    I was surprised to see Alabama as number one. Texas's line was dominant in the match up last yeah and is returning 4 starters. I dont doubt their is significant talent in Tuscaloosa but am I missing something? The only transfer I remember them adding to their line from the portal is kayden Proctor who is just a bounce back from last years team.

    Yeah if it's just a straight money flex then I agree. I just think being located in the same city as Tesla offers some opportunities. Any University with means can aquire or rent European sports cars, nothing unique about it.

    With all the talk about Lamborghini after the big visitor weekend I'm kind of surprised the Tesla UT connection isn't stronger. I know a few players drive Teslas but it seems like a missed opportunity. Tesla is a brand with cache, especially with younger people, Tesla is one of the largest employers in Austin, Teslas are fast (Sark is building one of the fastest rosters in football), and the cars are incredibly safe which should put parents at ease. Seems like a slamdunk and a connect no other university could really imitate.

    I think tennessee could be fun. Battle of the UT / correct orange

    I dont have the quotes but I remember ryan watts commenting that RRR was superior to M OSU. Kellan Robinson commented that RRR was superior to the iron bowl. Although to be fair it's possible they would make the opposite statement if they had transferred from Texas I stead of to Texas. All I know is RRR is unlike any other game I have ever attended at any level of sport.

    How do you guys see this playing out. What does college athletics look like in 2028?

    Great news!

    Nevermind. Apparently he provided the Athletic with a copy of the contract. I dont think this ends well for that coach. Any idea of a replacement target?

    Is Saul Goodman out and practicing law again?

    I was there too. Haven't been brave enough to rewatch.

    Any idea what kind if $ you get for being on the cover? Any rumors of athletes pricing themselves out of the cover?

    I thinks this is good for all involved. Illinois' secondary needs help and Brooks needs a place to show what he can do. If players are going to leave, my preference is they go to a team not on the schedule.

    Noted comedian Shane Gillis was on campus today. He took a tour of the facility and took pictures with staff / players. The real question: Did he teach an OL clinic? Shane was born a Notre Dame fan with ND winning its last football title the year after he was born. Is Texas now a lock to win a title in the next year or two?

    Fun fact: OJ was slated to be the Terminator before James Cameron pulled the plug on that and cast Schwarzenegger. Apparently he didn't think a nice guy like OJ would be believable as a killing machine.

    I’m curious which players will transfer out from Texas. I could see a TE or OL but not sure who or what positions will see attrition. Texas has to have at least four or five guys transfer out to get under the scholarship limit.

    Wingo has the better measurables but Cooks strength is the polish on his route running and technic. Imo. Im glad we have both guys.

    Sanders numbers are concerning. After watching him the past few years and seeing him in person a couple of times there is no way i would have expected to win a bench press competition with him. Do we think he sick, maybe slight injury?

    I've seen alot of articles ranking ohio State's roster as the best in college football. Maybe they are just setting up the narrative for Day to be fired if he doesn't win a natty this year

    I think 2021 was going to be a rough year due to the 2019 class falling apart, new Qb, lack of talent & depth on the OL, holes at linebacker, and a deep but not elite WR room. Worthy, who was a late addition by Sark had 981 yards and 12 TDs. The second leading WR was J-Witt with 377 yards and 3 TD. Bijan was the third leading receiver. Without Worthy, its likely Texas would have had an even worse season under Herman. Herman would have been fired after a losing season with the program trending negatively and Texas would have been looking for a coach durring arguably the craziest coaching carousel ever. No shot for Riley, Venables, Kelly and Sark. Leaving Cristobal, Napier, or who knows. Glad we have Sark

    Yeah, he was my least favorite HC. I didn't want to speak ill against someone or stir up drama. I was more curious about how much credit to assign to the current staff. I know the job comes with a lot resources but it seems like those resources are being used more effectively then in past.

    ACC: clemson Big ten: ohion state Big 12: ok state SEC: texas

    Texas moved on from Tom Herman after the 2020 season with a combined record of 32-18. Notable accomplishments include and a Big 12 championship game appearance, four bowl wins, 2018 & 2019 3rd ranked recruiting classes. I think most people are aware of why Herman was let go but if Texas had retained Herman how do we think it would have played out? How would he have handled NIL? His recruiting classes suffered substantial attrition. Would that trend of continued? Would he have used the transfer portal to fix the holes in the roster or was the locker room too far gone? Could he have repaired the relationships he needed to in order to be successful at Texas? Are there any key recruits that would be favorably impacted?

    To me, the bar for the coming year, much like for the basketball team, is making the playoff. Texas has alot of things working in their favor, returning qb, depth at most positions, manageable schedule. Would love them to make a run in the playoffs but i have to see how they play first. If Sark can keep the momentum, making the playoff should be an annual thing.
