Blake, those make me dizzy. 😉

Lot of truth in this. Sitting is not necessarily a bad thing, it's a chance to get stronger, smarter, etc. Just ask the Mannings.

Let me put that together and do it in an entirely new post this week.

Is definitely worth a quick read.

This is good news IMO.

Should definitely be a plus blocker IMO.

Strong username from the OP. Over time, I think it will be LSU. Next year, Georgia.

That is the current narrative. Let’s see what can be done about that over the next few months, starting with spring ball and then going into the portal re-opening.

Here’s the deal. That looks good on paper. However, after the first three, I don’t know that any of them are shoe-ins to be drafted. Now there are definitely some “likely” to be drafted guys in there like you mention, but not necessarily certain ones. They all have something still left to prove.

A little Sunday football discussion for you guys. Gerry and CJ get together to discuss the Texas draft class and talk about who goes first and why. View full news

You’re right about other teams. Who else looks good in that regard?

Love it. I will never understand why some coaches shun or minimize a legacy and its players as proud as Texas.

We’ve hit on this subject multiple times, but I find it hard to believe the following: 1. Texas will likely have no fewer than eight players picked in the 2024 NFL Draft. 2. Even with that level of attrition, most national media types are suggesting the Longhorns should have as good or better season in 2024. Those things typically don’t square with one another. Heavy attrition, the kind Texas faces going into this season, means the team - any team - will take a step back. Yet folks don’t see it that way. So why is that the case? It’s about the offense more so than the defense. On offense: - Quinn Ewers returns for a third year starting. - The RB room should be fine. Texas blew out two of its last three opponents without Jonathon Brooks already. - Despite heavy losses at receiver and tight end, the Horns nabbed two starters from Alabama (Isaiah Bond and Amari Niblack), a starter and playmaker from Oregon State (Silas Bolden) and perhaps the country’s best kick returner from Houston (Matthew Golden). - The OL returns its stellar left tackle, only loses one starter, and has multiple younger players pushing to get into the lineup. But the defense… - The Horns must replace the strength of the D up the middle. Not just T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy but also Jaylan Ford. - Yet the Horns should be better in both the secondary and at edge. And potential superstar linebacker Anthony Hill is a year older. I don’t know exactly how I feel yet about Texas being ranked so highly this far away from the start of football season. I want to see more from spring ball before I jump out there with Texas being a top 5 team in 2024. Is it possible they are? Yes, absolutely. But let’s see if they mix together like last year’s squad first. “Culture” was a big word for 2023. In my opinion, it needs to be in 2024 as well. View full news

Love hearing that about Wardell Mack. Can’t wait to see all of these DBs in spring ball, plus McDonald and Roberson.

Well articulated IMO.

I love Gus Johnson. Great thing about what he said, he was right either way!

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.

This was the shot of the game IMO down the stretch.

Disu's dunk was sweet.

A little celebration never hurt anyone. 😉
