  1. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but the intramural trivia team I was on at Texas was named Garvey's Kids.
  2. That's not the current plan. How about on Thanksgiving Day? Though I think the NFL has basically overwhelmed that day.
  3. Ed Oliver but that was primarily because Corby Meekins was Ed's HS coach and went to Houston as an assistant.
  4. Don't think Texas really competes much against Houston in recruiting.
  5. Very happy for Oscar and his family!
  6. Wow. I covered him as a recruit and made him the no. 1 ranked RB in the country.
  7. I don't think this is universal but... I think A&M meant more to people from Houston, East Texas and South Texas while OU meant more to people from Dallas, North Texas and West Texas.
  8. It wasn't Dave Campbell. But yes.
  9. Happy to do it. BTW - this weekend was the last that Texas will play an event at TCU in any sport for a while. Texas women's basketball put it on the Horned Frogs. TCU is not the problem here, but it's an interesting mark in time.
  10. It should come as little surprise, but for those thinking that Texas may attempt to rekindle a game with Texas Tech, Baylor, or any other Big 12 team soon, I am told don't hold your breath. According to a high-ranking university source, the riff between Texas and the Big 12 has not ebbed in recent months, even if it is no longer a major topic within the athletic department. Brett Yormark's public pre-season comments in Lubbock and those of deputy Big 12 commissioner Tim Weiser on radio row at Big 12 media days still echo in the memories of Texas power brokers. Those words and actions have swayed the current University of Texas athletic leadership to no longer genuinely contemplate playing any former Big 12 school in football or basketball. Not for the foreseeable future. When Texas (and Oklahoma) first accepted the invitation to move into the SEC, Tech attempted to publicly negotiate an agreement with the Horns to continue playing an annual football game. The Red Raiders can now put those plans in the rear-view mirror. "It's just not going to happen," the source said of any Big 12 teams on the future schedule in football or basketball. "The Big 12 made their bed." The attitude of others toward Texas apparently plays a role in that decision. "We're the bad guys," the source said. "We're always the bad guys when all we want is what's best for us. Any one of them would have done the same if they had gotten the invite (to the SEC) that we did."

  12. Sure. Hopefully before the post-season.
  13. I don’t think so. I think Texas is focused on 2025 class now. He would also have to first enter himself in the portal since he signed with Alabama.
  14. That was a butt whooping!
  15. You’d have to ask Sam. But Texas is not pushing for a commitment early. Perhaps Tech is?
  16. Unbelievable. All the feels.
  17. He likes Texas. He’s expected back in March.
  18. Agree with Ryan on this.
  19. Ha. Just old school lockers my wife had in the garage that we used to put sports equipment in. Hope everyone has fun with friends and family today for the Super Bowl. I’ve already started slow-cooking the chili here at the house!
  20. I don’t. But I’m also not a coach that has to make that decision.
  21. I’d go with Filsaime at this point.
