Playing Texas Sep 5 doesn't resolve the situation Sark was referring to. Sark said the in-state DI schools not in the SEC had soft conference schedules yet winning conf title gave them AQ route to CFP. We all know that statement is true. First, Cody Millionaire should fight to dump the AQ in CFP. Then Tech can counter the weak conference scenario by 1) scheduling one SEC, one B1G and one ACC team all in non-conference games in one season. OR 2.) joining a big-boy conference, even if they must sacrifice revenue for a decade or two as cost of entry (like SMU route to ACC). Is Cody Billionaire afraid to schedule Vandy, Wisconsin and Duke all in 2027? Playing U of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and New Mexico in 2027 won't cut it. They need another NC game in 2027 after buying out both North Texas and NC State. Who do they schedule as third NC, Montana or Sac St or Maine? Or do they, say, travel to ND to play in South Bend for travel expenses? Or same to Oregon? Or same Penn St? Or same Miami? They should also start a major media and PR campaign to boost viewership of their televised games. They need more eyeballs than students, alumni. and Panhandle residents can provide.

Even funnier, if Tech knew and didn’t do anything until the criminal investigations were revealed, could Sorsby sue Tech for enabling his addiction?

@Gerry Hamilton Why would any Texas high school coach or program want anything to do with Texas Tech anymore?

I unfortunately think that NIL and the Wild West spending that's taking place has some play in this. Campbell dropped 6 big ones on this guy.

Kinda makes you think… If Tech did know and didn’t do anything until the criminal investigations were revealed, is the University potentially liable for enabling a criminal enterprise?

Can’t say I’ve seen anyone on here making a statement that would indicate that.

Given that reputation he built over the years as a high school coach, reading that script written for him by Campbell's legal team was simply sad. Consider what his reputation could have been...if the coach had resigned and read a statement of his own... with an enhanced reputation for ethics, he most likely would have received consideration for a prime head coaching position at another university the next time the coaching carousel stopped spinning. But no... he's going to be stuck with Tech and Campbell's Sorsby situation going forward. Glad I'm not a Tech fan. Never was, but at least I had grudging respect for the late Mike Leach. Now, Joey's right up there with Art Briles. Hook 'Em!

Brackens was great, though Osackpo was the best

9K bets is clearly intent to deceive and be under-the-radar. A 1st year law student could win this case against Sorsby.

Brian Orakpo will always be my favorite No. 98.

As they say.. “if the shoe fits” 😂 but agreed.. they’re getting too much undeserved attention and they love it.

If yall think no Texas player has made a single bet…gambling has one purpose. Addiction. Gambling is a problem and online versions are the fuel.

Another great graphic by Matthew

Does Polymarket or Kalshi have odds of him never playing again bc how do I place that bet

As we continue the countdown to the 2026 Texas football season, today’s spotlight falls on one of the premier defensive line numbers in Longhorn history: No. 98. 1. Brian Orakpo (2005-08) Few defensive players in Texas history can match what Brian Orakpo accomplished in burnt orange. The Houston native capped his career with one of the greatest individual seasons ever by a Longhorn defender in 2008, earning unanimous All-American honors while sweeping some of college football’s most prestigious awards. Orakpo won the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Ted Hendricks Award while also being named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. He finished his Texas career with 132 tackles, 38 tackles for loss and 22 sacks and was a member of the 2005 national championship team. When discussing the greatest defensive ends in school history, Orakpo’s name is always near the top of the list. 2. Tony Brackens (1992-95) Before Orakpo, there was Tony Brackens. One of the most dominant defensive players of the Southwest Conference era, Brackens earned Consensus All-American honors in 1995 and was a three-time First-Team All-SWC selection. Brackens finished his Texas career with 24 sacks and played a major role in the Longhorns’ final Southwest Conference championship. His combination of power, athleticism and production helped launch a lengthy NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he became one of the franchise’s all-time great defenders. He remains one of the most underrated stars in Texas football history. 3. Moro Ojomo (2018-22) Moro Ojomo may not have the trophy case of Orakpo or Brackens, but he did have an impact A five-year Longhorn who appeared in 50 career games, Ojomo became a key leader during Texas’ climb back into national contention under Steve Sarkisian. His leadership, toughness and steady play helped lay the foundation for the program’s resurgence. Ojomo was a multi-year starter, helped Texas win the 2022 Alamo Bowl and was part of the roster that launched the Longhorns back into the College Football Playoff era before moving on to the NFL. No. 98 has been home to some outstanding defensive linemen over the years. Now it’s your turn: Who is the greatest Longhorn to ever wear No. 98? Who is your favorite?

When Roger Staubach threw that late long desperation heave to Drew Pearson in Minnesota back in the day he called it a "Hail Mary." Tech trying an off-the-field legal and administrative move reminiscent of Staubach's pass. Difference being that Tech's try has even less chance of success. Hook 'Em!

excellent read, Jeff. And THANK YOU, I'm sick of reading about those turdknockers.P

He said a whole lot of nothing

Additionally, the Big10 would never accept what Tom Brady called a glorified community college and the SEC doesn’t need a rodeo clown like Cody Campbell.

I have spent a good amount of time in west Texas and around west Texas folks, Tech grads mostly, and they are generally really good hard working honest folks. I really hope the judges in Lubbock look at this kid, the coaches and administrators, agents, and the circus and tell them that regardless of how this may impact a football season they will not ever support an injunction like this. If you bet on your team you’re done, period. Morality from a judge and court, what a novel concept lol.

Not so sure about that … He’s very well respected and looked up to in HS coaching community I do think he’s taking a big hit behind the scenes in coaching community right now

My nephew played with Troy son. I went to a couple of the games. He is always teaching, no matter. Great guy, we need more of that teaching college and youngsters in travel baseball. Troy impressed me as a person. No matter he takes time out to teach.

Texas is up and at it this morning for round two
