Not Blake, but do a lot of these travel games... We got tix about a month ago and prices have been pretty steady/flat since then. I'd think that stays true, unless the wheels fall off for TN going into that game, which I doubt since it will be their first SEC game I believe... Since it's already a sellout from the official side, I think the prices will stay flat or increase slightly as we get closer, but the quality of the selection likely drops. There are still some decent tix like lower bowl end zone areas for < $600/seat, but also a wide range - I see 2 pairs 3 rows apart one for $580 and one for $1400, for example... Not sure where the official visitor section(s) might be, I just got a spot I liked... 🤘

ESPN on the SEC ... https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/49553550/mens-college-basketball-projecting-floors-ceilings-every-team-2026-27-sec 2. Texas Longhorns 2025-26 finish: 21-15, 9-9 SEC, lost in the Sweet 16 CEILING Total wins: 37 SEC finish: First Postseason finish: National champion FLOOR Total wins: 24 SEC finish: Fifth Postseason finish: Sweet 16 When he was introduced as head coach prior to last offseason, Sean Miller made a promise to the Longhorns' fanbase: "I am looking forward to the future of doing amazing things, which has become the standard here at Texas." The group squeezed into the NCAA tournament as an 11-seed -- more surprising than amazing -- then went on a run to the Sweet 16. But signing Marcus Spears Jr., the No. 1 recruit in the 2027 class who reclassified to play this season, is the most amazing thing Miller has done to date. Earning the program's first Final Four appearance in 24 years would be even more incredible than that.

I've long said I will do whatever I can to remain on the same side of an argument as Amanda for this exact reason lol

aggy is as aggy does... poor aggys. GAG'em! 🤣👎😂

I’ve never listened to the moving goals podcast but seems like every week there is a clip of her cooking billy and props to him for always taking it🤣

Props to Billy for always accepting the punches but he really needs to think a bit before he speaks sometimes 🤣

@BlakeMay from your experience, do you think it's best to pull the trigger on tix now or wait a little closer to the date? I thought I was getting tix through work but no luck so trying to see my next best option given the cost currently.

There’s a lot of depth at GK luckily. Brought in I believe three transfers. Someone has to step up.

I would put Aaron Ross at 15 personally

Not enough lineman imo. Collin will be eventual top 15, but he's premature on this list as it stands. Jahdae and Aaron Ross deserve more love. Ehlinger couldve made 15 and I would've respected it.

Agree. Honestly could think of about 20 or more. Recency bias from the fans.

So Mt Rushmore has been decided (for the post 92 era)! Very cool. Very happy to see DJ in there. QBs get all the love, WR/DBU the highlights, but deep down I think Texas DNA is built on RB & LB. Out of curiosity where did Ehlinger, Major, Priest, J Tucker, and Michael Dickson finish? Did Gardere or Stony Clark land in top 50? Just thinking of guys who had a signature play, bowl game, or rivalry game heroes etched in our minds not necessarily best career.

I was shocked he had enough to clench No. 15. There were numerous people I expected in front of him.

Hard to argue with that list. Where did Justin Blaylock and Kasey Studdard rate?

Great work on this Blake. Great job.

I may be the only person that has Casey Hampton above DJ. I love DJ but Casey was just an anomaly like i've never seen before.

Solid list. Hard to argue about any of the top 14. Colin Simmons is amazing and maybe after this year he could make this list. But as of now that should not be the case.

Earl Thomas is criminally underrated. His 2009 season was the best I've ever seen from a Texas defensive back and it's not particularly close.

Just posted it in it's own (pinned) thread. Top six is universal.

I find it fascinating when it comes to the note on the top six. The fact that every staff member's votes lined up with what you guys (and gals) voted is amazing, imo.

We asked OTF subscribers to rank the best Texas Longhorns of the modern era (1992-present) and the results gave us some pretty fascinating takeaways. First and foremost, Vince Young absolutely ran away with the No. 1 spot. Vince received more than 82% of the first place vote, with only one ballot (out of hundreds) not including him in the top three spots. His lowest ranking from anyone who voted for him? No. 4. Ricky Williams was nearly as universal. Ricky appeared on 94.9% of ballots, and 88.1% of those voters had him inside the Top 3. In fact, Vince and Ricky were basically the consensus top two. On 76% ballots, they occupied the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in some order. Then things got really interesting. Colt McCoy did not receive a single first-place vote, yet still finished comfortably at No. 3. Derrick Johnson finished fourth. This created what looked like a pretty obvious Big Four among the fan base: Vince, Ricky, Colt, DJ After that, the debate really started. Cedric Benson edged Bijan Robinson for No. 5 despite Bijan appearing on more ballots. Bijan showed up on five more ballots than Cedric did, but the fans who voted for Cedric generally ranked him higher. Bijan was the only player, outside of Vince and Ricky, in the eventual top ten to receive a first-place vote. The tightest race came near the bottom of the Top 10, however: Michael Huff - 226 points Casey Hampton - 225 points Earl Thomas - 220 points Six total points separated three Texas legends. Hampton actually had stronger high-end support than Huff, with 19 Top-5 votes compared to Huff’s 11, but Huff appeared on more ballots and narrowly grabbed the No. 8 spot. When we compared the fan vote to the OTF staff composite, both groups independently produced the exact same Top 6 in the exact same order: Vince Young, Ricky Williams, Colt McCoy, Derrick Johnson, Cedric Benson, Bijan Robinson Ten staff voters and hundreds of fan voters somehow agreed on the top six perfectly. That’s pretty remarkable. Now let’s argue.... here is your Top 15, as selected by OTF Subscribers: View full news story
