You can just tell NIL is not Arch’s focus. He “tries to not do too much”.  He wants to focus on football. He won’t say it, but his focus is to be a #1 pick and to be an NFL All Star. He knows that’s were the big money. You can be a millionaire in college or you can be a billionaire through the NFL. Pick

Thank you CJ and OTF for this coverage.

I have heard Richie Wesley also took less NIL than what was on the table to commit to Texas.

Kids that bet on themselves by coming into this program won't regret it. Of the elite recruiting classes that Texas has had the past few years the attrition rate has been relatively low all things considered. Had Sydir Mitchell known Bo Davis was going to the saints he probably wouldn't have gone there. 

The culture at Texas is phenomenal and Arch is a great example.

 

I’ll have some thoughts on Arch tonight from the Manning Passing Academy. Overall a cool weekend and solid showing when throwing the rock. 

Arch does a great job of living the celebrity life and being a good sport of everything that comes with the last name.

According to Washington sports writers he pretty consistent, but his downfall is the deep ball.

I’ll take a 9-4 or 10-3 season from them if it means another 30+ point loss to Texas and they still miss the CFP.  Give their fanbase and administration false hope like 2000-2004 Texas.

OU is looking down the barrel of 2010-2020 Texas.

Never eat Prejeans, Crawfish USA, or Pats of Henderson.

Stop at exit 98 and hit Dons, Billy’s, Kartchners, or the Best Stop for great plate lunches. 
 

Never not eat chicken cracklings if offered!

I think Jeff meant 2000-2010. Even so, Texas didn't exactly dominate the criminals during that time. Hoping for much more than that. 

Not buying the Mateer hype. Watch the film. The guy's mechanics and footwork are all over the place. He's not big, fast or accurate. Criminal skill talent isn't exactly eye popping either.

 No, I meant Oklahoma could be on the verge of going through a stretch like Texas did in the 2010s.

Sorry, Jeff. Like to see them go the way of SMU death penalty. After all, the Switzer criminals made SMU look like angels.
