Some thing is cooking!! Ben Wells reposted

Just came here to say the same thing. We could use a viking in the middle of our defense.

Okay now I’m curious to see what you were thinking if it’s legal to put it on the internet, please share. If not, let’s not

Can we get Haaland to play linebacker this year?

He coaches with a lot of passion

Good Lord. The 8th graders he is at camp with are not small kids either.

So it’s us v Belgium. Then either Spain/Portugal. Then France or Morocco. Bring it on.

That’s a dang good one. Occasionally, I’ll admit, we do miss them. Keeping up with hundreds of players across 100 diff numbers is definitely a tall task.

Do yall think the line moves more in our favor with Balogun? We were a sliiimmmm favorite yesterday. I wonder what Balogun back in play does for us on that front.

I wonder if Johnny Nansen will be UT LB coach after one season with Muschamp. Do their styles mesh?

Lyle Sendlein.

Yep…it’s why we have generally underachieved in the big 3 with baseball being the outlier but it has also been 20 years now since we’ve produced a title there. You hear it with some of the mods here and fans, “we made it to Omaha.”

Something tells me that FIFA didn't want the extra publicity that this was growing into. Also - the play of Bosnia was borderline rugby-like. Pulling on jerseys, extremely physical. Yet when our chap gets tangled up with theirs they whip out the red card.

Those ranking reward quantity. South Carolina had to sign a completely new roster. 24 guys. Missouri would crawl over broken glass for our current portal class. Taking a handful of impact players > taking 15 average joes. Prime example: the #4 “best” portal class last year belonged to…..South Carolina. The #15 “best” portal class belonged to…Texas. Which one was actually better?

Yes. But to those who would panic in response: again, "2026 portal rankings" are not "overall 2027 roster rankings." If you lose your whole team or they all sucked, then you need to go heavy in the portal (and have money to do so). When you return a bunch of production, you don't need to go as heavy in the portal (and don't have as much money to do so anyway). Does Texas still have needs to fill? Absolutely. But we shouldn't conflate "portal rankings" with "how good we will be in 2027"

I had no idea what to expect when clicking on this thread, but "relief" would probably best describe what I felt.

Goodness...

Good family friend. BMac all the way then Sendlein

You beat me to it and I totally agree! I was going to say there was a consensus all American that played for the 69 national champions that wore #62 and he was pretty doggone good: Bob McKay!

Count me in on Bob McKay. Second everything CoChamps said.

One more reason that one should not get carried away with the rankings. They are helpful, but certainly not perfect.
