Sounds like Kasi Currie

Just boarded a Delta flight to LA and a jumbo sized athlete in Longhorn gear is sitting right behind me. Anyone from SoCal in town?

Right. Some players that can fire off low with a flat back and drive their feet. Move their feet in pass pro laterally without crossing them over and give a good punch with their hands. I don’t get paid millions, but what the hell? Are we teaching the basics before all these complicated blocking schemes.

Seems like pretty reasonable comments to me. Seems like his agent made a big ask and Texas chose to make an example out of him. I don't blame them for not wanting to be held hostage by every player on the roster. I also don't blame Parker for being bitter and wanting to beat us in Dallas.

First they have to hold on to Matas. That takes a loud out of the NIL. Gerry can correct me on this but I believe Texas paid 1.5 million for Goosby, so those two already take up a big chunk of money. Finding that guy at that price isn’t as easy as you think, especially since every school is looking for players.

Can’t believe for the first time this century Texas has a chance to win three in a row over OU in Dallas and for the second time this century, win 4 out of the last five matchups. Potentially all these wins could be by double digits. We fans are getting a taste of what OU fans got when they had Stoops and Texas had Brown. You know you have not just the talent edge, but the edge in coaching staff too.

Relation to Reggie Hemphill-Mapps?

Welcome to the 40 acres Agassi Rusher and family

“Big humans” blah, blah, blah. I just want experience in the interior that can displace defense tackles against their will in the run game and move their feet horizontally in pass protection.

I asked Sark a couple of years ago about the big humans philosophy. Some of it he attributed to Nick Saban, but it had more to do with when he and Kyle Flood were with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. The Falcons had one of, if not the lightest, offensive lines in the league. When that worked against them, Sark told me, was when they'd play the Eagles, the Patriots, the Steelers or the Ravens — teams that could put massive nose tackles over the ball and would win the line of scrimmage battle. Sark said he made a note to himself that if he was ever a head coach again, he didn't want to go into a game and lose just because his team wasn't big enough. The big human philosophy hasn't been a bad one for Texas. But it needed some tweaking and there are signs there that Sark and Flood are changing things up.

AUSTIN, Texas — Are Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood rethinking their philosophy regarding the body types Texas wants along the offensive line? One spring practice isn’t enough to render a verdict. And when looking at Flood’s first unit that worked at Denius Fields on Monday, 354-pound Jordan Coleman lining up at left tackle (Trevor Goosby was suited up for the team's first spring practice, but he’ll be limited until further notice while recovering from postseason shoulder surgery) is exactly the kind of large human Sarkisian’s organization has tried to get into the fold since he started remaking the roster upon taking the job in 2021. Still, with Jaydon Chatman (315 pounds), Connor Robertson (317), Brandon Baker (304) and newcomer Melvin Siani (313) rounding out the starters on Monday, the Longhorns aren’t quite as big up front as they’ve previously been under the current regime. Goosby is listed at 325 pounds on the spring roster, putting the 2026 projected starting offensive line’s average weight on pace to be 314.8 pounds. That’s slightly up from the 312.2-pound average of the season-ending combination in 2025, but 349-pound Nick Brooks and 341-pound Connor Stroh combined to start seven games at left guard during the regular season. Regardless, the current starting offensive line and last year’s top group weigh significantly less than the 2024 unit (324 pounds). That number was slightly down from the 2023 group, which averaged 324.6 pounds. After practice, while discussing Baker’s move from tackle to guard and the possibility of the junior adding more mass, Sarkisian didn’t stick to his typical big people talking points. “Natural weight is important to me,” he said. “I think, sometimes, just trying to get heavy —one of his strengths is his ability to move and play with great balance and body control. That's something that I think will benefit him. “Mass is helpful, but we just want to make sure it's the right type of mass as his weight goes up.” An answer to a press conference question doesn’t confirm that Sarkisian and Flood want a slimmer offensive line with improved movement skills. Nevertheless, the Longhorns coming off of the program’s worst season running the football since 2014 (137.8 yards per game ranked 90th in FBS, while an average of 4.19 yards per attempt ranked 84th nationally) and allowing Arch Manning to be pressured on an SEC-leading 165 dropbacks (according to Pro Football Focus) should require going back to the drawing board. If the leaks in the dam last season weren’t enough to force Sarkisian and Flood to adjust course, DJ Campbell’s career arc might be the best example that bigger doesn’t always mean better. Campbell played his best football as a Longhorn in 2025, a season in which he weighed 321 pounds. He was a first-team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press and a third-team pick by the league’s coaches while recording career-high single-season PFF grades with a 70.9 overall and 73.6 as a run blocker, with a pass-blocking grade of 77.6. After getting up to 343 pounds in 2023 and playing the 2024 season at 330 pounds, Campbell trimmed down to 313 pounds for the NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran a 5.01 40-yard dash, potentially improving his draft position. It wouldn’t do the staff any good to spend time thinking about what a leaner, more agile Campbell would’ve done on the Forty Acres. But with four of the seven offensive linemen who weighed 325-plus pounds last season hitting the transfer portal, and only one such player entering the program (344-pound Dylan Sikorski), a case can be made that the belt is literally tightening in the offensive line room. And it might not be a bad thing. View full news story

Swain as the top newcomer of the league is an difficult and special accomplishment in the portal era. I don’t know why the excitement seems muted. Fans hope players on future teams are talented and valuable enough to earn this award.

That's the stuff of nightmares right there

You'd see Arch playing at UTSA before you'll see him playing for the J-E-T-S. JETS! JETS! JETS!

Can someone send a health and welfare to South Carolina fans. They are going through it today. Apparently no one told Texas they were supposed to let South Carolina win because they are South Carolina. They're even claiming conspiracies because Vic never took his jacket off and still had a little voice left after the game😂

We have that already like matas will be more developed next year and if you bring in a player that was at his level this past summer he can develop just like matas did this year. The thing is miller probably did not have enough to build around this year but he has more this offseason.

at this point, he has injury issues. between his shoulder and his hammy, he hasn't been able to stay healthy

He needs to pick a sport, because he can't stay healthy being a 365 athlete. Frankly, due to his lack of power on the baseball field, he should probably pick football.
