Bummer, But expected

University of Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian has been selected as a candidate for the 2025 Dodd Trophy watch list. The award highlights a coach who not only achieves competitive success but also upholds academic commitment, moral character, and strong leadership—principles rooted in the legacy of Bobby Dodd. Sarkisian is one of 26 coaches to be spotlighted in this year’s preseason group. He was also acknowledged during the 2024 season, appearing on both the preseason and midseason lists. In 2024, Sarkisian was a finalist for the Bear Bryant and George Munger coaching awards for the second year in a row. This latest recognition underscores Sarkisian’s ability to balance elite performance with a deeper focus on mentorship and academic integrity.

How aggressive has Tennessee been with NIL and/or old school bag drops this cycle?

Gerry I blame this all on you! Please get sick again! I don’t care if you have to hang out at a Drs office or hospital just go get sick now! Ty!

Excuse me while I change my pants.

OnTexasFootball doesn’t believe there is any new movement with 4-star++ WR Jalen Lott ahead of his July 8 announcement. 1. Oregon 2. Texas

Call your shot Gerry!

Texas 4-star++ LB Brayden Rouse will announce his decision July 8. As of Sunday, it’s expected to be Tennessee or Texas. The Vols have the long standing relationship with the family

Is steve Patterson available?

Baab started at guard as a true freshman and soph, then moved to center. Tremendous player who went on to a great pro career.

What was it something like 7 of their defensive starters were in their freshmen or sophomore season last year?

Lots of talent on that defense but also lot of bad habits and tackling. Will be interesting to see first game with a new d coordinator against Nuss.

And its so great that Texas is finally, finally consistently playing in this sandbox, instead of a one off year here or there when the stars align... 🤘

It’s unfortunate that Miami and Virginia Tech were on the way down when they joined the league 20 years ago. There was that point in ‘97 when North Carolina and Florida State were as talented as anyone in the country.

I would bet Clemson to beat LSU, especially with that game at home. LSU and Nussmeier struggled heavily against teams with talented front sevens and Clemson should have one of the better fronts in the country this year. Which might be surprising to some given how easily Texas wa sable to move them around last year.

They had major problems on defense last year and I’m not the biggest Tom Allen fan. Their talent should be able to make up for that because the ACC is bad. Offense should be fun.

The TCU-Georgia title game should’ve told the country all it needed to know about the difference in the LOS talent between the two conferences. The SEC and Big Ten are so far ahead of the other conferences because of LOS talent.

I thought Cooper Beebe would end that drought in 2024. Turns out his arms were incredibly short in comparison to other prospects. But he has turned into quite the center for the Cowboys after being selected in the 3rd.

That is the last time the Big12 had an offensive linemen drafted in the first round from a program other than OU, Texas or TAMU. Outside of those teams, Big12 has had 5 OL drafted in the first round this millennium. We all know the OL draft woes Texas has had- yet Texas has still had more first round OL this Millenium than any current or former Big12 program other than OU or TAMU (3: Kelvin Banks, Leonard Davis, Mike Williams). It's quite clear the NFL doesn't think highly Big12 offensive lines.

They may be early on Clemson, but Clemson has a QB who could be big-time, and that's extremely important. Not hard to set a high floor for a team with a top-level signal caller.

He saw that Ojo camp tape and wants to dominate practices!
