Does Polymarket or Kalshi have odds of him never playing again bc how do I place that bet

As we continue the countdown to the 2026 Texas football season, today’s spotlight falls on one of the premier defensive line numbers in Longhorn history: No. 98. 1. Brian Orakpo (2005-08) Few defensive players in Texas history can match what Brian Orakpo accomplished in burnt orange. The Houston native capped his career with one of the greatest individual seasons ever by a Longhorn defender in 2008, earning unanimous All-American honors while sweeping some of college football’s most prestigious awards. Orakpo won the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Ted Hendricks Award while also being named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. He finished his Texas career with 132 tackles, 38 tackles for loss and 22 sacks and was a member of the 2005 national championship team. When discussing the greatest defensive ends in school history, Orakpo’s name is always near the top of the list. 2. Tony Brackens (1992-95) Before Orakpo, there was Tony Brackens. One of the most dominant defensive players of the Southwest Conference era, Brackens earned Consensus All-American honors in 1995 and was a three-time First-Team All-SWC selection. Brackens finished his Texas career with 24 sacks and played a major role in the Longhorns’ final Southwest Conference championship. His combination of power, athleticism and production helped launch a lengthy NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he became one of the franchise’s all-time great defenders. He remains one of the most underrated stars in Texas football history. 3. Moro Ojomo (2018-22) Moro Ojomo may not have the trophy case of Orakpo or Brackens, but he did have an impact A five-year Longhorn who appeared in 50 career games, Ojomo became a key leader during Texas’ climb back into national contention under Steve Sarkisian. His leadership, toughness and steady play helped lay the foundation for the program’s resurgence. Ojomo was a multi-year starter, helped Texas win the 2022 Alamo Bowl and was part of the roster that launched the Longhorns back into the College Football Playoff era before moving on to the NFL. No. 98 has been home to some outstanding defensive linemen over the years. Now it’s your turn: Who is the greatest Longhorn to ever wear No. 98? Who is your favorite?

When Roger Staubach threw that late long desperation heave to Drew Pearson in Minnesota back in the day he called it a "Hail Mary." Tech trying an off-the-field legal and administrative move reminiscent of Staubach's pass. Difference being that Tech's try has even less chance of success. Hook 'Em!

excellent read, Jeff. And THANK YOU, I'm sick of reading about those turdknockers.P

He said a whole lot of nothing

Additionally, the Big10 would never accept what Tom Brady called a glorified community college and the SEC doesn’t need a rodeo clown like Cody Campbell.

I have spent a good amount of time in west Texas and around west Texas folks, Tech grads mostly, and they are generally really good hard working honest folks. I really hope the judges in Lubbock look at this kid, the coaches and administrators, agents, and the circus and tell them that regardless of how this may impact a football season they will not ever support an injunction like this. If you bet on your team you’re done, period. Morality from a judge and court, what a novel concept lol.

Not so sure about that … He’s very well respected and looked up to in HS coaching community I do think he’s taking a big hit behind the scenes in coaching community right now

My nephew played with Troy son. I went to a couple of the games. He is always teaching, no matter. Great guy, we need more of that teaching college and youngsters in travel baseball. Troy impressed me as a person. No matter he takes time out to teach.

Texas is up and at it this morning for round two

Yep, Campbell is all in, and the flip card is coming.

"... taking a new position in his letter this week," of course after the president of Tech received a counseling session from his Spiritual Advisor Cody Campbell. Hook 'Em!

Those in the profession already know of this assclown and his antics.

How did Tech not see this coming? You dont do background checks before sending 6 million to a kid. Then you double down, destroying a head coach and athletic director, in the process. Tech fans at least the normal ones have to be going, Did we sell our souls for this. Only the Big 12 once them. Freaking shame, real shame. There should be a more intense investigation by state and federal agency into the dealings of Tech. I bet these is only the tip to a lot more issues. Then you have Ted Cruz taken the side of cody Campbell, you have to be stupid.

It’s not naive. It’s a choice.

They’re not courting Tech, regardless.

Too early for me. Got to see who the real players will be. I feel like Texas will be in a final two. Texas will be very competitive in NIL.

That’s what a normal person would think. But Cody Campbell probably spent $6m to sign you so you probably have some sort of duty to see it through.

If I was the president at Tech and he said that he’d be looking for a new job completely unacceptable imo

Lubbock Tech Soft Raiders.

Can we stop using the name “Texas” in front of Tech? What an embarrassment to the state.

Given how the Tech staff has handled this situation, if the SEC and B10 break away would things like this keep either conference from courting Tech?

I can't even fathom how I would feel if my university not only condoned but engaged such behavior. Sad.
