It's the cumulative impact of both. No limit on, or regulation of, financial incentive, and no consequences for transfer.

It's early days, so it's the wild west. Public policy takes time to catch up to industry changes... but something has to give.

We'll get another shot in the transfer portal. Don't worry.
Opening next season with our 7th straight loss is going to be difficult to stomach.

Recruits and kids love this shite

I think they love winning more, tbh. But I guess when there isn't much hope, what do we have to lose.

prob win out

We got our arse whipped by a VERY bad UF team. We will "probably" lose at least to Vandy, and possibly to OU.

Honestly, best case for the future of the program is losing out. There's no way Woody can keep BK in place with a 6-game losing streak... right?

Pro scouts are wrong all the time, pal.

We don't round up anymore? Give the kids their 15%.

Just about what I expected.

This is the answer.

Expected more big plays

But this is an interesting take. We talking "explosive" plays, or important plays during pivotal situations? By either metric, he has been pretty impressive, though.

It is no longer standing. They tore it down right before COVID to make room for condos.

Tragedy. I met my wife in that bar.

Anyone have a recommendation for a place recommendation?

Skip campus. The folks are friendly, but it's so damn spread out that the scene is disjointed (and you'll quickly waste all day walking around if you're not careful).

Dixie Chicken is right outside of the TAMU campus. Good spot, but it's small. So, get there early.

Man, I miss Baseball Tavern. Used to get rowdy on Saturdays in that place.
Whit Lightning is the obvious answer...

But it's not offensive. It's not that deep. The only people saying it is a problem are insufferable bores.

That's not how it works, bud.

Wagering is in a larger context and not about a single game

When it comes to early lines, that's somewhat true. But once odds are set, they only move based on new information about that game (new injury, bet volume, etc.). None of that is a trick or a secret to anyone.
Down to LSU +1 on DraftKings. Gotta think we'll be favored come Saturday.

what other equations factor into the Havoc Rate

HR includes factors like TFL, interceptions, forced fumbles, sacks, pass breakups, etc.

Honestly, he'll grade as a high 2nd rounder after the combine. Probably his best bet to get money now.
I can't wait for the faux uproar after an announcer says it for the first time in a broadcast. :lol:
