Unfortunately, Peyton Stearns lost to world #4 Amanda Anisimova and Spirrizzi got overpowered (but put up a good fight) by Jannik Sinner. Tough draws! That’s all for the longhorns at the Aussie Open. Now to root for the Americans. Folks still in the field: Madi Keys Jessica Pegula Amanda Anisimova Iva Jovic Coco Gauff Ben Shelton Taylor Fritz Tommy Paul Learner Tien

Spizzirri is giving world #2 Jannik Sinner hell right now on ESPN 2.

Have been posting his name since the Juluke hire. Recruited him out of high school. Love his game for a youngster.

A gameplan of rollout and "Coleman's down there somewhere" or check down to an RB might work honestly

Now that we’re officially in the offseason, let’s look at some former Horns doing battle down undah. Former Longhorn Eliot Spizzirri just beat the 28 seed player and one of the most hyped youngsters (Joao Fonseca) to advance in the first round of the AO 🤘. In his post-match he mentioned that he channeled lessons from Texas vs OU and other college matches in tuning out a very animated and well-travelled Brazilian crowd. Peyton Stearns also won her first match yesterday against 27 seed and former AO champ Sofia Kenin to advance 🤘. She’ll play again Wednesday. Lulu Sun unfortunately lost her first match but will hopefully bounce back this season.

Ha the men didn’t even get the lonestar showdown trophy back to College Station before we snatched it back.

I find this very annoying

Damn, what’s a brotha gotta do to get an invite?

Hello!

I am! Been out here for about 5 years now

@Gerry Hamilton am I right that he is a true EDGE and would not fit the "overhang" linebacker role? The overhang role is smaller?

Boom, I got some great places in LA. Dinner on me.

December 13? The ink must not have dried...

If there were rules for this whole thing, it seems like having a representative of the university (Michael Irvin) tweet at a kid to recruit him DURING THE DEAD PERIOD might be an issue...

Portal People Eaters

Me liking every post in this thread. Dogs are the best

Did USC play the recruiting game all wrong? In my view, they gambled (taking advantage of a lack of solid regulation post-House settlement) and paid high schoolers to stay committed, racking up a huge 35-man high school class and the #1 class in the country. They went for a first-mover advantage to load up on talented youngsters. But given how things have unfolded this portal cycle, it seems like they tried to get an advantage in the wrong direction, spending significant outlays on young unproven talent. The cost of developing those kids even for a year is not going to be great for them. If things stay the same, it's likely that big class they signed are either going to (1) cost a ton of money to retain and still won't be proven talent; or (2) are going to hit the portal. And absent clauses that require buyouts for players to leave, they're not going to get ROI. (And the enforceability of such clauses is also up in the air and will take significant legal fees to enforce). Was this a gross miscalculation? Or maybe they figured they couldn't contend in the portal and made the conscious decision to load up on young talent at a lower price? Either way, it seems like they went left while most of the college world went right. And I'm not sure it bodes well for Lincoln Riley and Chad Bowden. Interested in everyone's thoughts @Bobby Burton @Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel @Jeff Howe I'll hang up and listen.

Probably on metamucil induced bathroom lockdown the way he was chugging it.

Arch and Colin, aka the A-Team

I know folks close to Warren and he is anything but a quitter. He has fought for his opportunity over the past few years, even when the path to the field seemed extremely clouded. He passionately played special teams to help the team (though of course the penalties were frustrating). And he finally got some breakthrough this past season and did well at corner. He is by all accounts a great guy who deserves a shot to show his ability. I'm sad to see him go, and thought he'd be a really good part of our CB rotation this year. But I'm wishing the best for him.
