@Jeff Howe very eye opening piece. Really highlights what the staff dealt with their first couple of years and the building process required to get us to 2025. Using the D as the example along with an earlier comment about the success of UT free agents, this really shows how poorly the prior staffs developed the players. Our improvement is a chicken and egg deal. We're getting not good recruiting classes. We're getting elite ones. With elite players , the team can continue to compete at the top of college football. We get get these players due to development. Sark, Flood, PK & Banks

Gotta B Ced B. RIP.

Maybe the most important or irreplaceable person on any team.

Partial to the crescendo of welcome to the jungle. It’ll amp you up but maybe that’s not what you’re looking for Gerry 😴 Hamilton. Just having fun.

The song is terrible. Slow and sleepy. Remove the video and its audio melatonin. How does the king of crotch clipping choose this…

That to go along with the fact we now know he got some lasik, the sack record may not be too crazy to think about now 😂

🔥

Justus Terry gonna be an amazing addition to our defense “this” year .

Haha. Definitely Krista’s. I’m an On Cloud guy.

From my buddy Carter Yates at Dave Campbells Texas Football…. Life, Football a Never-Ending Competition for Stewart Brothers These late summer days, sleep is the only time off Chris Stewart allows himself. Chris has unfinished business before he attends the University of Texas on a football scholarship. Last fall, he earned District 22-6A Offensive MVP with 60 catches for 922 yards and 15 touchdowns. But Chris would trade that individual award for Alvin Shadow Creek’s season to not have ended like it did: the district champions lost in the first round of the playoffs to four-seed Fort Bend Elkins. It’s haunted him all offseason. He can only rest easy by reminding himself that the revenge tour kicks off in less than a month. But just as his breathing starts to calm and his racing mind slows to a crawl, a rustling in the room yanks Chris out of sleep’s abyss. He whips his head around to find his brother, Carter, cranking out sit-ups before bed. Carter is a First Team All-District safety who’s committed to the University of Utah. The sight of another Division I recruit improving while he’s resting shakes Chris awake. He can’t get caught napping. Chris’ elite trait is not the route-running or catch radius, but the refusal to lose. When he lines up at wide receiver, he can’t just beat the defensive back; he needs to burn the DB over and over until he knows before the snap it’s about to happen again. Carter knows this better than anyone, not just because he lives with Chris, but because he shares the same drive. “I cannot take a man sitting in front of me thinking he’s going to be able to stop me,” Chris said. “That’s not me at all. I try to go undefeated in everything, it doesn’t matter what we’re doing – (it could be) whoever finishes their food first.” For years, that sibling rivalry played out on the family’s driveway basketball hoop. Now, the brotherly battle has found a new arena - Alvin ISD’s Freedom Field. Shadow Creek’s 9-2 record was, in part, powered by an unofficial scoreboard between the Stewart brothers. “If I see Chris go and catch a deep ball, I’ve got to go and catch a pick or make a big tackle,” Carter said. “We don’t actually try to one-up each other, but when it comes to the game, that’s kind of the mindset we get into.” While both brothers are high-level Division I recruits, their college prospects launched at different times. Chris broke out as a sophomore and is currently the No. 54-overall prospect in the DCTX Hot 100 after compiling two years of tape. Carter was Shadow Creek’s backup quarterback before switching to safety in the spring of his sophomore year. But instead of letting colleges that offer one brother over the other drive a wedge between them, the Stewart brothers have used it as motivation to perfect their craft. “If they didn’t offer Chris, or didn’t offer me, they must have seen something that Chris had that I didn’t,” Carter said. “Now I’ve got to go get that. I’ve got to get in the weight room, got to go get on the field to make them realize, ‘You need to wake up and offer me too.’” The Stewart brothers have always worked hard, but Shadow Creek head coach Tyrone Green has seen a different sense of urgency from the two this offseason. They used to attack the workouts the coaches assigned. Now, they do that and then ask for more. “They’re very vocal about what’s going on with the heartbeat of the team,” Green said. “It kind of opened my eyes to certain team issues. They helped me become more of a players’ coach because they’re not afraid to walk into my office and say, ‘Hey, Coach, we need to be doing this. You’ve got to be harder on them.’” The Stewarts have reached the level they have because they’ve spent years competing against each other, but also because they’ve competed with each other. This will be their last season together before they play college football apart. Falling short of a state championship is not an option. “Now, you’ve really got to come kill me,” Chris said. “Because if you don’t kill me, you’re not going to stop us.” He’s obviously exaggerating, but he says it with such certainty that you’re convinced he’s not joking.

Kinda cold blooded on the sound track

This quote from LaAllan Clark on Colin Simmons might've been the line of the day today: "An elite player who left a lot on the bone last year"
