Thanks for joining the community. Hope you enjoy yourself here.

You are officially an OG. You were actually already logged in because you had already registered for the site previously, so it didn’t need to ask you for your username.

It's hard to quantify how much it helps. But it most certainly does. Every single player Texas recruits aspires to be a future NFL player. Every single one of them. Seeing 11 guys in a single year achieve that dream says a lot. The proof is in the pudding. It's not just a fairy tale. Ultimately, it will continue to mean more and more if the quantity and frequency of Longhorns going in the draft stays high over the next couple of years. That's the goal. Become one of the very few to win on the field and deliver results to players via the NFL draft.

So you can only edit your post up to 15 minutes following any post. That’s fairly standard on message boards.

One more thing: I don’t see myself as the thought police here. I’m just trying for a relatively civil community where folks can talk Longhorns.

That’s odd. It may be your mobile browser. Let me ask.

I understand and agree with that. They're currently putting out a superior product in baseball.

Not at this point. I think it's between Texas and A&M.

Joseph did just have a CB taken in the NFL draft who was told he had to move to safety by Ohio State.

Top right of your post, there are three little dots. Click on that and it should give you a menu.

Open to that dialogue and that's what needs to be discussed. Name calling doesn't need to be part of that.

No one is saying he's perfect. But the idea that he suddenly forgot how to coach baseball after going to the CWS four years is kind of bizarre. Could he be doing a better job of building the roster? Fair question. Acting overly dramatic like he's some sort of bozo is not fair IMO.

He just won another series. 🙂

Guys, This board is not going to become what other boards are or have become. First, I don't mind small cuss words, when used in a certain way. Like, "damn, I wish we would have won that game." But I don't like, and we will not allow, cuss words directed at or describing individuals, be they players, coaches or fellow board members, or anyone really. To this point, we have not had a major issue. But I saw a couple over the weekend that I edited. Second, I also do not want to see this board going down the road of becoming a place where certain narratives go unchecked. This coach sucks, or this player sucks, etc., without speaking about why. Right now, Terry Joseph seems to be the punching bag du jour. Well, he wasn't that until Terrance Brooks put his name in the transfer portal combined with a poor performance by the secondary in the spring game. In approximately one week, a rain of fire has come down on Joseph that I think is unfair. It's one thing to question, it's another to denigrate or state as absolute his ability as a coach. People will speak to the overall ranking of the secondary yet neglect Texas improved its third-down defense to being one of the best in the nation this past year. Clearly, the secondary played a role in that. I'm not sitting here saying we can't all discuss the merits, Rod, Gerry, CJ and I have all done that, but I'm not gonna let a coach or anyone just get assassinated. If that's what you're looking to do, then that needs to be done elsewhere. We started this board because we wanted it to be something different. Free of cliques, free of people talking down to one another or about others, etc. I'm not saying everything is sunshine and roses, because it's not. I am saying there's a respectful way to discuss these things. Thanks, Bobby

Gerry posted an update on Williams earlier today. Texas monitoring the Michigan State DTs. Nothing complete yet at CB.

Texas is rolling. There will be about the same next year most likely.

CJ texted with Sanborn yesterday right after the draft, and like @bourbasted wrote, he is headed to Atlanta. The most coveted non-drafted guys usually make quick decisions post-draft. That's a decent sign for Sanborn that the decision was made so quickly.

Love to hear it!

At pick no. 101, the first of the fourth round, to the Carolina Panthers. He and J Brooks will be reunited in Charlotte.

There were. He told some folks he was returning then changed his mind. Walton did something similar.

Off the board with the first pick in the 4th round.

The burnt orange continues.

Type I diabetic would get disclosed to teams. Plenty of NFL players are diabetic. It’s how you deal with it for the most part.
