Welcome Jeff, excited to have you here.  I met you several years ago at a Fort Worth Texas Exes season kickoff event.  I was also I member of the 247 site for years.  I can't wait to see you contributing.  This is awesome.

No doubt, Holy Cow. I haven't forgotten. Looking forward to getting out to things like that again.

Y’all have Rod and Jeff!!! Garry and CJ with Bobby leading the team. We couldn’t have dreamt a better group to represent UT for one site!!!!

Agreed, Triplettjoseph! Tonight's livestream with Rod and CJ was a blast and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Excited to have you over here Jeff, was a big fan at the other site. Left when Bobby did. But I've been a Longhorn Blitz fan for years now and hopefully for the return of that as well! Welcome!!

Thanks, GasserGaston. It continues to amaze me how people have enjoyed the Blitz over the years.

Jeff, you were one of the first guys I ever read when I started delving into Longhorn recruiting back in the day. I'm so glad youre here with OTF now. It feels like this giant reunion of sorts. 

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.

Welcome and congrats, @Jeff Howe.

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.

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.

Loved you and Rod on the blitz! Matt too! 
 

hoping you are firing up a similar gig here! 
 

thanks for sharing your love of football and the longhorns! Hook’em 🤘🏻🧡🤘🏻

A lot of my contributions should be similar to what we talked about on the Blitz, Andy Arnold. I like the way Bobby has things laid out over here and I think the format is just what I needed professionally.

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?!

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!

Wecome aboard Jeff, 247 lost a good one.
