He's obviously comparing regular season schedules and where Iowa would fall compared to Ohio St, Georgia, A&M, OU & Vanderbilt.

Yeah, his main points are getting the season started & finished quicker with the national championship game always being at the Rose Bowl on January 1st w/ the portal opening on the 2nd. He also wanted to eliminate the disadvantage the teams that qualify for conference championship games deal with while those not good enough to play in their conference championship games get a free week to rest.

Exactly and the crazy thing is Baker also didn't play LT in HS at Mater Dei. They kept him at RT and put a natural guard at the next level (guy that committed to Auburn over us who I can't remember the name of currently) at LT instead.

This is my issue and what I feel like the OTF staff is not quite getting. I love the otf family and they're not the staff so the blame is not on them but folks aren't upset about Texas identifying the Michigan guys and making strong offers that were turned down. We get that it wasn't realistic to expect perfection but what's annoying is the team not acknowledging how badly the staff pivoted (or failed to pivot) afterwards. A guy like Tellek Lockette was seemingly just sitting in the portal for weeks from right down the road at Texas St and it seemed Texas kept playing around with the idea of bringing him on campus to visit but then would decide last minute to not. There's also All-American guard Laurence Seymore out of Western Kentucky who doesn't seem like we've shown any interest maybe because he's only 6'2 and isn't a big enough human. If Texas pivoted and waved those two in and we had an oline portal class of Siani, Seymore, Lockett, Sikorski & Newman then I think most people would feel like the needs were addressed. Sure, they aren't all grand slams or even homeruns but sometimes even just singles & doubles with a sacrifice bunt can get the job done. That's where Sark has failed and the otf staff not acknowledging that is where I think some of the frustration with them lies.

Using ASGR Hoops rankings since they include some international players they have our girls ranked nationally as such: #8 Brihanna Crittendon #11 Addison Bjorn #13 Joyce Isi Etute #17 Aaliah Spaight #38 Amalia Holguin

It's the Austin thing, the Westlake deal, us desperately needing someone at his position and Indiana bringing in another guard to presumably move him to center.

The only shred of hope now for me is the potential news of the Indiana OG maybe coming home that's been referenced above.

And Alabama will be a new school for him next year. Either way, 5 schools in 5 years. Just like Bear at one time. I guess we'll see how things play out.

And supposedly wanted a raise. He's also played at 5 different schools in the last 5 years. He may have a lot of potential but there are signs there to indicate he might just be the OL version of Bear Alexander.

I think Spence is playing the Mike either way considering the only other college ready Mike we have is Juice Cryer.

So we traded Nick Brooks for Hollywood Smothers?

When Graceson Littleton committed Johntay was still in his feelings and took to Twitter and called Littleton barbecue chicken. Next year him & Littleton will get to see who's really barbecue chicken in Austin.

I don't remember that but maybe. I do remember him talking about how the NFL looks at DL from the SEC and why he thought it was important to play in the SEC because lineman from other conferences don't get drafted at the same rate.

It was the dream team for that brief period where Bobby, Gerry & Rod were over at IT with Eric, Justin, Ian & Paul. OTF has definitely created their own lane and are by far the best in the YouTube/podcast game. IT has a lot of good info and OB's community still brings a lot of value. I almost think of OB as strictly a Facebook with only Texas fans where we talk about a million other things while mostly talking Texas sports.

Would have no issues with them adding Matai Tagoa'i.
