Just gotta say, Bobby and Jeff are the absolute best post-game "discussers" I've heard in many years following Texas football. Good analysis, unemotional, insightful and not afraid to call a spade a spade. Nice to have these fellas in play. 🤘

They're great!

Bobby has really brought the best group of people together to talk about Texas sports. We are very lucky to see these. Thank you to the whole staff of OTF .

I'd say they have the right amount of emotion. I don't want to tune in to people covering Texas sports exclusively who don't seem to even want to root for the team, or even take obvious contrarian views to prove their objectivity.

I feel like it hurts the folks who cover the team for OTF when Texas loses. Maybe or maybe not as much as me, because I'm completely irrationally invested on an emotional level and always have been, but enough where they get it when it's a tough loss or things aren't going great, and they're fulfilled when things do go well.

It's a tough balance, and I feel like these guys straddle the line well.

Jeff started covering Texas during a Golden Age that quickly soured into an ice age. He and Rod cut their teeth talking through 5-7 in 2010, the Charlie Strong Era and then they got burned by the highs of the Tom Herman era. They know what good football looks like, they know what bad football looks like and they sure as hell know what fool’s gold looks like.

I agree Bobby has done a great job getting the band together.

NGL - @Bobby Burton has been is bag lately. New office, LHN partnership, top shelf guests, killer articles. He is too humble to toot his own horn but there is a reason he is top dog in a pack of alphas.

Thank you. I appreciate those words and hope we live them every day.

I think we’re all lucky to work with one another. Just a good group of guys and one gal IMO.

Thanks. Very kind words.

I love B-Rob's analysis. He sees things only a former pro can see.

Couldn't agree more. They're passionate about Texas without letting every win make them irrationally optimistic or every loss make them irrationally pessimistic. They'll praise what's working, criticize what isn't, and move on without the over-the-top meltdown routine. That's a pretty rare combination these days. 🤘

No offense to anyone else but Jeff and Gerry are my two favourites at OTF. Love everyone else though but those two are my favourites. Although Jeff and Rod B together on a live stream is freaking goated. Throw Gerry in and it'll be the best show of the week lol. When he's back to 100% of course.
