A ranking of all time greatest Longhorns by OTF staff. Top ten, by position, however.

Can we get a temporary truce with IT and get a Football Theory—Deep Dive crossover show? 

[Jordan Scruggs]

Some great ideas here!

Keep em coming!

[Rocky P]

Love the watch along.  Can we get more of those for big Texas games outside football?  

Always love to hear from former longhorns.  Maybe like a recurring thread where you interview longhorns and find out not only what it meant for them to wear the burnt orange, but also, how it affected them for life after sports.  Like the "Where are they now?"  section or something.

Not sure its possible. But is there any real, true data about what people are really paying NIL wise? I know there is tons of speculation, "Texas has a 40 million dollar roster" but I have never seen a true, reliable piece that outlines what schools are truly spending. Again, I am aware the facts may not be out there but hey, worth a request! 

Love to see a behind the scenes look at the Texas personnel department and how it operates now. It appears schools are going more and more to an NFL type model. I would love to know how that works now. Are the Coaches still "recruiting" or are the recruiting duties now mainly falling to these large personnel departments that each school is hiring? I mean its clear at OU that Nagy is the one making all of those decisions, who is making them at Texas, Brandon Harris or is it more of a group dynamic here at Texas? 

Keep up the great work Bobby! You were already #1 in my book but keep adding more and more firepower to your Team which is going to make you even better so kudos to you, sir! 

- I’m going to do a NIL one that will be drastically more accurate than what some have put forward. Some of what I’ve seen is absurdly wrong.

- I like that idea on the personnel department.

- Appreciate the kind words. None of this would be possible without Texas fans joining us in this endeavor.

Gerry wants to do more watch with us programming for sure. May do one for a big baseball or softball game coming up.

And I love visiting with former Longhorns. We’re going to have Brad Shearer on sometime next week. You young guys will have to look him up! Won the Outland at Texas in the late 70s.

Let some of us OG come on the watch with us thoughts 

[Tex555]

Always enjoy when you interview former players.  Having someone on every week would be great

Ever consider a feature, perhaps as a post mortem after each recruiting and/or portal cycle, on the whole recruitment process? I've always wondered how our staff identifies guys, engages with them, gauges their interest, etc.? What constitutes a great visit, outside of a stock post visit quote from a recruit?What happens (or not) when visits go bad? What elements of a visit really drive the process? How much thought goes into the choreography (How is the player host picked, where they go while they’re in town, how much assistant/head coach involvement)?   Are unofficials a better gauge of interest than officials? Also, if I had a dollar for every visit that "went great" only to hear we got dropped or jumped I'd be rich.

Just a bunch of stuff I've always asked myself.

All good questions. Never done a complete compendium like that.

I think OTF is too much invested in gambling sponsorship!

It is like having an open bar at an AA meeting.  OTF is the open bar and the gambling sponsorship money is tainted.

OTF isn’t invested in Prize Picks. It’s the opposite if anything.

Joey Chestnut vs Gerry Hamilton

Joey eats hotdogs, Gerry eats corndogs.

I’m surprised you had the audacity to say “OG” without it triggering your Floodphobia

If anyone has requests for specific content, please let us know and leave a suggestion below.

We already have our content plan set for this week, but we're always looking to add more of what y'all want.

Thanks, Bobby

Mod only threads during key times ie recruiting visits. Other threads where people can interact but I have seen mods only threads on other sites. Easier for me to wade through. 
 

as mentioned above I’d like to see Rod B on here more with articles.  He’s my favorite OTF person 🙂

The mod only threads during portal season were worth every penny of the subscription.

I would love to hear Gerry and Bobby and whoever else make a couple podcasts about what they remember covering specific recruiting classes with nuggets that maybe they couldn’t talk about the time. Like a whole episode dedicated to the Vince class, the Adrian Peterson year, one to the Kyler Murray/Malik Jefferson class, Tom Herman’s first full class with the Leon O’Neal story, etc. Maybe bring on a former player from that class to contribute to the story of it.
