Because freshmen who have not even signed yet will takeover the game next year? 🤦🏿‍♂️ Let those teams pay those bonuses until they transfer in the portal! Sark is playing on a different level. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

The NBA/Refs will make sure this is a 7 game series ... way too much $$$ on the line in this one Although if Harper is out and Fox can't go... it very well could catch up with SAS

@Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel @Hank South how do you think this will affect royal? Does a non position coach impact a guy like royal to flip? Or is it just something that can compound?

So, both Tech fans are mad at Brady?

@Jeff Howe just for fun, I compared Arch’s performance in those games to Quinn’s performance against teams in the 2024 final AP top 25. I thought it might be an interesting comparison since Quinn was without question surrounded by a much better cast and he was a 4th-year player that took his team to the semifinals of the CFP, whereas Arch was starting his first full season. The exercise shows that Arch and Quinn had eerily similar numbers under those circumstances. If anything, Arch’s numbers are slightly better (most impressively, he protected the football better against elite competition than Quinn did in 2024). Arch was 4-2 against final top 25 teams; Quinn was 2-3. Here were Quinn’s stats: 112 for 182 (61.5%) for 1376 yards (275 ypg), 9 passing TD, 6 INT (134.8 passer rating) What this all suggests to me is that there is no reason to think that Arch Manning—with a full year of starting experience under his belt, surrounded by a much stronger supporting cast, and having matched the output of Quinn against top competition as a CFP semifinalist—shouldn’t have Texas in serious contention this year.

This is excellent work, Jeff!

You think Tom ain't gonna take a shot at Mahomes? The goat is probably still better than 25 to 30 starting QBs currently playing in the NFL. Tech sucks.

Billy Dale would be a great interview. He volunteered to room with Julius Whittier when Coach Royal asked seniors if they would. Julius & he remained good friends & he has written about how the team integrated. Perhaps the younger readers need to know it wasn't as simple as Julius putting on his uniform. Anyway I have always admired Billy Dale. plus he scored the winning TD in the 1970 Cotton Bowl. A plunge over the goal line. Maybe he should be a red zone advisor for the team. 😎

How about a weekly roundup of all UT sports activities? We have a lot to be proud of from crew to football. It'd be kind of cool if more people knew about our success & the quality of people from coaches, players & staff. We might know crew is top echelon. Or tennis, etc. I'm not sure we appreciate the effort to get there like we do for football. Heck, I'm not sure we appreciate what our softball or baseball teams go through to become elite. CDC gets kudos, let's find out what behind his success. We win Director Cups, let's find appreciate how we do. monthly could work... I'm retired so I have time to peruse content! 🤘🏽

During the season, a weekly watchdog segment that tracks issues with selection committee/AP rankings. The focus should be on identifying where/when teams are clearly being ranked based on win/loss records with little to no regard for the significant strength of schedule disparities that exist in college. we (media, fans, AD’s, universities etc) all have a responsibility to be informed and persistently call it out. We can’t allow ourselves to internalize dumbed down selection committee talking points (ie “shoulda beat Florida”)

Personally I am not worried about recruitment rankings. NIL and the portal has been a massive game changer. Indiana won the Natty using more mature recruits taken from the portal with less NIL $$$.(but I think in future this will be harder for Cignetti to replicate every year) Sark and his team will recruit based on THEIR evaluations of high school recruits regardless of how they rank nationally. Any other needs for key positions will be filled through the portal. So team recruitment rankings aren’t really that important IMHO

This should devolve rather quickly into a conflict of egos once the tough times hit!! I am ready for that fireworks show!! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

As if LSU didn’t have enough clickbait material with Kiffin. However, Kiffin needed an answer to Sark’s hiring of Muschamp and recruiting. Ogeron seems to be his answer. (Wasn’t there a general consensus during Arch’s recruitment, that the Mannings didn’t like LSU largely because of Ogeron…?) Texas at LSU this CFB season just got more interesting.

When athletic director Scott Woodward told Orgeron he was being let go but would receive his full $17.1 million contract value, Orgeron famously responded: "What time you want me to leave, and what door do you want me out of, brother?

21 pts 17 rebs 6 ast 4 blks 50% from field 42% from 3

Interim coach within 3 years.

Getting reminded of this lol

we got Stoops they got O, I think we come out on top…

Wonder how long this will last. Damn good recruiter though

Agreed. Bijan on the 23 team and that’s a national title

Love coach o even though I can’t understand half of what he says

HEY! Hey guys, I’m having a press conference, OK? Thank you!

The content from these two will be hilarious . But seriously great hire.

Sucks talents like d’onta and bijan couldn’t be on winning teams. Bijan left a year too early before sark got this thing rolling for us.

Damn Royal flipping 😂
