I wonder how the total paid to all staff compares. There was a big deal made about Jedd negotiating some of his pay for a bigger assistant budget.

FWIW this class would now rank 2nd in the new Big12

Sage&Silver

I don't understand why all the talk is about the BIG12 picking off the remaining 10 PAC schools. the pacTEN has the markets and access to California plus Arizona/Nevada recruiting. The LA schools already get their pick of SoCal recruits, so it's not like the west coast talent pool will be drained wi...

They run so hard out of the box on every hit, even the no-doubters.

Someone needs to tell him to never fucking celebrate again

(btw he's the one that kept celebrating coverage when down 28-0 @ Houston)
And a minute later he lets go on a tackle and it becomes a touchdown

He missed three tackles in one play

That will eliminate almost all kick returns then seriously at this point they should just remove the play from the game. it's stupid to have it in the game and yet allow any kick inside the 25 to be fair-caught and taken to the 25. Also, the speeding up when the clock starts is stupid too. How abou...

Not bad for a former walk on that literally fell into our laps. Better to be lucky than good sometimes right? Kingery is an awesome guy too, he deserves nothing less than success. Regarding the walk-on status, I think he came from Phoenix. With only 11.7 scholarships in baseball, the lion's share g...

This bit from ESPN's story of Kingery's 6-yr $24 million extension with the Phillies: Kingery's contract gives him the most guaranteed money ever for an amateur drafted player who has never played in the major leagues. The previous such contract record was $10 million Also this gem of a comparison t...

qwerty: You brought up KN and RR as the measuring sticks, not me. My contention isn't with Sumlin isn't a good hire. He will improve Texas recruiting, create continuity on the defensive staff and probably have a good year or two with Tate. My contention is with the binary position most posters seem ...

I think Ken N sounds like a great coach and leader. His record proves it. He does not badmouth his prior employers or write books pointing fingers at folks a la Rich Rod. He isn't a jobhopper. While he isn't running for sainthood, he looks like a very solid dude, who is resourceful. I am good with ...

Saw it tweeted, but might have missed it on this board... He recruits Texas, California and the Pacific Islands. If you were to create an Arizona coach in a laboratory, that's where you'd give him strong recruiting ties right? Not gonna disparage the Naval Academy or the Navy, because i jave high r...

Condolences to the board, Daily Star reports he's officially been offered.

Either he's the coach, or we just got used to leverage a raise from a service academy.

Sumlin had a great first year with Johnny. In the past 5 A&M seasons they've played 7 power five teams outside of the SEC (because his 19-21 conference record the past 5 years, never finishing above 4th in the west is seen as immaterial) 4-3 is the record. If you include the Belk Bowl (under the int...

Why are we so excited on Sumlin...he sucked at A&M. He got lucky cause he had Johnny Football for 2 years, he could have made any team good. And Helfich=Tim Floyd. Neither hire would move the needle much here. The west was murder until this past season. He did as well as Mullen, though with better ...

Talk of Butch Jones reminds me of ASU trying to hire June Jones. I hope the outcome would be the same anyhow.

The BigXII wants into bigger markets to get a conference network, and the PAC wants UT an OU. Rather than realignment, why not ADD the BigXII to the network?

Hope they don't move the outfield walls. The "go yard or strike out trying" mentality is killing baseball.

Mariner's GM sent Trey a signed contract post-dated for 2012 when he was born While Trey's selection may be a legacy thing, MLB teams sometimes blow their lower draft picks on athletes from other sports in case things don't work out in that sport.
