That's unfortunate but as previously noted, this WR room could carry over 100% next year. It's an elite room as it stands.

It's always better to get a 5* than not, but if we can 'bank' some NLI money to put it into the OL or DL, we may be better served.

Side note: **** I hate having to view college football through effectively a salary cap lens...

The blue bloods print their own money don't gotta worry about a salary cap

Have not seen nor heard anyone saying this

This is from insidetexas.com from an hour ago.

Recruiting Prediction Machine: 88.9 percent in favor of Missouri

RPM Picks in favor of Texas: None

Me thinks Sondevil is full of shit.

Source it

Link?

No link. It’s what I was told by people connected to Texas. It could all be smoke and trying to build up excitement for the ceremony.

I heard it on the radio, so he isn't full of shit. But it didn't say he was committing only that Texas moved to the favorite

After a little investigation, all I can find is brief statement made by a 247 Longhorns 'insider' that said he's not changing his prediction to Mizzou "out of respect to Ryan and his family" (whatever the hell that means) but if that weren't the case they would've flipped predictions back to Texas.

I think this is a guy hedging his bets... but we'll see. If there's another catalyst for this information, it's nothing that 5 minutes of searching is finding lol

And that's why trying to chase and predict the whims of 17 year olds is a silly time. Only matters on signing day.

Texas made a visit last night.

DeArmond and co. aren't convinced it moved the needle to Texas. Missouri sources less confident but not feeling like it's a done deal in the slightest.

I think it's the typical "blue blood vs. non-blue blood" thing.

What time is he doing this?

Right now…announcing in like 5 mins.

Texas.

It’s Texas…..fuuuuuuuck…..

{shrug}

Onward and upward. Drink will get weapons in here.

Would've rather had him than not, but those ****ing Wingo's are better at rat-****ing us than not. Never truly got my hopes up.

Wonder what shady uncle in the hood got some McDonalds bag.

Wingo said it’s been Texas for 2 months….so has he been coming to games to try and get other guys to flip?

Yeah this guy is dead to me…

Only parallel I can think of is if Kareem Rush had transferred to Illinois.

The Wingos are a line of rat bastards.

To get more $$$ from Texas. The Mizzou staff and players thought he was 100% going to Mizzou. He was telling them over the weekend he was coming. The amount he got from Texas was evidently massive.

I showed them this thread

That's where I am. When my son told me he went to Texas, it barely registered. I oddly didn't care that much. He could be a great player and it won't worry me too much. We (currently) have a TON of WR depth and that will likely continue. Honestly, if missing on Wingo means some of our other talent DOESN'T transfer, that's a good thing as well.

Of course, though, I'd still like McClellan. But, I wouldn't be upset in the least if Drink and Co. moved on completely from the Wingo clan.

Yeah, he was clearly being a weasel with everyone involved with this staff and team. We will be fine without him. I don't want some dude that lies through his teeth coming in here. Plus his family are rats. He is good though.

LMAO

Weasel and the rats

Get me another quality TE and I'll be pretty happy.

It’s a big recruiting loss fortunately we have weapons. But it’s a loss make no mistake.

The Wingos have not been good to Mizzou. Hopefully he flops. I’m petty about it and don’t care.

Petro and Blair were talking about Mizzou yesterday and Petro brought up Michigan St. and wondered out loud if they’d throw a stupid amount of money at Drinkwitz, it’s an interesting thought and conversation.

They also brought up North Carolina, which is the one I’m keeping an eye on esp. if Mack retires after the season.

Leaving Mizzou for Michigan State doesn't seem like a move worth making if the money is close.

And if we have boosters lining up to throw money at Wingo, I can't imagine we'll lose a successful head coach over finances.

This is where being in the SEC is awfully nice - the exposure and prestige that comes with the conference, I would think, would break ties in keeping quality people.

I agree….I just thought it was an interesting thought. I would touch the MSU job with a 300 ft. pole lol.

I do think it becomes intriguing if UNC opens up…

Drink would struggle in the B1G

Mizzou is swimming in donor money right now from what I'm hearing, you can see it in NIL but enthusiasm is high. I don't see Drink leaving unless it's another job in the SEC. He was an assistant at Auburn so maybe there's an SEC job where he might go, but Mizzou is going to make it hard to leave with their money.

Maybe he's secretly a sexual predator and wants to get in on the action there in East Lansing.

I strayed from my policy of not watching hat trick announcements and that was a mistake.

Good policy. They're so cringey.

Honestly making a 3 ring circus out of announcing where you are heading to playing your college ball seems like a "look at me...look at me" scene meant to feed egos

I don’t give teenagers the attention they crave

Georgia opened as a 20.5 point favorite. I expected them to be heavily favored, but not by 3 touchdowns. I have no expectations of a win, but I do expect it to be much closer than that.

