NIL and verbal commitments- how does it work?

So we're on a heater of landing verbal commitments from 2026 kids who can go just about wherever they want in the country. I know that technically, kids can't get NIL deals until they're enrolled but common sense tells that "rule" is being ignored. So how are NIL deals discussed for a kid who's 13 months away from being able to sign in December 2025? Is it a handshake deal? Money under the table like the old days?

Does a 10-2 SEC team make the playoffs

If the sips win their next 3, by no means a given, and then get spanked at Kyle, they would be 10-2 without a win against a ranked team. They have beaten Michigan, OU, and Vandy. All were ranked when they played them, and all are now out of the rankings. They have UF, Arky, and UK left. If they wins those, it’s unlikely any of them would be ranked. The only ranked teams would be Ags and Dawgs, both L’s.

There are 7 at large bids, ND will get one and the SEC runner up will get one. Georgia plays Tenn, so one of those will probably have one loss and the other will have 2. The winner would be in the SEC championship. That would put tu, UT (presumably) and LSU or Bama (they play each other) all with 2 losses. Can’t see the SEC getting five teams in, so based on quality wins, 10-2 tu would be left out. Now that’s funny!

Aggie on Aggie Violence, NFL Style

Christian Kirk is out for the year following a broken collarbone. Guess who hit him.

Kirk, 27, sustained the injury when attempting to reel in a pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. As Kirk braced for his fall after corralling the ball, Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper tackled Kirk, who landed directly on his left shoulder. Kirk stayed on the ground and immediately grabbed for his left shoulder with his right arm.

This Is Sort Of Funny

I got this from my Tomball daughter this morning:

I’m listening to the radio and the lady on the radio was down on the field at Kyle Field on Saturday. She kept referring to the yell leaders as the yellers and they have this midnight pep rally. The yellers are just the most amazing group of people. If you haven’t been to an Aggie game you really need to go and watch the yellers….they are the best dancers:rolleyes: .

Thoughts from watching the game again

The first half was not near as bad as I thought, having been at the game. On Moss’s fumble, he had broken the tackle. If he holds onto the ball, he likely scores. There were two big third downs where LSU converted that they shouldn’t have, and then there was the absurd missed tackle that put them up 17-7. You clean up just a little of that, and the first half is a different ball game.

I have been a little concerned about Reed and his inaccuracy. He’s only completing maybe 55% for the season, but they showed Wigman’s stats. Before the game he was only completing 60%. After that abysmal showing, it’s clear that Reed is the guy. He is statistically the same as CW and has the legs.

If you haven’t seen his post game interview or press conference, you should watch them. Kid is very poised and a great leader. This could get very, very interesting. Oh, Herby was drooling all over him. Apparently his kids went to school with Reed. He says we haven’t seen anything yet!

Injuries…..

Maybe this has been discussed and I missed it in the shuffle. Reed Adams I guess went down now (was at game and must have missed it) and bisontis.

If this team wants to get where we think they can get, we have to have the OL healthy. Any updates on those two? TJ and Dewberry starting at the two guard spots scares me a bit, but what is really scary is if any other goes down.

SEC tiebreaker

I’m going to preempt the “just win” or “let’s not look ahead” statements. I get it. And I agree. But I like football talk and interesting dynamics around tiebreakers and this is a discussion board.

So, with that out of the way, and assuming we take care of USCe and Auburn, if Georgia gets tripped by either Ole Miss or Tenn then it doesn’t matter what do vs Texas, we will be in the SEC Championship Game. We would have head to head on LSU and due to Vols’ loss vs Ark, have the second tiebreaker (record vs common opponent) over Vols.

My point is, it’s a very good chance that we play Texas back to back games. It would involve the above happening and then Texas beating us in week 12. If we beat Texas, then it would be vs LSU or Tenn (or Georgia).

Lots to occur between now and then. But it is insane that after 12 years of not playing, we could play in back to back weeks with the highest of stakes.
