Longhorn fans treating their colleagues with respect. I'm in.

We all know JT is going to be a productive pro but his combine numbers were surprising to say the least. I would have skipped the combine rather than put up those kind of numbers. The bench number argues that he never worked in college on improving his strength which doesn't reflect well for a power position like tight end. The .40 time is also shocking for what was considered an elite athlete coming out of high school, again raising doubts about one's work ethic. Really a head shaker for me especially when his teammates all posted numbers demonstrating the opposite approach. Im with horns96 on wondering if there is a background story.

PK is a solid coach. Look no further than what he did at Wash and here. I agree with you though about our porous secondary. This season, year four, will tell us a lot I think because we have the horses now.

You may well be right but I would be willing to gamble on him considering our other options. If we can find a better sure thing then so be it.

Count me in as one who wants Tyrese back despite his lack of consistency being a big reason this year's team failed to reach higher. I just have to believe that he is eventually going to put it all together whether this requires use of a sports psychologist to get his head straight or whatever it is that has kept him back. As for Mitchell, he should be able to carve out a more balanced offensive role with more work on his shooting and with the addition of our incoming super freshmen guard's ability to penetrate opposing defenses.

Been following you guys around for years because you are simply the best. Congrats on the new site going premium.

Huge series win and confidence booster. This team proved to itself that they can potentially win the whole thing if they continue to improve.

Great pictures and summary!

Michael Taaffe as the leader of the secondary. Who would have thought? All this guy does is make plays. Love his character and heart. Reminds me of a guy from yesteryear out of Tennessee named Bill Bates who played for the Dallas Cowboys for 15 years. Same mold.

Gerry first to the punch while other sites sleep. Good stuff.

Ricky lost me at “I’m an Astrologer”.

If this group needed a wake up call, they had it screamed at them this past week. Need to improve in every phase of the game or they will find themselves bottom half of the conference. There is plenty of talent though to right the ship and there is precedent for this on previous Pierce-coached teams. The light must turn on for players like Witt and others who have ceilings that have not been realized. It can happen.

yep

Agreed and I see now what you were alluding to on the earlier question about Witt. He has some work to do but I think he will get there.

Yes, very shaky. But it’s early and hopefully we get it together. San Diego was a solid team in all three phases so they challenged us more than I expected. Witt will get better, too talented not to but he clearly is not back yet. Time will tell.
