Whelp, I named my only male goat born last year Nico........... Looking like I have to change it........ Any suggestions?

Goat ribs are underrated.

 

[DD4ME]

How is there no definitive info yet? The Orange and White game is tomorrow for crying out loud

He's gone. Merk is him.

 

[Jackcrevol]

My guess is this. Dad's been busy.

Nico and Madden prob last to know. Shopping around, UCLA offers. First bubble up, gone.

Someone is getting fired for not televising the OW game. Would've been the most watched Spring game in history of UT sports lol

Dog leash if you have a Great Dane…this isn’t for you.midsize only

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I’ve been out of pocket lately. Anything exciting going on these days or have things been pretty quiet?

Is it not going to be on SEC plus?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Just watched a documentary on the 82 Brewers called "Just a bit outside"...it really just hit home to me the juxtaposition between that less mercenary sports world and this one.

It made me remember how much and why I grew up loving MLB...and why I don't now.

Word on the street is that Nico has walked. O & W game not televised.

 

[De La Cloobs]

I wonder what happened at the QB room meeting last night. What was said that made Nico a no show this morning?

Is this all his dad/handler?
Is writing on the wall that Merk is that good and truly challenging for that starting spot?
What happened?

Pretty quiet. Nicos going to be awesome for us next season tho

 

[Jpcisco]

My god, if Nico truly bolts for UCLA that would be such a catastrophic mistake by his people if his end goal is to be a high draft pick and make it into the league. They haven't been relevant for a decade +, and I dont see him elevating that program. Horrible business move. USC, Notre Dame, even Texas Tech would be solid options. If it's UCLA, I can't help but laugh.

 

[R0CKYT0P 16]

I work with a guy that lives in Texas and he sent me a text message today telling me he loved that we were not going to give in. He said they were talking about it on sports radio this afternoon in Dallas. He said they were laughing at Nico.

Are you sure it was the right Nico? Dallas has their own Nico to deal with. And that particular Nico is even better at destroying teams.

 

[Orange.]

College football is dead.

Realty hard to care.

Apathy, engaged.

And yet, here you are.

I do need some new rope to hang my bird feeders. Guess I know what I’ll be doing with mine.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If that douchebag does end up staying by some miracle...the fanbase is going to absolutely annihilate him the first time he sucks.

I don't see how he can stay at this point...this has to he one of the all-time dumbest moves. Now no matter where he goes, if...or when...he struggles at all that fanbase is going to destroy him because of all this.

Hope he splurged for the Coca Cola cake. That would guarantee a commitment.

Nail meet head. That is it, nothing else.

Have a team to prepare. A season to get ready for. Get bussyyy yup yup or

My thinking is they didnt reach a new money deal in December but were told about the plans in place for improving the program and decided they were content with it or maybe not. I would assume a family member or agent had been shopping around all this time and got a couple schools to bite and offer more money than UT. UT thinking they had things handled found out through another coach (Dan Lanning) and decided to get out in front of it. So they leak it to On3. Nico’s dad is pissed it leaks because he wanted to try to play victim. Think Nico doesn’t want to leave to be blunt, but his dad or whoever is in his ear and Nico caves and no shows practice feeling he has to side with his family.

Just my opinion on how things unfolded. UT simply wasn’t going to play this game and got ahead of it and in turn has the fanbase united. Nico and his side look bad, while everyone applauds UT for not caving in to ridiculous commands.
