All Activity

I think Sark will audit everything after the season, staff included.

Just FYI... Bobby is en route to Baton Rouge so he's not going to get back to some of these comments until later. I will do my best Bobby to address some of them now.

As Charles Barkley once said I'd root for Afghanistan first before I'd root for them

Bobby, thank you for being real about the rankings. Not sure why everyone in the world seems scared or hesitant to act like all wins are not equal. South Carolina, Mizzou, and LSU would all spank UCLA, Tech, Wake Forest, Houston etc. Also, why is Miami ranked at 7? ND was in their spot last week with wins vs nobody and a loss vs the only good team they played and was ranked 11. Miami has not earned 7 at all. ND has not earned 5 at all either. Beat a fake #1 without their superstar. 24 team playoff will at least expose the frauds in the early rounds I guess. If this year was 24, as of yesterday’s rankings Tech would host LSU in the first round. Can’t wait to watch teams like them get trounced.

Texas still 8 at KenPom after all the games last night ... https://kenpom.com/

Yep. Good call!

bon temps cafe is a hidden gem. crawfish etoufee pot pie. i thought i'd died and gone to heaven.

Excellent suggestions

Okay, cool. Hook 'em. Give me a fact based counter. I'll wait.

Not saying IT is telling the truth, but it wouldn’t make sense for him to sit and make a “business decision.” He has underperformed and Texas is still in playoff contention. I’d understand that more if he was in Jeremiah Smiths position. Of course, it’s IT so they’ll pass off speculation as facts.

Big 12 had a night. Tech upsetting Illinois, KU destroying Kentucky, KSU beating Creighton. 12-0 overall for the conference.

Peche is great, I was in NOLA three weeks ago and James Carville was at the table next to us. For late night, the rooftop bar at the top of the Ponchatrain Hotel (its called Hot Tin) on St. Charles is the go to spot for locals. If you have 4 hours on Friday, the WW2 Museum is a must see - amazing experience, there is no other WW2 museum like it.

I've always had good food at Three Muses on Frenchmen St. Eat there at night and you'll be sure to see music on the corner outside.

Winston has the best hand of them all. Masunas is slow as molasses, but he can block.

just win your next 3 and life will sort out .

