Basketball and football are totally different sports. If I have a quicker step than you I can get to the cup and use the rim as a protector. In football even if I beat you off the line and do all the things, but the QB is late and throws it inside and high that's a pbu or a pick. Young buck needs to calm down, there's so much that he doesn't even know that he doesn't know. Confidence is good arrogance and ignorance yield Brandon Aiyuk. -

I watched some of this but stopped it 30 mins in because the guy on the lefts take seemed pretty biased. -
I read violations initially and got excited. Lol

There's confidence and arrogance 😂 if a high school student thinks he can challenge an all pro NFL corner that's just ignorance. I wish Sauce would have taken him up on his challenge and showed his the difference in strength, technique, and craftiness. These two aren't on the same planet when it comes to skill. Size and speed don't matter when you're going against someone who can neutralize it. -

I would agree, however they have a very very good coach in Cignetti. That dude just wins every where he goes. Do I think he will get developed the same. No. Do I think IU will be a winning program. As long as Cignetti is there. Absolutely. All I am saying is dont put the cart before the horse. IUs offensive scheme is good, and they play disciplined ball. And lets not forget, Texas spent a while walking through the wilderness before they got their footing back as well. -
Lol, that was my takeaway !

Congrats to Spain for making the finals!

Glad I was right the game was 2-0 just like I said

Yeah it's an old school rivalry from the Southwest Conference days. This article written by Blake a little over a year ago explains it well, although it's referring to football. Not sure Texas has a rival in basketball on that level right now. Maybe Texas-Florida can become that level of rivalry in the SEC if Miller and Golden stick around at their respective schools and Texas can start winning some games against Golden over the next few years. -
Quite an astounding prediction, except that there’s only 10 minutes left in the game. 😂

Maybe cause I’m a young but Arkansas has never been thought of as a rival and let’s be real Texas owns them in most things besides basketball and lately baseball -
I know we covered this last fall and again in the spring, but it's worth getting into because it's so important to Sark continuing to call plays. If he's going to do it, he's got to have a pair of eyes upstairs that he trusts and that will give him the information he needs to make the right calls. Milwee going back to the press box wasn't solely responsible for the offense turning things around late last season. Still, it helped a ton and will hopefully help the offense avoid a slow start this season.

