a lot of dollar bills will be exchanged.

In the discussion of players and the portal the unknown factor is money.  If you're 19/20 years old and another school has an extra $100-200k? I don't give a shit if you brought in Bill Walsh to be the OC the kid is likely leaving.  Most of these players know their nfl goes are slim; cash now is king.

that has become the case.

add in a dysfunctional team and shitty season, and you can expect some of our guys to leave no matter how much it might seem like a mistake.

and somebody else's guys look better because you only hear about whatever good they accomplished.

Presumably coaches are more informed and look at tape, although some of the misses made cause me to wonder (like GT's QB from last year going to Nebraska, he results were utterly predictable to the GT fanbase and presumably the Neb coaching staff had more info)

Seems our LBs are not fans of TWill or he told them all to find new homes

I thought our defensive staff was one of the best staffs in the country.  Why would players portal off the ship?

Obviously we didn't want these guys and encouraged them to leave.

Jesus do we have to do this every year. They'll always be dudes coming and going and coming (and always too soon) and that's just the way things are.

There has been way too much positivity the last few days.  I'm just trying to balance us back out.

I think it's the latter.

Read somewhere that Linebackers are responsible for a lot of missed tackles and aren't grading very high. I think that they think they'll take their chances on some portal guys. We find another Thomas or 2 and we'll be in okay shape.

powell was special teams last year. got hurt and didn't get on the field much this season.

him leaving probably had more to do with looking for more playing time.

Two guys from UGAG that portaled to Bama made big plays in this game, guess UGAG is on their last legs.

Looks like a couple lucky schools have purchased their new QBs on the layaway plan.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."
