Can't Stand Joey McGuire, Can't Stand Kevin Mar
Bunk Moreland replied to GetHooked's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Joey McGuire is a mid football coach of a mid football program who was given a blank check to purchase success. It’s really that simple. Everyone outside of Lubbock knows this to be true.- 1 reply

Is it time to fire the NCAA completely? The NCAA has been driving the bus from the back seat most of its existance and doesn't really provide any direction, enforcement or purpose. Is it time for the schools to decide via their own conference by laws how they want to participate. Certainly the ADs can figure out where their school fits in. If I'm in a conference that wants to spend money, travel cross country and play in fromt of TVs then these are the rules we agree too play by. Schools can self police the conference and, by contract, punish and expel those who don't want to comply with the agreed to conference rules. Smaller schools may decide to have a different emphasis and set an agenda to play regional games with other less funded (or sports driven) schools. The goal maybe to provide entertainment and some level of on campus interest to their school without going bankrupt. Number of scholarships, salary caps, number of games played, recruiting rules can all be set by conference contract. Hey, I'm East Compass Point University and I want to challenge you Goliath-let's set up a game in April! Why not? Most of the structure currently in place wouldn't really change without the NCAA. The difference is the schools and conferences would determine their own rules and champions- maybe they challenge either other in the end too! But, the schools would be able to determine their own paths without paying for non-existant services.

The committee chair seriously needs to get involved in politics. He can spin his story as good as any politician can. He’s never wrong, despite all evidence to the contrary. Desmond Howard can you please shut up? I am so tired of him saying Ohio State has played nobody. Even win other people say Texas, he’s silent and then repeats the same thing. Same guy that talked about Coach leaving.

How about a ontexas football town hall special livestream this weekend to discuss the playoffs issue. I understand there some want to move on to recruiting or to 2026 but could be useful to have a meeting of minds solely on this issue and come up with ideas/ strategies to ensure committee accountability. Does the sport need a collection of appointed watchdogs from across the country tasked with overseeing this process throughout the season Could be respected and knowledgeable business or community leaders who love the sport and have the time and organizational capabilities.

No conference should get a guaranteed number of teams. Things change over time and power shifts are going to happen-especially with NIL free agency. Texas Tech comes to mind. The biggest problem with the committe is it doesn't have a unified goal for the post season. Do you want the best match ups? The highest revenue generation? Need to include smaller schools to recognize their season? Want to repeat conference match ups in the post season? They don't know what they want to do. Does Texas Tech vs MIami draw any attention? Would fans travel to see Oregon vs OLe Miss this year? Does a Texas A&M rematch with Notre Dame have any appeal? At least the original bowl system found interesting match ups and competitive games. Here's a thought -market based rankings. Fans send cash to the NCAA to vote for their team. The two teams raising the most cash play for the championship. The next highest revenue teams play for 3rd and foulrth etc. Or, in th altemative market based system, there is only one post season game allowed per team after the season. There are no bowl/conference affiliations. Bowls bid for teams at the end of the season. The two teams attracting the highest dollar bowl play for the Championship, the next highest paid pair play for 3rd and 4th etc. Let TV bid on the bowls after the teams are announced. Bowls will have to compete for teams making the teams alot of $$$$. Since we are all about the money now let the market decide. Didn't get a bowl bid? Challenge someone and split the gate. (Don't get excited, this is clearly not a serious proposal, but it probably makes as much sense as a committee that has different ideas about what they are trying to do with the post season.) One serious thought about the post season, all teams should have the option of practicing until the final game is played and not just the ones in the playoffs. That practice time is a huge advantage to teams with an extended season.

O-Line for Texas

John F. pretty much nailed it. -
Both tackles if Goosby doesn’t go to the draft. Conner Robertson at center if he returns or Daniel Cruz could compete for it in his third year. At guard - ?

If Texas is going to the portal for offensive line, who do we currently have that has the ability to be a starter next year? I haven't heard any names mentioned other than going to the portal?

CBSSports' Matt Zenitz is reporting that Lane Kiffin will retain edge rushers coach Kevin Peoples. Why is this significant? There were whispers that LSU would target, or at least have communications with LaAllen Clark for their edge position. Clark is a native of Baton Rouge. Clark was signed last year and just helped the Texas Longhorns pass rushers put up major numbers in 2025. Texas, as a defense, currently ranks 3rd in the country with 38.0 sacks this season.

Hunter Yurachek flat out lied about Texas
Here for the Wins replied to CHorn427's topic in On Texas Football Forum
He may not be quite prepared for the pressure. Really, he can’t win no matter what he does. i do not see the justification for having Ole Miss in front of the Aggies. That could be incredibly significant in that one gets the 11 seed the other gets the 10. I’m not completely certain that Oregon deserves it either. But pushing the Aggies down to 7 and Vandy at 14 diminishes those two wins slightly. There is bad information out there. Saban just said Miami kicked Notre dames ass. Kicked the game winner with 1 minute left. They outgained them by 25 yards. Miami got two turnovers in scoring position. They got 1 first down and 3 points. For a game at home, that’s not ass kicking. But the world views it as such now.
