  1. I also thought I read last year that the incoming class was a top 5 class. While the expectation wouldn't be championship, I agree it shouldn't have fallen off the cliff.
  2. So how long until ATM give Elko a 10 year fully guaranteed contract because they are currently ranked in the top 5 with a bunch of jobs open? I said in another thread that there are few jobs better than the Notre Dame job, can't say the same for the ATM job. Bias aside, there's a number of blue blood jobs that would be a step up, although Penn St. and Florida would be a bit of a lateral jump imo. A USC or Michigan on the other hand . . .
  3. Yep, smart on their part making sure he doesn't think about Penn St. or Florida, or any of the other jobs open or about to open up.
  4. Kiffin seems to have hit a ceiling at Ole Miss in terms of the talent he can pull. Would be interesting if he makes the jump because while he may have more resources, he would take a few steps back in terms of building the program with his players. Though in today's portal world that would take all of 1 year.
  5. I'm in agreement, I may be in the minority, but I think the list of jobs that are better than Notre Dame is very short. Penn St. and Florida are not on that list.
  6. It really doesn't matter if it's Brent or anyone else at this point. So long as ou doesn't want to keep up in NIL with the haves, they won't be able to compete.
  7. I'm also enjoying the Auburn fans telling Oklahoma fans who complain that there were blocks in the back on Niblett's punt return touchdown to stop crying and it sucks when it happens to you huh.
  8. And yet you'll still get people that complain about Gregory where Texas plays. Compared to many other schools, Gregory is a huge upgrade. It needs some improvement, but hard to compete with the atmosphere.
  9. I agree that it's difficult to win a NC, however not so sure about extremely difficult. Someone will win it every year. The formula to win it though, has changed. No longer is it the stack your team, get a really soft schedule, win the couple of "difficult" games on your schedule so that you're highly ranked and put into the championship game. Now, it's how can you get to the CFP and stay relatively healthy enough that you can essentially outlast all the other teams. You have to be a good team, but just as important, you have to have enough solid depth that there's not a drop off if someone goes down. We saw how much of a different Wisner and Malik Muhammad was for Texas. I think this is another big reason why Sark went out and got Caldwell. Gotta have insurance for every position.
  10. Anytime Texas beats ou, I smile. Cause no matter what time it is, ou sucks.
  11. This brings up an interesting discussion - last year many people (myself included) complained that Quinn would throw the checkdown too early in a play. Did Quinn read no opening down field that quickly and throw the checkdown to take the for sure easy completion, is Arch waiting on the downfield too long and thus the checkdown is no longer open/easy? It's probably a mixture of both. Whatever it is, Sark, Arch and company need to figure it out because after last week, there's no more grace period. It's pretty much win or go home from here on out unless some of the other teams lose some unexpected games.
  12. I wasn't a fan of Galindo, but some of these SECN announcers make him look like an all-star. What I meant in my comment was the quality of content, announcers were secondary to me, but they weren't too bad. Seems to me like many of the LHN announcers went out of their way to not be Texas biased (including former Longhorns) where as some of the SECN announcers do not hide that they are biased to their home team.
  13. Makes one truly appreciate what we had with Longhorn Network.
  14. He was much more kind to Texas than SEC shorts was . . . Texas is back . . . lol
  15. At least the volleyball team is living up to their standard. It's amazing what Coach Elliott has done year in and year out, he loses 8 players to graduation/transfer this past offseason, starts 3 freshman, and is undefeated with a #2 ranking. In the last 19 seasons, they've reached the final four 14 times. If they make it again this year, that will be 15/20 seasons for a 75% rate. Just below 50% on the finals/championship game appearance. Just imagine if any of the other major sports programs on campus could do that. (Football, either basketball, baseball/softball)
  16. The difference between Ohio St, andBama and Texas is their trenches are actually doing the job. A lot easier to develop as a QB when you're not running for your life almost every play.
  17. Oh SEC shorts is gonna have a field day
  18. While I haven't watch any games, the fact that the Fever are in the Semi-finals with 1 game to determine if they can get to the finals, with a team basically held together with scotch tape is a testament to her ability to adapt mid-season and make adjustments to her roster.
  19. Astros probably need to blow up half the roster and re-tool, starting with the pitching staff.
  20. This guy just couldn't be a worse combination . . . a sooner and an aggie in one?! My condolences to your brethren.
  21. The biggest worry if the offense doesn't click is what happened to LSU, defense was on the field so much they just tired out.
  22. So much this, Mack would back off the pedal where as Stoops rammed it up Mack’s arse every chance he got. This is football, put in the backups if we’re up big but don’t hamstring them to just 3 runs and a punt. Let them play.
  23. Texas should add gymnastics. With the amount of talent in the state they would compete quickly. Especially because all the talent has to go to either lsu or ou due to no programs in state.
  24. I thought football was a required sport? Men's and women's bball, baseball, softball, football and volleyball is how I thought it was.
