re: Is this real?

Look at the head on that thing.
I forget a lot more than I used to but, aren't the tariffs on a 90 day pause with just 10% only applied to everyone but China? China only getting the full tariff (142% ?) applied?
How could full tarrif revenue be collected if on pause?

We are definitely getting a kind of player we weren’t getting for years. Part Sark, part NIL. Big part too is it’s just true the SEC draws better caliber players.

Very much this,
Yes, Texas had more than a few 4 and 5 star players prior to Sark. The difference is the players Texas was signing were not as hotly pursued by the Bama's and Georgia's of college football. These players were the type of players that had more interest in what activities the city of Austin had to provide, than developing as a player. They'd fiddle frick around the first couple of years, playing more at the night life and games, than football. Towards the end of their careers and draft day approaching they'd start some effort, but by then, it's just too late.
In short, undisciplined lazy knuckleheads, but talented.
If this is a trade deal announcement, Rand Paul and his crew are going to really look like the schmucks they are.
Is that it? Is this all they have?
I'm wondering for who's ears this simpleton statement was directed?

We will always be the little brother school. The SEC loves having us around to take our money and pad their records. UT doesn't give half of a shjt about us except to laugh at us.
More than just a few speak easys were hit during prohibition. Cost of doing business.
All that cash in there at one time. Probably some cash laundering in some capacity.
Be a great place for a stick up if you can command the manpower and not get blasted yourself in the process.
Maybe easier and safer to set up a few horny guys carrying a healthy roll and drug them with a hottie.
Hey ColoradoElkHerd,
Go get me your daddy's belt. :spank:
Texas is due for a loss to lower some of the pressure to win if nothing else.
Aggy can swing their bat, that's for sure.

It's 100% due to the ka-jillions of dollars texsa spent out-bidding everybody on the recruiting trail and tampering in the portal. Cash and Lambos!

You say this like it's something bad! Cash and Lambos is going to be the hammer to crush OU and others. Now that the buying is out in the open, watch what happens. :dude:
Texas also getting plenty of interest from Arizona and California players wanting to play in SEC.
quote:

That will be when limits are placed.

I doubt it. Hasn't t SCOTUS already addressed this issue with original NIL decision? Players and people own their NIL and can pedal it without limitation, capiche?
quote:

As more high profile kids who have received millions fail to pan out will the money start to dry up?

I think NIL may dwindle for some schools, but not disappear. These schools/teams will have to bargain shop players. Some schools have a large and diverse alumni that will continue to keep their NIL elevated. This will support additional sought after players that lesser NIL teams might not get, offense linemen or immediate need player from portal as examples.
For every Ewers, a counter naming of players can also be made. Texas for example could counter with Antonio Hill, Colin Simmons, and Ryan Wingo. These three are top shelf players and will be 1st or 2nd round picks most likely. Some players will have lesser NIL but still achieve highly, wr Golden as example.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the NIL will be there if the coaches can evaluate and develop the players. It's mostly on coaches, not the players to be good managers of NIL. A coaching staff that star chases recruits without properly evaluating will be doomed.

Bigger NIL bust? Shaduer Sanders.
Who was the rich kid poster that had rocks AND sticks as a child chasing his little brother? Big brother had dog shite on the stick chasing little. That's what is going on right now at the Dish. Texas has shite on a stick and chasing aggy around teasing aggy around with the wipe. :nana: :nana: :rotflmao:
aggy Kash out for tomorrows game, ejected. :rotflmao:

edit, Mess with the bull, get the horns. Gotta love the home cooking.
nothing wrong with the throw, stupid attempt to catch.
This Longhorn team is putting out a vibe that they can win no matter the circumstance. There are teams with more talent, but this team is playing with a "next man up" attitude and all together like a true team, not just mercenaries.
OTOH, Pitching can win Championships, and Texas has some pitching.

It's a long season, and I'm an old from SWC days. I've humbly learned this year that the SEC is a pressure packed season and a "grind". in all sports. What I also have learned is this "grind" is not insurmountable for Texas. No step for a stepper.

Historically and statistically, Texas has about a 50% chance of being in the College World Series. CWS first year was 1948, 77 CWS events. Texas has been there 38 times. Not a bad 50/50 bet that Texas will be there. :dude:
