Suggests Sorsby likely to be allowed to play at TT this season.

Near perfect draw and outcomes for Texas. Impressive Texas team ERA of 2.00 for the weekend. Texas pitching staff going undefeated without extra innings or an extra game was not over-extended. Between the SEC conclusion and the Regional we maybe got a starting pitcher healthy for the all important Super and hopefully the CWS. Plenty of at bats and production to help with confidence and getting back in the groove during the first two games. Had a clutch win in game 3 to advance. Overall Texas outscored their opponents 41-6 to dominate the Regional. 🤘

LOL. Ok. Oregon St was 4-8 in 2016, 1-11 in 2017 and 2-10 in 2018. Oregon St was a terrible team when TT scheduled the game. Thank you for helping me put an exclamation on my point. TT marquee non-conference game since 2008 was arguably vs Oregon in 2023. Big deal. We have played marquee non-conference games vs USC, ND, LSU, OHST, MICHIGAN and BAMA over that time period. Bottomline, TT has scheduled mostly weak non-conference games for decades, including and most definitely Oregon St! Correct me if I am wrong, but TT just said they want to get out of their deal in order to schedule Texas. 😆That is not TT trying to honor their deal. 😂 So let's not act like TT is honorable. TT trying to get gambler Sorsby eligible when he was suspended is not honorable. TT flailing to pass self serving legislation is not honorable. Trying to "legally steal" TV money from more desirable and deserving teams is not honorable. Trying to control other football conferences is not honorable. This whole social media talk of scheduling Texas last minute is ludicrous. Sark beat them 57-7 last time we played. TT offers nothing. We already bring the Texas viewers to TV. TT did not score a single point in the CFP. Nationwide interest for Tech does not move the needle for us. Even most TT fans know trying to schedule Texas last minute is an embarrassing sideshow with zero chance of happening. Texas does not reschedule in May or June for an upcoming August or September game. Preposterous. I see it completely differently.

The things you do for billionaires. TT is not passing their version of legislation and imposing the good, the bad and ugly on every other team. Insults and nonsense is not a good tactic to get Texas to play them. Texas has no use for Tech. We already bring Texas viewers to our games. There is no nationwide interest in a Tech that scored zero points in the CFP. Sark doesn't need to play Tech again, he beat them 57-7 🤣. OHST brings us national interest in a night game that will be a highlight for some elite TX recruits. Our schedule is maybe the most challenging in the country. We need and deserve a warmup game before Ohio St. The deals are done. Tickets have been sold. TV and travel plans have been made. We honor our deals. We are not whoring for Tech's benefit. Tech's outbursts and attempts to reschedule our existing game and scramble to play Tech is ludicrous. Media may not call Tech out en mass for multiple issues like they should but the fans see it. Bottomline, Tech could have been more accommodating and worked to schedule a quality opponent other than Texas but they chose to schedule non-conference (2 - 10) Oregon St. That is pitiful. Tech is digging a deeper hole with the Sorsby talk. They have lost credibility. Their up and coming reputation has turned for the worst in 2026.

Worst QB....that fullback Tebow (great leader and winner but not a passer). Then Baker.

Marcus, thanks for asking us and being a great contributor at OTF. I would like to hear from ballhawk DB and return specialist Nathan Vasher. We have return specialist Niblett and a secondary that wants to get more takeaways. Could get Vasher's perspectives as a successful return specialist and ballhawk. We have some DBs that may play multiple spots. Vasher could talk about our secondary and playing NB vs S vs CB. Etc. Hope Nathan is doing well.

Fantastic news. Was hoping he would get an invite. Ty Knutson has impressive HS highlights, nice stats and many winning performances on his way to back-to-back state championships vs quality 5A competition that suggest Ty is underrated.

Many players actually playing 5 or more seasons is due mostly to the extra covid years. The covid waivers distorted things but that is winding down and will be over soon. Unfortunately the upcoming HS prospects did not have as many open spots/scholarships due to the wide spread covid waivers allowing many upper class sticking around for a 5th and 6th year. For many decades, BYU has had older players due to missionary work. This will continue. It is not like mass injuries happen to foes when teams play an older BYU team. It is not a safety issue in my opinion. BYU is good and has an advantage but the advantage of older players is not insurmountable. So it is not a competition fairness issue either in my opinion. Believe it would be a shame that the few players that get injured for 3 or more seasons will not get an extra medical redshirt under this rule. This small group of long time injured players will likely get litigated and the myopic, arbitrary position may not stand. An exception should be granted for the few players that lose most of their seasons due to injuries.

While our schedule may be ranked as the toughest, it is manageable for a talented and determined Texas. I will break it down in 3 parts and compare it to last season. Like last year, we have 3 non-cons we should beat. At TN instead of a easier 4th non-con makes the beginning tougher but we get OHST at home which helps to offset that added SEC game. Believe we go 3-1 like last year or better. We play 5 of the same SEC teams with our 3 rivals, FL and MSST but Florida and MSST are at home instead of on the road. Believe we can go 4-1 like last year or better. For 3 SEC games, we swap at KY, at GA and Vandy for and at MO, at LSU and Ole Miss. No Georgia, that seems advantageous. Believe we can go 3-1 like last year or better. Fingers crossed, it starts with Texas staying healthy and going 4-0 to start the year. That would be a tremendous start and indicate we are capable and maybe likely to be 10-2 or better. No doubt a 10-2 Texas would be in the CFP.

Any thoughts or rumors on when Cojoe is coming back healthy and is he getting a look or chance at starting LG? I like the way you used more than 11 positions for both offense and defense to provide more insights on our optionality. Appreciate the good work.

Good stuff Gerry. Is Texas getting at least 1 public committment announcement this weekend?

Done

6-5 205# 4.37 40 Sales would form a dynamic duo with 10.2 100M Royal. Believe that would surpass Coleman/Wingo and rival Mitchell/Worthy. Believe we've got the right QBs for a prolific passing attack, 39 yds shy of AL HS career passing yards KJ Lacey and Elite 11 winner Dia Bell. Hopefully the top WR reaching out to Texas wasn't urged on by his agent for more NIL leverage against his Midwest offers.

Appreciate it Jeff! Good on you to recognize the great Mike Campbell and Leon Fuller. This type of report with color and insight is one of the reasons I'm glad I joined OTF. 🤘
