Haha this is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. Given Mateer's history, I bet he's just trying to move the betting line

When scouting the Florida defense everyone is so worried about are we looking at numbers or watching plays? The Florida defense that's been on display is NOT the defense we're going to see in terms of scheme or personnel. They lack the depth they had going into the season, which is why a game by game is the best approach to take.While the numbers look good there are so many players and positions to attack. Florida likes to keep their safeties back to limit explosives. Well with their best DL in street clothes and youth at both linebackers, if Sark decides he wants to get back to himself and run his counters and misdirection big plays are there for the taking. The weakest position group on the field for Florida will be linebacker. Go back and watch the Miami game, yeah I get it Miami's offensive line blah blah blah, but the success Miami had running their zone runs and GT counter had more to do with linebackers running themselves out of the play and not fitting the run well more than anything. If those linebackers play with the eye discipline they had and fitting the run like they did against Miami, they will have to drop a safety in the box. Playing press on the outside is easier to do with guaranteed help over the top, but the equation changes when you have to do it on an island. As fans have patience and be ready to be frustrated until Sark makes Florida come out of their 2 High shell, and when they do strike up the band.

I hope he plays. I want to beat OU at their best. He would be dumb to play two weeks after surgery but bring it on!

Seeing both the Rangers and Astros miss the playoffs after that fantastic 2023 ALCS is not something I thought would happen two years later. Jason Garrett type of season for the Rangers record wise.

Can’t believe they didn’t make the playoffs.

Finebaum entering transfer portal?
Jc Dobbs replied to Quinncent McManning, Jr.'s topic in On Texas Football Forum
I read an article in the Daily Mail (USA version) yesterday and Finebaum was quoted as saying he hosted his radio show for four hours after the murder of Charlie Kirk and couldn't remember what he said because it seemed so unimportant to him. He said that he had never experienced that feeling before. My view is that he could have realized it's time to do something else in his remaining years. In the article he also said he considers himself a Republican and he voted for Trump. I would think that profile would make it difficult to enjoy working at ESPN Disney. Back in the 1980s I worked in Alabama and I learned that it's a state with a "strong Governor" structure (unlike Texas' "weak Governor") and being Governor of Alabama is highly coveted in that state. Name identification is the very first requirement to be a candidate for the job, and everyone in Alabama knows Paul. As surprised as I was about Finebaum, I was far more surprised to read that Stephen A Smith is considering running for the Democratic Party nomination for President in 2028. This post is in no way meant to inject political discussion and isn't partisan -- it's just noteworthy that two well-known sports personalities are considering running for high office. - Today

Agree! The only time I remember Zero U fielding a truly bad team was when John Blake was HC. I remember an old guy sitting behind me in the Cotton Bowl Stadium saying something like "who ARE those players wearing the OU uniforms?!" A runner - up season was when Howard Schnellenberger was HC. My buddy's wife used to call him "Grandpa Football," and I thought that was a pretty good one. But I must agree that for a stretch of a few seasons it didn't seem to matter who was playing or coaching for the Longhorns because Bob just had a spell over Texas and it just felt hopeless.

WNBA playoffs are really good!

The next time I hear a Fever fan blame Stephanie White for a loss, I hope a chihuahua gnaws your foot off at the ankle. That woman is putting on a clinic of adapting and overcoming. -
Napheesa Collier ripped the WNBA Commish!

Unrivaled just added more teams, got 341 mil going into year 2, and the players get paid way more. The WNBA aint only game in town. The players have far more leverage than they've ever had. These players come in the league with a huge following and the league does nothing to maximize the new found popularity of Angel, Clark, Paige, and when JuJu get to the league, her star power on and off the court will be unmatched. -
I’m confident in it. Was just trying to stir up some drama. It would not surprise to see the best prepared UF offense this year.

Well better pack it up, there's no easy games ahead.

John Mateer Surgery Update
Quinncent McManning, Jr. replied to Connor Vaughn's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Well there it is. Mateer playing against Texas per Chipotle. More reliable source than the 7 eleven employee breaking Texas recruiting news a few years back. -
Jermaine Bishop, Jr. Is New Houston Receiving Leader
Dread-headed Texan replied to FootLaw's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I was talking to my nephew and he said he was telling the players on UTEP about when he played against Bishop in Pop Warner. They were asking if he was really like that? He put me on speaker and let me explain, I told them on 1st down he played running back, on 2nd depending on distance he went back to running back or reciever, on 3rd down he played quarter back, and if they didnt go for it on 4th he punted. 🤣 that's a true story. -
I'm in the wait and see approach how Arch trots out there. Maybe the Sam Houston State was what he needed to get things going. Plus you'll have all your guys back on O to help carry the load. I'm optimistic about it.
-
I don't know Ohio State seems like a half way decent team....We know what we have, it's a great defense.
-
Kentucky and Arkie are the two easiest left. Everyone else can beat us on a bad day. And we can beat everyone else on a good day. This five week bonus mini camp should start paying dividends over the next two weekends.
-
Let me rain on your parade. Per OFEI, UTEP is the worst offense in the country. Our overall opponents to date rank 122 out of 136. We don’t know what we have.

Look at the price of the new franchises. Someone (Owners) are making a ton. The new TV contracts will bring in more money too. It's at an all time high in popularity. Cameron Brink, Lexi Hull, Aliyah Biston, Paige Beckers, Sonya Citroen are all very popular. Of course CC is too. -
Anything can happen, but I don’t think this game is going to be the struggle some assume. I don’t think Florida will do much of anything against our defense.
-
At least we're not in the big 12, our monsters are real, and have to worry about other monsters too.
-
Nah come on man, they stopped the mighty Long Island....er, I don't what they're called?

Whoever said this was a safe space for people who just want to enjoy the journey, or trust the process, or go 1-0?! No, we must manifest every corner case disaster out into the open before it can turn into reality!
