Former starting LB turned TE

Looks like that picture was taken at their spring game.

I see a lot of pics with BV giving the horns down with a recruit. Part of your recruiting process is to pay tribute to your rival? Doesn’t this just make recruits want to see what Texas is all about. Or does he only do this for recruits he knows Texas isn’t pushing for.

I think it helps Texas in recruiting.  I’m not bothered by horns down.  I think it hilarious.  It just seems weird for the head football coach to do it.  I understand the players wanting to do it.  Texas might be the only program in the country that has a hand sign that is used in the opposite manner by non Texas fans.  It’s free advertising for the university imo.  It helps weed out the prospects that want to go to OU and the prospects that want no part of OU like Felix Ojo.

The fact that you have fan bases like Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, bothered by OU prospects doing horns down means they might be going overboard.  To be fair all of those schools have their own hand signs.  But to see them getting annoyed by it lets you know it’s not a good look for BV and his recruits to do it all the time.

I also just did that.  The most interesting thing were the close-ups on Quinn's eyes as he came to the line and before the snap. You could see he was constantly analyzing the evaluating the defense and what play was called and what he should do with it.  It was like a supercomputer quarterback's uniform.

Criminal interlopers better stop sniffing the Mateer methane. Didn't perform above average against a single credible team. All we heard last year this time was Arnold has a big arm. Doesn't matter they cheated their way to every title ever claimed. Doesn't matter a single high school district in Texas produces more D1 talent than the whole criminal state. It's QBU. Bunch of fake Heisman trophies and statues down criminal lane. The Kremlin is loaded with statues.

I wouldn't say they cheated, but the did play to what the voters like - video game stats.  They had offensive gurus and defense be damned, they'll just stack offensive talent and score.  To their credit, it worked, however those offensive minds are gone and so is the offensive scheme that produced it.

Can Mateer be good?  Sure, but I'm in the opinion that he will be average.  That's the thing with opinions, it's like arseholes, everyone's got one.  Last year couple of years the criminals had been talking about how Jackson Arnold was better than Arch and would win the Heisman.  Talk changed real quick a couple of games in.

Switzer and Wilkinson cheated like crazy, as confirmed by following investigations.

Apologies, I was referencing the late Stoops and Riley eras of all offense no defense.

Remove the cheating titles and they have one. Tied with Colorado and Georgia Tech. Send those criminals to the penitentiary where they belong.

Stoops won only one with all that offensive firepower he had and Leach, Mangino, and Wilson as his OCs.  Won it with John Blake’s (RIP) players.  Only won it because the BCS really chose FSU over Miami 🤦‍♂️.  Miami would’ve crushed them.  Josh Heupel would’ve been shutout.