This technically implies the on field refs screw over Texas the most

Hey everyone, Payton here, intern with On Texas Football. With the new CFP Rankings dropping last night, I wanted to see how the landscape shapes up, compiling the teams into tiers, with their remaining schedule where applicable. Here is where Texas stands and who Longhorn fans should be rooting against the rest of the way: Texas sits at No. 6 with a 7-2 record. Here is the top 12 as it stands: Georgia, Utah, Alabama, UCLA, Notre Dame, Texas, Miami, Tennessee, Indiana, BYU, Kentucky and Texas Tech. The SEC has five of the top 11. The biggest mover was Indiana, which fell from No. 4 to No. 9 without playing a game. The landscape is good for Texas but not safe. One of the 12 spots goes to the best Group of Five champion, and right now that is No. 24 Boise State. That means the real cut line sits at No. 11, and there are seven teams ranked between No. 8 and No. 21 that can still potentially play their way past a two or three loss Texas team in the committee's eyes. ESPN’s Allstate Playoff Predictor gives the Longhorns a 76% chance to make the field. This Saturday can decide most of it. If Texas beats LSU, that number jumps to 95% and LSU is finished at less than 1%. From there Texas could even drop one of its last two games and still sit around 85%. If Texas loses to LSU, the number falls to 58% and LSU climbs back to 37%. Texas would be 7-3 with no room left for error. Winning the last two would get the Longhorns back to 82%, at that point the committee is comparing resumes, and what the teams below do starts to matter a lot. I separated the teams in the race into tiers to make it more digestable. All But Locks: Georgia, Utah, Alabama and Miami. All four sit at about 90% or better. They are not worth rooting against because one loss probably does not knock any of them out. Likely In: UCLA, Notre Dame and Indiana. It would take an unlikely upset or two to push any of them out. UCLA is at 61% with Michigan and USC still on the schedule, and Indiana is at 75%, right around where Texas is sitting. Threats: Tennessee, BYU, Kentucky, Texas Tech, Wake Forest, USC and LSU. These teams are fighting for the same spots Texas is. Their odds range from 14% for USC to 52% for Wake Forest, but most of them climb past 90% if they win out. Every one of them is a loss away from likely elimination. Bubble Threats: Houston, Iowa, Oregon, South Carolina, Arizona and SMU. One more loss for each and Texas can stop worrying about them. Texas also holds the head to head over Ole Miss and Ohio State, who both already have three losses, which is why they weren't included. Outside of Texas and LSU, here are the five games to watch this weekend. Tennessee at Texas A&M. Root for the Aggies just this once. Tennessee dropping to the 9-3 cut line would ensure on Selection Sunday that they wouldn't take up a spot for us due to our H2H win. A loss drops the Vols from 49% to 23%, and ESPN is giving A&M about a 42% chance to do it. Florida at Kentucky. Root for Florida. Kentucky is only at 30% now, but the Wildcats jump to 99% if they win out, so this is the week that can end it. A loss takes them to 10%. A Gators win also makes the Texas schedule look stronger, which might matter when comparing resumes in the committee room. USC at Indiana. Root for Indiana. It might seem backwards to root for a team ranked near Texas, but a USC win wouldn't eliminate Indiana. Even with a loss to USC, Indiana would not be out of it. ESPN would still give the Hoosiers a 34% chance, and that climbs to 46% if they win their last two. The Trojans would jump from 14% to 48% with UCLA still on the schedule. An Indiana win drops USC to 4% and takes a team off the docket. Wake Forest at SMU. Root for SMU. Wake has the best odds of any Threat at 52%, and Miami is the favorite to take the ACC’s automatic spot, which means Wake is competing with Texas for an at large bid. A loss drops the Demon Deacons to 20%. Texas Tech at Oklahoma State. Root for Oklahoma State. The No. 25 Cowboys are at home and favored by 3.5 points, so this is one a Threat is actually expected to lose. Tech is 8-1 and would climb to 96% by winning out (although that may imply a CCG win), but a loss cuts the Red Raiders from 40% to 18%. Also keep an eye on Baylor at BYU, where a loss would drop the Cougars from 41% to 5%. Which of these five games matters most for Texas? And if the Longhorns lose Saturday, do you still think they get in?

Great story, really demonstrates the huge advantage that we enjoy being in Austin instead of hick towns like College Station, Starkville, Lubbock, etc.......

I know we have been inconsistent and the team def surprised me last week with the offense, but its crazy that everyone is making it sound like LSU is a guarantee win. Even Josh Pate that has picked against texas multiple times and still continues to do it.

Good stuff @Bobby Burton Another key off season question… Will Sark make the move to upgrade the OL by replacing Flood? PK was replaced (though he didn’t display any grievous shortcomings) in an effort to produce an elite defense - mission accomplished. For two years we have seen too many negative gains in the running game, too many times had our QB running for his life, and witnessed unresolved OL issues continuing through most of the season. This type of performance doesn’t seem like the best way to attract and retain elite skill players on offense. OR win national championships. This off season it seems like it is time to go to the “coaching portal” for a new OL coach. That seems like the prudent move - or am I missing something?

i'll add: you need to do cafe du monde and eat the beignets on a bench in jackson square. but...if you really just need a beignet and cafe au lait fix, the location in city park is usually much less crowded and the park is nice.

If schools were required to hold athletes to the same transfer rules as regular students it wouldn’t be like that.

I would suggest we look at 2 things: Texas based players that have excelled and would love to come home for their last year.....Makuba, Trey Moore, Cryer, Brad Spence Punch (BB), Swann (Softball). Since we recruit nationally, there are so many Texas players that we didn't have room for (Leanord Moore, Lacy at Ole Miss, Anthony Evans) Great all conference players on average teams - Biles, Cryer, Geffrard, Mascoe Spending NIL on offensive lineman that sit on the bench for 2 years is not the best use of resources
