Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I don't buy that we aren't offering the same amount of money or that we can't make it financially competitive. I mean look at how much we've invested in the infrastructure and facilities over the years, and we're constantly at the top 10 or 15 when it comes to revenue, even in the down years. Those are all indicators to me that the money is there somewhere.

The general thought is that because we spend less on NIL than other teams, that it means we're offering less. Could it be that we aren't able to close the better prospects and have to settle for the weaker prospects with lower price tags, therefore appearing as if we spend less or are willing to spend less?

I could be completely wrong, but I just haven't seen much evidence to suggest that Heupel is a closer for quality talent and top tier guys other than maybe 1 or 2 guys a year and some of those guys seem to be more DL players who come because of Rodney Garner, and it feels like we're using NIL as an excuse. I dunno, just my 2 cents.
 

Stephen A said “he is the only option to replace McCarthy in Dallas”. What a clown. Him and mad dog or whatever his name is are the worst in the biz. I don’t understand why anyone would pay them to be on tv, heck I wouldn’t pay them to clean my toilets.
 
He was also high off his *** and reported to have contracted 13 different types of STDs before being caught.

I didn't even know that many existed 🤣

He's not snorting it out in that scene, he's blowing it up the 🍑.
Let’s just all hang out and go find out ourselves. Gotta find something to do til football season

K - been thinking about Regular Season & Playoff football games/schedules:
All teams - 10 regular season games + 2 byes = 12 weekends
(2025) Start regular season August 30 and end regular season November 15
Conference championships November 22
16 teams make Playoffs - no byes, no gimme conference champs - based on top 16 at end of regular season

1st round (all teams play - 8 games, neutral fields (”bowl games”) all December 6
2nd round (4 games, neutral fields (”bowl games”) all December 13
3rd round (2 games, neutral fields (“bowl games”) all December 20
Championship Game, neutral field (bowl game) January 3

Would be like March Madness, almost like two seasons. Regular season play for conference championship and being in top 16. Playoffs - play for national championship.

14 (or 15 if conference champ game) total games
I think Pros play 17 regular season games…do they have any byes in regular season?

Thoughts….GO!
The reality is that coaches would not have 3 or 4 weeks to prepare for their opponent and sloppy play may become commonplace. Upsets may happen and the TV gods would not be happy. After all--TV ratings pay all the bills. Just my humble thoughts
 
You blame it on the fans. Well where's the big money donors at?

Oregon has Phil Knight
Texas has the Oil Men
Hell Virginia got a tremendous amount of money from Serena Williams husband.

Fans can only give so much of their income and many can't, call out the big wheels before the average fan..

Not sure if it's been posted here, and for those who may not go into the player threads as much, sounds like Osenda fell in love with the program, and that a large part of his commitment was due to Elarbee's development and the relationship he'd created with Osenda.

Our keyboard coaches must be really pissed reading this
