Just curious what the board thinks about aggy vs lsu last night. LSU was dominating defensively before aggy switched qb to run zone read which as we know worked well. The question is did LSU not prepare for zone read possibility at all thinking aggy would not run it due to staying with CW or do they just not have the defensive talent to match up? Reed's season has not proven he is ready to be a complete qb or he would have started. Thoughts?

Ok let's review.... The Longhorns are 7-1 on the season with a bye week ahead and four games to go. How about season high and low lights. - Beat #10 Michigan comfortably in the Big House in a game that was over before the MU band played Hail to the Victors at the half. - Beat everyone else at home by big numbers while experiencing our QB1's annual injury that takes him out of action. QB2 steps in and gets it done. - Gave OU a beat down 34-3. That was fun!! Made Bobby happy as well as the rest of us. - Lose at home to a motivated and very talented Georgia team in a game most thought we would lose before the season. IMO, the dogs still have best material in college football and can make you look silly. - Immediately go on the road to play an upstart Vandy team who defeated #1 Alabama weeks earlier and won a game despite having way to many self inflicted wounds. - As a side note, Texas was ranked #1 in the polls longer than any other UT team since 1977. That was a great year. I was a junior, Earl was great and what a defence. - Just like Rod said last night on the post game show we are complaining from the deck of a yacht. Coaches get paid to fix stuff and I believe Sark is the man to do it. Does that guarantee winning? No , but if you want to be in the game you're going to have some warts and you're going to need to fix stuff as you go. In addition, I get it and tend to agree with Gerry. Quinn needs to keep improving. Regardless, of what has been said, I believe his recovery from injury has been slow and has held him back. Which happens to be the same as a year ago in the TCU game. He needs to get well. The SEC schedule is not for the weak , playing on the road is loaded with landmines. Finally, I really enjoy this site. I get it that everyone wants to say what they think about the players, games and teams we will play. Fear causes a few people to say some irrational stuff sometimes. As for me, I'm going to enjoy the cruise on the yacht. The view from the deck is beautiful even thought the sea can get pretty choppy and the ride a little rough. Hook'Em

Good player with potential. Junior tennis rankings reveal more insight to difference making ability.

Same for me Gerry! We would come to the pit at Conroe High during the summer and play pick up games for hours. Always a big crowd and if you got on the right team and kept winning you kept playin! Make it -take it to 10. Wow, what memories in the early 70s.

always remember that the secondary market through the portal thrives because of positive relationships built during primary recruiting. Even if DS isn't interested in Texas right now due to commitment to OSU that doesn't mean that he might not be very interested if he gets home sick. Just sayin.

Crazy to be reading about a prospect from Conroe. It has been a while since the coach at The University of Texas came to town for a game. When DKR landed in the parking lot in 1973 to make the rounds the whole world stopped. I was there. It was a big deal 50 years ago. We lived for a while at the apts out the north endzone across Longmire road. The things we remember.

You just didn't want to wear your gooders anymore for the show! Actually, being #1 is great for recruiting and the overall optics. However, making the playoffs is the target as a high seed. Lots of opportunity to come.

That would explain a lot. Watched him for a bit and he made one wow play and then seemed to disappear. Ivey #15 was more disruptive and seemed to make more plays. Overall, signing and paying high end portal talent can be problematic if you sign the wrong guys. If the culture is bad and the buy in is only for the money they will look after their own best interest and not the team.

Spent some time yesterday watching Ole Miss vs Kentucky. Biggest takeaway is the OM defence. More spastically, their portal talent across the board on that side of the ball. I went to their website and noticed that almost all of that side of the ball played for someone else last year. Gerry didn't you mention that they had a lot of success in their talent acquisition due to increased portal budget increases. I would be interested in hearing what you guys think about their performance yesterday in general and specifically Walter Nolan III. He can be a load but seems to take a lot of plays off.

Good read Gerry! Interesting note also...Texas is the only team in your top 10 who is not currently playing with their starting QB! Take away the starting qb from any of the 9 other than Texas and what would the last 2 1/2 games look like? Needles to say, without Arch Manning yesterday might have looked different!

When aggy feels threatened they just promise more $. Remains to be seen where this one goes.

I guess it just "scares you to death?" Are you able to sleep? Does it churn your tummy? 🤪

Really? Massive? How so?

If you want current information you can't get it on your phone. You have to go to the source! Great job Gerry, that's why you're the best at what you do.

Great Job CJ getting this video!!! Being there, getting the content and producing it quickly will always be a winning position. Keep up the good work.

Don't ever associate or listen to stupid people. The more they talk, the more your head will hurt!!!!

You misunderstand my comment concerning not caring about culture. Lanning is a good coach. Difference is he has been playing with Mario's players during that time. Sark came in with the cupboard really bear and had to rebuild. Lanning didn't have to do that. Sark will not sign players who's only concern is the money. Oregon doesn't seem to care about what comes with that or the future impact on locker room blowback from current players.

I'm done with this topic. Time for me to move on.

Bobby, I get it, you know more about this than I do. All I said was the reasons you posted day of the decision were all the right reasons he should have chosen Texas. There is no denying the money and what it changes. That said, he bit the hook on the offer. The facts don't change. He committed to three schools and changed his mind two times. Continuation bias suggests he has a hard time knowing what he wants to do after a bit of time goes by. You raised teenagers just like I did and at that age they change their mind a bunch. Would not be surprised if he reaches out to Texas again, however I'm not sure anyone will answer the call. He is a generational player but would the juice be worth the squeeze in Sarks mind? Thoughts?

I have the highest respect for both Bobby and Gerry as well as others who earn their living in this industry. I still stand by what I said, the money changes peoples lives.

Probably just me putting you on ignore. Apologise if you were not allowed to join because of that.

I can believe there were a bunch of moving parts. Time to move on.

Well said and on target!

Yep!

When it comes to life changing generational change financially almost nothing will be valued more. Just disagree with you on this one.
