I sadly missed the beginning of OTF this morning, which is usually what I do to begin every morning. However, as soon as I saw your new premium content I immediately signed on. I look forward to the content only OTF can provide.

Congrats to Rickey on becoming a Longhorn. Congratulations to OTF for beating everyone else with the news.

I would think he would be on campus for at least four years with two years as a starter. More than likely, he stays all five years and has three years as a starter. That 25 game threshold, as a starter, that Quinn has mentioned seems like a good target number. However, if Arch starts several games in 2024, due to injury, then that could change the dynamic. As mentioned, both uncles stayed on campus and used up their eligibility. Of course, the game and perceptions have changed since Eli finished college.

Tremendous write up. Thanks

That is very impressive.

I had always hoped for Washington to come to UT but until he can get his weight under control, he will never live up to his potential.

He looks to be a better runner than the QBs Sark has recruited at UT. IMO, if you are recruiting two QBs and they are roughly equal in throwing talent take the taller of the two. Just my opinion.

My first thought is that I hope he (Scruggs) is able to overcome whatever demons he is battling. Secondly, I hope this does cause several of Michigan’s players (especially the D-line players) to look towards the portal.

It is hard to grasp that Sark and the staff are looking into 2027 recruits while in the middle of recruiting 2025 players. This staff’s effort to bring in and evaluate talent is something I have never seen at UT before.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to tomorrow’s Coffee and Football to hear the discussion between Gerry and you.

I am thrilled to get this inside look into UT football. I am as starved for Longhorn football as everyone else. These little doses feed my addiction and fuel my obsession.

This is one of the better features of OTF. Since I spend so little time on social media, I can come here and see what media around the country, the players themselves, and the university is saying and doing about UT sports.

I’d say you proved my point. While I believe both Baxter and Blue are capable of rushing for 1,000+ yards (though not in the same season), neither has proven that they can last a full season as RB #1.

I agree. I have read a number of accounts of the incident and they all varied slightly. Did he know that peanuts were life threatening? Did he think that they would just give him a rash? Did he really try to clean up the peanuts from the locker when he learned how dangerous they might be? I do not know, and to be honest I doubt anyone on this board knows for sure. However, if anyone who has posted opposition to this recruitment and has driven under the influence (liquor or drugs) then your hypocrisy is showing. Those of you questioning Sark over this remind me of his first two years when you were calling for his firing (or PK, Choate, Gideon, etc) and who now scream his praises. To the original topic, I trust Sark will not do anything to jeopardize the program. He has as much, and in some ways more, than any of us to lose if this goes South.

I agree with the panel that at least 8 of the decade’s teams make the playoffs, possibly all 10. Rod’s statement about Mack coaching scared brought back memories. No knock on Mack but Ced B’s career didn’t really begin till after the OU game his Fr. year. His unwillingness to open up the offense, especially early in the decade, could have cost UT some games.

Watching it now. There were just so many good UT teams during that decade.

Thanks

Will the usage of headsets begin the 2024 season? If so, will Sark use them during the Spring game?

He so richly deserves it.

I think it is apparent that the Colts do not have Sam in their long term plans, at least not as a starter.

Fantastic news. Any info on who will be hosting the show?

Fantastic work

Gotta love large humans.

I think C Williams will be a bust as the #1 pick. I would hate to see A Mitchell as an Eagle.
