What are some of your favorite Christmas songs? White Christmas by Bing Crosby ranks up there for me but I have to go with Fairytale of New York by the Pogues

Proof is in the pudding. While Bo Davis is an excellent developer of talent, he left a lot of meat on the bone in DL recruiting and put us behind the 8 ball. We can only hope Kenny Baker has a better hit rate. Keeping Sharma and Charles in the class and securing Justus Terry was an excellent start. Let's see how he does.

Could be nothing. But could be something. It's probably nothing. But maybe it's something? This is the loop in my head. In any case, tomorrow is gonna be nuts. Gird up your loins.

Disaster of a start for Tennessee. Kick return for a TD for Vandy and an opening drive fumble.

Appears to be considering official visits to Colorado and Florida Hopefully this is just him enjoying the recruiting process but definitely not a great thing to see this close to signing day. Any smoke to a flip?

With our return to College Station on the horizon, I wanted to bring this up to our OTF family. Many of you were born into Texas fandom. Others went to the University of Texas and fell in love with the Longhorn logo. For me, that fandom started in my grandparents home in Western Pennsylvania in the late 1990s. Unlike many of the OTF family, I did not have the pleasure of being from Texas or attending the University. Rather, my upbringing is in a modest home in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Far closer to Pitt and Penn State than Austin, Texas. My grandpa didn't have a particular favorite team (aside from the Pittsburgh Steelers), but he would watch Penn State and Pitt when he could. And when my mom would work weekends, my grandparents would babysit me. Saturdays were for college football. My grandpa and I would watch Gameday on ESPN and then wait to see what games were on that day. We'd have to look in TV Guide or our newspaper (the good old days). On one day in particular we landed on a game where a team with orange uniforms were playing. Now me all of six years old was transfixed on the screen. I remember asking my grandpa who that team was? "Oh, that's Texas," he said. "They're the team in orange." I've been a fan ever since. It's a simple story with no frills but for a six-year-old kid the burnt orange uniforms racing across the TV screen was enough for me. And for this now 31-year-old man, the love for the Texas Longhorns will never waver. Hook'em! I wanted to ask my fellow OTF members when your fandom started as we gear up for the Lone Star Showdown this Saturday. Thanks for making this non-traditional Texas fan feel welcome!

Who loses their job first Brian Kelly or Brent Venables?

Is Myron Charles visiting Florida again this weekend?

Grew up an hour and change from State College. What are you memories of that game? Never got to see Penn State under Paterno live. And that was Beaver Stadium pre-expansion.

Wish they’d schedule Penn State eventually. A whiteout game at Beaver Stadium would be epic.

Bought myself a OTF mug for those Coffee & Football mornings.

Is John Mills the biggest project of the OL commits currently?

My predictions: • vs. Colorado State (W) • at Michigan (L) • vs. UTSA (W) • vs. ULM (W) • vs. Miss State (W) • at Oklahoma - Dallas (W) • vs. Georgia (L) • at Vanderbilt (W) • vs. Florida (W) • at Arkansas (W) • vs. Kentucky (W) • at Texas A&M (W) Could see a 9-3 season as well. Just depends on the injury bug biting us again, how much of a step our RB room takes in Baxter's absence and our secondary.

Great interview as always, gents! Any chance of potentially getting Chris Simms on the show? Grew up watching him and I'd love to see him become more involved with the team.
