Do you not think Texas’ DBs are going to be a problem?

If Eltife is sold I am sold...

I love watching his film studies. Thanks for sharing!

This is direct from Chairman of the Board Kevin Eltife: “We are excited for Jim to take the helm. We will continue to work hand in hand to benefit our great institutions and as all understand the importance of athletics as the front door to our university.“

Ohio State has to keep Sayin clean so the Tackles need to have their head on a swivel. I believe if they do this then Sayin will have a big day. I am guessing Day will let him sling it early and often. I see Klare as a big X-factor picking up chunk yards in this game. Also I see the Freshman Bo Jackson taking over as lead back by week 4. Arch will be a problem, but the OSU secondary vs Texas WR is advantageous to OSU. Texas will probably try to establish a run game, but OSU will give some 3-4 looks with LB crashing gaps on run blitzes to neutralize this. Interested to see what the D-Line does that is the biggest question for OSU defense this year. Offense will be fine 4 great options to distribute the ball to. RB unproven but as mentioned I would not be surprised to see Bo getting 8-10 carries in this game. Biggest question is how well these RB can pass block and or catch the ball on check downs and pick up yards. There will be times Sayin is scrambling for his life next Saturday.

Is Pat's Place still around?

Our friend Brooks Austin, aka The Film Guy, has a nice breakdown here on how he thinks Texas will defend Buckeye receiver Jeremiah Smith. I texted with Brooks this morning. He’s got this matchup circled in part because of how well Texas defended Smith in January.

No big deal, it would have been a pain to get there with traffic and my kid didn't get out of XC until 4. We will catch you at a tailgate.

I like Coffee and Football and listen a little bit every day. However, I think Inside Texas has great guys on the X and O’s of the game. Both are pro Texas no doubt but Bobby Burton tries to be fair about things. C.J. Is good but perhaps more homer. Gerry is great on recruits, all recruits even on Texas kids. The It guys shoot straight, and Ian knows how the game is played. 247 they are good overall.,

@Drunk randoke will be there. You both should probably stay home cause of that alone...

We had a couple of younger folks in the audience last night. They relaxed the rules somewhat because we kind of took over the whole place.

Talent wise, these teams are about even. Might give a slight edge to Ohio State as they, along with Alabama and Georgia, still have more talented rosters than Texas, but the gap is closing fast. I predict Texas will have the most talented roster in the country a year from now. Curious to see if the 247 Sports Team Talent Composite rankings agree with me. The 2025 version of that should be coming out in the next week or so with the season getting started this Saturday. But there's not a wide enough talent gap between these two teams for that to be the reason Texas wins or loses this game. When you have two teams with equal talent, it comes down to which team makes more splash plays. Ohio State made the two splash plays seven and a half months ago and that was the difference. We'll see if Texas can return the favor and come out of the Shoe 1-0.

Got it. Will talk to them tonight.

So appropriate!

I live in new braunfels,it depends on what you’re looking to eat. The places .45s suggests are good places.

Excellent. And of the reasons I left OB. The sports board became nothing more than a Political, food, travel and pissing forum.

That wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Sure was. Winning the national championship is the almighty Trump card. Especially when the B1G went 4-1 against teams competing for the playoffs.

TIn Top for good burgers. Union Station Diner for good breakfast and lunch and the same for the Buttermilk Cafe. Cooper's and Black's BBQ both have New Braunfels locations.

Never go full aggy. As I look at my UT Grad ring.

The game will come down to which QB does not make mistakes. Sayin has zero collegiate experience to speak of. His talent is undeniable, he has the weapons around him but what will that translate to on the field and how long of a leash does he get? Arch has some experience but looking at the numbers he did not face any noteworthy defenses. Arch's running ability is an X-factor but he has never seen a D or hostile environment like the shoe, if his line can keep him clean long enough to make plays with his arm that will open up his opportunities to run. ULM 51-3 15/29 258 yds, 2td 2 picks. They were the 84th Defense in D1 and the 9th defense in Sunbelt conference Miss St-35-13 26/31 325 yds, 2td/o picks. Good game against but against 125th defense in D1 UTSA 56-7 9/12 223yds, 4TD/0 Picks. They were 71st Defense in D1

I was very unclear. What I was trying to say was that Ohio State has better athletes than IOWA STATE. It might make the scheme work better. I'm not sure there's a team in college football that can out-athlete Texas.

@Bobby Burton in case you missed this.

Big was 6-4 vs SEC last year.

I see this as a 31-24 type game.
