I don't know. I think at least to start the season the secondary may be better than the pass rush. Lot of talent and experience between Makuba, Barron, Williams, Muhammad, and Brooks.

With all the Treys and Bucks by the season start I'll probably be calling him Buck Owens

Will be a shame if it becomes one thing after another. Hope this is the extent and he gets right quickly and stays right

Early signing day July 31st makes some sense, but with that you'd have to have the class fully evaluated and offered before they ever play a snap their senior year. It also wouldn't help as much as people think because with unlimited portal you'd still have to keep recruiting all of them the whole time anyway. Would love a change where portal only becomes available after you've completed 1 full season on the campus you signed with whether early or in February, but we all know there's no way for the NCAA to make changes without getting sued these days.

Hey Gerry, quick off topic question I was wondering. I noticed Chapel Hill got shut out in the state final by Anna. I saw Anna play twice at the beginning of the season and again in the state semi final both against Decatur as my inlaws are from there and I have 2 nieces who are cheerleader/band there. Does Decatur have any D1 prospects? The RB seemed like a guy who could sneak into the G5 level to me. What about Anna? That team looked even better than they had the year before.

Sark has shown one big thing both of his post Mack predecessors didn't... The ability to put together and maintain an elite "get the job done" staff. I felt several of Charlie's and Tom's hires out the gate gave virtually no chance to succeed at one of the big time preeminent programs.

Manscape will get you smooth as ice if you also don't have Glasscock

I don't understand how boom or bust is considered a better grade than will be a good starter within 2 years. Unless it's not supposed to be analyzed in sequential order. To me boom or bust means a guy has a ton of talent but off the field issues/maturity issues/questionable desire to work.

What does that position do? Does he make great coffee? Kidding, but wondering what the job is

"I asked if Cordova would attend the spring game and was told "it's open to the public" Ouch. Yeah, that pretty much says it all right there. Hope the lad gets his head right and does good things out there going forward

They beat those three teams they better not lose two games to the rest of the schedule

I respect your opinion but I have a hard time thinking going 10-2 losing those 2 games would be worse than going 2-10 winning only those 2 games. Those games are rivalry games we want to win but we have much bigger fish to fry heading into the SEC. We need to establish consistent success, continue to build recruiting, and push towards winning a NC. Depending on how spring portal and off-season development shake out we could be a top 3 talented team with a top 3 QB in the nation this coming season. It's very possible

I posted this on the morning recruiting nuggets thread the morning this came out and it's how I see this situation as it relates to Sark and the program "Situations like these remind me of a quote in the movie Casino where Joe Bob Briggs plays the nephew of an influential Vegas politician who as a pit boss lets 2 machines pay out jackpots back to back without realize he was being scammed. After firing him De Niro says something like "he was either in on it or too stupid to know the difference. Either way I can't use him". I see this the same. This kid either intentionally poisoned his teammate or was too ignorant to realize he was poisoning his teammate. Either way not Texas 2025 material." I don't know the kid and don't know the situation at all. I have no ties to LT. I just know right now we seem to have a pretty seriously tight locker room and little margin for error since we're legitimately aiming at a National Championship run over the next few seasons. I have a feeling this kid's offer has become non-commitable at this point. We'll never know though because the best course of action for Sark is to keep quiet publicly and just stop recruiting the kid. No reason to make a statement about it. I can understand how so many people would feel emotionally moved by this as so many people, myself included, have had a child get bullied in school. Many of us went through some level of it when we were kids too. It's a topic that hits home and induces rage rather quickly for so many people.

If you're a Texas Ex and haven't been to the Ex's pregame center behind the stadium then should pop in for a bit just to check it out. Crown and Anchor is a great pregame place of you get there early. This will be a bit off topic of game atmosphere but for later in the night after an early game Tiki Tatsu-Ya on South Lamar is a great experience. Have to make reservations though.

Cannot agree there. There's a chance Texas enters the season along with Georgia and OSU as the three best teams on paper. Best combination of talent, depth, and top end experienced talent at QB. If that's the case then being in the SEC title game and in the playoffs should be the expectation given not only what Texas has but what others (OU, Alabama, Michigan) no longer have. Of course on paper can burn up quick with injuries to key players and/or lack of development and focus.

Depends on what they have in 2nd and 3rd year guys who will be counted on to fill roles of departing players. Depends on how good Ewers can be throwing to more speed than he's had before in his 3rd year starting. Depends on who gets injured and how severely. Way too early to set any expectations. Ask me on October 15th

After thinking a bit more about it I tend to agree. Situations like these remind me of a quote in the movie Casino where Joe Bob Briggs plays the nephew of an influential Vegas politician who as a pit boss lets 2 machines pay out jackpots back to back without realize he was being scammed. After firing him De Niro says something like "he was either in on it or too stupid to know the difference. Either way I can't use him". I see this the same. This kid either intentionally poisoned his teammate or was too stupid to realize he was poisoning his teammate. Either way not Texas 2025 material.

Had to look it up myself. While allegedly bullying a kid who is severely allergic to peanuts he put peanuts in his jersey. If I'm Sark and he's a borderline take I'm backing out. If he's a definite take I'm putting in the time to dig into this as much as possible to determine if you believe he knew this could kill a person or if he's just dumb. If the former then I'm out, if the latter then keep watching to see how he responds.

I think the receivers who are showing out by end of August will get opportunities at reps. Then whoever produces will get more.

100 percent worth spending all that money that isn't mine on. I don't see Sark as getting Jimbo fat and happy. The first 3 years seems to show a guy who's obsessed with dotting I's and crossing T's. He keeps it up and he'll be here a long time with his ability to evaluate and develop QBs.

That's just criminal. He showed so much promise, especially on the defensive end, as a freshman at ISU. There's a reason for the regression and I'd love to know what it is.

The OT game against Houston was the one to win to get them in. They had no shot at this one from the jump ball barring a ridiculous shooting night

They aren't getting this game barring drastic changes. Houston is amped up, their crowd is amped up, and we look like our inconsistent selves.

Watching Hunter stink it up every time he touches the court is making my eyes sensitive

I think that's the part that keeps me from ever being too invested in the basketball program even though I've been watching it and pulling for them since I was a kid. I never have a doubt they'll put everything in to win in football even if they screw it up at times, but seems they feel basketball is something it would be nice to win a title in but not dedicated to go all out to get it done.
