offers’ are potential but rarely realized and money in the athlete’s pocket. Or affiliate deals like the trucks where there is value, but they also have to pay taxes, etc. with their own cash (unless supplemented). I also…[Read more]

Whatcha talking about? Utah is the bestest and the most talentful and will wipe the Big 12 like a bidet. We will win by an average of 21 points because we have Cam and Ludwig and Whitt! 😉

Ok, ok. I think we will be competitive. I think for any conference champion, you have to have a mix of obviously 1st team talent, 2nd team depth, few injuries…[Read more]

As much as I wanted it to be PI, seems like he launches up to play the ball, then puts a hand on his shoulder, but doesn’t really keep Texas guy from elevating. But that’s just me. He got UP and swatted that away – not sure the receiver had the hops to get there on that fade. Wish it wasn’t a fade. Hate them, but it was the right WR for the play.

Time mgmt – Texas called timeouts and then UW had an injured player that stopped the clock at 0:50. Punt – 45s to go 69 yds. Big pass play, 30s to go 28. Eventually 15s to get 12 yds and TD. Crazy ending

No, I don’t think so. I think it’s mostly the ACC uncertainty and Whit’s opinion that we will be heading to super-conferences sooner rather than later. I think another time he said it could be 5 years, but as fast as a few years depending on how the dominoes fall with the ACC GOR and schools exiting (FSU lawsuit is followed by 6 other schools…[Read more]

Craig James can pass the white powder for the secret elixir

Well, that’s a hot take (‘he’s been ok’ – just #9 PFF ranked TE in the NFL as a rookie). But I get the sentiment, just think it’s a little too far. We have long emphasized 11 and 12 packages, but only more recently have passed to/featured TEs more (Ludwig). Fans usually only notice them when they are star receivers, but they play an important role…[Read more]

The school doesn’t negotiate the NIL deal. They connect them with folks like the Collective and they do know and understand what the offer may work out to be, but it’s more where agents and collectives/endorsers come in. I think that could also be quite fluid and maybe stuff like, ‘NIL up to …’ But then others could come in (someone wants a…[Read more]
