I’m disappointed in you I expect perfection

It’s OK Blake. We couldn’t hear you anyway.

I remember when $MU came into DKR for an afternoon game and brought their "Payroll" team when they were a Top 10 team for the first time in generations. DKR still had the track around the football field. Late in the game the Longhorns' Mr. Lott Sr. was playing CB and the Ponies decided threw to his side from about the Texas 15-yd line at the North end of the field. Lott broke up consecutive pass plays near the pylon. After the second PBU he bent over and threw up on the track surface. Lott's big plays on D were one of the keys to the Texas victory that day. If his son doesn't want to be known as a Legacy player I can respect that. My daughter was not a student athlete, but I must tell you I was really happy when she told me she was going to the Forty Acres and our family enjoyed her time as a student at UT.

Nice profile picture Mr Lanning

Keeping tally this time on how many days. I was doing so freaking good. Like 1.5-2 months good. And then I choked it away. 🤦‍♂️

👀😂

If it’s not Blake this morning, it’ll be me on the livestream tonight.

Word is Texas wanted Chamberlain to stay.

Is he still a Georgia lean or has this turned into a wild card recruitment?

Is it good for Texas or not @Gerry Hamilton?

Went deep into the archives for today, yall. Check out the blurb on Sewell... Harley Sewell Harley Sewell had a remarkable collegiate career at the University of Texas, where he played as a linebacker before transitioning to offensive guard in the pros. Known for his grit and hustle, he was a two-time All-Southwest Conference selection and earned First-Team All-American honors in 1952. One of his standout moments came in the 1953 Cotton Bowl, where he helped lead Texas to a win over Tennessee and was named the game's Most Valuable Player. His performance in that game was legendary—he anchored a defense that held the Vols to just six first downs and minus-14 rushing yards. Sewell’s journey to Texas is the stuff of football folklore: he was discovered working atop a telephone pole in the tiny town of St. Jo, Texas. A recruiter shouted up, “How would you like to play football for the University of Texas?” and just like that, a Longhorn legend was born. -- Herb Gray: He played for the Longhorns from 1953 to 1955, earning All-American and All-Southwest Conference honors in his senior year. He was also named team co-captain and the Houston Post’s SWC MVP for defense in 1955. After college, he was drafted by the Baltimore Colts but chose to play in the Canadian Football League, where he had a stellar career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. -- Doug Dawson: Doug Dawson had a stellar collegiate career as an offensive lineman for the Texas Longhorns from 1980 to 1983. A Houston native and Memorial High School graduate, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a team co-captain and was recognized as a consensus First-Team All-American in his senior year. He wasn’t just a force on the field—he also earned Academic All-American honors, showing his dedication in the classroom as well. His leadership and performance helped anchor the Longhorns’ offensive line during a competitive era in Southwest Conference football.

We are down to just 66 days before Texas opens the season against Ohio State. Who is your favorite Longhorn to wear No. 66? Some options today include... Harley Sewell Herb Gray Doug Dawson

Good chance 4-star++ James Johnson makes a decision prior to July 2, as of today

Hate to see him go. I wonder if it was mutual? He seems to be doing well in summer ball and I saw some indications that he could be a good hitter. I didn't see him enough behind the plate to judge how good he might be. I know Galvan improved a lot.

At least in 2020, based on US News survey of faculties, Stanford had the single strongest faculty. Eleven of the 67 schools on the list below have all academic departments ranked 30th or better in the nation. The private elites in this group are Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell; the public universities in the group are UC Berkeley, Michigan, Wisconsin, UCLA, and UT Austin. Texas was #14 overall, while being one of the eleven with every one of the 15 departments surveyed in the top thirty. Faculty may not be the best and certainly is not the only measure of a university, but it would be difficult to ever say Stanford has "slipped" if it has the strongest overall faculty in America.

8:15 or 8:15ish😁

Will you be muted again 👀👀👀👀

Show starts around 8:15 AM!

We had a baseball player in our engineering class. Aside from being a nice guy, it was impressive he had the time for both.

There is a typical mix of undergraduate courses that med schools require, rather than a major. The STEM load required is less than for any science or engineering degree and could be managed by a history major. The trick is to have a near 4 point average in those required courses. Most American med schools, for admission, do not require undergraduates to have taken any calculus or calculus based introductory physics, for example, among the 10-11 required STEM courses. As a practical matter there is no barrier to med school raised by an Aggie undergrad education. I suggest that the undergraduate environment for a football player who must maintain a high grade point average and schedule his labs to not interfere with football practice requires a strong commitment from the school and the athletic program to provide individual attention to scheduling, mentoring and tutoring. Typically private elites do this well as a matter of course, but I suspect that Texas and Michigan, public elites, and Aggie, a strong near elite, will do this well upon demand.

Based on what?

What we know at this point is that he moved up his commitment date following the South Carolina visit. At the same time, Texas is not recruiting another un-committed corner currently.

Bishop had nothing to do with Lott’s decision other than Bishop’s pledge could have shrunk the NIL pool at the position.

Stanford academics are not what they used to be.

I figured Bishop committing and playing wr was the straw that broke the camels back.
