    I mean we aren't trotting Jackson Arnold out like they did

    These rules have yet to be enforced. Tech is obviously blatantly disregarding them with a "why don't you sue us and we'll see how that goes" posturing. The NCAA can't win the most basic enforcement cases (e.g. eligibility) and you think this stuff will hold up? there is absolutely no way.

    Really now? You can't tell the difference between a real #1 RB and a guy like Wisner that warrants 10-15 carries per game? Wisner wanted "one of the best RBs in college football" money when he is actually a below average SEC starter.

    UT is making a smart choice here. Wisner lacks the talent to be a #1 RB in the SEC. Wisner IMO is making a bad choice. Should have come back as a #2 and spent the rest of his life as a UT legend like Rod B, Fozzy Whitaker, Whittington, Roschon, etc.

    Wisner can be #1 somewhere, but will that somewhere pay more than Texas would pay for a #2? That seems doubtful to me.

    I think speed at RB is kind of overrated, because really the passing game is always going to be better for finding explosive plays. What you really need at RB is the ability to keep the chains moving, pick up short yardage and run in the red zone, and unfortunately Wisner wasn't good at the later two of those.

    Asked for big money and we said no, so taking his ball and going home. I'm skeptical somebody else will pay what he wants. He had as much value to us as any other team. Guy just doesn't have the ability to break tackles or run away from defenders. Great vision but not a #1 RB.

    There is nothing morally wrong with players making purely business decisions but that says that their relationship with UT is purely transactional. It's fair for us fans to be prefer those who go deeper than that. We'll see if guys like Wisner and Moore even have the NIL market they are looking for. Seems doubtful to me. Those guys aren't superstars.

    It's just a matter of NIL. Texas saw Wisner as a good #2 but not good enough to be the lead back. Wisner wanted #1 RB money. We will see if he gets it in the portal (doubtful IMO). Last year a bunch of returning players successfully extorted us for more $ and that's how we had a mediocre $40M+ roster. This year it appears we learned our lesson.

    Sucks to lose him but happy Texas isn't caving to these oversized demands this year. That was a big issue on 2025. You can't overpay for DeAndre Moore types when other programs go and get stars out of the portal for the same price.

    Who knows how good ND was this year. They lost the games they played against good teams. Great at blowing out service academies and bad ACC teams though.

    NFL players generally already used their eligibility. No euro leagues in football. It is possible if a player leaves early and then flames out immediately that they could come back to school.

    this is a fake news account

    Good question. IMO Arch is a football player and we should let him make plays. No need for the slow developing play action schemed deep shots. Just give him some receiving options and let him keep his eyes down field.

    It's a legit take that our defense was already pretty good, and making this change has risk to it. I personally think the analytics over rate PK a little. His style of play ("make them drive the entire field") is good for the defensive efficiency stats, but has two key flaws: 1.) It hurts our offense that they have to sit on the sidelines so much while the opponent dinks and dunks for easy first downs, 2.) the entire concept relies on college offenses not being able to put together complete drives. But what happens when we play elite teams and they actually can complete drives? I do long for a defense that makes the opponent fight for every first down, and I think that is the hope with Muschamp.
  16. whereiend
    Yep one of the best coordinators we have had here, though I understand why Sark might prefer Muschamp (who happens to be the #1 coordinator we have had here).

    Zach Evans.. randomly retired before the season. I never heard a story on wtf that was about.

    I think for the UTSA of the world we need soccer-style long term contracts with buyouts and transfer fees. Then UTSA can sign a guy to a 3 year deal and they actually benefit if they guy is developed into a P4 player. In the current system they are punished for their own success, which is crazy.

    Excited to see what he does! Haven't seen a Longhorn QB start in the NFL since Sam a few years ago.

    Oh damn I didn't even realize that part. Appreciate Quinn but he has too improve a lot to make it as an NFL starter. As up and down as Arch was he was still night and day better than Quinn in the pocket. There were so many times this year Arch would make a play and I would say "with Quinn that is a sack 100%". (In Quinn's defense, there were plays Arch threw into the dirt that would have been 15 yard gains with Quinn).
  21. whereiend
    On the season Quinn has 2 sacks vs. 5 completions... We'll see but I just don't think the guy has enough pocket presence to play in the NFL. The NFL is like the UGA game every week.

    It's long been rumoured that Moore played NIL hardball before the season and got a very big check which he failed to live up to. Going forward we must play moneyball and should only spend big for proven production.
  23. whereiend
    Seems like a good dude by all accounts but the guy got paid over a $1M to produce nothing over the last two years. Honestly 2025 was worse than 2024 because he kept soaking up carries and wasting plays and possessions. Even against A&M he just went 6 carries for 10 yards while Wisner was 19-155. (And Wisner is a kind of limited RB himself), Even before the injury he was less than 5 ypc in 2023. It's nothing personal but you can't go into next season hoping for this guy to be the answer again. We need someone proven in the portal.

    If Tech outspent us it's not by much. They are smart having a personnel department independent of the coach and they were also smart spending it on proven players instead of hoping for development. Finally it's still TBD how good they actually are (I'm not sure the offense does much against a real defense). Sark blew too much money on Deandre Moore and CJ Baxter types along with a bunch of freshmen that are riding the bench.

    They pushed him out to get Mensah, and rightfully so.
