Great read, Jeff. I love the posts that are 'history lessons' about Texas football. A very rich past.

I'm curious why Leonard Davis' name hasn't surfaced......

We’re 59 days away from Texas football and this one is a little different. There isn’t a long list of legendary No. 59s and Lee Lyles gets the nod here. Lyles was a three-year letterman at center from 1972-74, started during the early 1970s Darrell Royal era, helped anchor one of Texas’ potent rushing offenses, and then went on to play professionally. So we’re also looking at No. 59 by the numbers. The 1961 Texas defense gave up just 59 points all season, finished 10-1 and won the Cotton Bowl. That remains one of the stingiest defensive seasons in school history. And then there are the 59-yard touchdown passes: Case McCoy to Marcus Johnson in the 2013 Red River upset of No. 12 Oklahoma. Major Applewhite to Wane McGarity in the 1999 Cotton Bowl win over Mississippi State. Arch Manning to Parker Livingstone in the 2025 win over Mississippi State. Not the easiest countdown day, but No. 59 still gives us a few pretty cool Texas football nuggets.

The reason the staff moved Baker to G is because they see that as his long term position in the NFL. Even if he does come back I'm not sure he would slide back out to T. Likewise Siani isn't really a LT more suited to RT. As for Camara physically he is ready to play day 1 but he's still very raw in terms of his technique and all that. Which is understandable he's only played 2 or so years of HS ball. I think right now you're more likely to see him either slide to RT or a G position. I think the Coleman twins are going to have a lot to say next year when it comes to earning a starting spot. Can't forget about Turntine either. So he'll have his work cut out for him because there is a lot of talent in the OL room. Just need to see it on the field, I'm in wait and see mode when it comes to Flood. But I agree with you, I do love this pick up and I actually quite like the OL haul this year in general. The biggest question is, who takes over for C in 2027. Very important position on the OL and very underrated.

WE HOPE.

As much as I dont like the dude, he ghosted ou, and he has developed as many top end qbs as anyone in the game. HC may not be his strong suit but could pretty much name his next OC job and any program would be remiss if they didnt at least consider it.

That Miami team had close to 40 future NFL players on it. Texas would've got beat down so hard, we'd still be feeling it lol.

That's if he could even get ball off or time to throw with that front 7 lol.

I wish I could find 80 million between my couch cushions. All I found was some loose change, crumbs and more crumbs.

Kiffin has to prove he has what it takes at a P5 or now P4 program before I'll buy the hype on him. Great offensive mind but has sh*t the bed at every big time stop. Maybe the portal/NIL helps him. If he can't field a competent D at LSU, then he never will.

There's a reason he went running from OU to head to USC when they were in the pac 12 only for them to head to the Big 10 shortly after lol. The dude is a great offensive mind but everything else he's not so great at. Was handed the keys to the kingdom at OU and then ran for the hills (so to speak). My guess is if he gets let go, he'll head to the NFL as an OC. Good thing USC has a bonefide replacement in GP on staff. Dude is probably chomping at the bit to get a hold of a program like USC and t heir resources lol.

Sark is not giving up play calling duties ever.

I wouldn’t hate it. He did torch us several times

Hard pass.

University of Texas offensive coordinator- Lincoln Riley

Riley will be at tech after this season. Book it.

Don’t think Royal had the juice in 1963 to pull that off. Whittier didn’t enroll until 1969 and didn’t play until 1970.

It’s been surprising at how inept he’s been there for the most part. Don’t see it changing this season but not sure there’s anyone on the radar that would make swallowing that amount of cash palatable.

Chris Simms throwing against a secondary that included Ed Reed, Phillip Buchanan, Antrei Rolle and Sean Taylor would have been ugly to watch

Put down the pipe.

Not a chance.

Texas played USC IN 1966 and 1967. Some Juco guy named OJ Simpson was the USC TB in 1967. USC won the Natty that year. They said their toughest game was against Texas in the Coliseum.

Royal should have integrated his team sooner. Missed out on Bubba Smith.

Actually not a terrible answer. After the last few months I didn't think it was possible for him to actually string together coherent statements, but that wasn't actually that bad. The coat though - geez...
