Yawn.
I don't even consider myself optimistic regarding this situation. Losing Hudson sucks, along with Noah, and puts a damper on our receiving room. It's part of the reason I'm still predicting 8-4 because we have concerns both there and all over the defense as of right now.JDCAG (NOT Colin) said:agchugger said:beerad always gonna beerad.

once again, this board is wrong.
Hudson doesn't have Reed's work ethic. That's pretty obvious reading the tea leaves. But no physical fight occurred from the best of what people can gather. (or Concepcion or anyone in our WR room's work ethic for that matter).
Funny you guys immediately start to talk about it's because of our passing game, because KC Concepcion got here and immediately thought damn, this Reed kid can pass. He straight up said the narrative he was fed was clearly wrong from his own eyes.
But nevermind that. It's all doom and gloom here. No WR will ever want to come here, and Hudson immediately saw our QB and passing game and left. Yep, that's totally the reason. You guys have it nailed again.
90% of this board is full tilt one way or the other. I'll take the ones that are optimistic over the ones that crap on every single thing that happens. We've been an 8-4 team forever, so things aren't all god. We've been an 8-4 team forever, so things also aren't all bad.
I post a TON, so of course I get things wrong. I also have plenty of things I have been right on, too. Meanwhile, some are just constantly negative no matter what. So yeah, they get some things right. They also get many wrong, and just ignore it when they do and strive for their next negative prediction to come true. No different than what you claim from me. But yes, as a fan, I'd rather have a positive outlook even while acknowledging the bad, rather than a negative outlook constantly. F*** me. What a crazy idea as a FAN.Aggie Dad 26 said:beerad12man said:

Funny thing... you're claiming everyone is always wrong yet you've been optimistically pumping sunshine to only look like a total fool since Day 1
Without even looking there's probably stuff posted by you on this same player that's probably fitting for this conversation
Realized that we threw on average less than 200 yards per game, and ran the ball on 60% of our snaps.Farmer_J said:LouisHerbertWong said:rootube said:
My guess is if you sat this kid down and asked him what's going on he probably couldn't explain it himself. So all of these stories that pretend to understand what's going on his head are pretty funny.
A Tech buddy of mine (insert joke here) said Hudson's not a very smart guy and that he couldn't grasp the offense. Of course, he's probably giddy now that Hudson's likely to remain in Lubbock.
Serious question, why would a 5* go to tech in this day of NIL? A big red flag.

Did he pull a Dickerson? We paid him and he took the money and went back to tech....lol

Do they not sign contracts? Not sure how NIL works but if they are not binding and they can up and leave whenever seems like we can cut bait with under performers too.
What do you mean derailed? We've identified 12 reasons he's a great fit, 8 reasons he'd be stupid to come here, 6 reasons why A&M sucks and is doomed to failure, and 5 reasons why we should just wait until next year.DTuba said:
So. . . . is Hudson gone for sure or is it still just conjecture and rumors? Thread got a little derailed there.

Nothing to these rumors.

Let me guess, the same people that said he was a huge upgrade will now say we didn't need him.
My question is who is responsible for checking these guys out? We've already dealt with head cases and guys who cause problems
Sure for the life of his contract but he was paid something to come here and that money is gone.wangus12 said:Kozmozag said:

Not likely. Even with NIL, there are definitely stipulations in getting the money
Have no clue I'm not privy to any special info. But can guarantee he has been paid a up front bonus from the collective that's non refundable. It would be great if we or anyone said you get paid 6 months from now and even if we tried it every other school going to start off with lump sum up front. No control no oversight.EliteZags said:

How would you enforce it?
that would not be prohibited in texas, but how does that play out?Quote:
Could the contract not be contingent on living in a certain area because being a local is definitely something that brings value to advertisers?
