  1. Love hearing that about Wardell Mack. Can’t wait to see all of these DBs in spring ball, plus McDonald and Roberson.
  2. Well articulated IMO.
  3. I love Gus Johnson. Great thing about what he said, he was right either way!
  4. The crew literally ran into a bird or flock of birds and it threw them off their timing or some such. I wasn’t watching but I’ve heard the story from CDC.
  5. This was the shot of the game IMO down the stretch.
  6. Disu's dunk was sweet.
  7. A little celebration never hurt anyone. 😉
  8. Nice road win for RT and the fellas!
  9. Sark has been playing from behind in-state since he stepped on campus. This upcoming class is the first where he will not be IMO.
  10. Confirmed this on Friday. Agree, decent athlete from a good program. I’m a big fan of the Texas PWO program right now.
  11. Above, John Moore talked about the 64 vs 48 decision. Two things: 1. I believe it’s going to be about money. What’s the number that extracts the most amount of money for teams. Do those teams get compensated equally, or are their tiers - first 16, second 16, third 16 and fourth 16? Or first 32 and second 32? 2. He also said it would be harder to shrink than grow. I agree with that ideology completely. So what is the sweet spot - as it relates to the amount of teams - for money?
  12. For decades, the NFL has really only cared about 10 yard spilts for all OLs and interior DLs. But the media has never caught on because it’s not easy to get the data.
  13. For those who missed it, former NFL QB Teddy Bridgewater has been named the new HC at his HS Alma Mater, Miami Northwestern.
  14. Rod and Coach Shipley discuss the draft stock of Texas players, what it means to recruiting and the impact of the departure of Billy Glasscock in this week’s Football Theory.

  16. I think it could be a level higher for both. We’ll see what Sark decides.
  17. Ryan transferred to Texas in part because he wanted to play corner and Ohio State had moved him to safety. As for his speed, what you heard was a bit deceptive. Yes, he was straight-line fast, logging one of the fastest top-end speeds there. But his “acceleration” was exceedingly slow compared to other skill players. CJ had the stat that the quickest accelerator in the Shrine game was 5.33 yards squared per second. Most skills guys were above 5.0. (Next gen stats were provided by a company called Zebra.) Ryan clocked at 4.33 yards squared. Therein lies the problem. Top end fast but doesn’t accelerate fast in and out of cuts made by receivers. Rod B ultimately thinks he’s a safety. We’ll have to see.
  18. I’m with Rhenk. If Texas can be above average against the run next year on D, then I think Texas has a chance to go a long way because the Texas O should be able to put up some points.
  19. Thanks westex!
  20. Hahaha. I feel good about this. It’s going to make them money, so they’re in.
  21. Perhaps that’s the way it should be. Again, the problem I have is foreseeing what model should really be used. The current one has worked for so long, but I’m concerned that now it’s broken. Would anyone be mad if the NCAA continued to operate but just didn’t have oversight on rules? Maybe that’s the way out of this.
  22. It’s in force so people don’t spam the dislike button. That hasn’t been a thing here yet but that’s the idea behind it.
  23. Totally agree. There has to be some regionality! Texas needs to play A&M and OU. Rivalries matter.
