Yeah. You’re saying “Sayin is definitely more athletic” than Baker. I guess we’ll see we play each other these next two years so we will get to know him well

I, for one, would prefer a national championship over a conference championship.

I might go to a USC post game just to give Lincoln Riley some ribbing over his brisket.

I can definitely agree with you there that Baker, although I wouldn’t call him athletic (comparatively at least), I would definitely agree that he is “sneaky” athletic, or more athletic than given credit for. I think Sayin’s reputation will be very similar once he gets more playing time.

The main longhorns message board antagonist is tired of being antagonized. Such a shame. I’ll wear your ignore like a badge of honor. No longer just a fraud but a soft fraud.

Great idea. OU loses to Jackson Arnold and fans get to see Venables right after. What could go wrong?

Growing up in Houston, I was part of Astros and Oilers fan clubs for kids. These were sponsored by the teams and gave perks like autographs, access to the field before or after games, photographs with certain players. It was an awesome experience and it made me a die hard fan…for about two months until they went on strike. The point is, we will see more and more experiences like these to connect with fans and raise money and that isn’t a bad thing.

Sounds good man. He has finished in the top 10 for QBs for rushing the past few years. His escape ability is pretty good.

Would be the ultimate troll if we beat them this year to buy a bunch of press passes for the game afterwards in Norman with UT gear on

It feels like he's been around longer than he has. He's only a redshirt freshman.

On another note, I know it’s been mentioned the staff loves Cruz. Is he just not ready at this point? I was hoping he would be the starter at C this year based on reviews of him last season.

Hey @Bobby Burton I heard you mention Happiest Hour in your chat with Nick. My OU group has been going there the past theee years after the game and it’s been a lot of fun. The place is huge the food is great and it has a lot of TVs for post OU game watching. If you and the OTF ever needed a place to post up after OU I highly recommend that place as a post show location. Lots of horns there. We bumped into Wisners entire family there last year after his big game. Give it a look when you’re up there for the Third and Longhorn thing and see what you think? Hook’em.

Your antagonism here is just bandwidth drain at this point. The rest of the board doesn't care.. Show the therapist on the doll where you think I may have touched you and things will eventually get better. For me, you're now on ignore and I'm happy living with the idea that "pinkman_90" doesn't like me and really needs me to know that.

Amen. Had a drink with CTJ in New Orleans prior to the Washington game and it was fun tracing back the 20 years of message boards together. We’re all on the same team. Hook’em.

I’m the furthest thing from a “trust the coaches” person. I just don’t like you. Wanted to clear that up.

Pretty sure Smith will be his first read. That dude… he’ll kill you in man. Zone… just get it near him, and he’ll snatch. He’s like a slightly bigger Andre Johnson. Really difficult to get in his catch radius given how he uses his body. Gotta get in Sayin’s kitchen quick or at least let him feel ya at pre-snap (ie make him think you’re coming).

I don't know why you quoted me here. -I've never been a big fan of the portal for OL help. There is not a post of mine on the Internet since Sarkisian's arrival where I've stated that Texas should go big in the portal. -I liked the Goosby take at the time due to his athleticism and the fact that that class was going to have trouble landing a 5 star OT with Banks already starting as a freshman. -I don't think I've ever typed the name "Pregnon" on this site until right now. Texas kicked the tires on him but Oregon was willing to pay starter money and it didn't make a lot of sense for Texas to do anything there. Portal talk about the OL is all hindsight nonsense. Flood doesn't want to build via patchwork from random G5s, FCS and P4 backups. There aren't a ton of good starting OL in the portal and those that are there cost an arm and a leg. If folks want to level a criticism at Flood, it's not taking enough OLs in the past few cycles. I'm not one of those people saying that, but I understand the logic coming from folks. I'm not some boogieman here, wishing ill will on the program or running down coaches. You guys think you sense a whiff of criticism at a coach or staff and y'all lose your minds. It's absurd. In any event, I got my question answered, if not from the original guy here with the story. Goosby's injury is something to watch for the OSU game. Can he play through the pain and then heal up before UF? Or is there going to be patchwork without him? Either way, it's not nothing and he could very well miss a lot more time than "the next few practices".

You probably also thought Goosby was a loser who was just backing up Banks and we should have gone out to the portal to have an experienced back behind him. Oh and btw Goosby also played RT and could have come in at guard because there is this little thing Flood does in practice called cross training. You also have most likely not considered that Flood is putting Neto in the spot to understand "if" he can play LT in an emergency situation. That is what practice is for. If he had to go to his 4th Tackle option during a game, should it be Neto or one of the freshmen? Tackles: Goosby, Baker, Brooks, Neto/Chatman? You are probably correct in hindsight about getting Pregnon. I don't know if he was really an option or not. At the time, I'm assuming the staff was prioritizing other players and were comfortable with the depth we had.

Norman, OK — Oklahoma is offering fans a chance to attend postgame press conferences, but it won’t be cheap. It’s one of the “Sooner Magic Memories” offerings the program has created to give fans greater access this season. The cost for two people to sit in on the media session after the Oklahoma-Michigan nonconference showdown on September 6 is $692.11. For the Southeastern Conference home opener September 20 against Auburn, it’s $576.86. “Get exclusive postgame media access for you and one guest and see where real-time reactions unfold,” the advertisement says. “Hear OU coaches and players address reporters moments after the final whistle. Watch the story take shape through the questions, the insights, and the atmosphere that set the headlines.” The Michigan and Auburn numbers might seem steep, but the cost for the Illinois State season opener on August 30 is $461.61 – and it’s already sold out. Other offerings include pregame photos on the 50-yard line, a high five tunnel, game ball delivery and halftime field access. Athletic departments across the country are looking for new revenue sources as the cost of fielding teams and attracting top talent rises in the NIL era. The House settlement that took effect July 1 allows each participating school to share up to $20.5 million in revenue directly with their athletes even as more than $2.5 billion is paid back to current and former athletes who sued over restrictions on their ability to earn compensation.

I guess I don’t know…

Yeah, I think it’s best that we just agree to disagree. I’ve read every practice report for the past two years, listened to nearly every Ohio State podcast and watched every snap Baker took in the NFL preseason and regular season. I’m not sure where this reputation of Baker being athletic is coming from.

I thought Ohio State lost four starters on the oline. Did they bring in experienced transfers?

He also frequently shares articles from here on Surly Horns. I’m surprised you guys allow this. Do mods look the other way because he has affluence and influence? He’s been doing this for years.

This a big nothing burger.
