Go to 16 if you want, but let’s not pretend every résumé deserves a backstage pass. Expansion shouldn’t mean charity. An 8–4 team didn’t “just miss,” it just lost too many games. Set a floor. Nine wins minimum. That still allows a tough non-con loss, a conference punch to the mouth, and one bad Saturday without turning the playoff into a vibes-based participation bracket. Otherwise we’re not expanding competition—we’re expanding content. And we already know ESPN’s got that part covered.

Thanks to Bobby and the crew for instilling this culture! It’s all about Culture Wednesdays! 🤘🏼

The problem with 247 is that CBS doesn't seem to be willing to invest in retaining or developing talent. I was a subscriber there for a decade+ and finally left last year after a lot of the talent moved over to here. I tried giving 247 a chance after Rod and Jeff left but the quality and quantity of content isn't there anymore. For example, it shouldn't take them five days to publish a podcast after a game. Anyways, I feel for Chip and Matt but the site is a shadow of its former self. I hope Jeff, Rod, and Matt can reincarnate Longhorn Blitz at some point.

You think so.

@Blake Munroe have you heard about this? Any noise with texas?

Once he develops an inside move to go with his outside speeds it’s over for OTs.

Were Lefau’s snaps per game decreasing towards the end of the year or something?

Fair enough.

All experience isnt good experience

Belly tats on a beer gut? Not sure that should be our type

Good find. Here are his blocking grades by game

Was graded as one of the worst P4 centers in the country.

i've always seen Japanese players have to be bid on by MLB teams, i believe it's a blind bid as well.

Very intriguing. Seems to fit the profile for what we are looking for at IOL to a T.

From what I understand, Japan has special rules set in place with MLB so their NPB talent pool isn’t drained too fast. The MLB Draft can only draft from US, US Territories and Canada. I was wondering why he isn’t considered an International free agent (like signing a player from the DR). But apparently in order to become an international free agent in Japan, they must first be NPB players for 9 years OR they can request to be posted by their team. From MLB Website: “Players that accrue nine years of service time in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball or the Korea Baseball Organization are considered free agents. Such players are eligible to pursue opportunities in any league, including Major League Baseball, without being subjected to the Korean or Japanese posting systems.”

And in a complete coincidence his volleyball gf just committed to tech today. I think we know where this is going.

I thought Texas values experienced depth? We don't have room for a guy like Lefau?

Per Sark in the past one you decide to enter there is no coming back.

Just because you enter the portal doesn’t mean you transfer right?It seems with all the agents and negotiations entering the portal is a way to try and maximize your capitalistic value. Wish he valued being a horn more than this. Okpala and Atkinson will need to grow up fast.

Guessing the staff really likes what they see from Tyanthony Smith. This one is gonna hurt regardless. Lefau was experienced and fairly productive. Texas has a lot of shoes to fill in the portal and only so much NIL to go around

We’re a huge benefactor of this spot. So be happy about it.

Why can’t MLB draft him now?

College football is in a healthy spot
