I'll always wonder what would have happened if Royal hadn't of passed on the wishbone knowledge to Switzer and Bryant.

Thank you very much, @Bevo92! Was a fun time with Crain & Co. I really enjoyed it!

Bringing this back to the top for anyone who hadn’t caught CJ on Crain & Co. Great interview. 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Listening to Ramonce Taylor this morning in Coffee & Football got me fired up to go back and watch highlights from that great game from 20 yrs ago against #4 Ohio State. Can’t wait for 2025 season to kick off and avenge loss that ended last season. Couple things jumped out after rewatching highlights: 1) This game could have easily gone either way. Momentum swung from Texas in Q1 to Ohio State in Q2 and Q3 back to Texas in Q4 2) We all remember Vince’s heroics in big moments but he was human as well and made some really bad decisions in Q2 and Q3 of this game that led to 2 interceptions, giving the Buckeyes the momentum. Overall, Vince was Superman though as the leading rusher (especially in Q1) and 22 of 29 passing for 2 TDs and 270 yards. Jamal Charles didn’t do much. 3) Man our defense (especially our secondary) was all-world back in the day. 4) I remember when watching the game real-time 20 yrs ago and again now on re-watch, thinking Jim Tressel helped the Horns with the way he kept rotating Justin Zwick with Troy Smith at QB, despite the team playing much better when Smith was leading the offense. 5) Ramonce Taylor saved a massive play when he nearly got tackled twice for safety and instead ran it out for 40 yard gain. 6) Billy Pittman played like a man possessed for 130 yards receiving and a TD. 7) Even with Mack during his best season, we struggled to score TD on 4th down at the 1-yard line with clock winding down and Henry Melton got stuffed. Turnover on downs. 8. Defense came up big with tackle for safety to end game. 25-22. Can’t wait for next 60 days to fly by and let’s get this game going. Time for the Arch Era to start. Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

What facts? Nattys? AJ McCarron and Stetson Bennett also won 2 national championships. Other measures more relevant when defining great QB play. He was a great running QB who averaged around 3000 yds per season throwing and 66% accuracy. His final season, Tebow declined as he through only 21 TDs.

Agree. Surprised by the reference to Tim Tebow as well.

I'd imagine the over hit 90 seconds into RT's appearance.

Good post and thought process. I think it can hurt some, but not overwhelmingly so.

I can’t wait to see the Tennessee fans lose their sh!t when they see Peyton in a Texas Longhorn shirt.

I'm more than glad I'm here, Blackshan!

There was a time when inserting a Mike Price joke here would've killed. Another sign that I'm not getting younger.

Straight facts

It's less about the recruiting strategy and more about maximizing the talent on campus. Texas is every bit as talented and in some ways more so than in the seasons leading up to the national title under Mack. The pressure comes in looking back at this time in the program's history a decade or more from now and feeling as though too much meat was left on the bone.

Thank you for reading it, LTWOTIMES!

Thanks for the kind words. It sure feels like Texas is primed for another run of excellence.

At 41 years old, I appreciate dad humor now more than ever. When my 7-year-old starts rolling her eyes at my jokes, I feel like I'm winning at life! In all seriousness, the ones that really got away from Mack were the potential back-to-back titles in '08 and '09. I thought Texas was the most complete team in the country in '08, which is the year Colt should've won the Heisman.

Thanks, Drew Lockhart!

Some of the best Texas defenses ever were put together during the Fred Akers era.

Tim Tebow was not a better college QB than Joe Burrow or Cam Newton.

May God bless Archibald Charles Manning with steadfast wisdom, deep humility, and an unyielding drive to achieve more as he inspires and leads our team.
