Also if Ole Miss didn't choke a massive 8 run lead with 3 outs to go; they likely win that regional as well.

Read my follow-up post. They clearly are a blue blood program based on overall resume, but at what point does their downward trajectory kick them out of the club? OU will be competitive going forward, but they are never going to be a dominant force in college football again unless something drastic changes like pooling revenues.

Nebraska isn’t a blood.

No brainer

Take off the brunt orange glasses. OU is definitely a blue blood

My first favorite Longhorn in any sport!

Absolutely right on Deshon Elliott! He was a menace and is often left out of the DBU conversations, or at least not recognized the way he should be given how impressive of a season he had. Great read Jeff.

The “one student athlete and one season” is misleading. This would set precedent which would have far reaching implications for future student athlete gambling.

“Joey the Mouth” -Bobby

It’s ok. Bobby is on record that he hates the Midwest. Ask @Joe Zura

Yes!! Brooks is my absolute favorite of all time! So cool his son in on the football team?!

I couldn't stress this any more Jeff. I am a firm believer as I've stated in other threads that investing in the premium positions in high school is the most efficient way to build a championship roster. Camara to me is worth the gamble to develop into a franchise LT. Same with KJ Green. I think he is well worth the money with us losing Colin if we don't have a chance to give DJ Jacobs the ranch.

Oregon, TAMU cursive, or Maryland flag

Along with those, any time I can get the 🐐's name (Kieschnick) published in an article, my 9-year-old self enjoys it!

Easy!

Who has the ugliest helmet? Oregon when they do that silver, metallic stuff?

Lol, 6M and counting with those legal fees!

I enjoyed working with Barton Simmons (now Vanderbilt's GM) at 247Sports. But man, when I had Brian Perroni go back in and change Elliott's ranking to a four-star after the Top247 was finalized, I was rightfully ripped a new one (and, FWIW, I told Perroni to blame me if he got any flak for changing the ranking).

Elliot is a stud and wish we wouldn’t had a healthier version of him during his entire career here! Pack is a beast, love seeing Omar Quintanilla and Drew Stubbs mentions!!

This is hilarious. His feelings of "connection" have nothing to do with the principle involved, which is players can't be permitted to gamble on teams of which they are a member.

This helmet not the dumb alternate stuff

Yes, they are clearly a historic blue blood. But if that’s your criteria, then so is Nebraska. I know OU just made the playoff, but they are not even a top-tier SEC program IMO. And they have competitive disadvantages that make it highly unlikely they will ever come close to the kind of success they’ve had historically. Let me put it like this: OU may still be a blue blood based on their total resume, but we might be reevaluating that in 10 years. They are not a blue blood over the NEXT 50 years.

I'll continue to emphasize the importance of Texas having homegrown prospects at quarterback, left tackle and EDGE. It's a positive factor in building the 2026 roster that isn't discussed enough. You can think of recruiting now as NFL teams that hit on draft picks. Yes, you have to pay for elite players. But an established relationship is more conducive to negotiating a deal all sides deem fair (and that's before getting to the uniqueness of Arch's situation, relative to other quarterbacks of his ilk). It would've cut way deeper into the allocated funds in January if Texas had to go on the open market to get anything close to what it has in Arch, Goosby and Simmons.
