I’m not answering for Bobby, but I will say that Abbott attended the University of Texas. He also has a major pulse on what’s going on with the University (such as the Eltife nugget, which he had a direct hand in). There was literally ZERO political talk. None. Nothing even close to it. Personally I don’t care if any of you are for or against his politics, because that’s not what we discuss here. We talk UT and that’s it. It’s pretty easy to separate the two and that is exactly what happened today. Unfortunately I couldn’t even listen to what he was saying live because I had to police the chat from the moment he came on. That’s insane to me. Outside of Abbott, I’m not aware of any other politician who has been on any OTF show. Maybe I’m wrong… but even if they were I’d feel confident saying that no politics were discussed. Nor will they ever be discussed on OTF. Today was Texas talk only.

I’ve heard/read every once in a while that starters on the top teams aren’t much better than the mid-pack or top 2/3rds teams. It’s the fact their backups and 3rd string are much much better that allows them to really get better and pull away usually this is true here. Our depth should be much better than their depth allowing us to stay fresh and help

@Bobby Burton love what you’ve built here, but it can’t remain apolitical if you keep inviting politicians on your programs.

I think a lot of this game hinges on whether we can get a north south run game with Baxter. We didn’t have that in the cotton bowl and it hurt us. Hope Baxter still has the one cut and go ability. Moving the ball 4 to 5 yards on first down makes this offense deadly. Ohio state is thinking of the same thing with Peoples.

August 39 is always my favorite day of the year

At some point Sark will need to have a serious conversation with him about his future. There’s too much safety talent in the pipeline putting in the effort year-round for Jonah to assume he can take the winter and spring off for baseball. Doesn’t matter how talented he is—he needs to dedicate himself to his craft if he wants to make the kind of impact on this team that we all know he can.

He knows there are 11 more days of August left after he wins this game. He should be!

Sark looks/sounds confident

Sark needs to remain patient, rely on everything he has learned in the losses from the last few years, while staying aggressive and taking the deep shots. I really enjoyed the show earlier in the week where Rod broke down the script plays from the two Bama games and the Michigan game the last three years. I am excited to see how the offense performs when the full Sark playbook can be unleashed. Hopefully this game is similar to when Sark faced OSU in 2020.
