Last year the committee was clear that a CCG loser won’t be penalized. But they also said they would give more weight to SOS and clearly that’s hogwash.

Awesome. I love to hear stories like this. God bless you all.

Ok I was just making sure because I had never seen his name before

Interestingly enough, if Alabama loses to OU specifically and they along with Aggy, Mississippi, and Texas all finish the regular season 7-1 in SEC play, it would mean Texas finishes at the top of the conference standings facing Bama in the SEC Championship game. So basically Texas has to win out and either have Bama lose to OU or Mississippi lose to either Florida or Mississippi State. Those are the two most likely ways Texas makes it to Atlanta.

God bless you and your family, @Blake Munroe! Last year my wife almost died (suffered from something called an AFE) during the C Section of our triplets girls and OTF was able to help keep me distracted during some dark times. So grateful to hear that Colt is doing better.

You picked a great name for a tough young warrior. Prayers up for you, Colt and your entire family. Thank you for keeping us up to date with his progress, y'all truly feel like family here. God is great 🙏🏼

If Ole Miss, A&M, and Texas finish 7-1 in conference in a 3-way tie, Ole Miss will go

Blake, May God continue to bless Colt and your family; and may you always appreciate his gifts and those of the people who surround you.

God bless you and your family Blake. Always in our prayers.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to. Less mouths to feed = more NIL dollars?

Glad he’s doing so well Blake !

But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters. Amen.

Haven't heard Texas making a real push ... to this point.

Yeah not really sure how that ranking was decided upon.

It’s been one year since I’ve tweeted this out: One year to the day, actually. Over the past few days I’ve re-read every response to this tweet. Ive gone back to the OnTexasFootball message boards and read every response on a thread where a poster asked for prayers for my son. I’ve thought about a lot, including what I would write when this day finally came. I thought about writing about the journey that was filled with twists and turns at damn near every stop. How we went back into the hospital twice since then. I’ve thought about writing about that night that was filled with so much uncertainty. Where doctors and nurses filled his ICU room, where he was losing blood at an alarming rate. When the Chaplain came at 2 AM and bent the truth, telling my wife he was “just making the rounds” while I sat beside Colt, watching my son look like he never has before, a white pale face and a lifeless body… All while they try to pump 11 units of blood in him to save his life. And how the smell of blood permeated the air to the point it made me nauseous. An unfortunate scene that replays in my mind at least weekly and makes me shudder every time it does so. I’ve thought about this more over the last few days than I have the last few months, if I’m being honest. From that thinking, I’ve come away with two conclusions. First, despite all the hardships and changes, my son is a fighter. Losing 30 pounds, having no appetite, losing all the strength that he has worked so hard to build up, being poked and prodded, having to walk when he didn’t have energy to stand, along with thousands of other things… He persevered. He fought through it all and stands here today, bigger, stronger, faster, and most importantly, healthy. From initially being told he might not get to play sports again to just months later playing baseball, running track, and even getting back on the football field, Colt is the true definition of perseverance. It hasn’t been easy, nor was it quick, but he worked his butt off to get back to where he is today. The lessons he learned along the way over the past year will help him all throughout life, not just on the field. He’ll always know that he has the strength and mindset to overcome anything. Secondly, the other conclusion I’ve come away with, is the simple fact that we were surrounded by a great community and had phenomenal support. Not only people from our hometown offering to help in any way possible, but people from all over as well. Whether that be an SEC rival’s football coach (who shall go unnamed) reaching out, to a certain player on Colt‘s favorite football team who is now like a brother to him, to one of the nation’s best baseball coaches asking if there was anything they can do to help. It didn’t stop there, however, as hundreds and hundreds of messages poured in, people asking to send gifts, food, prayers… whatever it may be. I would be here all day listing them and I can’t thank each and every one of them enough. People in Comanche also went above and beyond. There are numerous I want to name personally, but I won’t. They weren’t doing it for recognition, but instead were doing it for all the right reasons. To all of those people, I can’t thank you enough. Your support, through a multitude of avenues, lifted us up when we needed it the most. I want to extended a special thank you to the OTF community as well. Yall still check on him to this day and that means a lot. From the super chats, to your posts… those who asked Bobby to get ahold of me for many different reasons… all of it. Words can’t express how much it means to not only myself, but my wife and kids as well. As for Colt, he’s come a long way. He still has quarterly visits to specialists. He still has to watch what he does. He still has to take precautions. But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters.

Has OVs scheduled to other schools on our home game weekends..

Texas offered last July, I don't believe he has made it to campus to this point. He was at Tennessee last weekend.

One more ... Miami has the same 6-2 record as Notre Dame and Miami beat Notre Dame head-to-head yet Miami is ranked 8 spots lower than ND.

Saw this on instagram

Only 13 saw court time a year ago. Hard to say players 14 and 15 on the roster will contribute in any basketball team, mens or womens.

...the NCAA allows 15 scholarship players per team. I wonder why Coach Vic didn't fill those last two slots? Sark makes sure ever schollie is filled in football. Not sure about the other sports. Surely, there are two good players out there who would be able to contribute. Rant over.

That florida L really put us in a bad spot. Georgia will be a huge hurdle to overcome.

Texas definitely trying to get him in Nov. 22 or for the Aggies game. Will be playoff schedule dependent

👀

it’s out there about Anderson coming Horns/tamu game. I’m waiting for your confirmation before believing the industry chops.
