And stealing 2nd

Sanchez has UT on his radar with Muschamp as DC.

I don't understand Smith shutting it down for the year. He's being paid to play, so either play or forfeit your pay.

Legend Bey would be the guy I want on offense. Instantly addresses Slot WR opening for 2027, allowing Bishop to move out to X full-time. Effectively, replaces Easton Royal going forward.

It’s a smart play by Littleton. By taking a knee, Littleton cost Mizzou their 2 remaining timeouts AND burned another 50 seconds of clock time…while still giving Texas a two-score lead. The last part is the most inportant point: whether Texas ran the ball in for the TD, or simply took a knee 3 times and kicked the FG, the result is the same - a two score lead for Texas. Littleton’s choice simply cost Mizzou both timeouts and :50 seconds. By contrast, IF Littleton would’ve chosen to score the TD, then Mizzou has 1:40 to play and two timeouts, but they would still be trailing by two scores.

That plus its Senior Night for LSU so they'll definitely be up for it for sure.

His play would have only made sense, if Mizzou couldn't stop the clock. They had 2 timeouts and forced us into an awkward decision to either go for it or kick a FG. (I'm glad Sark punched it in) Graceson was overthinking it.

I don't think it's the end yet, but it's trending that way. Of course it depends on what we're defining as the trending down and the end. For me, the trending down is against the expectations that (again we've been spoiled) Texas is hosting until it gets to weekend where they have no choice but to travel, and really expect to be in the final four. While this is an absurdly high bar, it's one that Texas has achieved consistently. I disagree with the comparison to Stanford due to your point on NIL - the Stanfords of the world won't decide to compete in NIL and that's their choice. Texas has the resources where NIL should not be a factor - they may not be the best a la Nebraska, but they'll certainly be in the top tier. My personal expectation (whether realistic or not) is that Texas is a top 4 volleyball program year in and year out with Nebraska being the other one that has the same expectation. This might be because I started watching Texas volleyball when it was the Haley and Baily show and so have pretty much been spoiled with an elite program.

Where are you seeing 3-4 B1G teams? As of right now, its looking like UCLA & Indiana only for that conference. Its looking more like it'll be the following conference breakdown for the cfp: Notre Dame (1) G6 (1) - Boise St or New Mexico ACC (2) - Miami & Wake Forest Big 12 (2) - Utah & one of BYU/Tech B1G (2) - Indiana & UCLA SEC (4) - Georgia, Alabama, Texas & Tennessee

100% even the one he missed in the OU, had the distance just hooked it a bit.

You could just watch sets 2 and 3. Texas blasted Vanderbilt off the court in those two sets. Practically the entire team hit over .300. Stafford, Spears, Anderson, Bunton, and Harvey. Only Gaido didn't. It's a disappointing loss, but the team didn't play badly. Vanderbilt just played better. Oh, I should say Harris started the game but was pulled in favor of Swindle, so if you're a huge fan of Swindle there's that.

That would be awesome!

Yup! I love and hate this play!! Love that he had the situational awareness and selflessness to slide and force them to use their timeouts as well as effectively guaranteeing a 2 score victory. Hate it because, you earned that obscure that TD my man!! Either way hell of a kid and football player!

They did an interview with him after he got here. Essentially he said he is here for a year and then the NBA. Guys will go even if they should stay. He’s a small power forward with not much of a face up game. Unless he really improves on that his draft status won’t change if he stays two years. It does not mean he will though. Does Texas want to pay him the same amount next year considering Spears Jr backs him up now?

Yea I was watching lol I’m all for the slide

What a game!

If we had shown we could recover onside kicks I would consider it a bad decision. Given our unreliability in that area, it could be argued Missouri made the mistake by not letting us go ahead and score on the first play so they could get the ball back with more time on the clock, to score a TD and then do an onside kick. I believe Littleton made the right decision, and Missouri probably made the wrong decision, even if they had stopped Texas from scoring the TD. Time was arguably a bigger enemy at that point than turning the one score lead into a two score lead.

I agree it was an unselfish play and a high iq play. He knew he could have scored and did that anyway. To me it was unselfish but it was also another confidence piece drive offense. He said, here ya go offense…. I’m showing confidence in yall to handle business…. Go put the stamp on this

They scored a td and took a little more time off.

I think he should have scored. Understand his thinking, especially after watching us with onside kicks. But our D was totally shutting down.

This

I’m going with 7
