Rudy's and Chuy's.


Eh, Chuy's isn't even really Chuy's anymore since the buyout.

But more to the OP, you say "Austin" but the location in "Austin" makes a really big difference when you're talking about going out to eat lunch in the middle of a conference.

If you're downtown, sure you can just walk to a bunch of places. Other locations just aren't that convenient.

But Glenn Guilbeau said Lane underperformed in the portal…..


Guilbeau knows that whoever had the #1 class after the second day of the portal window is the real winner in all of this.

It’s not how you end, but how you start that matters.
I have a Wahl that works just fine for me. I prefer the corded because I got tired of having to replace trimmers when the battery would no longer hold a charge.

Cars are cheap now? When did that happen?
3 years older than Tomlin was when he got hired as HC in Pittsburgh. 6 fewer years of coaching experience though.

In the age of the transfer portal, will a school miss out on a 5 star QB (especially) or RB if that school brings in a high level transfer who has multiple years of eligibility left?


Possibly.

I don't know what the future holds for high school recruiting. We'll see if Underwood finishes at Michigan. Arch Manning looks to be completing his career at UT.

If both of those guys finish where they started, then high school QB recruiting may not be dead.

As it is now, I don't see it being sustainable to pay an unproven 18 year old a boat load of money to come to your school for 1 season when you can pay a proven 20-21 year old.

Looking back to the 2023 recruiting class - only Arch Manning and LaNorris Sellers are still with their original team out of the top 10 QBs. Some of these guys (Leavitt, Malachi Nelson) are on their 3rd+ team.
Have to sign 3 QBs and you have to assume that 2 of the 3 we sign won’t be on the team come 2027 so we need to sign the 3 best we can.

10 years ago my wife and I went out of our way to drive the section from Shamrock, Tx to Albuquerque.

Few years back we made an intentional trip to stay the night at the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari, NM. Unfortunately a big hail storm had gone through the week or so before and a lot of their neon lights got broken.

Was still pretty cool to sit out in the evening in the courtyard and talk with all the other patrons about where they were headed/where they’d been.
How is this not tampering? Is declaring for the draft equal to entering the portal now?
quote:

am suggesting that Fernando is as good and maybe even a better qb than Burrow, based on his performance


So he wants to talk performance but not use stats? What is there to compare then? Poise and confidence on the field? Don’t see anyone beating Burrow there either.

including his character.


Burrow was cocky, but I don’t think there’s anything else that could be said as a negative towards his character.
quote:

It's a miss at this point for whatever reason that a major school with the brand that we have hasn't signed a QB.


2 of the supposed top 5 QBs in the portal at this moment are unsigned. And that top 5 includes a kid who followed his head coach to a new school and DJ Lagway who no one here wanted (who also transferred to the school where his father played and is close to home).

I don't know what LSU will end up with out of the portal. But the sky isn't falling quite yet.

Gotta have depth, too. Maybe some of these guys will never start a game, but if they can step on the field for a play or two when needed that may be good enough.

I don't want to live in a world where two teams from Indiana are playing for the college football championship. Thankfully, I don't have to. At least not this year.

If you truly think you have a championship team with the right QB, then you have no choice.


That’s assuming you think Leavitt is the right QB.

Maybe Kiffin doesn’t think that.

There is nothing to fix. The only reason things seem to be broken is because of the "amount of crying" that goes on during the portal. When Jan 16th gets here, all of this "cry baby bs" is over and then nobody gives a flying F anymore. I'll admit, NIL moneywise, needs some updates


So there’s nothing to fix, but there are some things to fix. People only care because they care. But it doesn’t matter because no one cares after it’s over.

Makes sense.

And yeah, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will mostly quiet down once the portal “window” closes. But if nothing gets changed , it will all start up again when the portal reopens.
