Still the only game I have ever been to that I didn't stay for The Eyes. We were in the upper deck, the wind was whipping, and it was colder than anything I had ever felt. And we were about as prepared for the weather as the Horns were for the Canes. We made it to late in the 4th quarter, but it was more than we could stand...

Good job Cheese!

I said it then and I'll stand by it now, Quinn's best football will be on Sundays.

He talks like a chatGPT speech

The majority of Indiana’s starters are transfers (13 of 22), and all but one of their starting 22 is an upperclassmen (3rd year or more in college football). So, using high school recruiting rankings as a barometer of “talent” isn’t a particularly accurate measure of the talent Indiana is putting on the field. They are specifically selecting players from the portal who have already proven their ability at the collegiate level, so high school recruiting rankings are relevant to Indiana when selecting collegiate transfers. Further, Cignetti brought 11-12 upperclass players with him from JMU when he was hired 2 years ago, which means those players know the exact schemes and techniques that Cignetti coaches. While many of those players are gone now and only a few from JMU are on this years Indiana roster, the current players benefitted from a season of learning their positions from teammates who were experts in the techniques. As everyone could see this afternoon, Cignetti obsesses on every minute detail of his program, and roster construction is no different. He realizes that competing with other programs for highly ranked high school recruits may not be best for Indiana, which emphasizes upperclass players with years of development at the collegiate level (even if elsewhere). I don’t think Cignetti’s system would be optimized by bringing in 25 highly ranked high school players and expecting them to wait around for 2-3 years before getting on the field …. and particularly so in this Portal / NIL era when players will look around for better situations and paychecks every season. Personally, I think Cignetti’s approach to roster construction and having upperclassmen across the 2-deep depth chart is both unique and provocative. It reminds me of Bill Snyder at KSU back in the 1990s when he built that program from nothing to heights they’d never dreamed of. Cignetti is said to have a particularly expertise is evaluating players with specific traits (that fit his system), so add it all up and you get what we saw today at the Rose Bowl.

Justice is a female Barkley the way she cleans the glass

I love Jordan Lee and Justice Carlton. Those two sophomores are my favorite.

🤘

I never said i do, Did i? Yet i don’t want to fire every a coach anytime something happens that gets my panties in a bunch, That’s the difference. Don’t be triggered by truth lol

89-71 Horns! Rori had a great game. The Missou coach is really annoying. She gave Coach Vic a very quick handshake and didn't talk to him like most always do. I expect us to beat their arse by 40 at home.

Surely you know what you're talking about...... /s Get off your high horse, you're just as ignorant as the rest of us

Rori with 8 steals tonight.

😂 Booker kills you with a smile on her face. Far and away my favorite with Rori behind her.

View from the Cheap Seats-Michigan Horns are the Cheeziest The Arch Manning Show. What a fantastic performance, and precisely what Horn fans expected every week. It took young Arch more than a few games to settle in, and even after that, there were a couple of less-than-great performances. Please make no mistake, Arch finished VERY STRONG in his 6 of TEXAS last 8 games, starting with the Red River War. And he saved the very best for last vs the Aggies, then Michigan, where he would earn the Citrus Bowl MVP, just like his Uncle 28 years before. This game was very back-and-forth until the 4th quarter. You had the feeling that TEXAS was the better team but too many mistakes, fumbles, penalties and dropped passes, which seemed to allow Michigan to hang around. TEXAS’ most pleasant surprise of the game was the strong running by Christian Clark, returning from serious injuries in 2024 and good offensive line play. Late in the 3rd quarter, Arch took off on 23 and 60 yard TD runs while the D came up with 3 INTs. Mack’s inside the 10 INT snuffed out a strong Michigan drive then Ty’Anthony Smith closed out the game for the D with two big interceptions of his own. On the 1st play after the 2nd of Smith’s INTs in the 4th, Arch drops back, sees the D part like the Red Sea and took off on his 60 yard run which was the game’s back breaker. We must commend Arch, he would take the yards that were there, then get down or go out of bounds. Let the hype begin for 2026 as the Jones Boys announcing have already deemed him the 2026 Heisman favorite. A pair we generally enjoy watching the game but they had us diving for the dictionary with some of the YUGE words they tossed out. And just like that, it’s over. A season that began with far too much hype and expectations ended entirely too quickly. A season of massive highs, early lows, and a very robust finish. Going for an early “silver lining”, in SEC play, TEXAS is now 6-0 against their traditional rivals and, for the 2nd year in a row, knocked the Aggies out of the SEC title game, a game they have never qualified for. Still, 2025 was overhyped as a “deep playoff run” type of year, with TEXAS starting the season ranked #1 in the polls, with Arch Manning the preseason favorite to win the Heisman. If this season was playoffs or bust, then the reality is, TEXAS busted. We consider the season more of a letdown than a failure, but we remained concerned about some systemic problems that continue to bite TEXAS in the butt. So many want to claim the bowls are “meaningless”. Someone might want to tell the players because this bowl season has produced some great games, with the Citrus-Cheezit Bowl being one of them. Two of the Top 5 most successful teams of all time came out to prove something and put on a show. We should mention, 2 of the best helmets in college football as well. Guess the players missed the message the game was meaningless. Manning was the #1 recruit in the 2023 season while Michigan’s signal caller, Bryce Underwood, was this year #1 recruit. Not hard to see why, as he is talented. Give Manning experience, the difference in him having a much better day. Offensive Player of the Game (and the Year) Arch Manning. The Cheez-it/Citrus Bowl MVP threw for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns while rushing for 155 to lead all rushers and 2 touchdowns. When not taking off and running, his pocket movement to extend plays was notable and contributed to him not being sacked. Honorable Mention: Christian Clark made a statement. His return from injury certainly was a major factor in the win. 20 carries and 105 yards for 5.2 ypc and a TD were key to the offense. Defensive player of the Game: Ty’Anthony Smith’s two 4th quarter interceptions iced the game on the D side of the ball. He would lead all tacklers and add a tackle for loss. Defensive Player of the Year: Collin Simmons by a nose over Anthony “Ant” Hill who missed the last 3 games. Both 2nd team All-Americans Special teams player of the game: ? Nope,not this week Special teams Player of the Year All-American Returner Ryan Nibblet Stats that Matter 7.1/235 Rushing YPC and total yards. This team wins when it can run the ball 0-3 TEXAS coming off bye weeks or extended layoffs. Head scratcher 12-103 Penalties and yards given up vs Michigan. Over the past 4 years, TEXAS has steadily become one of the most penalized teams in the nation, going from #65 to #132. 1-3 Turnovers lost vs turnovers gained. TEXAS would score 10 off the three turnovers and the Mack INT (1st one) snuffed out a deep Michigan drive. 73 TEXAS finished #73 in the nation in 3rd down conversions. 3 of the past 4 seasons have been in the 70s. A point of comparison, Indiana ranks #1 and 7 other playoff teams rank in the Top 30.

