With the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 all in the same room, you’re basically watching the top tier lay the groundwork for their own rulebook. This is the first real step toward the power leagues running the sport themselves and everyone else having to adjust.

Ferdynard "Fred" Z. Bednarski, Jr. (12 December 1936 – 23 March 2024) was an American football player who, as a placekicker for the Texas Longhorns, kicked the first "soccer-style" field goal in American football history.[1] He is often credited with introducing the "soccer-style" kick to American football, which revolutionized the element of place-kicking in the sport.[2]

Just watched a special on PBA about Fred Bednarski who was the first ever to kick soccer style field goal in a college football game. The kick was in Fayetteville against the hogs. He was a refugee from Poland and his family came to Texas after the war. He walked on to the Longhorns in 1956 . You should look up the program and watch . It was very inspirational. He was #35 and played for Coach Royal. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I love how every OL thread just devolves to sh*t talking Kyle Flood.

I 100% agree, just thought I’d give Rocky a warning to run before #FloodFlock gets ahold of him

@Gerry Hamilton seeing people talk bad about his boy flood on this thread

Speaking of Texas State, I think they forgot to add them to the schedule here. https://ontexasfootball.com/schedule/

Kind of early but I can’t make the game this year. (Terrible I know) I’m going to take the 2 tickets to the market next week but figured I’d start here. Anyone interested? Section 10 row 71

On OT you are correct on IOL he is a fraud

you’re arguing past the point and sidestepping what I’m actually saying. . More bodies with real snaps absolutely help the overall unit -- nobody’s arguing against that. Obviously having more capable bodies helps the overall unit. The issue is that the spot we’re talking about wasn’t just “a little shaky,” it was the one area that kept getting blown up. That’s why they went out and grabbed a veteran with a ton of experience. Sure, the room is stronger. Sure, multiple guys can compete. But that doesn’t change the expectation for the guy they targeted to stabilize the position. If he doesn’t take it, that’s not some “look how many options we have now” moment - that’s the staff missing on a fix they actively went out and found. Depth helps the group. It doesn’t erase what they brought Seymore here to do.

i went to texas state trying to save my alma matter the whoopings

Careful, the flood flock will swarm you if you talk too loud because he produces a first round pick every couple years so that makes up for a terrible unit

🖕🏼🍺😂

Just here to watch @Joe Zurahead explode!

Depth doesn’t change the equation? The whole point of depth is having more quality options at your disposal to solve problems so you aren’t having to start Connor Stroh when another guy shows he isn’t ready. The addition of Seymore and Sikorski, a healthy Cojoe, another year of development from Coleman, a blue chip HS OL in Turntine…all factor into the equation of improving LG, wherever directly or indirectly. Seymore is not the only option and it would be malpractice if he was.

I love these conversations, and I might be totally off here, but none of that really touches the point I was trying to make. More returning snaps across the line absolutely helps the overall unit --- Again, no argument there. But that doesn’t change the expectation at that spot. That position was the soft spot last season, and the staff went out and grabbed a veteran with a ton of experience specifically to stabilize it. If he doesn’t take that job, that’s not some “look how much deeper we are now” moment. That’s the staff missing on a targeted fix. Depth helps the room, sure. It doesn’t erase what they brought Seymore here to do.

That’s fair, but the criticism comes where it took them 6 weeks to figure out the correct lineup. It would be unacceptable for Sark & Flood to not have a solution after having the entire offseason to address it.

Nobody said “play him for optics.” The point is simple: you don’t bring in a multi‑season starter to maybe fix the soft spot in the middle. That spot was a weekly liability, and Seymore was added to erase it. If he can’t beat out a steady-but-limited returner, that’s not “healthy competition,” that’s the same evaluation issue we’ve seen before. And sure, having more guys with real snaps helps --- no argument there. But depth doesn’t change the expectation at that specific spot. LG was a problem. They went and got someone who’s supposed to solve that problem. If he doesn’t, that’s on the staff, not on the idea of competition.

Hope the offense is clicking asap for a change. We will need it humming sooner rather than later if we hope to reach the mountaintop.
