If that happens the NCAA needs to be so far up tu's ass. Seriously, what's going on that a coach that has never had a winning season in the Big 12 is all of a sudden pulling the top recruits?

I have a source that says to believe me.

Okay, what are you saying that I should believe?

Well that's gonna cost you 10.99 for a monthly subscription to my website. I call it SexAgs.

They have not pulled anyone in yet, their class sucks right now. Their best player is an OL we didn't even really want.

One of my sources says tu bag men are paying big money for recruits.

Another source says they aren't and the coaches are just out-recruiting Sumlin and the Ags.

Another source said tu will always be awful.

Another source said that is toats crazy to expect them to be down forever.

Another source said A&M is the best, highway 6 runs both ways, get a dog, team photo at the end of year, cause murricah.

Another source has mastered the art of posting the Charlton Heston gif.

All of my sources post on this board.

A non sip spin posted on old rivals that you sips probably don't want posted here.

Opinions are like sip trolls, they are everywhere and nobody cares to see them.

On Jan. 19's edition of Fox Sports' The Audible, analysts Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel discussed Texas' struggles in recruiting.
The duo pointed out that the Longhorns current recruiting class' ranks below Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma, Houston and Texas A&M. Feldman said Texas' opponents are out recruiting it because the Longhorns haven't been as successful on the field

Oops, posted below too. Sorry dude.

I'm going to believe Rivals more than 24/7 right now.

2016 class ranking:

Rivals - A&M #13
24/7 - A&M #16

Rivals - sips #45
24/7 - sips #33

Meh, networks want tu to be good. All those t-shirt fans bring good ratings. They are doing their best to promote the horns to recruits

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Basically tu has become one of those too big to fail brands in college football.

ESPN would be taking a bath on the LHN even if tu was great. The entire idea was a mistake. Just like we all would watch the aggie network if ESPN set one up, no one else that didn't give a damn would. Same for tu. Their brand and t shirt sales may be massive, but the Walmart fan base isn't watching the LHN all day and night, and never was going to. They just watch when the game is on, but wear the shirt all year

Which points to the original Deloss Dodds arrogance which prompted CU, NU, Mizzou, and A&M to consider conferences which promote networks that represent all of the conference members.

Where's your sliver now?

I agree, but Dodds and tu would be foolish to turn down that deal. ESPN's arrogance to think they could build an entire network around one university, no matter how much national prestige and brand awareness they have, was the huge misstep. tu is still getting paid and have their own network for their super fans who pay attention.

It's also helped when the ncaa ruled against certain programming like high school games, etc due to the obvious advantage that us built in.

Unless you were in a conference which respected all of it's members, like the SEC, or the Big 10...then it would be a non-issue and you wouldn't have to be "foolish enough to turn down the deal"....because Espn wouldn't approach you to begin with. Instead you have a tu sock puppet for Big 12 commish ... and one school which calls themselves the Jones'. That folks is how you piss off Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, and Mizzou. Bravo Mr Sliver.

Given the structure the big 12 had set up as far as tier 3 rights... No school in the entire country would turn down the deal ESPN offered the sips. That was my point.

Obviously it wouldn't work in a conference that had its own established network. But under the structure at the time, any other school would be begging for ESPN to create a network exclusively for them and also get laid handsomely for it

My approach to deciding what to believe on the recruiting front: Just wait until after NSD.


Or better, until the recruits graduate from college (or leave before graduation).

And you just made my point again.. unless that school was in a conference which structured it's tier 3 rights to benefit all members...thus the very reason for the exodus of schools from the big 12.

Again , bravo Mr. Sliver, Mr. Jones's. That's how you destroy a conference.

Last year, they got commits from all their top ranked 5 between 12/19 and LOI day. Plus they flipped Locksley, Newsome, and Locke all in the last week last year. Warren committed on LOI day.

UL fans say he was famous there for big LOI day flips to UL.

Sort of like the Fab 5 from Florida? Or is it Fab 1?

So many posters so worried about what the sips are doing all the time...

It was a stupid idea from the beginning. I said it would end up being exactly like that 24 hour local news netowkr San Antonio tried a while back. Eventually you run out of stuff to talk about.
