When did grown men become so sensitive and emotional? It’s a comment. Why it resonated with you is your deal. Every remark is from a glass house. The kid should be banned but folks are acting like it’s a tech issue. It’s a college football issue. It’s a disease and it doesn’t recognize logos.

The ultimate “your honor I do not recall” from our friends at ESPN: Sorsby, who appeared in 10 games and made seven starts at Indiana in 2023, said he was unaware of an October 2022 bet on the under for Indiana's quarterback passing yards or a September 2023 bet on the under for the first half of a Hoosiers football game. "Sorsby became aware of the bets only after the betting data was made available to his attorneys," the stipulated facts said. While I agree that it’s probably difficult to remember all the bets he’s made since he’s made SO many, that was an extremely convenient memory lapse.

Rowing is pretty cool. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1P5d91XjYd/ Who rows: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AwRF3P4Lv/

Going to be annoying if part of the upshot of all this is Tech getting a good coach.

Makes you wonder what the folks at IU and UC knew.

I want this to happen after Texas beats, Oregon, and Tech (in Vegas with Sorsby playing QB) to win the national title. Enjoy your Saturday 🤘🏾!

He went to Indiana for two years, which is where he bet on his own team. Then Cincinnati for two years, where he kept on betting. Then Tech for about two months, where the 💩 hit the fan. It's not like he started at Tech and learned about gambling while there. Now that he's been called out the Tech brass is badly playing a poor hand and looking like fools in the process. But you asked why would high schools welcome Tech recruiting and I gave you the right answer - because they are willing to pay more money for recruits.

Texas is off to the races early with two early birdies and an eagle that has them -4 on the morning thru 5 holes.

disgusting.

TRO - temporary restraining order TI - temporary injunction I think that's right but I'm not a lawyer either.

I can’t say the things I would like to say right now because Bobby wouldn’t appreciate me using such language.

Lawyers will do anything for money

100% would be flagged today lol

Thanks. It’s been fun to read about each team! Definitely brushing up on my Horns knowledge, that’s for sure.

As an older Texas Ex and longtime fan, I have really enjoyed the appearances of former greats like Brad Shearer. In the off-season it's interesting to hear from them. I also enjoy the interviews Gerry and CJ do with recruits and high school players committed to the Longhorns. The interviews with high school coaches are also interesting in the off-season. Frankly, SEC MIKE is the only featured guest I just can't stand. Keep up the great work OTF!

My oldest son, Colt, currently has three aquariums (much to my and my wife’s dismay). I really didn’t think he would have the self-discipline needed to keep up with two, much less three, but he’s surprised me. He absolutely loves it. He buys fish and plants often for them. They aren’t huge (10-20 gallons I think) but each one is different groups of those fish and plants living together I will have to get him on this thread.

He's saying that the amount of evidence against Sorsby is so overwhelming that no judge would ethically grant his temporary injunction.

Don’t think he is hating on Holly Cross. Other than their Horns down lol. That worked out well. The NCAA is the culprit.

The 1929 Longhorns finished 5-2-2, but that record doesn’t begin to tell the story. For the first half of the season, Texas was virtually untouchable. The Longhorns opened the year with five consecutive shutout victories over St. Edward’s, Centenary, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Rice. Through five games, Texas had outscored opponents 120-0 and had not allowed a single point. Five games. Five wins. Five shutouts. That’s one of the most dominant starts in program history. Texas allowed only 28 points all season, an improvement from the 32 points surrendered by the 1928 Southwest Conference championship team. In fact, over the two-year span of 1928 and 1929, the Longhorns allowed just 60 total points in 18 games. Even more impressive? Only two opponents scored on Texas all season. TCU managed 15 points in a 15-12 victory, and Texas A&M scored 13 points in the season finale. That’s it. Officially, Texas recorded five shutout victories. Unofficially, the Longhorns held seven of their nine opponents scoreless when you include back-to-back 0-0 ties against SMU and Baylor. Seven of nine opponents failed to score a single point against Texas. Modern fans will never see another season quite like it. The strangest part of the year is how dramatically the season changed after the 5-0 start. Texas went from outscoring opponents 120-0 through five games to going 0-2-2 over its final four contests. The Longhorns played consecutive scoreless ties against SMU and Baylor before falling to TCU and Texas A&M to close the year. Despite the disappointing finish, the season still featured one of the most notable wins of the era. Texas defeated Oklahoma 21-0 in Dallas as the rivalry resumed after a multi-year hiatus. What would eventually become one of college football’s greatest rivalries returned to the schedule in 1929. 1929 Schedule & Results • St. Edward’s - W 13-0 • Centenary - W 20-0 • at Arkansas - W 27-0 • Oklahoma - W 21-0 • Rice - W 39-0 • at SMU - T 0-0 • Baylor - T 0-0 • TCU - L 12-15 • at Texas A&M - L 0-13 Seven opponents never scored. Nearly 100 years later, that’s still hard to comprehend.

English please

Texas wins all 6 of its pre-lim races and has all 3 boats in the A Finals. The first race is a 8:36. Then 9:00 and 9:24. Rowing has 22 teams total and each race is worth subsequently more points. The first race, 1st varsity 4 (4 person boat), is worth 22 points for the winner and you lose 1 point for each place after that. The 2nd race, 2nd varsity 8 (8 person boat), is worth 2 times the points 44 for winning and you lose 2 points after that. The final race, 1st Varsity 8, is worth 3 times the points, 66 points for winning and you lose 3 points for each place after that. The 1v8 race also serves as the tiebreaker. If you end up tied in points, the team with the faster 1v8 gets the nod. Texas finished 2nd to Stanford in the 1v4 race but went on to beat them in the 2v8 and 1v8 races. That gives Texas 131 points, Stanford 127 with Texas also being faster in the tiebreaking 1v8 race if needed. Things will be different in the finals, teams don't go all out in pre-lim races as they focus on finishing top 3 to advance. We will follow the results closely tomorrow morning and see how things look in terms of points heading into the 1v8 race. For example, if Texas ends up finishing 2nd to Stanford in both the 1v4 and 2v8 races, Texas would be down by 3 points headed to the 1v8. Texas would need to beat Stanford in the 1v8 race by at least one place to tie in points and also have the tiebreak. It seems pretty clearly Texas v Stanford for 1st and 2nd here. If Stanford does win and Texas finish 2nd, that would be a 20 point swing in favor of Stanfords Directors Cup chances.

These moments are one of the reasons why I love college sports. They play for the love of the game and the love of their teammates.

As an American and a native Texan, having lived in six different states and also worked internationally after graduating from UT in 1978, I have come to believe that Free Speech is the right I cherish the most. This question of association with a sponsor's separately expressed public policy and political opinions doesn't bother me. It reminds me of the famous Michael Jordan quote about whether he was politically liberal or conservative. Jordan said "Republicans buy sneakers too." Advertising has helped OTF grow rapidly and I am pleased about that. Personally, I think advertising from sports related wagering sites (given the current Sorsby situation) falls into the same category... that category being whether a business like OTF chooses to accept advertising dollars from certain sponsors. The law firms can express political opinions and the wagering sites are engaging in a legal business. And OTF is fun, informative and growing. Hook 'Em!
