Speaking of penalties, I don't know if it was DKR, FA, DMcW, JM, or MB, but I revender a coach bringing in paid college or HS refs to take part in practice. And call out penalties. I think I remember the coach said it disrupted things, but the discipline improved from all the teaching moments. It seems like this might be beneficial for Sark and company who don't seem to have a handle on how to fix the problem. And yes, I'm old enough to remember DKRs program. I actually got to interview DKR a couple of times for my Dad's newsletter. Hook'em

Nah I don't think so. Beers has one foot out the door and Chavez gets all the attention when she's done. At Texas she would have to compete with the number 1 ranked recruiting class, Booker, Lee, AC, and even Vic. Chavez was trying to win she wanted the spotlight.

This is my issue and what I feel like the OTF staff is not quite getting. I love the otf family and they're not the staff so the blame is not on them but folks aren't upset about Texas identifying the Michigan guys and making strong offers that were turned down. We get that it wasn't realistic to expect perfection but what's annoying is the team not acknowledging how badly the staff pivoted (or failed to pivot) afterwards. A guy like Tellek Lockette was seemingly just sitting in the portal for weeks from right down the road at Texas St and it seemed Texas kept playing around with the idea of bringing him on campus to visit but then would decide last minute to not. There's also All-American guard Laurence Seymore out of Western Kentucky who doesn't seem like we've shown any interest maybe because he's only 6'2 and isn't a big enough human. If Texas pivoted and waved those two in and we had an oline portal class of Siani, Seymore, Lockett, Sikorski & Newman then I think most people would feel like the needs were addressed. Sure, they aren't all grand slams or even homeruns but sometimes even just singles & doubles with a sacrifice bunt can get the job done. That's where Sark has failed and the otf staff not acknowledging that is where I think some of the frustration with them lies.

Tennessee is a beautiful State. My mom lived and worked in Franklin for a while, and we vacationed up there. I've driven through Knoxville and around Neyland, but I've never been to a game there. All who are fortunate enough to go will have a blast, especially if we play well and win.

Thank you for that info. Very helpful.

heard baker never played guard? crikey

Not where we thought it would be but I guess we have no choice but to roll with that.

@CJ Vogel How about a guest appearance on Monday's Coffee & Football by your favorite Coffee & Football sponsor - 😁!!! I am available on Monday mornings!!!! You know, get a little "pure fan" take on the game!! Seriously, OTF is killing it across the board. Proud to be a partner with y'all!! I get most of my intake from the YouTube shows, but then do I jump on here to look for some more hot off the press info, especially during recruiting windows and now with the portal. Candidly, with regard to this online site, if there was a technology feature that allowed us to go to a thread and just have it auto-jump as we click to the next Mod response within that thread, that would be really awesome for when we are in a hurry but still want to see what you all share in responses. Who knows, maybe that tech is already here, or right around the corner. Hook'em from Longhorn Wealth!!

Chavez going to regret that decision baaaad

Glad I got through! And I hope you’re ok!

Any interest from Texas we offered him. @CJ Vogel@Bobby Burton@Gerry Hamilton

I said this and with the Morgan Wallen walk out.

Seating is similar in Bryant Denny as well. That game there in 23’ was about the tightest squeeze I’ve had to deal with for an entire game. Didn’t help that I had a couple pretty big fellas next to me either lol.

You know what? You finally convinced me. It just took you writing 500 posts with the same message for me to see the light. Why are we even lacing ‘em up this year? @Gerry Hamilton @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel @Rod Babers @Jeff Howe Please let the team and coaches know that because we didn’t sign a JAG Guard out of the portal, we are going to be trash this year. None of the guys on the roster have a chance to step up and play well. Not sure what they are even doing on the roster tbh. Just have everyone redshirt this year so we can wait for a shot next portal season. It’s all Flood’s fault that the good guards decided to stay at their current schools instead of coming to Texas. Nothing else is at fault. Just Flood…send him to the woodshed. See yall in 2027 because we have no shot this year… 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m sure they’ll cross train Baker since he’s the swing OT, but I’m sure they’ll get him tons of guard reps first and foremost. Start of Spring, I’d guess: LT - Chatman / Turntine LG - Baker / Christian C - Robertson / Sikorski RG - *Portal / Sikorski or Coleman RT - Siani / Newman Ultimately, I believe Chatman is probably the backup LG, but for Spring he probably needs to take LT snaps so that Baker can get LG reps. Chatman has previously repped at both Come fall: LT - Goosby / Siani LG - Baker / Chatman C - Robertson / Sikorski RG - *Portal / Sikorski or Coleman RT - Siani / Baker 🤘🏼

I went to Knoxville to see the Vols play a&m in 2023. It was their checker board game and the atmosphere was great. Tennessee pulled it out in the 4th quarter which was nice too. But they really pack you in there like sardines.

If you feel this confident you should bet the house on us sucking. Don’t let that scouting talent go to waste.

2 years in a row flood has shite the bed and his buddy sark still employs him. Can’t wait to watch 3rd and 1 get stuffed with our small rbs behind a line that couldn’t block to save their life while trying to run it up the gut with a stacked box bc everybody knows what sark is running. Struck out on line and rb in the portal. Maybe boom can score on defense

Also, big ups to Mark for providing the tips. Many people will need to take this advice to heart this weekend.

Just fyi before anyone starts complaining: deleted posts that mentioned politics and political figures. Plenty of places to express your political views, just not here please. Not saying they all were, but they could very easily send this thread spiraling out of control.

yes take some fliers on some lineman in the portal . there are some that will come for a roster spot and a joe zura rubber duckie u would think Yo. LFG Sark

Well we offered guys, brought some in but the reality is not everyone entering had interest in coming here. That happens. Not like the staff didn’t try to get guys…. People act like the coaches neglected the interior OL on purpose cause they are blind to the need there.

Going to be a jacked up, loud, OU SUCKS crowd!

Good that’s what they need to beat the South Carolinas, UConns and LSUs of the world.
