A couple of international players will join the rowing team.

It’s gotta be golf related.

Can you give us the sport at least? 🤣

How are you going to do this to us Bobby?

Bobby Layne was considered an excellent DB on those late 40s Texas teams.

Man, you are killing me with the there could be some big news comment. I can’t wait to hear what it is.

In the age of nil, I would bet he comes back for a bigger payday now and down the road by increasing his draft stock. He is one big year away from changing his whole trajectory..

This time next week, much of the OTF crew will be in Tampa for the beginning of SEC Football Media Days. We’ll have a set up there where we’ll be interviewing various folks from around the SEC. We’ll attempt to speak to a media member from every 2026 conference opponent to get their viewpoint on their matchup with the Longhorns. It should be wall-to-wall football coverage. Hopefully, y’all like it! ** As of today, Texas baseball is waiting on a decision from infielder Ethan Mendoza. Mendoza went undrafted and could return to Texas for next season (or even the next two seasons with the five-for-five). I’m told Mendoza at one point was dead set on moving on to the minors, but his injury and upcoming surgery, on top of not being drafted have him re-thinking that decision. His choices are pretty clear: Sign an undrafted free agent deal for a max bonus of $150k or return to Texas and try to improve his draft stock. A decision is expected as soon as tomorrow. ** While I have to stop short of guaranteeing anything, there could be some very interesting news this week. I need to leave the topic out of it for now.

Baab. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

People screaming SEC bias are really getting under my skin. They are not wrong, but they don't understand why and that's what pisses me off. The preseason FPI is working off recruiting rankings and projections. Yes, SEC teams will be overrated. They will be ranked higher because they invest the most in talent. By the end of the season, it is no longer about projections and the FPI works out because every conference record balances to 0. At the end of the day, the FPI SOS does not matter compared to the FPI SOR at the end of the season. The CFB public pretends they do not believe "you are your record". Penn State last year was a better team than their record. With a 9 game conference schedule there will plenty of SEC teams that are better than their record. A 2-10 SEC team is better than the bottom half of the Big 12...

Same! Hutson is a good number 2

The Paddy Submission was so technical it made up for the short time

We’re on a ufc topic, Blake. I specifically referred to Conor’s offenses. I stand by my point that he is not someone to revere or idolize and I hope he is done for better talent that’ll honor the sport. Dana’s allowed to become 100% wwe from a marketing perspective. It’s very theatrical outside the ring. As someone that took it for many years, it’s very disappointing. He had a great chance to bring forward the spirit that DO posted about but he hasn’t. He’s allowed it to become politicized and gives the mic to the loudest mouths. It overshadows the true fighters in the ring which produced amazing fights. Some that we saw that night. 🤘🏽

Baab all the way.

Hutson sliding to guard probably saved the season and arch’s life last year.

We’re 54 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 54 group is led by Mike Baab, one of the best centers to come through Texas. Baab was a team captain, First-Team All-Southwest Conference, helped Texas go 10-1-1 and finish No. 2 nationally in 1981, then started in the Cotton Bowl win over Alabama. He went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL with Cleveland, New England and Kansas City. Cole Hutson also belongs in the conversation after a really solid Texas career from 2022-25. He played in 48 games with 23 starts, started at both center and guard, and was part of the 2023 Joe Moore semifinalist unit and the 2024 Joe Moore finalist offensive line. Justin Mader rounds it out as a multi-year deep snapper who played in 49 career games, earned Academic All-Big 12 honors three times and landed on the Patrick Mannelly Award watch list.

There's also a restaurant and they have a HUGE beef jerky (paging @Gerry Hamilton) selection inside of it as well (along with fudge and stuff like that).

Their website should be working, as the location in The Colony has been in business for years. Maybe they're having issues. I'd try again in a little bit.