The Texas offense was bad through the first seven games of the 2025 season. After plodding their way to season-low marks for total yards (179), yards per play (3.3) and first downs (eight) in a 16-13 overtime road win over Kentucky, the Longhorns fielded one of the least productive offenses in the SEC. The following is what Texas was averaging in a few key statistical categories and where the offense ranked nationally and in the conference (FBS ranking/SEC ranking): Points Per Game — 26.7 (79th/11th) Total Yards Per Game — 368.1 (82nd/11th) Yards Per Play — 5.64 (74th/11th) Rushing Yards Per Game — 149.4 (74th/11th) Yards Per Rushing Attempt — 4.1 (84th/9th) Passing Yards Per Game — 218.7 (78th/13th) Third Down Conversions — 38.1% (89th/13th) The Longhorns righted the ship in a 45-38 overtime road win over Mississippi State the week after escaping Lexington. Behind Arch Manning’s then-career-high 346 passing yards, Texas rallied from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter, with Matthew Caldwell’s touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley V in overtime aiding the program’s biggest comeback win in 18 years. The victory in Starkville helped Manning start anew. His rise coincided with Cole Hutson’s return from injury and subsequent move to left guard for the Vanderbilt game, which helped the Longhorns find an offensive line combination that worked. Those two factors played a significant role in the offense turning things around. A third factor that doesn’t get talked about as much, however, but was just as important in sorting things out was Steve Sarkisian’s decision to move AJ Milwee from the sideline to the press box on game day. Milwee, who came to Texas with Sarkisian from Alabama, started his time on the Forty Acres working from the press box. At some point, Sarkisian felt Quinn Ewers needed someone with him on the sideline, which required Milwee to move downstairs. Milwee told On Texas Football during the program’s spring media availability for the offensive coaching staff that the 2023 season is when he and Sarkisian felt coaching from the sideline would best benefit Ewers and, in turn, the offense. The offense struggling, combined with the NCAA lifting restrictions on countable coaches allowing Mike Bimonte to be involved on game day, made the conditions ripe to move Milwee back to the booth. Sarkisian didn’t give up calling plays. He hasn't indicated that he plans to relinquish that role any time soon. So, if he’s not going to turn offensive play-calling over to someone else, then Sarkisian having a pair of eyes in the press box operating as an extension of himself might be the next best thing. “When you add Mike — and we’re all in the same room — I think, from Coach Sark’s perspective, it’s like, ‘OK, AJ has been with me now — we’re going on Year 8 together,’” Milwee said. “It allowed me — different from the first time I was up there — I knew what I was looking for and I knew what he was asking for, and I think that made it easy. It made it easy for me to communicate to him what he was looking for and whether it was plays we need to get back to or a certain grouping of plays we need to get to next, it was more or less to help him, when he came back over from the defensive side of the ball, ‘Hey, what do you want here?’ Whether it was Mike and I talking or Coach (Kyle) Flood and I talking — ‘Hey, we’d like these runs and this grouping of plays coming up,’ we can go to that. It gave (Sarkisian) confidence to get into the flow of, ‘Hey, let’s go with these plays. They’re good. Everything looks good on the iPad from what we’re getting.’ I think it was an easy transition, understanding what he’s looking for.” Except for the running game, which mustered only 23 yards on 17 official rushing attempts against Georgia (even though the Longhorns ran for a combined 453 yards and averaged 6.7 yards per carry in wins over Texas A&M and Michigan), the Texas offense showed marked improvement over the last six games of the season with Milwee in the press box. Points Per Game — 34.8 Total Yards Per Game — 412.2 Yards Per Play — 6.32 Rushing Yards Per Game — 124.2 Yards Per Rushing Attempt — 4.33 Passing Yards Per Game — 288 Third Down Conversions — 40.5% Whether it’s evaluating his coaching staff or deciding which players on offense need the ball in critical situations, trust is hugely important to Sarkisian. It’s clear he trusts Milwee, not just for what he’s telling him, but the way he’s relaying information, which is critical for a play-calling head coach who wants to limit distractions in his ear and digest important information as quickly as possible. It’s a role and responsibility Milwee doesn’t take lightly. “There’s a guy I worked with before and he used to always say that it’s the economy of words,” Milwee said. “I don’t need to give a dissertation. Get to the point. Give him what he needs to know and then he’s going to go from there. He’s the best play-caller in the country. Give him the few things he needs to know and he’s going to make the adjustments and the calls the way he knows how to. Just give him the information he needs and he’ll go apply it.” View full news story

Thanks for sharing this Hank! The colts are my NFL team. It’s awesome when my longhorns and colts world collide. Sauce is a good dude. I hope he has an all pro year! I like Sales’ confidence. I’d love to see him on the 40 for 3 years and then wear the horseshoe. -
I think Spain will score at least two goals. Not sure on France.

Sales has already had a lot of exposure to the NFL. Likely part of why he's so mature. They didn't release the time he ran but Sales and his Lawrence North teammates helped setup/sync the NFL combine equipment earlier this year. If you're curious about his speed, Sales has track PRs of 6.85 in the 60M (2025) 10.81 in the 100M (2025) 21.4 in the 200M (2025) 22-10.75 in the long jump (2025) 5-10 in the high jump (2024) -

Not really because Arkansas owned Texas. They ended the BMW run. Texas would have beaten them during the season, but Nolan didn’t get a tech for walking off the floor. -
Spain are flop kings. I know we want more calls for Wingo but I’d hate to see him start flopping the way Spain does. It’s ridiculous.
