Texas has landed a really intriguing addition in the portal with Campbell outfielder Carlos Lugo. Lugo put together an outstanding true freshman season in 2026, earning First Team All-CAA and CAA All-Rookie Team honors after hitting .347 with a team-high 77 hits. He started 54 games, posted 25 multi-hit games, drew 32 walks, and put together a 15-game hitting streak during the season. He also earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors four different times. Lugo isn’t just an outfielder, either. He made eight relief appearances on the mound, posting a 3.48 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 10.1 innings and recording his first career save late in the season. Coming out of Calvary Christian Academy in Florida, Lugo hit .494 as a senior with 12 doubles, seven home runs and 17 stolen bases, while finishing in the top 10% of his graduating class academically. With this commitment, Texas adds another proven bat with multiple years of eligibility.

Big 10 Commish on if bill isn't passed. https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/2082133809865031721?s=20

Great to see this after two years cut short due to ACL injuries. Hope to see J Brooks succeed this year!

Would love to get my guy Dan Neil and his take on the o line and how they can gel and improve this season.

This!!

The misconception here is that the media-rights fight is about forcing the SEC and Big Ten into a TV pool. It never was. Joining has always been voluntary. The real question is whether the final bill keeps enough incentives, or consequences, that "voluntary" quietly turns into "you'd better join." Postseason access was the actual lever, which is why Sankey went after it. Take that out and the section sits in the bill doing nothing. Those two keep cutting their own deals, and a pool without their inventory isn't the $4-8 billion everybody's been selling. So: political win for Cody Campbell, policy win for the SEC and Big Ten. He gets to say Congress passed a national framework. They get to say they protected the model that already runs the sport. But did we fix anything? The biggest spenders are already operating around these caps through associated entities. If the bill just legalizes what they're already doing, that's not a ceiling, that's a floor.

This fooled me for a second. AI is getting really good.

It’s going to happen and going to be huge!

Can’t wait to see what UT could pull! Nike research all the universties and UT was #1

What?!?!

Great show always love hearing from coach Vic. Thanks guys 🤘🏼

Great segment with Coach Schaefer. The shark story was great. Jesus walked on water. If that happened to me, I'd ran on water

Dellenger posted latest revisions so we will see. The NIL HS part will be challenged I'm sure. Or a bunch will try to reclassify asap. https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/2082085881221919018?s=20

Vic was great this morning

This. He was the QB when I was a kid and I first started watching UT. Would be great to have him on

I don't know if we'd get him on Coffee & Football, but I think it would be awesome if we could do something with Chris Simms. I don't believe he's done any Texas-related interviews since he left. It's time to give Chris his flowers and formally welcome him back to the program.

We had Royal Ivey on our live show in Houston last summer. That was a fun time.

Shoutout to Tyrone Jones. Mack signing those four guys from Texas City in his first class (Jones, Everick Rawls, Jermaine Anderson and Ervis Hill) was the first step in Texas dominating in-state recruiting.

Him and J Whitt would be a nice combo

Pass defense was unsatisfactory in 4 of the 5 seasons PK was here. They finished outside the top 60 in every season outside of 2024. It cost them a chance to play for a national championship in 2023 IMO when Penix just absolutely shredded the secondary. I don't blame the defense for the Ohio State loss in 2024, but that screen pass right before the half completely shifted the momentum of that game. The comments Sark made this offseason about Muschamp being able to handle that side of the ball completely is probably the biggest factor though. PK had some troubles tying his fronts to the coverages. He brought in Patterson in 2022 and that seemed to help quite a bit. I don't think it was a coincidence that when he left in 2023 that they took a pretty big step backwards. Then in 2024 PK brought in Nansen to help, and that's when we saw the improvements in the secondary. It also didn't hurt that they were experienced and brought in a guy like Mukuba on top of that. Lastly, Sark wants to be more aggressive on that side of the ball. The one game that really bothered me the last year was the Florida game. Lagway had a bad calf and was essentially playing on 1 leg. PK decided that not blitzing and playing soft zone coverage that day was what he wanted to do, and inevitably it failed, miserably. The Miss. St. game also stood out to me. Same game plan really to the Florida game, but when they got down by 3 scores in the 4th quarter, it forced him to be more aggressive. When they started bringing pressure and speeding up Shapen, they had a ton of success. Makes you wonder what that game had looked like had PK been more aggressive from the jump. I also think Anthony Hill was misused in 2025. He was at his best when he was playing close to or at the line of scrimmage in passing situations. We just didn't see as much of that as we did in 2024 and it shows in his production. It hurt his draft stock a bit IMO.
