Where are they going to go with that money? What meat is left on the bone? Is international close to being the only option?

It’s a little bit of both, the Oline especially in the first 5-6 games were TERRIBLE. Those boys couldn’t even get a solid push against UTEP. The Oline and WR core as well never really helped Arch grow up, he had to do it himself. I do agree with the whole arch had his own struggle cause he did, but our WRS and OL ended up being more of a detriment to the season than Arch. It’s gotta be better this year Arch too but that OL has to take the biggest jump this year.

Arch was a red shirt sophomore, so stop with the lack of knowledge crap!

Assignment soundness didn't seem to be a concern in the previous 3 years with a more veteran line, which we have again this year. Perhaps it was a one-off. We will find out.

It's the OL missing assignments that concern me. That feels like coaching, and I worry that hasn't changed. Arch got healthy, new WRs, more time spent together, new OLs, all these transformed bodies, but did Flood get better? I have been a Flood supporter, but honestly and sincerely, I am starting to doubt.

LMAO.... The “Texas failed Arch” take is peak August desperation from a dude who needs clicks like oxygen. Arch was a true freshman who needed weight, timing, and Sark’s install --- not tossed into garbage‑time clown snaps so some YouTube film bro could pause clips and pretend he’s uncovering state secrets. This is the same guy who watches three plays, declares himself a QB guru, and somehow still manages to misunderstand all three. Texas didn’t fail Arch. Texas protected him. The film guy needed clicks, a headline, and maybe a helmet so he stops injuring himself with his own analysis.

Interesting video title when one of the first clips he shows is Arch missing Wingo from 5 yards away from a perfectly clean pocket and he talks for 2 minutes about how many easy throws Arch missed the whole season. But I guess the title "Arch had his own struggles and Texas failed to support him at times" doesn't quite get the clicks that "TEXAS FAILED ARCH" does.

He’s not wrong. You have a generational QB on your bench for 2 years and you give him one of the worst O lines in the country when he finally gets the starting job. This year is Sark and Floods chance to make up for that.

He is 100% correct. OL/TE/WR were horrific last year and Arch was left out to dry. False starts, poor blocking, lack of blitz recognition, over 8% of Arch's passes were dropped (led the nation by more than 5%), and false start after false start plagued us every game and every series. Kyle Flood makes 1.8 million... it's his damn job to get the OL $hi7 right.

My point exactly! Last year is done, and I believe they've addressed the situation as best they can.

Everyone failed everything last year

I think the media failed Arch Manning and Texas, in general, more than the offensive line. Last year is done though. Move on. Look forward. Changes for the better have been made. Noone is making ludicrous projections about our team this season thankfully.

That was eviscerating on Flood. Instead of Sark babysitting the defense he can babysit the O line this year

@Gerry Hamilton you are the biggest flood defender here care to add anything 👀👀

Look, I have never been on the fire Coach Flood bus, but Brook Austin exposes some real concerning OL play. Especially late in the season. If Cole Hutson is the best option we have at LG, God help us. Texas Failed Arch Manning Last Year

The Ohio State Buckeyes recently kicked off their fall practice by hosting an "NFL Open Practice" style event for fans, and word is they might hold a few more. This marks a potential shift in how major programs approach fall camp. In today's NIL and facility "arms race," is any extra revenue stream worth pursuing if it also gives fans a fun, unique experience? How do we feel about this overall? How much would you personally be willing to pay to attend one of these open practices?

I pray that Tenn doesn't draft Manning

Not trying to be mean to Weaver … but no he wasn’t. Opponents literally didn’t guard him. Texas was playing 4 on 5 on offensive end. Love his hustle and effort. Always loved his attitude, but he just never developed offensively.

He is so different than his sister Kennedy. She is an exceptional talent but can't stick with a WNBA team due to her attitude.

...I was in grad school during the Ricky years and would go to as many practices as I could to see the team. One of my best memories was seeing Ricky get a swing pass and run down the sidelines. He took my breath away. He was fast and muscle on muscle. Basically unstoppable. I also got to talk to coaches on a few occasions. Such great memories. Later that semester, Ricky had a class next to mine and we chopped it up a few times a week. Being as I was from L.A., we had the California experience to talk about. He was always polite! Love that dude.

A classic

Sipping Jack and Coke from a Dixie Cup while smoking a cigarette on the sidelines while the defense is on the field….Classic!

I was talking about the Wooden specifically. Pretty clear who the cream of the crop teams are though.
