    Very strong class again, they should continue to compete for a deep playoff run or another national championship in the next few years.

    The loss to Florida where Texas crap the bed really hurts here. Without that, Texas is top 8 easily and can afford to lose 1 of the next three without fear or hope. Instead they either need to run the table or hope they get a shot at 9-3 assuming they don’t totally crap the bed and lose 2-3.

    Tech also doing this in softball and bought a stacked team. They went from cinderella and the sweetheart team (though with the million dollar pitcher) to the team to hate (more than ou).

    Smart coaching - basically make Rory try to beat you instead of the shooters. Hopefully Rory worked on her shot in the offseason.

    I can’t imagine that’s good for the locker room if the mercenary doesn’t pan out.

    Same will happen to sandy aggy once they stop getting Campbell's money. Though that pipeline will be available for a while.

    Yep, and coach Vic has a pretty short rotation, if I remember correctly C he usually only plays about 9 on the regular rotation.

    Put me in the camp rooting for win out and no SEC champ game. Rest up, and prepare for playoffs while not risking injuries.

    And a serve that actually puts the other team out of system

    Texas looks to be getting it together at the right moment. Like Ohio st last year, get hot going into the playoffs and ride that all the way to a ship!

    Texas didn’t take care of business against Florida and they did. If Texas has won that game, they’d probably be in the top 10 right now. Texas still has the recipe to be a top 4 seed, win out. Simple as that.

    I was so annoyed the Simmons was basically being held every play that wasn’t getting called. Did they say why Simmons was not on the field the last couple of series?

    My take is that Caldwell is akin to Ewers but can and will take off if necessary or opportunity allows.

    Anyone know Ange Kelly's contract situation? CDC usually doesn't make a change on the non revenue sports until the contract runs out (like softball). Coach Kelly has done a fair job, but Texas has never been considered a championship contender and that's what CDC wants for every program.

    PK does a great job with adjustments, not sure we can say the same about the offensive side. Apparently the other team's defense also does a great job of adjusting against Texas if my memory serves me correctly.

    My gut reaction is, I don't want Kiffin at OU. But my logic tells me he wouldn't want that job since they can't play in NIL and recruiting is going to suck for them compared to being either at Florida or LSU. And then off the field, who the hell wants to live in Norman, OK.

    The available coaches this year aren't great, gonna have to steal one and even then, most aren't going to be looking to leave, they have built strong programs where they are.
  18. HookemTexas
    So outside of soccer and football tbd, Texas' sports are all poised to have a strong showing.
  19. HookemTexas
    So you're saying damage control.
  20. HookemTexas
    I tend to agree. Kiffin to me is like a better Lincoln Riley, great offenses, but not sure they'll field the defense needed, granted Kiffin tried to build a defense through the portal.

    2005 was probably one of the greatest years in the history of Longhorn sports. According to Perplexity AI: The 2005–2006 athletic year is widely regarded as one of Texas’s greatest multi-sport seasons, driven by historic championships in major sports like football and baseball. However, when compared to modern all-sports dominance — such as 2024–2025, when Texas won the Directors’ Cup and excelled across nearly every sport — 2005 was iconic for its high-profile titles, but 2024–2025 surpassed it in overall athletic depth and consistency.

    Since the arrival of CDC anyway. Is that almost every sport is competitive and realistically has a chance to make a run at a championship. Reading Blake's update on baseball, seeing the potential for the basketball teams, softball is in the top 5, volleyball is #2 and expected to make a run, swimming, etc. It allows for constant entertainment of being able to watch Texas and be invested. It's different than the days (and schools like for example Kansas) where a fan could only bank on one or two programs to be excited about and then the rest of the year is ho hum.
  23. HookemTexas
    Kiffin's at least been successful since then at FAU and Ole Miss, Herman's trajectory has gone the other way and to now his only sniff at success as HC of a program was at Houston.
  24. HookemTexas
    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.
  25. HookemTexas
    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 . . .
