ANY ONE 'EM!!!!!!

I agree. When you really think about it, the whole thing is kinda sad. Especially from the HC. Their entire schtick is about another team. I'm glad Texas "embraces the hate." Hook 'Em! (Upwards of course)

Unlike recruiting in the Lost Decade at Texas... now potential recruits must consider the depth the Longhorns have. This is especially true at certain positions. So nowadays a young man has less of a "guarantee" of early playing time as a Freshman. In addition, in this era of NIL and the Portal, a recruit is choosing a school and team in a more complicated market/environment than in the past. I don't enjoy seeing players go elsewhere when Texas is recruiting them, but a few years ago I got very tired of seeing the Longhorns coaches taking lower rated players because they didn't even try to go after the top recruits. Hook 'Em!

... And Lubbock!

I remember when $MU came into DKR for an afternoon game and brought their "Payroll" team when they were a Top 10 team for the first time in generations. DKR still had the track around the football field. Late in the game the Longhorns' Mr. Lott Sr. was playing CB and the Ponies decided threw to his side from about the Texas 15-yd line at the North end of the field. Lott broke up consecutive pass plays near the pylon. After the second PBU he bent over and threw up on the track surface. Lott's big plays on D were one of the keys to the Texas victory that day. If his son doesn't want to be known as a Legacy player I can respect that. My daughter was not a student athlete, but I must tell you I was really happy when she told me she was going to the Forty Acres and our family enjoyed her time as a student at UT.

Agree with you... Makes me wonder if USC at Illinois is a Big Noon game on Fox. Another thought... remember when Texas -Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl Stadium was an automatic standout game every CFB season? Yeah, me too. Hook 'Em!

The Fat Lady isn't warming up yet... BUT when Texas doesn't get a recruit, I always remind myself that I only want players who want to be on my team at my university... for whatever reason. If a recruit commits elsewhere it shows me that they didn't want to be a Longhorn.

I have NO information. My guess is Mama influenced his decision. Mama supposedly lives in ATX and could have had him local. My life experience tells me she told him to take the NIL deal. Hope he enjoys the Cult that worships a dog in Collie Station. Hook 'Em!

Apologies to Javonne. I'll accept apologies from Longhorns fans who liked the look of the black socks and black cleats. Personally, my least favorite uni piece. Otoh, I really liked the Long Burnt Orange socks that the Horns wore in the late '60s era... especially the 1969 Natty team. I remember reading that Coach Royal insisted that the team wear the socks with the black shoes. He said his team's uniforms looked incomplete without the Burnt Orange socks. Hook 'Em!

Thanks! I totally forgot about that... and the way they tried like heck to keep Lawrence Phillips eligible. Oh, well. I lived in Wyoming for a few years near the Colorado border and until moving there I didn't realize how much CU despises NU.

Jeff-- I'm not a card collector. My question is will this obvious mistake make that "incorrect" card a collector item?

Sixth Street?!!!

They caught lightning in a bottle when they had Dr Tom Osborne as their longtime HC. And Bob Devanney before Osborne. Under those two NU was a juggernaut for decades. It's another example of a university having the right guy in place... and then comes a succession of wrong HCs and all the warts underneath the surface that were hidden pop up again and the whole program grinds to a halt. We've seen it in Austin before. Here's hoping Coach Sark can keep Texas rolling for a long time... Hook 'Em!

Or 8-4. Either way, I hope they get mired in mediocrity.

"...a front office that is the envy of college football." I could have been MIA, but that's the first time I have heard or read THAT. I have read and heard that the new GM was successful in the NFL, and I have heard/read that the HC now reports to the GM which is something the HC is not accustomed to. Time will tell, but it's interesting to know that they enter the season with a front office that all other teams envy. Allegedly. Uh, OK.
