Haha, nice! My Texas gear is a Texas hoodie that I wear every year to the CFP in honor of the hope I have for next year (my sister-in-law works for CFP on the logistics sides so we always get tickets regardless of who is in the game)

Don't worry gentlemen, I'm here on the field recruiting our next left guard, wearing Texas gear no less

The tradition isn't dumb per se, but at least before I cancelled and moved here, the way it used to be enforced and taught was needlessly pugilistic, which in my view was mostly an offshoot of that generally being the culture of that board anyway.

Totally agree. The corollary to Jeff's analysis here is that, as a result, when/if Coleman gets doubled, Wingo and Mosely's strengths amplify. And if Wingo and Mosely are keeping defenders outside the box, to cover glance routes, mesh routes, bubble screen threats, slants, etc, Brown, Smothers, and Niblett have favorable numbers for an actual, consistent running game. And then, of course, defenses at least have to respect Arch keeping it on a read option or backside bootleg. Long and short, if our incumbent OL can stay healthy and make modest improvements and we actually get a few more dudes, we should be cooking with gas...

I've been wondering this, too!

This is so obviously trolling from someone who joined last Thursday. Should be banned and kicked off.

Also, it's a false premise. If both us and Notre Dame win out, then the ACC and the B12 are getting only one team in if that's what it takes to get us both in.

34-23 Texas. My undergrad alma mater takes it to my grad school alma mater

This is what happens when you get concussed!

34-16 Texas.

We're all lifetime longhorns. No one is saying we don't want to win after Arch. But until the NCAA takes away eligibility rules and tom Brady can go back to Michigan to try to win a natty as a graduate student, there will always be cycles to some degree at programs. Most important player in sports is QB, so if you can re-align resources to these two years to maximize, you do it. Take for example the transfers Texas brought in this year. It is not a coincidence that Emmet Mosley, Watson, Endries, and Spence all have two years of eligibility or time before the NFL is a possibility. If you need to move some of your 2027 resources to 2026 to ensure you get the right guys in the portal next year (or to keep Colin Simmons), you do it. No question. And then you do the same thing with KJ Lacey and Dia Bell's prime years (or Trey Owens, if he mans up and wins the job).

Ya love to see it

And especially the reference to USC v. UCLA near when those teams played....

I'll take that (sports gambling) bet!

YES, this... I don't normally take pleasure in other's pain. But for OU Football, I'll make minor exceptions... Would be chef's kiss!
