We did not have a "ready" backup plan in place after our initial Michigan OL duo transfer plan failed. But it worked out well for Texas with 9-4 Wake Forest's transfer LT/RT 6-6 #317 Melvin Siani. LT Siani dominated in their 43-29 bowl game win over MSST. For the season, Siani had stellar pass blocking stats, 487 pass-blocking snaps with 0 sacks allowed and only 9 pressures allowed (6 hurries and 3 quarterback hits). Elite 80.8 PFF pass blocking grade and good 72.8 overall PFF offensive grade for 2025 season vs ACC competition, Oregon St and MSST. Siani will again play RT (2024 RT) but for Texas. Texas WKY transfer 6-2 #316 Seymore did not get the benefit of a spring at Texas and is a bit more questionable. Many talk about his good PFF pass blocking grades vs LSU. Some context....WKY had only 22 rushing yds vs LSU. WKY had only 130 passing yds on 41 attempts for 3.2 yds per pass attempt. WKY offense had 152 total yds, 2.3 yds per play. 4/15 on 3rd down and 0/3 on 4th down. WKY lost 10-13. Western Kentucky's Air Raid variation relies heavily on up tempo, quick-hitting passes and schematic relief to avoid pass rush, which can artificially boost an offensive lineman’s individual pass-block win rate. When a quarterback consistently releases the ball in under 2 to 2.5 seconds, even an elite pass rusher may not have physical time to beat a block and record a pressure. Outside of their matchup with LSU and bowl game vs S Miss, WKU’s 2025 schedule consisted almost entirely of bottom-tier or average Group of Five and FCS opponents. They played subpar defenses like North Alabama (FCS), Missouri State (FCS), FIU, New Mexico State, and Middle Tennessee. Most of these programs feature interior defensive linemen who average under 290 pounds and lack NFL-caliber twitch or power move sets. Dominating pass-blocking metrics against Conference USA does not accurately project how a lineman handles 320-pound SEC defensive tackles who can execute advanced stunt-and-twist games. But Seymore's high pass blocking grades are encouraging. He can anchor well when he locks on. But how will Seymore do if he needs to protect longer vs better competition? Regardless, he sets a floor as a pass protector that is better than TX LGs last September. Seymore had average run blocking grades for the season. If Seymore starts.....Seymore will have his first test vs Ohio St - Sr Bama transfer disruptor 6-2 #314 DT James Smith, former UA All American rJr transfer 6-3 #303 DT John Walker, and former 5 star 6-3 #292 DT Eddrick Houston. If Seymore does struggle vs this trio, he will likely struggle vs several more SEC teams. But if he doesn't struggle....

Vince won rookie of the year and coach is still playing victim and shifting the blame lol what a loser

I might actually respect Jeff Fisher if he said at some point (he might've said something like this and I just missed it) that he didn't want to draft VY, never wanted VY and took an inkling of responsibility for why it didn't work out in Tennessee. The "he showed weakness" comment in the trailer, out of context or not, is all I need to see and/or hear to know that what I'm asking for is too much.

There’s an unfair narrative out there with some that VY is some lazy, irresponsible athlete who threw his career away. I hope this doc brings light to what truly went on in his life. He’s a good dude with good intentions and will forever be a Longhorn Legend.

Wow Colin Simmons already scouting teams months in advance. That work ethic is unmatched 😂

Those numbers are the promised roster monetary allotments

Probably my favorite new thread - has flavors of other schools' message board meltdowns

For the record, the team ended up splitting the games with the Dutch. They lost 8-7 on Monday (after giving up 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th) and won 7-5 yesterday. If you are interested, you can watch the games

How Bobby sleeps knowing everyone on TexAgs irrationally hates his guts

For sure! He was great

Just wanted to give a shout out for the Aaron Ross interview on today’s Coffee and Football. Get interview and great Longhorn legend. Enjoy practice today. Stay hydrated and let the practice nuggets begin. Looking forward to a great season. Hook” em

Last year defense was atrocious, hoping for better this year. Wish this was streamed so those of us outside the area could watch it.

Yes, Texas definitely honed in on Michigan's Andrew Sprague and Jake Guarnera. But just before it was a done deal, new HC Whittingham came into the picture as a stabilizing force to help keep the duo at Michigan, forcing the Longhorns to look elsewhere.

Cooper and it will sound like we are booing him! But we ain't.

Absolutely!

Bishop is significantly shiftier. Bussey added weight, probably too much weight, after arriving in College Station.

Willis was 5a like DeSoto, but I see your point. The competition is much less in 2a versus 5a, so their records and numbers are not the same. However, their skill set and measurables are something outside of records and numbers, don't you agree? The reason I asked the question is that, in both players' recruitment, their skill set in the film clips looked similar to me, and in their camp testings, their measurables were very similar.

I believe it will be Philo. Too much continuity with the OC

“I don’t think we fall flat, but we could easily go 8-4.” 8-4 after an 11-1 season would be falling flat bud.
