I wasn't going to bust the news because of the timing of me being there ... but Kavian Bryant is now officially scheduled to announce his commitment November 1. It's Tech or Texas More chatter on the Tech side right now.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone on offense knew we were playing a football game

Do we think Mateer is betting on the over thinking he’s going to dominate Texas? Maybe he’ll Venmo it. I’m actually not worried about this team turning things up now that they’ve been knocked down. Get your ass back up Shane it off and start punching. We have to be the aggressor. Hell if we’re getting this many penalties let’s get some for being too physical DJ Campbell and Trevor Goosby I’m looking at yall.

Interesting not about the sideline. Haven’t been to a game yet and I hadn’t noticed that on the broadcasts. I remember seeing Cole Brevard on the sidelines for a playoff game or two last season and he was hyped up, which I loved because he wasn’t really even part of the team yet. Hopefully some guys like that can start being more vocal.

This was noticeable after the Taffee interception when they all ran to the sidelines and everyone from offense seemed disinterested in celebrating.

We need the Hills brothers to talk to these guys in the locker room on Saturday.

@CJ Vogel Two Qb philosophical questions. Should a QB look deep to sort or short to deep? And why? If you have a WR singled up, is it ever a bad choice to make that throw? I’m not asking if it’s the best choice.

The NCAA is now allowing d1 athletes to bet on pro sports https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/46532269/ncaa-allows-division-athletes-bet-professional-sports

It certainly isn't encouraging.

Pretty sad that we have to have a conversation about “bringing physicality,” in year 5 of Sark.

Not in all cities.

There’s nobody on the o line I’d be scared to run into in a dark alley. They all just seem too nice and mellow. There’s no Kelvin banks in there giving Bijan Robinson a blank stare after an attempt at cracking a joke.

I think this season emphasized the fact that you need leaders on the Line of Scrimmage, they set the tone.

Texas fans know, this game is won on momentum, emotion and who wants it more. I typically hate the "Team X lost because Team Y wanted it more" nonsense that you hear on broadcasts and recaps. You are telling me one team just didn't care to try and win a football game? But in the case of these Red River Shootouts, this is largely the case. You see coaches on either side of the river call trick plays and become the most aggressive version of themselves in this football game because they know they must do anything and everything to win this football game. It means that much to both football teams in a given year. In regards to Texas, playing in the 2025 Red River Shootout means playing for your season. A third loss in six games slams the door shut on every goal you hoped to achieve as the preseason No. 1 team with the Heisman favorite leading your huddles. Poof. Gone, after six weeks. It was shocking to see the Longhorns get bodied in the trenches on both sides of the ball in Gainesville. Yet, I can't help but think that performance may be copy-pasted to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday given the body of work we have seen on the offensive line this season. However, the old adage goes A Hungry Dog Runs Faster. We will see just how hungry Texas is on Saturday. Does this team have what it takes to right the ship? To turn around what has not been a sufficient start to the season and defeat its biggest rival on a stage where things are trending in opposite directions for each team? Even bigger than that – does Texas possess the necessary leadership on its football team right now to stay the course if things start slow? Again, my answer to that remains an unknown. However, I lean towards no. For all of the talk about culture in the Texas program, this is the definition of a culture game. Rebounding from an embarrassment on national television to a team that was very much looking for a reason to punch it in and a fan base ready to fire up FlightAware is step No. 1 to getting the season back on track. Someone outside of the typical Michael Taaffes and Anthony Hills and occasional Colin Simmons has to take the reigns as a leader and ultimately will their team to a victory. This weekend will be a big test for those guys as well. You just had your food taken and eaten right in front of you in Gainesville last Saturday and only after the grave was dug did you see some fight to survive. Offensively, I don't think you have a leader. Closest thing you have right now is DeAndre Moore. I won't ever question how much he cares about winning football games. That was a guy who was so frustrated after the UTEP game, it looked like he was close to tears – and he could not even play due to injury. He cares. Texas needs more guys like that. To show that they care. Additionally, the Texas sidelines are noticeably quieter in 2025 than they were in 2024. There is no rah-rah guy. It appears to me that there are ten guys who look in a huddle on a given snap and think "We have Arch, it will be alright." Maybe that eventually becomes the case with Arch. Where the SuperMan cape is sewn into his jersey and he can't help but be the reason why the offense goes. But that clearly is not the case right now. And perhaps all of this becomes moot by the 2nd quarter of this game on Saturday. But right now, I have not seen enough to give the Texas offense any benefit of the doubt when it comes to heart and passion. This game on Saturday is great. It squeezes every ounce of passion out of teams, especially when backs are against the wall much like they are for Texas entering the weekend. But Texas must fend for itself. Until I see that hungry dog start hunting for its own food rather than waiting for the dinner bowl to be served, I fear this weekend, and subsequently the remainder of the season, could be one that turns Saturdays into a day of dread rather than excitement and anticipation.

