I would have liked to have seen the offensive line not jumbled around three days before kickoff for the season, and I don't just mean due to injury. The Stroh/Neto news is great because of competition, but not necessarily instilling a lot of confidence in one or the other and therefore the group. Plus, it's just new. That's what happens when you have minimal turnover no one from 2022-2024. New takes time.

Yeah, I hear you. I think Ohio State (and Texas) should win a national championship every 6-7 years. Ohio State has definitely been once a decade though since 2000. 99.9% of programs would kill for that, but Ohio State & Texas should definitely be more than once a decade in my opinion.

@CJ Vogel hypothetically is there anything you would’ve liked to have seen differently with the OL to prepare for losing 4 guys? Guessing it is what it is. Hard to replace 4 NFL guys, but curious to get your thoughts.

We are all disappointed in you, Blake.

Good sign as a program when all 4 of the lowest-ranked rooms still have surefire NFL guys in them.

TX OU is also a big money maker from season ticket holders. The school allocates tickets to TX OU based on cumulative amounts donated - A lot of Dallas Texas Exes only buy season tickets to ensure access to TX OU.

Expect him more off of the EDGE, but LB remains very deep.

Does anyone have locations where Longhorns fans are gathering to tailgate In Columbus

Well there it is. Thanks for guaranteeing the win Blake!

No

LB is so deep Spence didn’t even get a mention.

OL. Sheesh.

Two days ahead of kickoff, I wanted to revisit position room confidence rankings ahead of the season. This was an exercise I posted earlier in the offseason, but given that things have changed since the beginning of fall camp, it is worth revisiting expectations and evaluate where things stand by position group. *** 1. Linebacker Steve Sarkisian mentioned he has four starters at the position and I believe him. Anthony Hill Jr. is the national name, but look for TyAnthony Smith to surprise a lot of folks. Lefau and Moore round out a very talented 2-deep at backer. 2. EDGE Headlined by Colin Simmons, Texas has its healthiest group of pass rushers that I can remember. The room is deep, talented and hungry. 3. Quarterback When your quarterback is Arch Manning, it elevates the room into conversations it otherwise wouldn't be in. Matthew Caldwell has some experience and it appears that the hope for KJ Lacey is rising by the day. 4. Safety Returning a 2nd Team All-American is just the start. Derek Williams Jr. returns to the field and joins 2024 breakout player Jelani McDonald to make for a very sturdy front line. Xavier Filsaime received plenty of praise as fall camp progressed as well. 5. Defensive Line The talk of the offseason was the five portal additions to the Texas defensive line room, and while there isn't any continuity, there is experience and that is my biggest selling point at five. Alex January will start, now pick Cole Brevard or Maraad Watson and high ceiling remains. 6. Running Back CJ Baxter's return to the field has been a revelation in fall camp and for good reason. Texas' running back room looks significantly different from this time a year ago, though they don't crack the top five simply out of the "Go Prove It" aspect for Baxter. Very bullish on this room. 7. Cornerback I feel great about Malik Muhammad taking the next step, though am waiting to see how the opposite cornerback position plays out. Sources have expressed confidence in Jaylon Guilbeau, and his experience should certainly help. Kobe Black had moments, but not much burn. Perhaps the star of the defense is just that, STAR Graceson Littleton. 8. Tight End Adding Jack Endries to this unit allowed for a very firm floor for what to expect in 2025. Now the versatility of Endries, Washington, Shannon and Townsend gives Texas as deep and multiple of a tight end room as Sarkisian has ever had at Texas. The No. 8 ranking comes just as a result of other talent elsewhere. 9. Wide Receiver The glaring question mark right now is what is happening with Emmett Mosley V. Until there is a specific time table for when we will see Mosley on the field, this room takes quite a hit. Two players have receptions in the room, and even with Livingstone's pending emergence, there just is not any other type of production at the moment. 10. Offensive Line Depth is in question and the guys in the film room are still playing musical chairs with the starting five this close to game time. Could the offensive line be better in run blocking this fall? Perhaps, but I have quickly detoured away from this unit being an overall improvement from a year ago when four guys ended up on NFL rosters.

The title of the article and the ensuing information says all anyone outside of Columbus needs to know. Charmin. https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/wolverines/football/2025/08/25/ohio-state-bans-dave-portnoy-from-stadium-entry-with-fox-big-noon/85826249007/

It's definitely a game he plays. I suspect it end like it always does for him....

Bobby talked to CDC recently. No chance it’s moving. OP lives in his own little world.
