Texas A&M - still the best atmosphere I've ever seen at DKR Oklahoma Miss. St.

The presidential commission surrounding college sports issued its first form of potential guidelines yesterday. You can read them in the tweet I linked below. It’s a comprehensive list of reforms. As should be expected, there’s some good, some bad and a whole lot of work to be done. But at least someone is attempting to move things forward. Perhaps the biggest news? They are suggesting an entirely new form of governance, one largely outside of the NCAA or perhaps without the NCAA altogether. Other major line items of note: - A phased pooling of rights if 75-percent of colleges agree to it. (They don’t say which 75-percent have to comply). The ACC is called out here because some of their rights don’t renew until the mid-2030s while other conferences renew sooner. - Absolute minimums for women’s sports. - Caps on player compensation with the intention of strict adherence. - The potential of tiered media compensation. So Texas might make more than SMU, Houston, etc. - The creation of a managing board and an executive director. ** My general take is that this is a major overreach. Rather than simply allow all schools to spend what they want and how they want, they suggest allowing the 75-percent to dictate and force what the 25-percent can do. Here’s the problem with that. In college sports, at least from an advertising/money perspective, the dollars are very much about the top 25-percent not the remaining 75. Some of these ideas are a starting point for sure. But it’s definitely not an ending point. As currently considered, it cedes way too much to the school ms that actually don’t generate much revenue. It’s cloaked as helping maintain funding for women’s sports, but it’s really just a redistribution of wealth. This proposal, as currently constructed, would not be good for the University of Texas. It would be good for Texas Tech though. And therein lies the problem. **

I still find myself throwing on the classic when Sark went to Alabama and beat Saban with Quinn and Worthy. When we moved the chains at the end, allowing us the run out the clock, it still gives me chills

Weird. I didn’t know that Oregon played all of them last year. Michigan. A&M. Arkansas.

Bowl game. Rewatched this week. People underestimate how good Arch played in that game. Throwing and running and leading. A couple of games this year, I felt like he had that “wasn’t going to be denied” gene in him. Michigan was one.

Beyond suffering a 5-1 road loss to Tennessee in Friday’s series opener at Lindsay Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, No. 4 Texas faces an immediate future with Ethan Mendoza’s status up in the air. The junior second baseman left the game after an awkward landing while diving for a ball hit in his direction off the bat of Volunteers second baseman Blake Grimmer. Mendoza tried to shake off what Jim Schlossnagle confirmed after the game is a shoulder injury, but he left the field and was replaced in the lineup by Callum Early. Schlossnagle didn’t have anything else concrete on Mendoza’s injury, telling Roger Wallace during his postgame radio interview that the injury is to Mendoza’s throwing shoulder (a team source told On Texas Football late Friday that there was no definitive word on the extent of the injury). “He’s in a fair amount of discomfort. We’ll just have to take it day by day and see if he’s able to — I can’t imagine he’ll be able to throw anytime soon. Maybe, he’ll be able to hit.” While Early stayed in the game for the second and third innings, he was lifted in the top of the fourth for Josh Livingston. Livingston stayed in the game after beating Tennessee’s shift with a bunt single down the third-base side of the infield, occupying first base, with Casey Borba moving to third base and Temo Becerra sliding over to second. It’s a similar configuration to the one Texas (36-11, 15-9 SEC) utilized when Adrian Rodriguez was sidelined after getting the staple in his surgically-repaired hand removed. That’s likely the mix the Longhorns will go with as long as Mendoza is out of the lineup. Mendoza, who struck out swinging in his only at-bat of the game, entered the series hitting .278 (50-for-180) with 12 doubles, eight home runs, one triple, 40 RBI and an .844 OPS. Texas and Tennessee will continue their three-game series in Knoxville on Saturday at 5 p.m. (SEC Network+). View full news story

Good Q. I'll ask if it's something Miller ever plans to entertain at UT

- and it's a good thing for him. Look, I love our football squad, but Coach has and will always have a crowded WR room. Very competitive. Going to another team that can actually use you and potentially develop your abilities is what needs to happen for him. Not that he couldn't/wouldn't shine here - but there's only 60 minutes in a game.

There's something very sweet about a walk-off win against Georgia. Also - we are peaking at the right time, kudos to coaching staff AND players.

For me it’s Florida, miss state, Aggie and the bowl game. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Over, parlayed with Sorsby under 3.5 million in legal fees.

Still a freak ... I'm interested to see how playing 8-10 minutes more per game on average takes it's toll on him in next series

When will Texas take advantage of taking one of those summer tours playing exhibitions vs pro teams? Calipari seemed to take one every chance he got at least while he was at Kentucky. Meanwhile, I can only recall Texas doing it once in 2017 with the Mo Bamba team under Shaka that went to Australia. I believe we can do one every 4 years yet we've only done one in the last 24 years. One would think in the age of the portal that this would help speed up the development of team chemistry and camaraderie.

Can someone explain why Schloss thinks Monsour is an upgrade in centerfield?

harveycmd, why don’t you start a new tread … call it .. Laker Fan Boy or whatever you desire. This is a Wemby tread. Just a suggestion 😀

Put the team on his back tonight

I assume Teagan is not available for much more than a close if needed.

what’s the appeal for TX WRs to go to Washington
