thought ap had said pruitt was a prick, or some such in so many words.

Why are we bashing AP? He’s a very nice person, JMO.

Not really bashing. Just agreeing that no one knows what's gonna happen. Including AP.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

A lot of people here say “we” when talking about the program

That's not what he means and you know it LOL

He is probably really nice, but he and Hubbs have been more pessimistic than normal here lately, especially when it comes to the OL.

Be glad the angry mob is chasing him instead of you, for now.

Agree he’s prob a nice guy.

Don’t think he’s nearly as informed as he portrays, or as he used to be I guess. And he’s super negative about the staff’s decisions all the time.

He’s not alone tho. Majority of media covering UT football act like they know better than the staff. Cain is another.

Not sure why no one else has captured the market yet.

Just an opinion tho.

Media always know better. Life is built around 20/20 hindsight.

This is true

 

[wmcovol]

This staff is much more tight lipped. They go about their business and fill in where they can.

AP golfed and hung out with Pruitt. He got lots of information from it and received much more news.

I can’t imagine learning anything worthwhile spending 4 hours with Jeremy Pruitt.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Any guesses on what his screen name is on here?

Big Orange Train

Too many media members are trying to join Jim Rome, Stephen A Smith, and a plethora of snarky and condescending industry leaders.

i think this philosophy is going to be the most interesting thing about the realtionship between athletic departments and NIL collectives. when i was talking to a donor to UT (not name on building bigtime, but high five figure big) he told me that his "connection" in the athletic department told him that under no circumstance should his giving to NIL impact the money he would give to the athletic dept. he said he was told if there was a choice to be made he needed to err on the side of athletic dept giving first. it will be interesting to see when a team thinks they are that close to being a legit playoff contender will they go all in and what will happen if it works out and what will happen if it doesnt. you can like NIL and transfer portal or not, but no one can say it has not added to the college sports conversation

Yeah. The dynamic is definitely interesting. Someone with more time than me could figure out the ROI return to the athletic department from making a national championship game or even winning. Not just from the singular game but with all things value added.

AP says 60% for Heard. Lol what say @MetalVolunteer @Mrpeabody8888 ??? Confidence level???

 

[bpalmer28]

The portal era is taking years off my life

They seem more confident than 60%.


I think that's where AP being burned this recruiting cycle is making him less confident in what he's being told.

Maybe he is just being cautious, but it's making him look more pessimistic to me.

 

[JacketVol]

That’s probably a good guess. Guys like Butch & Pruitt used VQ to control the narrative, and fed them info.

That doesn’t at all seem like Heup’s style.

Nor is it Danny’s.

Bourbon is the best solution. For Marriage also

 

[CAVPUT]

But I thought all these guys had sources inside our various programs feeding them information? You mean to tell me it's all been a lie?

Bc God forbid AP might have a concern, critique or question a coaches decision, or differ observation. Must be shine 24/7 no matter who

 

[Jackcrevol]

feels like the chris brazzell recruitment

Kinda how this place works. If you don't think everything is all sunshine and rainbows you'll get bashed lol
