The draft can’t get here soon enough.

Can’t spell C@CK S%CKER without OU🤷🏼‍♂️

My World Cup Predictions the rest of the way Round of 32 Egypt def. Australia Argentina def. Cape Verde Colombia def. Ghana Round of 16 Morocco def. Canada France def. Paraguay Brazil def. Norway England def. Mexico Portugal def. Spain USA def. Belgium Argentina def. Egypt Switzerland def. Colombia Quarterfinals France def. Morocco Portugal def. USA England def. Brazil Argentina def. Switzerland Semifinals France def. Portugal Argentina def. England Finals France def. Argentina France gets revenge for 2022 and Mbappe establishes himself as the 2nd best World Cup player of all time, only 2nd to Pele. Was close to picking Norway over Brazil and Mexico over England. I could see those upsets happening. Spain vs Portugal is a toss up even though Portugal haven't looked that great. They were my preseason pick so I wanted them as least making a good run. France and Argentina just feel like the two best teams once again by a solid margin.

the last touchdown that they scored hurt though, was my first Red River😭

Their last TD was the game winner in the 2023 game with like :20 seconds left. That feels like forever ago. Or, 1000 days.

May they go another thousand days!!

Avid soccer watcher of a decade plus. This is the best the USA has ever looked but they'll get knocked out by Spain in the quarter finals. Very proud of team USA. Mexico may legitimately go farther which is crazy to me since the USA has been dog walking them the past couple of years lol but their home field advantage plus elevation have been unsurmountable for the opposition.

No compromise on criminal sooner crap. As a lifetime Lakers fan, I can't stand Austin Reeves. Of course, can't stand Luka either.

So silly. Nothing hard or emotional about it. Texas fans continue to regress to the average sports fan mean. It’s what made the other clique site intolerable. Texas fans used to innately carry themselves differently. Intelligent, witty, and nuanced observations. Now? We’ve assimilated to sec sec sec level comments more often. Things we mocked atm for is now routinely a part of our quiver. I don’t need you to share my view on the current Texas fan but I understand why it doesn’t resonate with you. 🤘🏽

You’re basing this 9-3 premise on a sample size of two. And you’re not considering this will be the first season the SEC plays 9 conference games - which guarantees an additional 8 losses on the collective record of SEC teams. In addition, there are now new rules making it easier for Notre Dame to make the Playoffs, and the guaranteed Playoff spot for the P4 conference champs has returned. The silliness of the first two seasons of the Playoff selection process / committee won’t move forward in perpetuity. There won’t be another season of Tulane and James Madison making the playoffs while Notre Dame and Texas watch from home as two of the first three teams to miss the cut. The new rules will mean 2026 season will be different. This is pretty simple: Rank the top 5 teams in the SEC: Let’s use a ballpark consensus of Georgia, Texas, LSU, OU, and Ole Miss. Now, look at the schedules for each of these teams in 2026. There’s a very good case to be made that only Georgia will win 10 or more games. Maybe Texas. That means the 3rd place team in the SEC will be 9-3, as will the 4th place team. At best. Rank the top 5 teams in the Big Ten: Oregon, Ohio St, Indiana, USC, Michigan. Again, look at the schedules of all 5 teams. There’s a very good case that only two of these teams will finish with 10 wins. And (again), that means the 3rd place team in the Big Ten will be a 9-3 record, and very likely for the 4th place team too. This is the impact of adding an additional conference game to the SEC schedules, while the Big Ten already does. Combine this with the exponentially increasing gap in team quality between the SEC & Big Ten over the other P4 conferences (ACC and Big 12), and it will be inevitable that 9-3 records from the SEC and Big Ten will be awarded Playoff spots over the 10-win records of teams from lesser conferences. This is why I posit that two of the most consequential games of the season are LSU v Clemson, and Ole Miss v Louisville in week #1. Both Ole Miss and LSU will likely lose 3 SEC conference games this season, but both will hammer top quartile ACC programs in Week #1. The empirical evidence will show the ACC is a one team Playoff conference (especially after Notre Dame beats both SMU and Miami as well). As long as the ACC remains a 1-Playoff team conference, that means the SEC & Big Ten will get a collective 7-8 Playoff spots. And since we discussed above that both the 3rd place and 4th place teams in both the SEC and Big Ten will likely be 3-loss teams this season, the simple math says you’ll get at least TWO at-large teams into the Playoffs with 3 losses this season. It is difficult for me to envision a scenario where isn’t a 3-loss at large spot in the 2026 Playoffs (probably at least two spots).

Hampton is special. Unique. Dominant.

Yeah, I came across that after I posted it. It was such a bad call. I’m just hoping we take down Belgium so Balogun can lift us past either Spain/Portugal. #USA #CountryRoads

If we could get Peterson/Autrey and at least one of the big pitchers we could be in really good shape. Obviously Bumila won’t make it to campus but getting Rangel/Harris/Jorgensen would be massive. Hook em’!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

Since OU has scored a touchdown on Texas🤘 Happy early 4th everyone!

This might be the most solid quartet to wear a single number. I'm old enough to have watched 3 of the 4. My dad told me many times over the years about Bedrick's stop. Especially, during SB III while Broadway Joe pulled his Babe Ruth pointing to the fence shot. Still Hampton has to be the highest. A NT leading a team in tackles...

All eyes on Peterson, imo. We know Emerson is gone. We know Brody is gone.

HAMPTON!!!!

MLB Pipeline just released their final draft rankings 1 week before the draft. Here are where the Texas commits and current Longhorns are slotted. Commits: Grady Emerson - #1 Brody Bumila - #23 Cooper Harris - #76 Beau Peterson - #97 Trey Rangel - #156 James Jorgensen - #169 Current Longhorns Aiden Robbins - #29 Carson Tinney - #73 Ruger Riojas - #92 Thomas Burns - #223

I disagree with that. The only team that has made the 12 team CFP with a 9-3 regular season record is Clemson in 2024, and that was only because they won the ACC Championship Game, and the rules in place at the time meant any power four conference champion gets an auto bid to the CFP. Unless Texas makes the SEC Championship game at 9-3 and wins it, they would most likely get left out of the CFP. As would Ohio State in the same scenario.

Haven’t thought about Calvin in quite a while. He was solid in an era of Texas OL play that was anything but. Really liked Parker Braun too. Still remember in one of the early games in 2019, might be before or after LSU(can’t remember exactly) where he pancaked a guy by driving him backward down the field 10-12 yards. Loved it.

No Big 12 teams in the top ten.

Can not choose between Hampton and Studdard, Other two I like a lot also.

I’ll take a different approach. #64 manned by at least two guy that would kick your ass.

We’re 64 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 64 group is loaded with some serious big-man history. Casey Hampton headlines it... two-time First-Team All-American, 2000 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, 329 career tackles, 54 TFL, 5-time NFL Pro Bowler and 2-time Super Bowl champ. One of the best defensive tackles to ever come through Texas. Kasey Studdard was a key piece of the 2005 national title team, who earned All-Big 12 honors in both 2005 and 2006, helped clear the way for one of the most explosive offenses in Texas history, and won the Joseph W. Moore Award for Tenacity, which pretty much sums up the way he played. Bobby Mitchell was a Hall of Honor offensive lineman from the late-60s/early-70s run that included two national titles and three SWC championships. And Frank Bedrick owns one of the biggest individual plays in Texas bowl history: helping stuff Joe Namath on fourth-and-one at the goal line to preserve the Longhorns’ upset of No. 1 Alabama in the 1965 Orange Bowl. Who is your favorite?
