@CJ Vogel do you anticipate Spence playing LB at all next year? I know they like him at edge, but he was so good at Arkansas at LB. Seems like he could fill at least part of the void left by Hill.

So head to head matters but only sometimes? Why were we ranked behind Vandy in the last poll even though we beat them and it was WORSE not closer than the score indicated. BYU being ahead of us is just a f-u to Texas for thinking we could possibly bring a valid case to upset this stupid approach. We need to expand now. We have teams opting out of meaningless bowl games because there’s literally zero point to playing them for the older guys. Common opponents ND loses to us too. Miami does deserve to be in but somehow they magically moved up 8 spots with a win over Pitt versus us moving 3 spots and being ranked ahead of them with three losses and a dominant win against the number 3 team in the country. We shouldn’t have lost to Florida?? Fine, then kick bama out and put BYU in because they shouldn’t have lost to FSU. G5 has no business being at the table and effectively created a bye for the 2 teams that play them. Instead we get a Bama OU snooze rematch? Horrible, just pitiful. The irony at this point is that we wanted TAMU and OU to go deep enough in the playoffs and get smoked by osu and UGA so we again have an argument posthumously that they got it wrong and we should’ve been dancing.

Josh Cameron or Amare Thomas make a lot of sense. Cameron makes the most sense with how things are going at Baylor.

He's used to getting that free Oregon money.

I’d agree with @TexasFanatic Dont think you need an all conference level guy at linebacker, but certainly not a developmental piece. Kentucky LB Landyn Watson fits what I would target right now. Just someone who can give you 10-20 quality snaps and could step in as a starter should someone go down. I’m looking for a David Gbenda level role to be filled at LB out of the portal.

That’s worth paying non-premium NIL for. Not getting into a bidding war for

That’s……not how the site makes money, Joe. lol

You'd have to ban yourself first lol

Sweat murphy also had the luxury of playing in the big 12.

I love Watson and hope he’s back next year. He has a lot of upside

Make me mod and I’ll ban everyone and take all the smoke

These head to heads are like a fine wine. If the selection show would have been a couple of weeks down the road, who’s knows, maybe our head to heads against Oklahoma and A&M would have been considered more valuable. There are only 3 teams in the playoffs I’m scared of.

I appreciate the effort Bobby but some of the experts on these threads can’t help themselves 🙄

Having 2 5th year seniors who stayed with you all 5 years is so rare. Alfred and Vernon feel like the last of a dying breed.

FWIW - over the next couple of months, I think it hurts Texas for people to be speaking negatively about current players on the roster. Let the coaching staff decide who they want to keep and who they don’t. Some opinions I’ve read in this thread are woefully uninformed and can only be used as fodder for opponents. That’s reality. I don’t mind due consideration and discussion. I do mind over the top stuff that is just blatantly untrue or entirely misinformed.

So true.

As an underclassman Broughton got put on skates more than any DT I’ve seen at Texas. He surprisingly cleaned that up by his final year and held the point of attack well. I’m sure Watson will too.

Yurachek makes Kamala's word salads seem almost coherent...

The dude was a true sophomore. Your memories of those guys are in their 4th and 5th years. DTs get better with time. We’ll be better off if he has time to mature here.

Got my tix and hotel. Let's go!

Sark already said we would honor the 26/27 games against Ohio State and Michigan.

I like Watson, think he has good upside, but I wouldn't overpay for him. We need some bigger bodies in the middle that can make plays. Feel like we were pushed around a lot in the middle this year. Hoping Sharma can take a big step forward, because he's got the size/talent you want in the middle. Would also expect J.Terry to take up a ton of snaps, January to keep improving and hoping Kanu comes back. Not sure what Johnson is going to do, don't recall seeing him much.
