Collin Simmons has a greater purpose than just playing football. You can tell he has a perspective on what he needs to do. I see him making a huge impact in favor of special needs children. Especially those with autism. I have a son on the spectrum, fortunately on the lower end. I just give him his space.

I am surprised the UCLA coach hasn't been fired. He is such an odd dude.

She's very unselfish. She gets her teammates involved. Is the voice in the huddle. Her skillset is like very few. She has a great personality. Maddie needs her jersey in the rafters when she graduates.

He should be more classy. This was the correct response, "I am grateful for my time at Texas. Love the guys and coaches. However, I am a competitor and am here to win and do all I can for my new team!"

How is the new indoor field looking now? I really hope that Denius becomes a soccer only facility.

Blair doesn't need to follow her dad at Texas. She needs to go forge her own trail. Once Coach Vic leaves, CDC will already have someone in mind. And that individual will be proven, have experience, and a winning record.

Above average, yes in my adult lifetime. Texas is an above average program historically, and since 2000. A top 25 level program. But truly doing what it takes to take the next step over time? No. What I would label as content, yes.

Texas women's basketball is top tier program in their college sport. A history of elite winning. An NC, 4 Final Four's, 13 Elite 8's, etc... I think Texas womens NIL advantage is real - in terms of where they sit. But maybe a little overblown too. The whole deal with women's college hoops IMO is ... there isn't depth of talent in the women's game. There is a substantial drop off between you top tier and second tier, and a huge drop off after that. If a tier 1/blue blood hires a high end coach in the women's game, they can be very elite or dominant because of the lack of depth of talent. Texas has done that with Vic. Texas men aren't even close to that. Near zero history of winning on an elite level. Never played for an NC. One FF since 1947, etc... Not near a tier 1 or blue blood. Not a destination school in their sport. etc

But that Texas team wasn't close to a normal blue blood roster. Beard is legitimate great coach that has messed it up. Not a current NBA player on that team. Couple of two-way contract guys

Yeah I agree. I could see him coaching into his 70s and hand it off to Blair (like Coach K did with Jon Scheyer) or they’ll hire a proven winner externally once he retires. But he has a chance to take the program to heights that even Jody Conradt did not reach and win multiple national championships. The biggest competition will of course be South Carolina and LSU in conference and UConn out of conference, but the way they’re recruiting high school and internationally, utilizing the portal, and developing players, they will be a pain to deal with for a while.

Parker could potentially be WR 6 at Texas if he was on the team now.

One step closer to Sping game!

This is exactly why I came to OTF. The crew has been crushing it with Spring Ball updates.

The Colin Simmons piece might be one of my favorite paragraphs I’ve read on this forum. Good for him.

well we can’t shoot are dumb, and don’t play a lick of defense, none of that is coaching of course

Katie is on a roll.

Hero Kanu is such a cool dude.

Easy work today!

Grand Slam by Stewart 10-1-final run rule in 5th

I don't see Coach Vic going anywhere anytime soon. He runs daily, and loves his job. With the kids he's bringing in, why should he retire? I see him staying for another 10 years minimum. His assistant coaches need to get head jobs somewhere else and be part of the Vic coaching family.

LFG

Are the finals always in San Antonio now or will it rotate?

Great article Jeff !

Past on basketball I want to keep from throwing crap at the TV and blood pressure down

3-0 Texas if you're watching this game instead of the basketball game don't worry this one won't last too much longer. You'll be able to catch both🤘🏿
