re: Texas blocks moving OSU game to Sunday night prime time

You’re already going on the road into a hostile environment.
Why would you make your odds worse? Makes no sense.

Thanks for adding to the conversation. Considering 90% of your posts are either anti-Texas or baseball related; I’m assuming your bias is Pate levels against the horns right now.

So you agree with me. Got it.

I don’t know that backstory. When I think of Burton, I think of his YouTube channel On Texas Football.
When you mentioned him, I thought you were talking about his commentary on On Texas Football. So it was sort of an obvious response. Sounds like there is more to it I don’t know.

The most unbiased reporter in the SEC for sure.

I agree, this is what pretty much all journalists who have major sponsors do.
If you look at Colin Cowherd, he talks up USC. Why? Well he was from LA at one point but it’s also the market he is trying to own. He knows he can’t own the SEC.
He would do the same for Texas if they were playing poorly.
For those who are disagreeing with me, I haven’t heard any argument as to why?
Finally, I don’t have a problem with it. I enjoy his coverage. It’s just an observation.

Well I didn’t listen to Pate really prior to Texas joining the SEC. However, that could actually back up what I am saying more. Why? Because the fan base had turned on Jimbo Fisher at that point. So they would be more receptive to a mix of negative sentiment.

The point is not about A&M…hence the title of the post is about Josh Pate.
The topic/question is if Josh Pate lets his sponsors motivate what he tells his audience.
I use this case with A&M as an example where I believe he does.

Josh is a big fan of the Aggies, Elko, A&M head coaching position, and just generally speaking thinks A&M will be a national champion in the next few years. All of his enthusiasm is of course based on zero evidence. He is also obviously a voice others in the national media listen to so when he speaks highly of a team, others listen.
Now he also does a lot of spots with TexAgs, which are co-sponsored with Academy. His main sponsor.
Academy is a huge retailer in Houston, which is obviously in Aggies backyard.
So what I see possible here, Josh is an Aggies sunshine pumper and doesn’t believe any of the shite he spews on the Aggies, but due to his relationship with Academy, all news must be positive and the outlook bright.

re: Do you contribute to NIL?
Posted by theyatoak on 4/30/25 at 3:31 pm
No one commenting on here donates to NIL. That would mean you have considerable financial success…and no one on here in the middle of a Wednesday has considerable financial success.
Well actually, it could just mean you’re a total moron. So I guess some of y’all could actually be donating.

re: Sark draft turnaround - 2 year draft total
Posted by theyatoak on 4/27/25 at 9:25 pm
Does it concern me Texas hasn’t reached a title game? No, not at all. It’s about consistency at this point and having top 10 finishes year over year.
Is it inevitable? No, of course not.

Who is a known OU QB pre Josh Huepel that an average college football fan should know rather than a OU die hard?

Oklahoma has always paid players hand over fist. I wonder how just about every one of their QBs you can name are transfers. They are the OG of pay to play in the portal.

Look at the teams Kirby inherited. He took over a team which had won 10 games in back to back years. He didn’t have to do a rebuild. Sark inherited a complete dumpster fire. So comparing their timelines is really different.

Took his team to two college playoffs, turned around the program, started three years with good numbers, was a good leader in the locker room and loves the longhorns in general.
No, I’d say he was worth every penny.

Deion must have called and said, fine…he’ll play for the browns.

I think Ewers at this point which is shocking. I was looking at the grin on that girls face reading the card and wasn’t sure what to make of it. I guess she thought it was funny he wasn’t getting drafted again.

Texas always had good recruiting classes under Charlie and Herman. Go back and look. The difference now is the development of the players we are bringing in.
Sark draft turnaround - 2 year draft total
Posted by theyatoak on 4/26/25 at 9:02 am
The most picks over a two year period, since the start of the 7 round draft is Georgia (2022-2023) with 25 picks. Sark is within striking distance to tie that. It’s not outside the realm of possibility.
Here are a few draft totals of Texas years not too long ago.
2022 - 0
2020 - 3
2019 - 2
2017 - 1
2016 - 1
