  1. Past hour
  2. Ahead of the OTF Tour stop in Houston, I’m at CE King High School to get a look at 2028 speedster Dillon Mitchell and plenty of others coming off of a run to the state championship game in 2025. Updates in the comments below.

  3. VY was 22, at a time, when the NFL was transitioning from old school coaches to new ones like Andy Reid. Fisher was straddling both fences, however, he didn't have the stripes to feel comfy in his job. He hadn't won anything. Therefore, he assumed the position of a Warlord. Do as I say or else. Bud Adams certainly didn't help. VY just needed someone who had his back. When McNair was murdered, he fell into a depression. Again, no help. Nowadays, athletes are less vulnerable. Coaches are much more sensitive. Jared Elliott is a great example of this new type of coach. Because Sark has been given a second chance, he is much more cognizant of being there for his players too. Fisher, not responding to VY's letter, is all you need to know what a bitter human being he has remained. He takes no accountability. The part I loved was the reverence Scaife and White had for VY. They understood the pressure he was under. Being a quarterback in the League has to be among the most difficult jobs to have period. Look how many have tried and failed. VY is a hero to many of us. He will remain so. His legacy will be remembered for bringing a joy to us seconded only by the birth of our children. VY is loved by us and will always be so.
  4. Mind bending to think of Mick and Dolly as contemporaries! 🤯 Her stardom was only exceeded by her persona.
  5. Haha preciate you @Jordan Scruggs
  6. Someone has to! One day I'll grow out of it @Joe Zura one day
  7. won the 2021 Grammy Award - best contemporary christian music....liked this one
  8. Lots of QBs have flourished on their 2nd or even 3rd or 4th stop. Vince battled maturity issues even at Texas, and was never an elite passer. He had a clean start at Philly under one of the greatest QB whisperers and even that didn’t work out. Interestingly there was an A Football Life which featured both Vince and Matt Leinart. They both admitted they didn’t work hard enough to achieve the success they had in college in the NFL. I love Vince, and he took Texas to levels we hadn’t seen in decades. That doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a successful run in the NFL.
  9. It was either 1970 or 71, I was serving as a host at a function in Athens, Tx and was sitting next to a young man named Buddy Iles. It took me a while to realize who I was sitting next to. We got a pretty good laugh when I told him my real feelings about him. He caught the 50 yard TB to beat the Longhorns in that 61 game. 🤘🏻

  12. I know what you mean, but I must correct my post above. Texas played TCU in the odd numbered years in Austin, so both of the upsets from '59 and '61 occured at home... By the way there are still quite a few of us from that era! ☺️
  13. Fisher definitely a class A a$$hole. I think VY would’ve flourished under a different head coach in the NFL. I did and still do firmly believe that if you give him some time and consideration he would’ve grown into that role. It’s not one most young QBs just step into naturally. When the head coach is putting you on blast and private stuff out in the media it’s hard to want to really go all in on that one. I loved the Scaife and White interviews!
  14. All of the RB rooms (minus the QB stats) that made the CFB Playoff last year averaged 125 yds/gm (5yds/carry), would be EVEN higher because Bama brought those numbers down. Without the cupcake games, stripping Arch's rushing totals, our running back room was 65 yds/gm (3.4yds/carry). DRASTIC difference for teams competing for the natty. I know some people want to talk about Arch's numbers in the passing game that need to improve. I believe with our receiving weapons, if our rushing game improves at all... our offense will be clicking, and those wrs will be running wide open.
  15. Man it is good to see people my age an older in here.
  16. I thought it was pretty fair. Definitely confirmed Fisher as an a-hole. But also made it clear VY didn’t put in the work to be a franchise QB.
  17. As a 12 year old I was heartbroken about that loss to TCU in 1961 at Fort Worth. It was the second time in three years that TCU upset the previously unbeaten Longhorns. (the first was in 1959 at TCU's home field) It wasn't until 1963 that Texas would go undefeated and become undisputed national champions.
  18. Massive in state battle on the pitch tomorrow
  19. Because he is a running back and running backs are not premium positions to waste a first round pick on. Five star just means almost certain first round pick.
  20. Texas did find a 7 foot tall band member back then.
  21. How is he not a 5 Star now?
  22. I think what he actually said was now that you’ve freed up all that NIL you had set aside for those returning pros my $ ask has gone up!
  23. Is either OTF or 3&L broadcasting/filming?
  24. Check with Bob W------h on how to run tryouts.
