I'm so glad youre here with OTF now. It feels like this giant reunion of sorts. Expand Thanks for reminding me that I'm not getting younger, ITMotive. I'll leave the daily recruiting grind to Gerry and CJ, but I'm planning on being more intune with it than I have in recent years. 1 Quote
Alex Butler Posted January 23 Posted January 23 @Jeff Howe couldn’t be more thrilled you’ve joined OTF!! I’m a rabid fan of yours (Matt and Rod too lol) since I first discovered the Blitz in 2012!! Love your takes and excited to read and hear what you know about our beloved longhorns!! 2 Quote

Suggestion for off-season content- can you explain how a trading card for a teenaged darts thrower is such a big deal?🤷♂️ I’m not a trading cards dude, but that story has to be something. Expand I could talk cards all day, horns96. One thing I don't do, however, is prospect. It's way too risky with the price of Bowman products for baseball. Everybody's looking for the next Skenes/Trout/Holiday, etc. and hoping they get lucky by hitching their collecting wagon to one of them. If one of them hits, like a Paul Skenes, the money made flipping cards when they make it to the show is very lucrative. 1 Quote

Expand This is a perfect offseason to bring you in too since we’re rebuilt our o-line and I know you’re gonna be laser focused on Theo development and growth going into the season. I’m very optimistic that we’ll reload especially with Baker and Goosby likely taking over the tackle spots. I’m curious what your take is on Umeozulu and if he’s ready to step in and bring that physicality to the LG spot we need to have a power run game? I think he’s nasty with a mean streak! Also, how do you think we’ll fair replacing Jake Majors at C?! 1 Quote
Gerald Nash Posted January 23 Posted January 23 On 1/22/2025 at 7:06 PM, Jeff Howe said: I can't properly express my level of excitement to be a part of the OTF team! I'm incredibly thankful for Bobby reaching out at a time when I needed a friend as much as I needed anything. He's a good friend and the best boss I've ever worked for, so deciding to join OTF was a no-brainer for me. I'm excited to work with Gerry again. It's been a while, but a lot of who I am professionally and how I go about my business is rooted in the advice I took from Gerry many years ago. I've got a long history with Rod and I've got nothing but love for the greatest No. 21 in the history of Texas Football. Blake and I worked together in the past and I'm excited about what we can do with our baseball coverage. CJ is a rising star in the market and I can't wait to work with him on team and recruiting coverage. I'll be on the live stream with Rod and CJ tonight at 7 p.m. I hope to see a lot of you there! Let's have fun talking about the Longhorns and thank you for welcoming me into the community! Expand Wecome aboard Jeff, 247 lost a good one. 1 Quote
Austalgia Posted January 23 Posted January 23 What a great acquisition. Listened to the blitz from the start (the UT football dark years). Cant wait for the Oline insight and baseball knowledge! Welcome Jeff. 2 Quote
