  1. We’re not saying the exact injury but it is finger/s.
  2. Hmm. Couple of factors here. - I think the staff has been happier with Baker’s work this spring and summer than some might recognize. Some believe he is the hardest worker on the OL. Not sure on the supposition that he’s been on a slow development curve. He’s literally a redshirt freshman and preparing to start this year. - Brooks was tackle no. 3 leaving spring. Then he got the DUI. Mentally, that will set a player back in the mind of a coach. And that occurred after the portal closed. In other words, they left spring thinking Brooks would be there for them. - Cojoe was not going to be a swing tackle. The pre-camp idea was for Brooks to groom at left tackle and Cojoe to push Baker. - In retrospect, they could have used another tackle in the portal IMO.
  3. Fighting against one another feels counter-productive. ** “closetojumping” helped Texas at a time of immense need, at a time when too many Texas boosters sat on the sidelines either waiting to see exactly how NIL would play out or too many didn’t know or understand that there were serious obstacles to athletic success, football in particular, building. The inaction or lack of understanding was resulting in Texas ceding ground in every way possible to Texas A&M in football. The Aggies had embraced NIL before it was legal IMO. That all seems like a distant memory now. But it felt like -and was IMO - an existential crisis then. In what remains one of the most classic Aggie things of all time, Jimbo truly screwed up a 20-mile lead in a marathon. Back to my point: CTJ, alongside others, was fundamental into the formation of what eventually would become the Texas One Fund. He put his butt on the line (and his money) for virtually no reward other than the desire to see Texas win. He did that long before most folks started chipping in. He also leveraged more than just his financial acumen to do that. I know this because I saw it and witnessed it first hand. ** So when I see one of CTJ’s posts and he takes on me, or CJ, Rod, Jeff or Gerry, I don’t really flinch. I accept it, think about it and then move on. He’s coming from a place where he cares about Texas football as much as any of us.
  4. I think Connor Robertson is your sixth best OL right now. That’s what it tells me. It could also mean that Chatman nor Brooks is truly ready.
  5. Tremendous!!! I'm pinning this just for the laughs.
  6. Sayin is the starter. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46008863/ohio-state-names-second-year-player-julian-sayin-starting-qb
  7. Let’s see if we can get anything on any other nagging injuries later today.
  8. That's a tough one. Really good player.
  9. Thanks for the explanation.
  10. The current top sellers are the mug and the trucker hat. Hope you guys like the selection. We tried to broaden the choices some this year. http://shop.ontexasfootball.com
  11. Love this. I know his mom and dad are beaming!
  12. That's great to hear! Wish him and his family nothing but the best. Class act IMO.
  13. I know I may be late to the party on this, but it’s worth your time. Matthew Golden. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kKxr2U/
  14. I don’t think any of them would be categorized as jumbo. The trucker hat and the orange logo hat are adjustable.
  15. I was texting with Doug Rice of the Dallas Exes last night and he said Sergio would often go to their game-watch events and be one of the guy leading the crowd in cheers. Good Longhorn and was always great to deal with for me personally.
  16. I'd like to better understand the inside joke that is gambling on Fifa and Ultra Sports. Hard to fathom how that was an "inside joke".
  17. Hahahaha. The shirt issue is all the different sizes we'd need.
  18. Wish we could, but we will not.
  19. Big believer in what his foundation is doing.
  20. We've replenished our stock of OTF gear for this upcoming season. And we've added a couple of different styles as well as updated the Coffee Mug. Hope you there's something you like here. https://shop.ontexasfootball.com/
