OU and Oklahoma AG not even on the same page lol

I was a huge Donnie Little fan growing up. He could do it all! I wore #1 in HS because of him.

It'll be great practice for the Veer n shoot that they'll see vs Tenn, Miss St and LSU

Sewanee reclaims their rightful spot.

Blocking isn't the issue....Tempo is

We reported in August that Texas safety commit Junior Tu'upo was expected to take visits this fall to Alabama and Auburn despite his commitment to the Longhorns. We've learned that will start this weekend with the talented DB prospect set to unofficially visit Alabama for the Crimson Tide's season opener vs. East Carolina. A source with knowledge of Tu'upo's recruitment reaffirmed that the four-star DB is very firm with the Longhorns despite the visits, even noting it's not like he's hopping on a plane to go see an out-of-state school. Tu'upo is expected back in Austin next weekend for the Ohio State game.

I agreed with this on feeling alone and then looked up his stats. We were really down bad for awhile there....

Worthy based on stats alone but Simmons and Wingo will climb this season.

The answer is a big NO. Remember last year when Texas State played that blistering schedule in the SEC and the Big 10 at the same time?!?! They were just the best team last year. I know it was unfair that they got left out of the playoffs, but that beat down they gave to a 5-7 Rice team in their bowl game just proves that our passing defense just has no chance. Obviously, their personnel is just better than ours.

That's how you put your feet on a mofo couch🇺🇸

’Twas the Night Before Longhorn Football ’Twas the night before Longhorn football, and all through the state, Every Longhorn was restless — tomorrow couldn’t wait. The burnt orange was hung by the front doors with care, With hopes that a championship season soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of touchdowns danced in their heads. And Mom in her Longhorn shirt, Dad in his cap, Had just settled in for a short pregame nap. When out near DKR there arose such a roar, I sprang from my bed and ran for the door. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Threw open the shutters and lifted the sash. The moon on the Tower gave Austin a glow, Burnt orange was shining on everything below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a mighty young quarterback commanding his gear. He stood tall in the pocket, calm, ready and steady, And I knew in a moment — Arch Manning was ready. His weapons assembled, his offense in flight, And Arch called their names through the warm Austin night: “Now CAM COLEMAN! Now WINGO! Now BISHOP, let’s go! On MOSLEY! On LOCKETT! It’s time for the show! Now HOLLYWOOD SMOTHERS! Raleek Brown, hit the lane! Tomorrow we’re bringing the thunder again!” They lined up together, a dangerous crew, With speed on the outside and power breaking through. Wingo could fly, Coleman climbed for the ball, And Bishop and Lockett were ready when called. Mosley stretched defenses from sideline to sideline, While Hollywood waited for daylight to shine. Raleek hit the crease with a burst and a blur, And Arch stood behind them completely assured. But across from the offense came shadows of dread, For the Longhorn defense had risen instead. At the edge stood Colin Simmons, prepared for the fight, A nightmare for tackles on Saturday night. He crouched at the line with one thing on his mind: Find the quarterback — and leave nothing behind. Then Rasheem Biles came downhill with force, Reading the backfield and changing its course. If a runner found daylight and thought he was free, Biles closed the distance before he reached three. In the back end stood Jelani McDonald on guard, Where completing a deep ball would suddenly get hard. And Grayson Littleton, composed and aware, Was waiting for anyone testing him there. The offense had fire. The defense had might. And all across Austin, you could feel it that night. The stadium waited, its seats standing still, But tomorrow those stands would shake from the thrill. One hundred thousand voices would rise with a sound That echoes through Austin and shakes the whole ground. The Tower would glow and the band would soon play, And Bevo would lead the Longhorns away. The eyes of all Texas would turn toward DKR, For another Longhorn season was ready to start. Then Arch gathered the team as the hour grew late, With eleven beside him and millions who wait. He looked toward the stadium, then gave them a grin, For tomorrow there'd be only one thing left: Win. He stepped to the huddle and called through the night, As burnt orange disappeared slowly from sight: “Tomorrow we ride. Tomorrow we fight. Hook ’Em, Texas — and to all a good night.”

