All Activity

The same family in gilmer that adopted camara also was involved with helping (not sure if they adopted) another former longhorn.

Gerry has reported numerous times that it's a complete NIL recruitment.

Feel like there is a narrative that has started on this board that Camara is strictly looking for a payout and he’s another Ojo. I’ve seen interviews with Camara and read articles that give me a totally different vibe. In interviews I’ve seen with him he comes across as very mature and serious kid that has to deal with some very challenging life events (lost both parents). He just moved to the US as an exchange student a couple of years ago after losing both his parents in France. I believe he came over his soph year so he’s trying to make up 4 yrs of hs in 2 1/2 years. He’s trying to graduate by December. That requires him to take 6 summer school courses. The thought is he will not be able to balance recruiting visits in June with the required course load over the summer.

“If” is loser’s excuse. UCLA was the best team in the Final 4. Deal with it.

Read the article you linked. Then follow the link for the NGO that’s raising money with Canada, and who leads that NGO. Then, connect the dots of his circumstances and the “shocking coincidence” of events for where he is now (from France to a guardianship in Gilmer, TX with no family relations involved…what are the chances 😉😂). I am sure this is a good kid from a very difficult background, and I wish him nothing but the best in his life and career. But, I’ll remain highly skeptical of how he’s being marketed by others and I would question if football is priority #1 here for anyone involved. Is the financial risk really worth the on-field reward here?

And if our All American had a mediocre game we would have beat them by double digits.

Good decision.

Louie isn't involved in Camara's recruitment. Todd is.

Looking forward to making at least 10 games this year and of course all playoff games if it happens. I am always excited about tailgating at all home game.

Thank you!

I completely misread Eli Drinkwitz. I like the cut of his jib.

@Blake Munroe hinted at this initially during our livestream in conjunction with the selection show on Monday. We knew Dylan Volantis wouldn’t start against Holy Cross. The only question was whether Schloss and Max Weiner would go with Harrison or make it a bullpen game. The Longhorns are going with the veteran lefty, who has been better at Disch-Falk than he has on the road.

You’re right when it comes to any recruits we miss on. Those we pull, well those were more than just NIL. Simple!

I love the fact that we are 100 days till kickoff and in single digits for how many days since blake was muted.

100 days sounds like a lot, I’d rather think of it as only 14 weekends away 😂

I’m excited to watch them lift the natty in January

I'm excited to see if Arch picks up where he left off. If he plays like he did the last half of the season, specifically Michigan, watch out! Hook Em! Graphic is insane by the way. It makes me want to run through a wall, Blake!

With all that said, I went to high school with Louie Gohmert and Mt. Pleasant Head Coach Sam Parker. I'd say Texas coaching staff should make their decision.

We are officially 100 days away from Texas football. Since there obviously isn’t a No. 100 walking around on past Texas rosters or this year’s roster, we’re using today as the official kickoff point for the countdown. Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin counting down from 99 all the way to 0 by taking a look at some of the best and most interesting Longhorns to ever wear the number that matches the day. Some days will be obvious. Some will spark debate. Some will bring back names you haven’t thought about in years. And some will be a chance to learn a little more Texas football history along the way. The season is getting closer. 100 days out. Let the countdown begin. And as we draw closer and closer to the season, I must ask.... what excites you the most about this year? Is there a certain player or position group? Maybe a coach or a certain game?

We are officially 100 days away from Texas Football. So starting today, and every day from here until kickoff, we’re going to take a look back at the Texas team that matches the countdown number. Today, that means the 1927 Texas Longhorns. The 1927 team finished 6-2-1 in Clyde Littlefield’s first season as head coach. Texas outscored opponents 164-73, opened the year with a defense-led 103-12 scoring edge over its first five games, posted three shutouts, and held six of nine opponents to seven points or fewer. There are some pretty cool nuggets with this team, too. 1. Texas shut out a John Heisman-coached team. Rice’s head coach in 1927 was John W. Heisman, and Texas beat Rice 27–0. Heisman retired from coaching after the 1927 season; the trophy that now bears his name was renamed in his honor in 1936. 2. One of Texas’ 1927 All-SWC players helped create Chicago deep-dish pizza. Ike Sewell, Texas’ All-SWC guard, later became a successful Chicago businessman and is credited by Texas Athletics with creating Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. That’s your social media banger: “A Texas Longhorn lineman helped invent deep-dish pizza.” 3. This was right before Texas’ “true burnt orange” uniform history. Texas Athletics notes Sewell later started on the 1928 team that first wore true burnt orange, meaning the 1927 team sits right before that uniform-history milestone. 4. They played in a still-new Memorial Stadium. The stadium had been dedicated on Thanksgiving Day 1924 to honor the 198,520 Texans who fought in World War I and the 5,280 who died. So the 1927 team was playing in the early years of what eventually became DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. 5. The season ended against a monster A&M team. Texas A&M finished 8–0–1, won the SWC, outscored opponents 262–32, and beat Texas 28–7 on Thanksgiving at Kyle Field. The Schedule:

Khardman: As the article linked states, Todd is the guy who brought Ismael to Gilmer to play football. I won't explain in great detail. Todd's dad was a well known guy in Gilmer sports in the 1980s when we were all teenagers. Todd's dad was our summer league basketball coach. Todd went to Germany as a foreign exchange student after graduation. That's where he established his European contacts. Todd's dad was always great to me. I was best friends with Alan's little brother Neal growing up. Their dad was the Methodist Minister at Soules Chapel in the 1980s. Must have spent about 1/3 of my time at their house from the age of 10-16. Their mom was maybe the nicest lady I ever knew. All this to say, I know the sports pedigree here and I can read between the lines. Stay away.
