Lane Jr. batting .588 and 57 RBIs. 1.789 OPS 61 stolen bases

What's with the early whistle? Come on ref. Tremendous effort, ball skills and focus to complete the PD/INT.

Wake me up around 630pm tonight

Didn't watch but early reports say FSU didn't look good on offense. No surprise. On the Blake Munroe Call Your Shot....Like many, I posted earlier my #1 most overrated team this preseason is #10 FSU. Gerry had FSU. Blake thought FSU was also overrated. FSU has tougher opponents to play so more losses are likely. HOOK EM! Let's flip a FSU commit!

2024 Team Talent Composite Top 20 by 247Sports 1. Bama plays six of the top 20 - #2, @8, @9, @17, 18 and 19. 2. UGA plays seven of the top 20 - @#1, @4, 5, 12, 17, 18 and @20. 3. OHST plays ONLY THREE of the top 20 - @6, @11 and 16. 4. TEXAS plays five of the top 20 - #2, @7, 8, 12 and @16. 5. Clemson plays ONLY TWO of the top 20 - @#2 and @13. 6. Oregon plays ONLY TWO of the top 20 - #3 and @16. 7. A&M plays six of the top 20 - #4, 9, 10, @12, @18 and 19. 8. OU plays seven of the top 20 - #1, 4, @9, 17, @18, @19 and @20. 9. LSU plays six of the top 20 - #1, @7, 8, @12, 15 and 20. 10. ND plays ONLY THREE of the top 20 - @#7, 13 and @15. 11. Penn St plays ONLY TWO of the top 20 - #3 and @15. 12. Florida plays EIGHT of the top 20 - #2, @4, 7, 9, @13, 14, @17 and 20. 13. FSU plays four of the top 20 - #5, @10, 12 and @14. 14. Miami plays ONLY TWO of the top 20 - @#12 and 13. 15. USC plays four of the top 20 - #9, 10, 11 and @16. 16. Michigan plays four of the top 20 - @3, 4, @6 and 15. 17. TN plays four of the top 20 - #1, @2, @8 and 12. 18. Auby plays five of the top 20 - @#1, @2, 7, 8 and @19. 19. MO plays four of the top 20 - @#1, @7, 8 and 18. 20. Ole Miss plays four of the top 20 - #2, 8, @9 and @12. The expanded SEC has 11 teams in the Top 20 Talent Composite and 6 in the top 9! SEC schedules are especially brutal this year; it will be interesting to see how much weight is given to SEC SOS when selecting for the 12 team CFP. MO and Ole Miss seem to have easier schedules than the other 9 SEC teams on the list. Yet they seem to have tougher schedules than most other teams not in the SEC. ACC has 3 teams on the list but only 1 in the top 12, Clemson. Miami has the easiest schedule of the 3, it avoids #5 Clemson and gets #13 FSU at home. The expanded B1G has 5 teams in the Top 20. Penn St, Oregon and OHST have more favorable schedules than most on the list. No surprise, Big 12 Lite is not represented in the Team Talent Top 20 Composite by 247Sports. Their conference champ may not deserve to be an automatic qualifier for the CFP. What are your projected teams in the 12 Team CFP?

Bobby on OTF just said Flood wanting to rotate more OL this season. We may have more trusted OL than in past years. Hoping our 2nd group can provide quality depth and quality snaps. Doubt it moves the needle with Fasusi this summer, but getting more young players game snaps is a positive for early development and future recruiting. Season may last a few games more than in the past so all the more reason to build more quality depth.

Fans are on alert. With this recruiting cycle, we're pot committed. TX must finish playing the hand. After the flop, we can better evaluate. Adapt or die.

Texas doesn't have obvious early playing time at OT to offer anymore. Should Texas pledge to rotate Fasusi on the OL early provided he has earned snaps in the off-season in an effort to entice Fasusi? Would that make a difference in his recruitment?

14-19 for 282 yds and 3 TDs is a 250 QB Rating! Plus 61 yds and 1 TD rushing. ULTRA ELITE!

That may be good news. Nebraska with a losing record for the past 7 years. 😜 PS Past 50 seasons, Horns are 9-1 vs Corn Aggie.

Saying it is S&C related IS LIKE SAYING 2 guys in a car crash get hit in the knee by the dashboard and they get knees injuries due to failure to workout correctly. Ridiculous. ZERO, I repeat ZERO indications of defective training methods so far. Nothing has been seen with Clark so no way to discuss in detail but..... We saw the Brooks injury when it happened and in slow motion. It was clearly a football impact injury at the knee when his leg was planted on the ground and the defender hit him. Without that hit, Brooks would be 100% fine. Something absolutely had to give when Brooks was hit on his planted leg in the knee area. We now know the Baxter injury in detail, PCL/LCL injury. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is also a common ligament to become injured in the knee. However, the PCL injury usually occurs with sudden, direct impact, such as in a car accident or during a football tackle. Sound familiar. The Baxter type of injury was 100% caused by an impact collision, based on the injury and multiple reporting we've heard and read. Preposterous to say otherwise. There is no training to prevent injury with those types of traumatic impacts.

