    Been a disappointing season. If they don't make the tournament or barely sneak in and get bounced in the first round, I think Rodney Terry should get only one more season to get it right. This is a whole new era of big time college ball, and with the sheer amount of talent the state of Texas produces combined with the portal and NIL there's no excuse for this program to miss the tournament or barely squeak in.

    It's a coach feeling like his DC and he just aren't compatible in the way he feels they need to be compatible. Trying to dig into specifics would just be blind speculation, but Shanahan obviously felt the divide wasn't fixable moving forward.

    He didn't seem happy with some of the defensive calls in the 4th and overtime. Think even took a TO to change one. Guess he REALLY didn't like them.

    OL recruiting against OU is going to be tough since all these kids see OU line in shambles and a great place to play as a freshman, although only the very elite are ready mentally and physically to play as freshmen. Kids need to figure out the best path for OL is to sit a year or 2 then play 3 or 2 before going to the draft. If Cam Williams steps up and takes the job then plays a couple and goes high in the draft that should be the ideal path for the majority of top rated OL guys. Gus "The Bus" Cordova and Chuck McDonald are must gets just for those great throwback names alone.

    I don't think it's a sign of anything rotten. He followed DeBoer but in the end an opportunity to keep himself and his family in Seattle came up for a seemingly lateral position move. When you've gotten used to living on the West Coast going to Alabama probably doesn't sound so good, especially for the wife and kids. Saban was Alabama football. People went there just to play for or coach with the guy who brings national championships. DeBoer has done great things in his college career so far but he has a very long way to go before he has that kind of pull, and for many people outside of the deep south Alabama just isn't a desirable place to live.

    As Texas basketball found out being able to take over for another coach mid season isn't the same as being able to build and maintain a program. He might be able to do it but I can't imagine there won't be bumps in the road and mistakes he makes as a new HC. Even if ends up being very good it could take a few years to get back to title contender level.

    Unless Moore is just a ridiculously quick riser as a new HC I see Michigan falling off for a bit. Harbaugh cheated his ass off to finally get them their title then fled repercussions and took the staff with him. Moore now has to almost completely replace the staff, keep those players in the fold, and might be staring down some sanctions. All while having a fan base and donor base that just now tasted championship. I would not want to be a first time HC coach in that situation.

    Offensive line that could be improved over '23 3rd yr starting QB who will be drafted Damn, I would not want to be a defensive back or defensive coordinator preparing for this team next fall.

    That 2001 season was my first semester on campus. I had no idea he was getting death threats and his cell phone doxxed. I remember everyone was pissed after the Colorado debacle but no one in my circle was talking about anything like that. Sucks he feels disconnected from a place where he should feel like family. Wish we could bring him back in the fold like VY and Colt. He was big setting the stage for big time QB play at Texas and a decade of excellence. That's how I'll always remember him.

    Georgia's going to have to earn that 12-0. More so than any of the previous few years.
  11. Hermanator
    OU, LSU, and Kentucky are kind of wild cards IMO that could slide up a line or down a line depending on how all their question marks play out. The rest seem to be pretty close to what you'd expect. We'd better beat the pantalones off of Arkansas next season.

    There's no more rules
  13. Hermanator
    They can't really transfer now but if you're Baker and PK/Sark you have a couple of months to get the word out through back channel communication and work on them to sell proving themselves in the SEC getting more good tape for a year before the draft. Not sure if it will work but put on the hard sell for the spring transfer portal.
  14. Hermanator
    With NIL and portal now landing 5 players a class that are either in the top 10 in state or would be in the top 10 in state if they were Texans is doing damn good work.

    If a Chicago takes a QB they need to let him sit at least a year. After what GB has done with Rodgers and now Love becoming successful after sitting multiple years I wonder if the NFL will start copying it. There may come a day where NFL teams want QBs to stay all 4 or even 5 years in college even if they're great players. Then let them sit their rookie year too. When you look at the differences between Jordan Love and Trey Lance the proof is in the pudding.

    Quinn needs to be almost living with those 4-5 dudes this off-season. Rep after rep going through every conceivable pre snap read and dynamic. The speed requires the right timing and cohesion to become as destructive to DBs as this much speed and talent can be.
  17. Hermanator
    It's probably about 2 things. -3rd year starter 4th year Heisman candidate QB -Everyone else except Georgia, Oregon, and Ole Miss look down. Just the playoff teams you have Alabama, Washington, and Michigan starting from scratch losing a ton of starters, the HC, and the QB. That's big. Plus many teams are able to win big and even win it all with solid but not top 3 round in the draft DTs. Especially if they are really good in the back end and at edge. Not a lot of great looking QBs coming back after this very deep and quality QB class in the 2024 draft. That's gotta be the main reason Ewers decided to stay another year. Lots of reasons Texas looks like a quality buy in 24.

    I'm assuming a sizeable portion of that weight is recovery from the season? Or else this man is on the Ivan Drago plan
  19. Hermanator
    Uncle Gus hittin' ol' Grandpa's cough syrup a little hard pregame. Nice recovery though

    Aßmas with a ridiculous 3 possession stretch to turn a tied game into a 9pt lead with about 2 minutes left and the team defense was great on the other end. When he can take over offensively like this late in games this team can beat whoever they play. Great win
  21. Hermanator
    It's getting a bit sloppy here down the stretch. At least the defense has picked up on the perimeter the last few weeks with Weaver getting a lot more minutes. They need this win.
  22. Hermanator
    He's chucking dudes in the air like Reggie White used to do to NFL offensive linemen. I see why Gerry and Sark/PK are obviously so high on the guy's potential. Gerry, do you know if he throws shot or discus? Or just year round football?

    It's definitely a difficult thing to put into action and of course kids would have the option of not entering the academies. In Europe the academies usually get them at very young ages and the culture in America wouldn't lend itself well to doing that. Just wish the IMG/Mater Dei type of system could be expanded and made available to players who qualify physically but don't have the financial means to make it happen now. Brown could be prepared so much better for the college game if he had adequate competition to go against every day instead of unleashing fury on those human rag dolls. Will be interesting to watch how the high school level evolves with the massive changes at the NCAA top FBS conference level.

    https://www.hudl.com/profile/16594800/Brandon-Brown Stuff like this makes me think the US should have a network of football prep academies similar to European soccer where guys who obviously are too big/strong/talented for ordinary high school go to get prepared for CFB. Brown's obviously out of the league of the regular Florida kids he's playing against. It does him a disservice to not be able to sharpen his skills against other elite players from around the country every day, and we can all see the level of disservice he's doing to kids who aren't within 1000 miles of him talent wise.

    It won't be 64 teams. The teams that aren't in that need to be are ND, FSU, and possibly Clemson and UNC. For football at least. My question is what does this do to other sports. They just had the softball coach on (entertaining Kiwi for sure) and I wonder how his sport/job will be affected by all these changes for the sake of football. What happens in basketball where a lot of powers like Kansas, Baylor, Duke, and Houston aren't in SEC or Big 10 and don't have football programs that deserve to be. I hope football breaks away into it's own thing and all the other sports are left under the NCAA rule. That should have happened years ago. No need for softball or volleyball or Quidditch to be traveling cross country for conference games. Need to go back to regional conferences in non football sports.
