  1. Spiegelman told me Texas was nothing more than an afterthought on Arch Manning. We all get things wrong, so I’m not throwing stones. But that was a pretty big one IMO.
  2. To my dad (who reads this board): Happy Father’s Day!
  3. I think they’re trying every way they know how to win and be relevant. But sometimes it’s more simple and straightforward. Recruit the best, hire the best coaches then get after it. And sometimes you need a little good fortune along the way.
  4. Schloss made five world series before Cain. He’ll hire someone he feels is good.
  5. Texas is not done. They’re working hard on a couple of guys who have been leaning elsewhere.
  6. I like Shea a lot. And he is dialed in at LSU. That said, I think he can only report what he’s being told. I think there’s a healthy dose of wishful thinking in that report. Now, it may ultimately turn true at some point. But for now, like I said, for LSU to think they can get a recruit who has not been committed to them, to flip to them and then also stop taking a visit to the school he’s been committed to for a long time is presumptuous to a level I think is overdone.
  7. I think it’s interesting that LSU thinks they have any dominion whatsoever over Royal. Kind of funny IMO.
  8. Don’t go Aggie on folks and start banning things. 😉
  9. No. 1 overall player is a 5-11 setter. Not bad!
  10. Making a quick appearance on the Finebaum Show here at 2:30. Asked to discuss Arch/Sark and Texas baseball/softball.
  11. You’re welcome. This board is about Texas sports. It’s ok if we stray from time to time. But politics isn’t where we’re gonna stray to.
  12. We can always count on Gerry to do the hard stuff. 🙂
  13. Appreciate it. I’m a big fan of Jon’s work and I think it gives Texas fans a true sense of how an industry insider sees the future of college sports, the Big 10, the SEC, Texas Tech, etc. Jon was very gracious with his time.
  14. Also, I really want to thank Longhorn Alum Dr. Bret Wilkinson whose scoring has made the Director’s Cup easy for everyone to follow throughout the year. From all of us: Thank you!
  15. Congrats to the entire athletic department-the players, the coaches, and the administrators and to all the fans and donors who support them all. Because of all involved, Texas has won its 5th Director’s Cup Title in the last six years as the nation’s best college athletic program. Hook’Em!
  16. Nice to meet you in person!
  17. Yes, it will likely be Friday afternoon/night given the early Saturday kick, similar to Ohio State last year.
  18. Tea leaves. Gerry leaves them for folks.
