My thoughts exactly.   Jesus the school really does just recruit itself.  Top 5 class after that horrendous season…. And once there’s no longer a competing conference pitch, lol - no wonder they got s

Wonder what brought this on.........

------------------------------------

 

 

Speaking in Birmingham tonight, Nick Saban called out Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M for their NIL recruiting methods. 

 

The Alabama head coach said the Aggies bought every player on their team with NIL deals this past recruiting cycle.

I mean, he's not wrong.  And with the whole weird Aggie network situation there's never going to be a shortage of people willing to help pay for them.  I really don't like the direction the sport is going.  They need to put a cap on what a player can make or you're just going to have bidding wars for every player.

Jimbo IS right and Saban did come off as a whiny little b_____.   I saw Bryce Anderson’s dad talk about it on Facebook as being the perfect storm with LSU firing Coach O, Riley leaving Ou, and Texas having a dismal first year under Sark.  He’s not wrong.  But A&M also was better organized and ahead of the curve with the NIL stuff.  Don’t hate the player, Nick, hate the game.  And the same money that has made you fat and sassy all these years is finally getting spread among the players.  You whining about it is a bad look with future recruits.

Saban did the same whining and crying when Chip Kelly perfected the Uptempo Offense, what a coincidence years later Saban hires OCs who could run the same offensive scheme when and if need be.

Saban knows Bama can’t compete money wise with Texas or A&M.  With gas at $5 a gallon that money will only get bigger.

I agree

And Nick knows that, and if NIL doesn't get rules in place its only a matter of time before Texas boosters stop being so "uppity" thinking they can get anyone because they're "Texas" and start playing the game...If that happens a Texas vs Tx A&M championship is not a matter of if but when or a string of NCAA Championships all from Two schools lol in the same state

 

J/P Lol . . . . . . or am I

5-star LB from Denton, Anthony Hill Jr, has decommitted from TAMU.

Would be the second year in a row A&M held a commitment from the #1 LB in the nation and then lost him (LSU’s Harold Perkins being the other).  Reminds me of that Seinfeld scene re: taking a reservation vs holding a reservation…

Five years or so ago, before I retired, I was given a dps regular truck an told to go work in Bryan Texas for a week. That office was no where near as busy as my office in Houston, so I was working but also conversing.  I talked to some strong Tx A&M alumni.  I mentioned coach Kevin Sumlin just to seee the reaction.  Sumlin was in limbo then.  You could sense it was a matter of time before he would be gone. I felt that he, Charley Strong and the UT basketball coach got their jobs on the coattails of prez Obama. I don't have a picture posted but those that know me know I am African American. 

I am not trying to go political with this, just giving background.  The TX A&M alumni were all adamant they wanted Sumlin out and replaced by someone better. Sumlin went on to bomb at Arizona, but that's a whole nother Oprah Winfrey show.  Needless to say neither I nor the alums I talked to foresaw the fiasco in A&M football that happening right now.

It really is crazy how quickly things can go south.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