I’m pumped to see what our defense looks like if i trust one coach on the whole staff it’s coach Boom

I could've gone with the running game, but the Texas State passing game poses a legitimate challenge. I love this test for Muschamp's defense right out of the gate.

It’s time to tackle “One Burning Question,” an On Texas Football in-season feature where we’ll examine a significant question facing the Texas Longhorns entering a game. On Sunday, we’ll revisit the question to see whether Steve Sarkisian’s team answered it successfully. This week, with No. 5 Texas hosting Texas State in the 2026 season opener on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ESPN), the question is: How will the Texas pass defense fare in its first test under Will Muschamp? Had his reasons for moving on from Pete Kwiatkowski and bringing Muschamp back to the Forty Acres to run the defense. Arguably the most significant reason why Sarkisian pulled the trigger on the most notable staff change of his tenure after the Longhorns were officially left out of the College Football Playoff, however, was Kwiatkowski’s inability to tie his fronts and coverages together consistently. Other than the 2024 season, when Jahdae Barron emerged as an All-American en route to winning the Jim Thorpe Award, with a healthy Andrew Mukuba further elevating a secondary that was the defense’s Achilles’ heel in 2023, Kwiatkowski never found the front-to-back synergy at Texas that he had when Chris Petersen paired him with Jimmy Lake at Washington a decade ago. Things came to a head last season in SEC play. The Longhorns allowed 92 completions of 10 or more yards in eight conference games, with Vanderbilt’s 94 preventing Kwiatkowski's defense from falling to the bottom of the SEC in that category. The 32 completions of 20 or more yards Texas surrendered tied Mississippi State for the league's second-worst mark. Kwiatkowski’s unit intercepted 16 passes in 2025 (the second-most in the SEC), including nine in conference play. Still, the Longhorns were saddled with the SEC’s second-worst pass defense in league games (280.8 yards per game allowed). Only Sarkisian knows which straw broke the camel’s back. When push came to shove, the opportunity to hire Muschamp, whose specialty is the secondary, superseded the changes needed to make it more conducive for Kwiatkowski to return for a sixth season. There was more than one way to interpret Sarkisian declaring Muschamp as the head coach of the defense upon his hiring. One of the most significant changes is that while Kwiatkowski handled the defensive front and left the back end to his defensive pass game coordinator (Terry Joseph for four seasons and Duane Akina in 2025), Muschamp is responsible for calling fronts and coverages on game day. One message coming from one voice could be what the Longhorns need to field a championship-caliber defense. The 2026 season isn’t conducive to succeeding on defense amid communication breakdowns, with Texas set to face the best regular-season slate of quarterbacks the program has had to deal with since Muschamp’s first season with the program in 2008, when the Longhorns faced two eventual Heisman Trophy winners (Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford and Baylor’s Robert Griffin III) and five other quarterbacks who went on to play in the NFL. The run of difference-making signal callers begins on Saturday, when Texas goes up against Texas State’s Brad Jackson. With a pair of 1,000-yard wideouts at Jackson’s disposal in Beau Sparks (1,200 yards last season) and Chris Dawn Jr. (1,007 yards in 2025), the Bobcats will test the Longhorns more than a typical Group of Six offense in an opening game. Texas handling the Texas State passing game comfortably won’t signal that Muschamp’s defense is destined to dominate its competition. It would, however, be a massive step in the right direction and should give Muschamp’s unit a shot in the arm ahead of Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and the Ohio State aerial attack coming to town. An offseason in which the defense showed flashes of being the havoc-causing unit capable of making more plays when the ball is in the air than it gives up is in the books. On Saturday, it’ll be time to see if Muschamp’s second tour of duty in Austin has the potential to be as successful as his first and whether Sarkisian’s call to bring him back was the right one for the Longhorns.

Choad with a choad HC...I asked a TT grad coworker this week if he had purchased his cody campbell jersey yet...dude thinks he's playing on the team.

I'm really curious to see how coach Muschamp calls plays against this style of offense. Wide WR splits, fast tempo, and a running QB can force a DC into some interesting decisions. Of course, we have the athletes to line up, play vanilla, and win going away. But...it took us an entire half to figure out Mississippi State a few years ago.