Beck QB preseason #1 makes sense. Hopefully our D makes it difficult for him to remain #1. Multiple candidates in the mix for best RB imo. Ollie certainly had the season stats. But Ollie was limited and even shutdown when he faced teams with a good run D. 😜 Judkins RB may be sharing too many carries with Henderson at OHSt to end up #1. McMillian WR, should get huge stats vs Big 12 like PAC. But is he really top 2? We get a chance at Loveland TE. Really difficult matchup in the passing game. Great to read Banks 1st team OT preseason. Banks may be challenged wiih our schedule/foes like his freshman yr facing multiple NFL DEs. No surprise we have nobody on the preseason 1st team D. But we do play 4 of them. Hook Em!

No, our current program does not have a S&C issue. Why? Brooks and Baxter were both definitely contact injuries to the knee area from defenders so those were definitely not strength and conditioning issues. Knees are vulnerable to impacts from defenders, an unfortunate part of the game. Gibson was not the one reported to be injured this week. Clark's injury this week was reportedly due to landing awkwardly so that likely was not a S&C issue either. We are advanced and scientific in our training. The combines/drafts show we are physically developing players at an elite level.

A schedule can play a HUGE role in the final rankings. Sooners are likely overrated at #16. Why? Inexperience at QB, 5 new starters at OL, lost their OC, and their schedule is SO difficult - 6 foes ranked in the top 15. Their D will keep them in games so I can't pick them as most overrated. I don't know ND and FSU thoroughly but these 2 teams seem overrated. ND seems overrated as usual at #7. New transfer QB Leonard has 64% completions and a 145 QBR 2 yrs ago. He's coming off an injury and going to a new team. Maybe the HC and D can uplift them. ND gets FSU at home and 8 fairly easy games. Luck of the Irish there so I can't pick them as most overrated. To answer the questions....FSU is my pick for the most overrated at #10. Why? I don't believe in DJ at QB (career 60% completions, a 145 QBR last year and now on his 3rd new team). Their schedule seems just tough enough to cause them problems. Maybe their HC and athletes on D prevent a drop-off but I believe FSU is overrated. An aside, some of these ranked teams likely benefit from their easier schedules. Penn St, MO, Utes, AZ, NCST, KS and Iowa seem to have more favorable schedules than most teams.

Good for Coburn. Coburn had 8 tackles last season. In 2023, 6th rd Coburn was waived by KC then picked up and waived by Denver then picked up midseason by KC again. TN claimed him off KC practice squad in Dec 2023. Hope he sticks.

ND and TX both seem to be ALL-IN on Faraimo. If the choice comes down to ND or TX, Faraimo arguably has earlier playing time at Texas. ND has more young, good LBs (5) than TX (2-3). Hill could go pro early. Gullette could develop into an Edge. Gullette is also getting some run at RB in case of an emergency. LBs Lefau and/or Smith may not play the exact same position as Faraimo. Hook Em Coach Nansen!

Another really good 3rd and Longhorn. To all involved in the show, Hook Em! Tre Wisner did a fantastic job. Excited for him and us this season.

11 years as a mechanical (project) engineer at an aerospace company, that's impressive. Stay positive. This is an opportunity to find something new and appealing. Best wishes to you.

Right. I read this type of injury was uncommon. May happen in contact football hits and car injuries to the knee with the dash. Just passing along what I read so you can see. Post See new posts Conversation Anwar Richardson @AnwarRichardson Follow I just learned Texas running back CJ Baxter is expected to miss the season after tearing his LCL/PCL during practice on Tuesday. Baxter's injury will require surgery and the recovery time is between six to nine months. https://x.com/AnwarRichardson/status/1821246784473329855/photo/1

Jaydon Blue as a junior in HS.....227 carries for 2,155 yds. 9.5 ypc. That was a good season. Year 3 in the TX program. Blue is bigger, stronger and still very fast. Agree, Blue is capable of inside zone....and more. Must protect the QB and the ball. Then Sark will feed Blue the ball. We still need to be wise and limit his touches in some games if others can step up. Blue is capable of having 1,800+ all purpose yards. Such a weapon in space as a running back and out of the backfield in the passing game. HOOK EM BLUE!

I read a report saying it was a LCL/PCL injury that would require surgery. Out for the season. 6-9 months recovery. Did not read it was a MCL injury. I feel ill. Hate this for Baxter.

UGA OL TOP TARGETS - (3?) Aug 17 is the reported commitment date for 5* OT David Sanders Jr (NC). Finalist TN, OHST, UGA and NEB. 4* OT Goodman (NJ) has yet to commit. Took OVs to Penn St, UGA, Bama, Auby, and USC. Speculated as a Penn St lean. 6-7 360 Brooks took OVs to UGA, TX, IA and USC. Hoping the upcoming planned move to GA is related to either not going to pick Iowa or a GA matter unrelated to UGA. But I have the same concern as you ACEHORN23. June CBs and RPMs have all been for GA. 2025 UGA OL CLASS - 4 commits so far UGA recently got (Aug 2 commit) 6-7 360 Juan Gaston (GA). Similar size as Brooks. Hopefully this development helps TX but I haven't read it helps TX.

Thx for the update Blake. Right, no surprise to Texas fans. He just looked like a good future NFL WR at Texas. Then had an great NFL combine. Glad to read he is already a co-starter.

Agreed. Bolden is listed at 5-8 160, similar but not the same. 5-8 165 at combine Tank ran a 4.49 40. Bolden may be in that vicinity in the 40. Highly doubt Bolden can run as fast as Tony Jones.

Well don't look at game 2 and game 7 because you might sh!t your pants and throw up on yourself. Yes, the game will be a good early litmus test for our D. Colorado St has a future NFL player at WR. But they do not have 20+ future NFL players like we do.
