I was at the media scrum when he said that. He is clearly still seeing some ghosts about last season. It almost felt like he was grieving during the media availability. At the same time, he gets the women back in the gym in the next month and I think it’s going to be just fine. He definitely is going to play more freshman more minutes than typical.

What isn't a straight NIL recruitment these days?

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve heard a lot of stories in my life, but I’d never heard the one about Shearer being asked to play goal line defense with one armed taped to his chest.

I really hate Notre Dame but the joy in beating them would be sweet.

Rushing through life and the whole process too quickly.

This is why it’s so funny when it happens to piggy. Especially when this same AD just jobbed us in the CFP.

It’s admirable that he is going this route if he truly is working school and his craft as he is portraying as officials aren’t really necessary if you do your due diligence on UOVs. My officials were just an excuse to party at different colleges after you do the first day of going through the mandated protocols, granted, I wasn’t in football, so it’s probably much different.

They do an amazing job. I miss watching bobby squirm during manscape ad reads. They should get free ad space just to make bobby blush

Serious question for y’all - in today’s NIL world, what kind of money do you think Texas legend Steve McMichael would’ve pulled down? With his game, his personality, and that larger‑than‑life presence, would Mongo have been a seven‑figure NIL guy?

...and why should he? There is an interview where he talked about his excitement coaching the new recruits. Evidently, Aaliyah Crump and Jordan Lee were being recruited all year. Justice Carlton was basically not a good fit and had no choice but to transfer. Coach said he hates losing players but understands the environment. He said he always coaches hard. And that is all he knows. Time to focus on the new team.

He has a point. An extra day of rest and recovery is huge, but he definitely went about it the wrong way unless he had already exhausted other avenues and decided to plea in the court of public opinion.

Sounds like a Tech special.

Yes NIL driven and if he plans to graduate in December, it could be a summer school issue too.

I get the logic, but that’s exactly the problem -Texas shouldn’t have to choose between great home games and the playoff. We’re Texas. We can walk and chew gum. I’ll take Ohio State in the winter and Michigan/Notre Dame in September. If the CFP punishes teams for scheduling real opponents, then the CFP is broken. Fans shouldn’t have to sit through Rice/UTSA/Wyoming just because the committee can’t evaluate strength of schedule. Fix the system so Texas can keep scheduling like Texas.

I don’t post here a lot. But I want to say a huge thank you to Bobby, Gerry, and Blake for what they provide us every morning with Coffee and Football. This morning I took an early flight to Houston for work. As I was driving around Houston in the rain I put on Coffee and Football. We had Brad Shearer on followed by Tony. Man… I was in heaven. Where else can you get one of the all time greats talk about practicing with a dislocated elbow thanks to Earl. Then Tony Hills comes over the top with his typical Wednesday passion. Seriously, where else could we get this content? I actually thought Gerry was just like… let Brad Shearer go… cause he’s killing it. Anyway, I really want to thank you all for all you do for us Orangebloods. There’s nobody even in the same ballpark as you guys. I’m so glad I found yall. Hook’ em!

I'll take Rice in September if it better positions us to play Ohio State in the winter. I think most Texas fans see it that way too.

He’s a great player. But what if he doesn’t get the playing time he wants year 1 then portals for the next highest bidder? This recruitment is tricky to me.

I hear CDC, but I’m sorry - Texas shouldn’t dumb down the schedule because the CFP can’t get its act together. Fans want Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame in Austin, not another round of Rice/UTSA/Wyoming. If the committee punishes teams for playing real games, then the committee is the problem. Texas shouldn’t shrink its brand because the system is confused. Fix the freaking system, and make it happen - keep scheduling like Texas.

If we would have played Rice week 1 last year, we had a decent shot at making a semi final at least. I know the playoff might be expanding, but it still angers me that the committee only looks at the loss column. The game against ND would be amazing, but I value a chance at a championship more. Cancel it.

This guy isn't though.

I would be pissed if UT had to play at those times. Legit complaint.

Gerry never turned down a chance to let us know Ojo was waaaay over ranked by the industry last year.

Even if he’s gonna just go with the highest bidder, you’d think he’d let each school wine and dine him. I would have a tough time turning down free Texas BBQ.

boo hoo
