CJV was a terrific addition to OTF, Blake knows baseball like no one else on the local scene, and the video site gains from having the irrepressible Rod and his guests. TFB is not a true competitor to OTF or IT but its limited content is very professional - as it is run by an actual practicing football coach who knows the Texas high school scene from inside. CJV came here from there. I came to OTF because Gerry is the only real basketball voice around on these sites - and he has attracted Bierce and a few other knowledgeable commenters to make the hoops columns easily the best available. I still follow BitterWhiteGuy's intermittent critiques, btw, but there was a time when BWG and Fred Haley were at SBN and I miss that. Gerry and the gang here fill that place well.

Both IT and OB have too many as*hole posters who attack anyone who doesn’t agree with their view. Haven’t been on OB since 2010 and won’t renew IT.

The best person outside of this site at covering recruiting for Texas is Scruggs at 247

The only person that has NEVER had a negative word about other sites or their people is Bobby Burton. He let's his product do all the talking without being a narcissistic asshole.

Hell NO

Get your popcorn it’s going wild with Ketch and Nahlin.

Sense of community be darned. Ketch is just an immoral, bad dude, and Suchomel is his Azrael.

I think it’s because these forums carry an inherent sense of community for a lot of folks on them (heck, I feel it myself). In a very real sense, the different forums try to cultivate it in some sense too (the happy hours, tailgates, or live watches on YouTube). I think that sense of community is awesome as a diehard Longhorn fan. It’s unfortunate that it gets “tribal” though and people feel the need to knock one site or another (often in an emotional, rather than rational, manner). At the end of the day, my Longhorn fandom is more enjoyable getting to listen to dudes like Bobby, Gerry, CJ, Rod, or whoever else can enlighten me about football in general, how our program is doing, and player insights/evals. Other sites got good dudes doing it too. We all Longhorns, so it’s all good 🤘🏼

It’s football and it happens. But I do think Arch will live up to the hype more often than not.

Ketch vs Nahlin - Battle for Biggest Asshole

I still have all 3, right now. I feel the same way you do.

I was on OB for about a decade. I thought their discussion forum was top tier for most of that run, particularly the off topic threads. There were always knowledgeable professionals chiming in, whether the topic was law, medicine, finance, business, or something else entirely. Then it got taken over by a dozen or so high-volume sh*t posters and I no longer saw any value in it. Their YouTube content is atrocious. I'm still on IT but won't be renewing my subscription. It's not that it's awful, but it's duplicative of OTF content, and I prefer Bobby and Gerry's no-nonsense approach.

It is sad when I see questions in the OTF YT Comments and on the board discussions like, "If Arch wins the Heisman and the Natty this year, why would he return to Texas?" 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don't understand why people get so worked up and get tribal with the different websites. Thank goodness there are people like me who are above that nonsense. Except for how I feel about Ketch. I want to kick him in the groin. Thanks for listening.... I feel better now.

Love it. Arch and his family have a great approach to all of this.

How are yall going to feel if we win, But arch throws four interceptions? I am very intrigued to see how the high, teetering on ridiculous expectations folks react to arch when he has bad games in the live game threads.

I feel like Saban would say something like this. Gerry must be Bobby's Sarkisian. Now it all makes sense.

That's 4 TDs in the first half!

Honestly people are asking the wrong question. How many times will Arch get flashed on the road this season? There are some scalawags/gold diggers always looking to get saved.

Especially when we win and Arch accounted for 4 TDs.

Archmania is just going to become even crazier over the summer leading into our rematch with ohio state.
