Much like Logan Eggleston was one of Coach Elliott's favorite recruits, I believe Rori Harmon is one of Coach Vic's favorite recruits (she was his first offer at Texas) and he really wanted to win a championship for her and had the team that was able to do it. He probably views it as letting it get away and that he failed to deliver.

I’m so much more screw ND and everyone back out of playing them so they have no one left (join a conference already) than I am let’s not play them bc they’re formidable

The transfer from Tech is like the 5th string pitcher, Texas does have former #1 recruit transfer from OU available next year (she had to sit out this year) as well as the stud pitcher recruit as well. My guess is Salmon and Gonzales (Tech transfer) both transfer out.

This is where my brain sits as well. Let them float.

You’re probably right but I’m just being greedy/petty lol.

No major school should play ND until they join a conference

The NBC deal will continue because both make a lot of money. ND shouldn’t get any money from ABC/ESPN, Fox, CBS until it joins a P4 conference.

Lots of great responses here....keep them coming

Absolutely 💯 correct. ND needs to be locked out until they play by the same rules as everyone else. Join a conference and get rid of the NBC nonsense.

Are the members of the CFP committee ever a topic of discussion? I mean why not put a committee of former coaches spearheaded by Nick Saban to determine the criteria to make the playoffs?

Get rid of the Notre Dame game! Non-conference doesn't matter according to the committee. Who knows by then we may have a super conference of 40-54 teams and get rid of all the lower level schools. I've had season tickets for years and love the high profile games but winning a game by 30-40 points against a lesser opponent doesn't suck either and keeps ticket scalpers from raising aftermarket ticket prices. 🤘

First surprise to me

Checked in on this — Hearing Texas is expected be around in this one. Swan’s sister was just accepted to pre-law at Texas and obviously is from Georgetown. Her boyfriend lives up in the DFW area, so returning to the area is definitely top of mind. There was some reluctance to how hard Texas would push given elite C prospect, Stevie South, arriving to campus in the fall. During her junior in 2025, South hit .535 batting average with a .639 on-base percentage and 122 total hits. I do think Texas will at least be interested in this recruitment, but I was told the team early on to monitor in this one will be Baylor.

If it’s me, I’m dropping the ND series. Unfortunately with how this whole CFB world is playing out big time OOC mean nothing anymore. There is no need to give ND a chance to pump their ending resume up with a potential win over us, while they then go on a play a cupcake schedule all year and we play a SEC gauntlet. Bail on the series and force them to join the Big 10 permanently. I’ve said for a long time I don’t understand why teams even give them the time a day when it comes to playing them. They’re the biggest frauds/jokes in college football.

I’m all for holding Notre Dame accountable - they’ve gamed the system for decades. But canceling great home games at DKR shouldn’t be Texas’ leverage tool. Fans shouldn’t lose Michigan/Notre Dame just to make a point. Fix the CFP criteria so Texas can schedule like Texas, and ND can deal with the consequences of staying independent on their own time I keep arguing, but i still want to watch good football games going forward 😉

I get the idea, but Texas shouldn’t have to blow up great home games just to shame the CFP into competence. Fans shouldn’t be punished because the committee can’t tell the difference between Rice and Michigan. Fix the system - don’t neuter the brand

That's what we all would prefer, but until it's fixed we need to play with the system as it is. A few high profile games like Texas-ND getting canceled would be a powerful catalyst for getting things fixed.

I still want hime to be a Longhorn. Good Luck to the young man and family.

Lots are not.

I’d be against canceling any other big name team, but screw Notre Dame right now. Until they stop demanding special treatment their fans need to suffer through watching 10+ boring blowouts every regular season. We’ll have a ton of great games without them.

They were built different then

Cancel the games and never schedule ND for any sport, until ND plays by the same rules as all others teams and joins a P4 conference!

I was at the media scrum when he said that. He is clearly still seeing some ghosts about last season. It almost felt like he was grieving during the media availability. At the same time, he gets the women back in the gym in the next month and I think it’s going to be just fine. He definitely is going to play more freshman more minutes than typical.
