I wanna say thanks to everybody and the words of encouragement. Even if I didn’t personally respond I read each message with the most appreciation for this community. We had a conversation today where I’ve made my wishes clear and it seemed to go as well as I could hope for in the moment, now just to wait for the process to play out. I’ve had a better day today than I did yesterday and that’s step 1. Thanks guys and hookem

I think our brains work the same way- it is so frustrating. And as I get older, it seems to get worse!!

As hard as it may seem, keep it as civil as possible. You may not be a couple, but you be parents forever. Biggest scars I’ve witnessed have been on the children from a nasty and contentious divorce.

How about starting a beach volleyball program and have it top 5 in the country in 3 years?

Need Voke to rest up and get his legs back, can’t have him get in foul trouble because he’s got heavy legs.

We picked up 2 OL starters, both RB starters, several DT and the best WR. Without all that we are no way close to a NC contender.

CDC doesn't bat 1.000 but he's closer than anyone else in his field IMO.

Left out Bowman with men’s swimming and producing an SEC championship and National Championship in year 1. Let’s see what happens this weekend! Hook’em!

Not near enough of this discussion.

We would have been national champ contenders without portal additions. There’s only one position group that looks to be substantially better than it would otherwise be without the impact of the portal. And that’s conceivable that the two best players are homegrown. Biles is a top addition, but it’s not as though Lefau was insignificant. Now, if you say took us to the top of the list, maybe.

And is it all they got sports-wise?

I just can’t figure out which one is Michigan state 🤣

Maybe we should just go with the hate since that is working? Thanks for the updates JH!

This is random, but your name sounded familiar to me so I googled it and instantly regretted the decision 😂 in case you’re wondering, Paul Jesperson (almost identical name) hit a half court buzzer beater to knock Texas out the tournament 10 years ago

BTW - I’m skeptical of the Duke total. I think it is likely higher.

Great graphic. Thanks for posting. We need to get to the spending levels of other SEC football schools like Bama and Tenn.

they are a bigger basketball school than texas

Sad when Purdue Is outspending us... 😬 🤘

Great to hear Texas should have Pope come Thursday. All hands on deck.

Sean Miller’s Texas squad spent Sunday away from the court after advancing to the Sweet 16 with Saturday’s NCAA Tournament second-round win over Gonzaga. The downtime allowed Jordan Pope to get treatment for an ankle injury he sustained late in the 74-68 win over the Bulldogs, which allowed the Longhorns to reach the second weekend of March Madness for the first time since 2023 and the second time since 2008. “With Jordan, I think we’ll be fine,” Miller said Monday during a Zoom call with reporters. “We didn’t do anything yesterday, so we weren’t together, but he’s gotten treatment and moving forward.” A source told On Texas Football on Sunday how close it could get Pope “to 90-95 percent will come down to Sunday through Wednesday." Texas (21-14) doesn’t travel until Tuesday for its West Regional semifinal at San Jose’s SAP Center against No. 2 seed Purdue on Thursday (6:10 p.m. CT, CBS). The Longhorns will be on the court for practice Monday afternoon, giving Pope more time to rest before putting his ankle to the test against a veteran backcourt led by Braden Smith, who broke Bobby Hurley’s NCAA record for career assists (1,091 after Sunday’s 79-69 second-round win over Miami) in Purdue’s (29-8) first-round rout of Queens. “You go and break that record, I think that says everything about his ability to pass, play-make, make his teammates better,” Miller said of Smith. “He’s one of the best in the game and a big, big part of why Purdue is so great offensively.” The fifth all-time NCAA Tournament meeting between Texas and the Boilermakers will feature two of the most experienced backcourts in the country. Smith and Fletcher Loyer have played a combined 294 collegiate games (147 each), which actually falls short of the 305 combined games played by Pope (134) and Tramon Mark (171). Pope is averaging 11 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds per game in the Longhorns’ three NCAA Tournament victories. Although his 7-for-22 mark from beyond the arc is behind the pace at which he’s converted 3-point shots throughout the season (36.9 percent through 35 games), Pope’s clutch 3-pointer with 1:29 left in a 79-71 first-round win over BYU is one of several big-time plays Texas has gotten from the Oakland, Calif., native during the team’s unlikely run to the Sweet 16. “I don't know if there's too many guards that are playing in the Tournament that are playing at a higher level than Jordan Pope,” Miller said after Pope scored 17 points on 7-for-18 shooting (3-for-8 from 3-point range) with three assists and no turnovers in the win over Gonzaga. “He means a lot to our team. What he's really mastered is that he controls the game and he's our point guard, but he adds such a strong scoring punch that he can change the game from the 3-point line.” View full news story
