I've been refreshing the forums on repeat but it's not making the season start any quicker, so I went back and rewatched the 2026 Bold Predictions show from March. Curious where everyone lands on these now that we're two weeks out. I pulled the ones I found most interesting. If I missed a better one, add it below. CJ: Texas averages 40+ points per game [00:48] Jeff: If Texas averages 40+ points, it is playing for the national championship. [02:54] Gerry: Texas leads the nation in sacks [03:00] Rod: Texas finishes 1st or 2nd in the SEC in takeaways [06:15] Rod: Kade Phillips leads the team in interceptions [07:35] Jeff: Bo Mascoe leads the defense in snaps played [08:15] Bobby: at least 8 of the portal additions end up NFL draft picks [14:26] CJ: 15 Texas players taken in the 2027 draft [16:55] Buy or Sell on each? Here are my picks: 1. Sell 2. Buy 3. Buy 4. Buy 5. Sell 6. Buy 7. Buy 8. Sell

Austin and Archie

It’d be nice if the majority of the replies had this spirit. Bunch of mostly grown men gossiping or quiet sniping at a kid that could have a real life problem. Why? He can’t play a stupid game for their team. Getting harder to stay at even this site. Football conjecture is what makes following sports fun. Speculation on a kid’s personal life is pretty fowl.

Full House

What’s next? Texas can expect smash mash football targeting the linebackers, shortened games, & low scoring games.

Here's my goof ball!

Key words I took from this post are “starting-caliber player”. There is a lot of speculation going around but it seems to me that part of the issue could be he lost his starting position. Anyway, I hope we can develop the freshmen quickly. I don’t see us finding someone in the portal.

Agree, it's time to let these be done, and allow the healing to begin, for whatever happened. I don't need to know any more. 🤘

Well said boss 🤘

Sometimes situations like this can bring the best out of players that were in the wings, so to speak. Let's see (and hope) that this is one of those situations.🤘

Gigi Banks would be a huge pickup. You have to have great guard play to win in the SEC. She reminds me of Fulwiley at LSU, great handle, change of direction, stutter step, go to the rim and score! Get the Lambo ready.

I’ve read his parents are sick to he has a drinking problem. Honestly, not to concerned with why he was dismissed more so concerned with him getting help if that’s what he needs. Wish him the best, was really looking forward to him playing this season after that Michigan game.

Things sure are happening fast.

I trust in Muschamp

Sure would be nice to have Bo Barnes right now 🥲

I’d reconcile it by letting the official word stand, that Smith was dismissed from the team.

Who else was going to take that job? They figured they'd take another step back by tryna move on. Makes sense to me, honestly. Defensive wizard... will always be in close games and have a chance... unless it's against us, in Dallas!!🤘🏿

Actually, this is going to work out fine. I like the idea of each talented freshman lb being in a position to be counted on, and I'll explain why. First off, none of them have to be starters right off. Secondly, this team has veteran leadership throughout, including that room. This makes the unit even closer knowing each man is definitely going to be called upon, for sure. The awareness in the room will be higher because the spotlight on them, is now brighter. Kosi can follow Brad. Rocky can follow Rasheem. Tyler can follow Justin. Darius, Markus and Brady.. be special team demons. Johnathan and JJR aren't foreigners to the position, so I think they should be in those meeting rooms too, JIC. I don't think, however, a transfer portal guy would help, at this point, besides being a live body for practices.

Beat up Muschamp?

@Jeff Howe how do we possibly reconcile this statement with the news that he was "dismissed" from the team? Did he fail a real drug test? Get caught gambling? Did he have the "pending an investigation" flu?

Smith said hold my beer with all the “Who is the most indispensable Longhorn”.

9/11

Bottom line is he did not want to win for Texas anymore. Better he is somewhere else. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿
