    Sayin did what Arch should have done on 4th down. Arch had Endries.

    If he survives the potential of yips in Ohio Stadium we will all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

    Would the #1 D practicing against Arch be good for them against Sayin? If they can get to Arch, they should be able to get to Sayin. But if they cannot get to Arch would that mean they cannot get to Sayin?

    While trying to think of a dark side to this thanks to Herman, I simply can't!

    Randy's wife, Jenna, has written some fine Longhorn lore. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jenna+mceachern&crid=1276MUOSS75AW&sprefix=jenna+mceachern%2Caps%2C137&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Shameless hype for some old friends.

    You like traveling to Lubbock?

    It will work so long as the athletes are still required to attend and pass classes on a reasonable course to graduate. And I think it is inevitable and the only economically feasible solution. If the athletes are actually students getting paid [graduate TAs are students getting paid - it's not an unknown concept] then it remains a college sport. If there are no classroom requirements it becomes a sponsored pro sport.

    I think some of Eddie Robinson's teams at Grambling might have been invisible to everyone except the student body and the NFL.

    On an 85 man all time Texas roster, say there are 4 QBs. Say VY, Colt, and Layne are 3 of them. Is a #11 the fourth? If you want to stack QBs on that roster, name 4 and 5, (and 6?)

    The idea of second guessing. Akina is worth immediately dismissing

    Best 3* ever? (at UT)

    It's my 82d birthday and I will be in Los Angeles Union Station earing breakfast, drinking Starbucks most likely, and watching on my Samsung cell phone while my wife patiently awaits my return to the moment.

    These teams appear stacked with enough talent to play each other twice this season. There are perhaps 5-7 other stacked college teams in America. The loser in Columbus can only afford one more loss and be assured of a playoff spot, I think. Vegas apparently has the home team favored by the standard home team betting margin. I won't bet this game. I will be watching on TV, enjoying a Texas victory or having the next week to recover from the anguish. Hook 'em.

    Inspirational guys: RoJo, J Whitt guys who way outperformed expectations with desire and tenacity: Helm, Murphy, Taaffe, Barron, Sorrell, Wisner guys who lived up to expectations in every way - many, notably Bijan, Worthy, Banks, Sanders, Simmons, Hill, 3 DTs, 2 more WRs, Brooks, Mukuba... A leader not mentioned above: Major.

    Clayborn was All American, Pro Bowler, SWC quarter mile track champ. One of our greatest DBs, and stellar KO returner. As an NFL rookie he returned 3 KOs for TDs. One was on national TV and now on YouTube. I'll post it later. Or just reference "Clayborn 101" at YouTube. Watching Jonah play baseball his loose limbed style reminded me of Raymond Clayborn.

    I watch all Texas sports. I played baseball and some hoops. I don't like football in general but love Texas football. I have no clue about pro football. So I watch the women play volleyball and basketball. As someone above noted, they do play a legit brand of hoops. The women have had the best true PG on campus. No, i am not saying she could have played on the men's team. I am saying the men could have learned to play better watching her.

    Elliot, Ukwuachu, Oakman...the Briles crew that were prosecuted. Carlton Dotson, the Baylor basketball murderer. Then there was our own Arterio Morris. You get my drift.

    Big Foreman won the Doak Walker behind a very young OL. He was fast, shifty, strong, and big.

    Great story. Thanks for your service.

    OTOH, Texas has manged to miss on 3/4 of Westlake's run of QBs.

    Upgraded easy games are available. Princeton would be a lot more fun to watch than Fairleigh Dickinson. St. Joseph's would be a better schedule fit than Lafayette. These are more competitive mid majors, teams that have made the NCAA tournament more than once in mylifetime. How about a real challenge here and there, say, Seton Hall over Rider? Running up wins against teams ranked lower than 150 cannot be that worthy of a recommendation come tournament time, but more importantly, those games provide no actual sharpening of the team for conference play. And paying to see them is painful.

    Am I alone in remembering B Rob as even better than TC, despite Crowder having been an All American?

    Giving us "Moore/Endries" as an entry? Or are they each at +1300? As an entry that would be difficult to turn down.
