Would certainly be nice, but Caldwell's lack of success with the long ball means the Vandy safeties don't have to play as deep, which could slow down our run game, right?

I'm guessing he self-negotiated the largest buyout in the history of AD buyouts for himself ...

And then there's this soiree "tailgate" the night before the game, held at the Governor's Mansion and featuring the University President, the Chancellor and the Chairman of the BOR. Unfortunately I cannot make it but I'd sure like to discuss Sark's flirtation with the NFL if I could LOL

They just announced it will be delayed 3 weeks ... NCAA delays rule change allowing athletes to bet on pro sports (ESPN)

Kudos for the expression "loathed nepo baby" LOL

I just checked the ESPN box score and Shapen is credited with 2 fumbles, one lost that we recovered so pretty sure it was that last play - box score here

Ryan Niblett is now leading the nation in punt return average yardage (25.5 yards) and tied for second with 2 punt returns for TDs (leader, Vicari Swain, has 3).

I would personally be OK adding Harlem Berry and/or Jaden Baugh, to round out the wish list

There's a sportscaster known as Trey Wingo and we also have a Trey Moore playing for us, so I can see where the slip of the tongue keyboard might arise. But our Wingo is Ryan. Nits aside, another great write up, thanks for taking time to do these. Very enjoyable reliving the game thru the eyes of a fan in the stands.

This got me wondering how well Sark did when we was an OC for the Falcons. From a Wiki article (I'm too lazy to fact check it but sounds roughly right): (quote) On February 7, 2017, Sarkisian was hired as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, taking over for the recently departed Kyle Shanahan who left to become the head coach of the 49ers. The offense's scoring output, under his guidance, dropped from 33.8 points per game (leading the NFL in 2016) to 22.1 points per game in 2017. In 2018, the offense's scoring improved to 25.9 points per game. On December 31, 2018, he was fired as offensive coordinator. (/quote) Hey, Texas Ex Kyle Shanahan for our next head coach! LOL

As we gird our loins !!

Here's hoping tomorrow is Hammer Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l80_R2HvXIU

BTW I saw this X video in a story about Shohei Ohtani's recent 3 homer / 10 strikeouts game. The article was comparing Ohtani's feat to the most impressive athletic feats in other sports and Vince's Rose Bowl game was judged the best single game performance by a player in college football history, given the rushing and passing stats, the two TD comeback in the last 6 minutes (Vince had 125 yards in the last two possessions) and the championship game setting. Anyway, enjoy reliving the memory before our game tomorrow 🙂

Seems like a good thread to drop this X memory - the most fun I've had as a Longhorn fan

Was that the castration game? LOL
