The carrying of Skattebo into the EZ and the non-targeting call against Isaiah Bond were bad. He was head-hunted. That game still causes me stress. As the OL gains more experience, I think their penalties will dissipate. Focus needs to be 100%.

Gerry's question remains unanswered! What's that got to do with the price of rice in China?

Damn skippy

Fernando is a fantastic quarterback who is much better than people are giving him credit for. He put up decent numbers at Cal despite being pressured and knocked on his ass more than almost any QB in the country. Cal’s O line was porous, and that’s being nice. He’s smart, he goes through his progressions and is cool under pressure. He can tuck the ball and run surprisingly well. He works his ass off, stays late throwing extra and puts in his time looking at film. He’s from a great family and is involved with MS charities. What we’re seeing now is what he can do with time. He’s surgical. He’s already close to the top of a lot of draft boards, and his stock is only improving. Yeah. I’m a big fan.

No doubt. DJ meet Mr. Hill and Mr. Simmons.

This.

We know who your real Heisman is….Mateer Boy Vogel

Oklahoma after they finish 5 - 7, after starting 5 - 0.

The fake punt was legit

Really enjoy these updates

If you’re talking Taaffee and his hit that we benefitted, then you’re advocating for not playing football. i believe some referenced that fake punt for ASU was not legit. No fake punt, likely no late game impact of that non-call.

He's going to take another one in a couple of weeks.

Arch will be fine. Thankfully all the Arch 2026 draft BS is dead now.

I can go back to ASU 2024 where we greatly benefited a call and review.

Believe you’re missing a word or several here. It’s not like we never get calls if that’s what you’re saying. I mean we can go back to 2013 ISU or whenever that was. 1988 North Texas. Particularly teams that few feel sorry for if they get hosed.

Going to be in Ft. Worth on October 4 for an evening event. What are suggestions for UT friendly game watching bars in Ft. Worth??

Dude has taken a physical beating the last two weeks for sure

That sucks for Florida. He really needs as many practice snaps as he can get.

This stat is crazy and basically explains the record this year.

Not against us but against the Aggies maybe.

Cross Country Preview: The Texas Longhorns have historically not excelled in Cross Country. There may be a variety of reasons for this in the past but most recently it has been apparent that Coach Flo has prioritized the limited scholarships that are shared between T&F and CC for non-distance running athletes. Texas has rarely had strong Cross Country runners or athletes who excel at distance events during the Track and Field Season. In 2022, Texas hired Greg Metcalf to lead the Cross Country teams and I was curious if this would lead to a more serious approach to distance running. Coach Metcalf was previously a coach at Washington and won CC national championships on the women's side with the Huskies. A google search will show that his time ended in Washington with some athlete complaints around issues such as verbal abuse. His tenure at Texas was brief, and while he did bring Texas a top 10 finish on the Men's side in 2023, his tenure at Texas quietly ended with him doing little to rehab his image. Sarah Smith now serves as the assistance coach who oversees M&W CC and distance events. Under Coach Smith, the women's team made it to nationals last year and finished in last place while the mens team finished in the top 5 at regionals. For the women Eva Jess and Olivia Howell were the top finishers at nationals as seniors. They were followed by returners Elizabeth Pickett, Sydni Wilkins and Brighton Mooney. None of the runners finished in the top 100 overall. In the early season, against low level competition, the longhorns have swept the podium with the above mentioned returners leading the way along with Sophomore Kaylin Rendon entering the mix. It does not appear that any new comer on campus is going to make a major impact on the team. On the Men's side, early results point to Freshmen Aidan Torres as the lead runner on this squad along with senior Nathanael Berhane and fellow fish Jaoquin De La Cruz. All 3 of the runners finished behind athletes from lower division Texas schools so I am skeptical they will be able to finish ahead of the Division 1 programs we will be facing in the SEC championships and regionals. Directors' Cup Spin I have always said that distance athletes are the most valuable athletes in regards to the Directors' Cup. Someone who can run at an all-american level in CC, indoor and outdoor track can add a lot of overall points to the Directors' Cup tally. Unfortunately, Texas Track and Field, even when at their best, typically doesn't provide a lot of resources to this program. Hopefully with scholarship limits a thing of the past, and a roster limit of 45, Texas can rise to the top of the CC world once they start providing full rides to a full host of CC athletes. Fortunately, qualifying for the NCAA Championship is based on the teams finish at regionals with the top 2 teams being Automatic Qualifiers. Arkansas has ruled the roost in the South Central Region but Texas has often been just good enough to finish second and make it to nationals. This year, they are not ranked in the top 2 in the region at this juncture but real competition doesn't start until next month. An AQ for NCAA championships means at least 43 points, even with a last place finish. Finishing in the top 5 at regionals, something both teams should be able to do everywhere, equates to 27-28 points. Id expect both teams to do that and keep our fingers crossed for something better.

Texas has gotten it’s share of benefits of doubt just other teams.

Gotta feel for the kid…hopefully we get to see him at his best at some point

Pre snap penalties are lack of focus others are poor technique, both are correctable.

Who knows how healthy he ever has been. My best bet is only DJ knows that answer.