Zero respect for Drink...

Yikes. That's pretty gross.

Georgia just pushing Florida around yesterday didn't help my confidence any. I mean they just manhandled those guys.

I may make a small bet for Mizzou to win the game outright. What are the odds on that?

ROFL

Georgia needs to move to the NFL.

Florida isn't all that much those year....too up and down. I am not surprised that they got trucked by Georgia.

Oklahoma is way too high, got whopped by KU last weekend

If Mizzou wins, then they should catapult to top 7-8. If they win, then they have an actual shot at making the college playoffs.

Exciting shit!

Imagine if they hadn't shit their pants at home against LSU?? Still think that game didn't matter?

5 1/2 to 1 give or take just a bit depending on the site you use

The line is down to 15 1/2 now on mine though

If they win it would put them on course for the SEC championship game. I think the playoffs are still only 4 teams this year so they'd have to win THAT as well; the SEC isn't getting two teams in this year, IMO.

But again, it's what we were saying about the LSU a few weeks ago - nothing truly changed based on that game. Everything is still on the table.

Is it even a little realistic? No - but we're in November and still control our own destiny. That's pretty damn exciting.

No, that game didn't matter.

They're not getting into the top 4 without beating UGA, even if they beat LSU. And if they beat UGA, they're in the drivers seat for the SEC title game even AFTER losing to LSU.

The only way it would matter is if they beat UGA and then lose to Tennessee or something (definitely a possibility). And yeah, that would suck royal ass.

But I'll worry about all that in the extremely unlikely event that we beat Georgia.

The game mattered in the sense that in the likelihood that they lose to Georgia, winning out as a one loss SEC team puts them in a better bowl game with more visibility. I don't have any illusions of them beating Georgia or winning the conference title.

The 2007 and 2013 teams lost out on BCS bowls because of those regular season losses. Had they simply lost the CCG in both years, they wouldn't get the title shot, but they would have played in the Orange and Sugar Bowl respectively. When a program hasn't done that since the first year of Nixon, that's a big accomplishment.

They still have a legitimate chance to win 10 games this year. That's pretty impressive.

Exactly. I don't think anyone is counting on beating Georgia on the road for any scenerio or even holding that against them if they lose.

But they did get absolutely rat ****ed out of making 1 Fruit Bowl...

Kirby Smart sold his soul for a Dynasty. Sucks.

I'll say this - I thought Clemson was going to be a problem for the next 20 years. And then they became pretty much irrelevant again.

Dynasties are weird. Just as Clemson seemed to be pulling out of view, they blew a tire and crashed into the barriers...

That's pretty bizarre too. Dabo just seemed to lose it somewhere in there. He's the one common denominator to that whole train wreck.

Clemson's downfall is Dabo's own doing. Being reluctant to utilize the transfer portal and be heavily involved with NIL is practically shooting yourself in the feet.

Correct. Let's stay grounded here and really the goal for 2023 was to see the program actually get better and show some stability. I think outside of a total collapse, we can confidentiality say check and check.

Everything else is a bonus at this point.

Anxious and excited for tomorrow to get here….

I know NO ONE thinks we should even show up in Athens but I got a funny feeling about this game…

All I ask is we have a chance going into the 4th…

It’s easier to do that now. “New Year 6s” bowls don’t have a cap on number of conference teams. If the 2007 and 2013 teams accomplished what they did with modern bowl rules, both would’ve made those NY6 bowls

I have a new 86" TV and will be listening to this one on the radio. If I'm lucky.

**** me.

How do you view sports, Streaming, Cable, Satellite? I only have a 60” plasma and have debated going bigger, but I use YouTube TV and it’s still only 720p or 1080i

My wife gets us a free DishNetwork sub.

I took MU and the points. You guys got this!

Defense got them to 4th down twice...I find that encouraging

That was a perfect pass

What a catch by Burden.

Great concentration on the catch too

WTF was with that play calling?

Eli gave up on that series, pussy move.

This announcer is an idiot

MU tying it up. Looking pretty good so far. Our D is playing damn good too

Jesus Christ why is the playcaller waving the white flag every time we hit a 3rd and long?

It’s pretty gutless.

I haven't been able to watch or listen to the game today. I'm just catching updates here and there. I have to say that I'm pleased to see the score tied at halftime. It's good to see Mizzou hanging with the defending champs.

I say rattle that Georgia QB.

They are hanging with them, just been frustrated with the play calling.

Too many mistakes today.

CBS might as well just stay in commercials for kickoffs if they’re gonna show that overhead camera angle where you can’t see shit.