I’m not trolling, genuinely want you to stay on this board and not get banned again. That’s all!

Keep trolling. And funny coming from the dude who keeps getting timeouts here.

He’s a young QB with a crap oline. Ask yourself how first year Quinn would do. It takes time and experience. The way he moves around in a dirty pocket (almost every play) is elite. next year if the oline improves, I look for him to be a top 3 college QB.

I’m just trying to help you out - want you to stay on this site for your in depth input and substantive responses

The one in which he is talking about ripping the post that ends at 3:32. The one in which the Db is over the top in prime position to break on the ball. At 7:45, he’s paused it. He’s yammering about the safety in the middle. Screenshot below. That safety is done on a well thrown ball because he and Wingo are even at the 50. He’s not running faster than Wingo and will have a greater distance to travel. Undoubtedly, the short route is the top choice, but Wingo had better leverage here than on the previous play. That safety was outside the hash to start, turns his back to Wingo as he moves to the middle of the field. So, there’s likely a justified reason for Arch’s actions. At some point, you’ve passed the point of no return with a heavy pass rush. I’m thinking rush or not he’s going deep. It’s certainly a far lower percentage throw, but no one is complaining if there’s 6 on the board. You may also have some defensive subtlety too on this particular play. Murray does mention a time or two that he’s not sure what’s discussed in meetings. I’ve heard a little about UF running cover 2. Colleges will run some different coverages and sometimes they blow it, but sometimes it’s not egregious enough to screw up but moreso add confusion to the QB. He never addresses the coverage (actually he says single high) but it looks as though we’re going deep thirds. Otherwise, there’s talk of cover 2 and 4. So, if we’re working all week on cover 2/4, then this is an unexpected variation with pretty quick pressure, that’s part of the equation. So, explain to us Murray what happens to your eyes, your reads if the defense gives you unexpected looks? Defenses have evolved a great deal in the last 10 years. Maybe that didn’t happen much. Murray clearly knows the position but seems to forget he was a 62% passer with some variation of missed reads, slow reads, pressure that caused him to miss on 38% of his balls. The context surrounding these discussions is sorely lacking.

I haven't been kicked off any sites. Quit lying. I left OB almost a year ago by my choice. Still on IT and here. Keep trying. I knew you would revert to a personal attacks. It’s all you do.

I just see the steam coming out of your head trying to formulate some semblance of a response - keep doing you, man. About to get yourself kicked off of another site 😂

LOL. White Knighting is cute.

This team currently has 7 3-0 sweeps in a row. The record is 9 in a row, completed twice in the 2007 and 2009 seasons. In 2004 the team had 8 consecutive sweeps. In 2009, the team won 30 consecutive sets during that 9 match sweep streak. They could have run the streak to 15 matches but they dropped a set to #6 Nebraska before reeling off 9 consecutive sweeps. They beat two ranked teams during that streak. The team lost to penn state in the championship finals. The 2007 streak of 9 sweeps included 30 consecutive sets won and wins over ranked OU (twice) and #1 Nebraska. That team lost to #5 USC in the Elite 8. The 2004 run of 8 consecutive sweeps came at the beginning of the season and included no ranked opponents. They won 24 consecutive sets.

Has Hashtag said anything incorrect?
