MAKE. BETTER. CHOICES. These young men got everything going for them in life, But make stupid choices like this and during the season even worse.

Would he have been considered more of the backup CB to Gillbeau or the backup Nickle to Grayson? @CJ Vogel

These are kids. It’s going to happen. They live in Austin too. Just a kid making a mistake. This is not an unforgivable offense.

Whatever, it happens. We now probably won't see Mack on the field these next 3 games, potentially the rest of the season.

Yes, we're basically Florida 2009 at this point. I heard that Jerrick Gibson actually murdered Jonah Williams.

The hardest thing to do is lead young men. Every weekend in the military I recieved and issued safety briefing and of course there was always one, my 1SG would look at me and ask why? Hell idk, he had the same briefings everyone else had.

You could be right

Great, turning into Georgia without the national championships.

It said early Wednesday morning. Guessing that's like 1 am.

We can only hope

One thing Saban knew is your program is built every day, relentlessly. You recruit like your hair is on fire 24/7. You don’t take even a month off. You adjust as the game evolves. He didn’t hesitate to bring in Kiffin and then Sark to run the offense. He would recruit and bring in transfers over existing talent if it made the team better. He’d pull or gray shirt commits if he could upgrade. He never stopped building, for a minute.

How do you do this given what happened to Nick Brooks (proven not to be what was reported initially, but still) and the HC you play for? Makes no sense. Hopefully he learns and grows from this.

The more disturbing thing to me is it said Wednesday morning. So that means he was drinking before or right after practice.

Not good .. DWI arrest https://www.facebook.com/share/18pFqnRjrG/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Sad to hear. Thought he would be playing over the next few games with a chance to work. Maybe he still will, but hard to say.

There is absolutely no reason to get a DWI/DUI in 2025. Especially not in Austin, there's always an Uber or Lyft five minutes away.

Well this isn’t necessarily great news😕

On the surface, it’s easy to argue that Bama didn’t need a program builder. Their program was built, just needed a competent winner. Which DeBoer had proved himself to be in his prior stops. But to be a Devil’s advocate along the same lines as your argument, I recently watched a clip of Saban making his Bama team run wind sprints and he said something that is very pertinent and supportive of your position. He said: “only two things can happen- either we’re gonna get better or we’re gonna get worse. We’re not gonna remain the same” And maybe that was the flaw in the case of the Saban to DeBoer transition, and all transitions of a great to his successor. It seems like the general thought/goal is to “maintain” the greatness. Which, if you believe Saban’s line, is impossible. It’s either better or worse.

lagged far behind is a reach. Texas had a top 10 offense in 2023 and we had the most explosive offense last year.

That's what makes coaching at the top level SEC teams so hard. At most if your freshman recruits hit, you have to maximize them because you only have them for two more years.

Tech #2 for facilities is surprising.

And they had a bunch of talent returning for third and fourth years in 2022 followed by them sticking around in 2023. Three first round picks who were all draft eligible the year before. DeBoer did great with what he had. But like at Fresno State he didn’t stick around long. I don’t blame him in the least, but he’s not a proven program builder.

He’s been leaning in his defense his entire tenure here while the offense has lagged far behind.

We discussed this today on Coffee and Football, but Dave Campbell’s Texas football surveyed about 50 kids anonymously. The graphic I made doesn’t go over all of the survey, but some key points here worth discussing imo. Longhorns commit Jermaine Bishop is named the best player in the state by his peers. Texas gets the most love when it comes to HC you want to play for the most and top facilities. Texas A&M comes away with best stadium (Texas 2nd) and best atmosphere (Texas 2nd).

I remember CJ and gerry loving the deboer hire at bama saying “he wins wherever he goes”. I just wasn’t convinced he could field a competent defense for the SEC or win at this level on a consistent basis.
