My dad would have none of it either! 😉 The first hit was devastating. He closes extremely well. Definitely long-levered as Gerry described. The only thing you don't really see is him playing off of blocks because he's clearly not asked to very much.

FYI Every player these days has their mouthpiece dangling from their facemask and knee pads not over their knees.

I don't know if Sark did or didn't attempt to keep him.

Preferred walk-on.

Maybe the first movie lines I ever vividly remember... "Ain't gonna be no rematch." And... "Yo, Adrienne. Adrienne! Adrienne!"

Almost zero. It appears they are sitting tight at least until the next portal window which opens April 15.

My cousin played at Rice in the early 70s. And I'm a little bit of a CFB historian so I've read about Moegle and the Bama linebacker who literally came off the bench to tackle him in the Cotton Bowl!

Amen!

I absolutely love this. What college is supposed to be all about.

It's not just me. All these guys are the same. We're all kind of bought in to the idea of having a different sort of place for Texas fans.

I hear you. Saban's an easy target that most folks think could bring consensus IMO. But I don't want whoever this hire is to bring consensus though. I want the leagues and teams to figure out what they want as structure and have the czar (for lack of a better term) operate within that.

I don't see it as a shot across the bough. Working to find out about the rest. Some moving parts definitely.

The one thing Saban brings though is a level of credibility. What none of us want to see is a lifetime bureaucrat or a non-football guy get the job. University presidents might give it to another university president for example. So while I hear you specifically about Saban, and agree with you, I think it's that sort of idyll that people are glomming to.

Love it!

He's busy boogie-boarding! 😉

Even Saban needs a structure to operate within. Right now, the problem is the general structure of college football. Too many programs like Temple or Akron that are somehow in a similar category as Texas, Alabama and Ohio State. Those programs shouldn't be operating under the same categories - the revenue disparity is just too big.

All other football conferences should take a step back because It looks like the SEC and Big Ten are joining together to lead from the front. According to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN, the two major conferences are planning to fund an advisory committee concerning the future of big-time college athletics. The move is long overdue as the NCAA and its archaic structure continues to wilt under the pressure of a multitude of lawsuits, long-term mismanagement and rising public animosity against it. Is this the official first step of a new era of college sports, and college football in particular? My educated guess is yes. The NCAA's antiquated structure is unsalvageable, at least as it relates to big-time college football where the dollars reach into the billions. NCAA President Charlie Baker even perhaps agrees with that sentiment. Two months ago Baker penned a letter addressing the future of the NCAA and its membership. In it, he suggested that it's possible some larger football-playing schools may desire a different set of rules in the future, ones incongruent with and unable to be managed by the NCAA. It looks like the SEC and Big Ten are ready to take Baker up on that suggestion. View full news

For those unaware, Matt previously worked in the Texas graphics department for the Horns before going out on his own a couple of years ago. He may be returning it seems.

Title and promised autonomy would be my best guess. I have not spoken with him about it though.

Good response IMO. And it goes even further. Who is the person that got Sark the helicopter set up? Who manages travel and getting coaches to all the right recruits? Who are the right recruits in the first place? What about the portal? What about opponent and see scout? What about the role of analytics? Lots of moving parts as you can see.
