Mateer thread

[Loyal Coug1]

Well the suspense is killing this Coug. Figured we needed a hand-wringing thread.
Question - when is his birthday? Or in simpler terms, when does he turn 21? Every bar in Pullman wants to know. I've scoured the internet and can't find a birthdate. I see that SMU's backup and sometimes starter QB is entering the portal but will stay for the playoffs.

I wouldn’t say we are out of the woods but consider it very good news so far he hasn’t “entered” the portal yet. There’s no commitment once you do of course but sort of like a kid “reopening his recruitment” I’d say we went from 1% to 50% he’s staying which is outstanding.

I want to know when he turns 21! Can you imagine the NIL fundraisers we could have at establishments all over the state? "Have a beer with John Mateer" - proceeds go to his NIL fund!". And serve nothing except 'Ol Crimson beer. More money.

Edit - shit - Hutson just declared for the portal.

Hutson exiting doesn't necessarily mean anything related to Mateer, but it's not a great sign. You can read it as he knows JM is leaving and he wants to go somewhere with an established QB...or you can read it that his leaving means JM has fewer familiars to return to, now that his top 2 receivers and RB are gone. Or, maybe he just doesn't like that all the attention is on JM. Or about 1,000 other maybes that I don't have the energy to list.

Well, Oklahoma lost all of their WR's to the portal, so they probably overpaid for Hutson.

Not the worst thing they did…we know they overpaid for Arbuckle.

Top 2 receivers are gone? You mean for 2025 right?

Yes, Kyle Williams is a senior and Hutson’s in the portal.

He’s leaving. Watch Dickert post practice video. Dickert looks like a guy who had his life stolen. His eyes are blank. Dude is probably on the verge of a breakdown. Mateer is leaving.

I would suspect he is and that is my expectation, but what can be done....

Use his funds to buy Dlineman and LBs and a safety
