They're not as sure now

Small nitpick: There is no period after the K. Well, there was there, but that's because my sentence was ending.

That I get. But no one knows exactly when it ends or how folks are notified when there’s extra time added during extra time.

YES. Them be the ones......

The one run by the guy who never leaves his house? Or the one who should never leave his house (ie impaired driver)?

Born July 6, 1924. At the age of 32, Darrell Royal came to the University of Texas campus with a folksy sense of humor and an innovative style of football that produced almost instant success and the lifelong respect and affection of Longhorn fans throughout the world. In Royal’s second year at Texas, the Longhorns played in their first of what would be 16 bowl games over the next 20 years; three for national championships. In 23 years as head coach, he never had a losing season. The Longhorns finished in the top 10 nationally during 11 of those seasons. In 1962, Royal assumed the dual role of Athletics Director and head football coach at the University of Texas. He retired from coaching in 1976 to concentrate on his duties as Athletic Director. Royal hired the nation’s first academic counselor. During his coaching years, four out of five men who lettered for Royal went on to earn their degrees. Darrell Royal’s honors include membership in both the Texas and Oklahoma Sports Halls of Fame and in the Longhorn Hall of Honor. He was twice named Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches and three times by the Football Writers of America.

Here's more great symmetry @Gerry Hamilton. 9 June 1985 was the date the Lakers defeated the Celtics in Boston Garden to win the 1985 title. 9 June 1996 was the date of the greatest draft workout in the history of the world at Inglewood YMCA.

No one runs man all the time. He’s 70 years old so at best he was a short term solution. His heyday was in a different era that was not predominantly 3-3-5 or 4-2-5. What 15-20 years ago? Defenses have evolved a great deal. From what I see, Arizona was 103 in DFEI in 2024. 14th in 2025. Without looking it up, Stanford wasn’t worth much during his tenure. A dude doesn’t get run after a year of there weren’t signs leading into it. Texas and money. Odd choice.

Basically saying "We feel really good, but ya never know!" So covering themselves just in case it does go wrong and they can say that they warned everyone. Term used in betting a lot where you will hedge a bet with a smaller amount just in case so you don't lose entirely.

Thanks for remembering Bud McFadin, probably the most overlooked/underrated Longhorn ever.

Only person that knows for sure is Monshun Sales and his agent. He is represented by Ascend out of Indianapolis who also represented Cole Brevard. They are also certified by the NFLPA, so they are legit. no one on this message board has a legit crystal ball or set of tea leaves that can tell you he is coming here. If he is one of Gerry’s HIs awesome, but I kind of doubt it.

I don’t see any RPM in favor of Texas.

What does that mean hedging?

Yes, Sark said he wants Muschamp to be the HC of the defense, but that does not mean that Muschamp operates outside of Sark's plan. Sark sets the plan, style, strategy, pick a word, and gives Muschamp room to execute on it. Believing that Muschamp can do whatever he wants without any Sark input is...something.

Indiana mods update this morning. They feel good about Sales but Texas is making it interesting. Sounds like hedging to me

Shoutout to Tillman Holloway and his face mask that looked like it was made out of Legos.

Here's more kobe v shaq stuff for you @Gerry Hamilton. I don't remember the exact date, but it was something like 16 June 1996 that I read Jerry West was going to move heaven and earth to get Kobe. Source scoffed at the report that Jerry West said "Kobe would be the best player in the world some day." I was listening to OMD Enola Gay at the time when I read the report. Of course, that OMD song was about the day the US used the first atomic bomb in the history of the world.

Might want to go back and read posts on here and watch interviews about when Muschamp was hired.

It’s based on how much time is wasted on things like injured players rolling around, celebrations after goals, etc. There is a time keeper who has a stopwatch when all that is taking place and radios it down to the ref afaik.

Sark is the HC not Muschamp when it comes to coaching staff and support staff. Muschamp will run the defense game plan and play calling.

Someone posted an RPM 70% Texas yesterday. Just based on vibes?

Akina wasn’t an odd choice. Akina is man coverage aggressive style secondary and that didn’t mesh with PK’s defense. I bet Akina’s secondary does well this year if he is given the opportunity to run the style of secondary he likes.