On Deck 2026 Don’t look now, but TEXAS’ schedule gets even harder in 2026. The Cheeziest Bowl certainly addressed both some questions and concerns. Christian Clark had an impressive performance, so we know who RB1 is for now. This does not mean there will not be competition. Competition makes everyone better. #1 question today on offense, does Trevor Goosby come back? If so, OT is covered, but two interior starters are out of eligibility. #2 Question is Jake Endries possible return. He fell out of the game plan at times during the season, though we are not blaming him, as he neither calls the plays nor throws the ball. He is a weapon, but only if we utilize him. #3a question: clearly, the D backslid at times in 2025. Coach PK was fired to accommodate Coach Boom's return. #3b, can we find 2-3 interior offensive linemen for 2026 in the portal, assuming Goosby returns? And can Coach Flood, coach up the young recruits. The OL did play very well vs both Aggie and Michigan. #4 Three major special teams concerns: we are losing a very good punter and kicker, and our coverage teams look weak against Michigan. #5 The back 6-8 of the D lacks experience, though they are long on talent. Who will step up at Safety, and can we find a linebacker to pair with Ty’Anthony Smith? So we have discussed our biggest concerns for 2026, which has TEXAS facing an even more daunting lineup, let’s focus on what we are excited about. #1 ise asy, Arch Manning is showing us why the hype was real. In a pre-game interview, he said his play had improved after he stopped trying to force things and let the game come to him. Some call that the game “slowing down” for a player. He is a threat both as a runner and a passer. #2 TXAS’ front 4. Collin Simmons is a beast, while Lance Jackson is showing he’ll be a major factor as well. The interior of the DLine looks strong for 2026 #3 We think the WRs will be a strength in 2026 even though we lose the #2 pass catcher to the NFL. One of our concerns about Sark is that he eschews a heavy WR rotation despite so many talented players, and without reps, it’s hard to grow. #4 We especially like the TE room and hope that Endries stays for one more year. We think he can be special Fortunately, TEXAS will not have to open the season ranked #1. We expect TEXAS to finish in the Top 10 this year and open 2026 between 5 and 10. What TEXAS does in the portal will be interesting to watch and determine whether the Horns are a true playoff contender or hanging around as another 9-3 type team. Can Coach Boom get the D back to the standards Coach PK set over the past few years? We think yes. We think the O will be better than 2025, which isn’t a high bar, as in 2025, we finished #44 in scoring. Keys to that growth will be Arch’s continued development, an improved running game, and fewer drive-killing penalties. Couple of key stats to watch are significant improvement with both a reduction in penalties and improved 3rd down conversions. To be clear, we like most of what Sark is doing at TEXAS. He has to do a better job of self-evaluation; he needs to continue to build the offense around the skill sets of his players, and he needs to “break” some of his tendencies. By his own admission, he is very stubborn. Hopefully, 2025 serves as a wake-up call. We think he can improve in these areas to help take the next step. We’re calling it 10-2 with a return to the playoffs for 2026 despite a tough schedule. An outstanding season would be going 12-1, winning the SEC, and a deep playoff run. On the flip side, we are seeing 9-3 as the floor but that means another New Year's Day/Eve bowl. We have also just learned that Paker Livingstone is entering the transfer portal and frankly find this surprising. Meanwhile Emmit Mosley the 5th (V) is back. this is very good news as he was an underutilized weapon (though he started the season injured) Highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DALKiP-uYg

You better have 5 different pots with 5 different blends going. You might also want to get an auto refresher, so you can save your fingers from refreshing so much lol.

Booker is just so smooth

Missouri is a great three point shooting team and our girls can't let up on the line. Coach Vic is about to have an attack.

4th quarter, Texas by 12.

68-56 Horns end of 3rd quarter!

Pulling away now to end the 3rd

It's good to see the step J. Lee has taken this year. The offense isn't just Booker this year, but the SEC will be tough.

Texas pulling away now with 2 minutes to go. 64-50

Coffee? 😂 you better off starting your day with bourbon or scotch

BREAKING: Syracuse WR Johntay Cook plans to enter the @TransferPortal, source tells @On3sports This season he totaled 45 receptions for 549 yards and 2 TDs The former 5-Star recruit started his career at Texas https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/wire/football/

Because 99.5% of you have ZERO idea what you’re talking about. You’re like irrational overly emotional teenagers who just want to fire this coach at any twist or turn.
