Dread head meets Dead head - it's like Jerry Garcia jamming with Jimi Hendrix!

A bargain at twice the price !!

Different sites list him between 6'0 and 6'2

Two Cleveland QB prop bets for the crowd - # 1 prop bet - "How many of these QBs will start a game for the Browns this fall?" 1 - probably Flacco, maybe Pickett 2 - extremely likely at least two, probably Flacco and Pickett if they keep both 3 - pretty likely that one of the rooks will get a shot at starting at some point, especially late in the season if they are losing a lot of games. But which one? 4 - if all four start you can bet the wheels fell off the Cleveland Express once again -- # 2 prop bet - a likely scenario is they keep Flacco and Pickett as 1-2 and then one of the rookies as QB 3, placing QB 4 on either the taxi squad or on injured reserve. Which rook is more likely to be kept on the active roster, Gabriel or Sanders? Given they picked Gabriel two rounds earlier you gotta think he'd win out, but who the heck knows. Guaranteed distraction that's for certain.

Pretty sure the Suns would gladly offer KD for Cooper Flagg

Talks apparently in the early stages but the preliminary number tossed around is $5 million extra per team or $80 million total on top of the current $811 million media rights deal. I'm guessing it will go a little higher though. Personally I'd like to see it, especially with the expanded CFP format. This also paves the way to establish up to 3 annual 'rivalry' games and still play each of the other 12 teams every other year. What do you guys think? Pass up the game with Sam Houston or UTEP in favor of an additional SEC match? I first saw this in the Athletic but behind a paywall. If you have a sub here's the link. Here are free links to the same story in Longhorn Wire (USA Today site) and Sports Illustrated.

Wow, Davante Davis (Fall 2024 grad) was a name I did not expect to see. Been a long time coming. Congratulations to the young man! I think he was one of Charlie Strong's Florida Five who were going to straighten out Texas football for good, IIRC. Class of 2015 so he has been around for a while. Wonder what the backstory is re: him returning to school to get the degree. Davante Davis Football (former) Applied Learning & Development, Cultural Studies track

I guess teams need to get him on campus and measure him. Pick a number, any number ... 6' 1/2" 195 247 6' 1" 195 On3 6' 0" 210 Rivals 6' 2" 200 MaxPreps

Do the Cleveland Browns need a kicker?

Former Top Recruit Johntay Cook Commits to ACC School in Transfer Portal - Cook is heading to Syracuse to play for Fran Brown in 2025. (link to Sports Illustrated story) Bit of a surprise. Despite how things ended here I hope he gets his spit together, has a good year and perhaps hits the NFL draft next year. (easier to say that when he's not going to one of our rivals 🙂 )

You seem to be looking at the On3 Andy Staples tweet, which does have Texas # 1, but the article in the opening post refers to USA Today's poll, which looks like this, with Texas behind both Big 10 schools ... (no sarcasm allowed) No one really cares right now because after the opener it will sort itself out, at least for a week

They actually won the 2025 National Poultry Judging Championship recently ... no kidding. Here's part of the photo of the champs from TexAgs (too big to screen grab fully)

Works for me ... pretty cool

I wish they would scratch Arch from all the 2026 mocks, but definitely not going to happen. And CONGRATULATIONS to Texas A&M as two more members of "The Greatest Recruiting Class Ever" in 2023 go in the first round, doubling the count from their junior year. Of course, those two are no longer Aggies (LT Overton at Bama and Longhorn buddy Evan Stewart at Oregon), but still, kudos to Jimbo for recognizing their 5* talents. Too bad they had to leave College Station to blossom.

Just saw this thread about the tweet on TexAgs - https://texags.com/forums/8/topics/3540169 They are complaining about it too (here's the start of the thread) - "Fat Bottom Squirrels" has the best answer, IMHO "Nothing we can do about it other than bend over and take it. We had an opportunity this weekend to take back some pride and fell directly on our faces. Like we literally always do."

That's the Texas' coach's son. When we stole his dad from the Aggies last year their fanbase made a lot of noise about taking names and kicking Texas ass, like "write it down - we won't forget this - you'll pay blah blah". He's mocking them is all.

Just went slumming on TexAgs to see how things are going, what with the NFL draft concluding (just one of the fabled 2023 Greatest Class of All Time in the draft as an Aggie, plus the baseball series). Some of them seem to really want to quit following Aggie sports, though they picked an odd metaphor to express it

Good analogy - sometimes you have to hammer on the door a few times to finally smash through but if you're on the doorstep often enough with a battering ram your time should come. Both those coaches won twice, which should be encouraging to Texas (and probably programs like Oregon). I'm old enough to remember when "Clemsoning" was a pejorative adjective/verb/noun for getting close and then choking - right up until they won Dabo's first championship. We are well positioned now with our coaches and players, just need a few breaks with health and big plays at the right time. Fourth and ten forever!!

Seems like a good time to post a link to this ESPN article titled "Jim Schlossnagle is at the center of the Texas-Texas A&M storm" And this is another reason why they hate us so badly - quote from the article when CDC snaked him away from A&M after a meeting at a nearby cemetery - By Tuesday, June 25, Schlossnagle was the new coach at Texas, and Del Conte regaled reporters with his tale of meeting the coach in a cemetery in Snook, Texas, about 12 miles outside of College Station, when the coach returned from Omaha. "I left at the crack of dawn, and I knew I could not be seen anywhere in College Station, so I went to the Snook Cemetery and waited for [Schlossnagle] to get back," Del Conte said. "The Snook Cemetery will go down in history." The timing was stunning. For the Longhorns, it was the ultimate power move. For the Aggies, it was the ultimate betrayal.

C maybe but honestly if he played RT in the NFL he would be roadkill and Kyler Murray would be running for his life a lot.

107 was the total number of players projected as first rounders when you tally up all the mock drafts.

True that. Mel Kiper might never recover from that. The biggest Longhorn OMG moment thus far has been Vernon Broughton selected # 71. CJ Vogel had VB going # 181 so 110 picks or almost 4 rounds later, and the NFL Mock Draft Consensus had VB going # 123 or 52 spots later (almost 2 rounds). Seeing Dillon Gabriel picked ahead of several QBs projected higher was a surprise. Shedeur, Will Howard or Quinn Ewers - who is your pick for next QB off the board?

Cardinals are pretty good at selecting players with injury histories ...

Finally an Arizona native ... from a district adjacent to mine so I followed him a little in high school (Christian Clark is my neighbor). Kids from Shough's high school train at the same gym I go to. I remember him coming out of high school (same class as Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields), I think a two time state champ at Chandler Hamilton and ranked # 1 player in the state. Went to Oregon, backed up Justin Herbert, injured, went to Texas Tech, injured, played well at Louisville. Four (?) college degrees lol. Surprised he was taken this high given his injury history. The shock on Mel's face was worth it I guess (Mel had Shedeur Sanders as the # 1 overall pick). Trivia question - who was the fourth highest rated QB in Arizona in that 2018 class? Anyone know ...

Utah transfer Jack Bouwmeester edit - writing at the same time as CJ lol
