I'm old school. I rightly consider the Land Thieves, Sheep Humpers and Piggies as TX rivals. All Longhorns should. Besides these 3 classic rivalries.... I see 3 teams as more likely to become our next big rivalry.... Alabama - TX is 7-2-1 vs Bama all-time. Bama is an elite Blue Blood but has struggled vs Texas and their fans don't like hearing about it. Unfortunately, Bama is 2-1 recently. Bama injured Colt and as a result we lost the 2009 NC. Mack and TX were never the same after that loss. Bama has taken numerous top TX recruits that we needed since that NC loss. Our recent hard fought 1-1 home-away series had the excitement and intensity of a rivalry game. TX fans recognized annoying Bama and Saban were getting the best of us. Bama is now coached by DeBoer (HC record 104-12) who beat us twice including most recently a CFP semifinal. Ewers vs Milroe (TX recruit) for Heisman and NFL draft. With the new SEC CG rules, TX could meet Bama in the upcoming SEC CG and possibly the CFP. Georgia - TX is 4-1 vs Georgia all-time. TX physically beat up on Georgia in winning the 2018 Sugar Bowl but Georgia fans shrugged it off and later won back-to-back NCs. Way back, TX lost a heartbreaker to Georgia in the 1984 Cotton Bowl on a muffed punt in the swirling wind late in the game which cost us a damn NC. Never should have attempted to catch the punt. Georgia is the arguably the SEC top dog this year. TX hosts GA this year. We likely battle for elite recruits more than usual with our move to the SEC. Ewers vs Beck for Heisman and NFL draft. TX could face off with Georgia again in the upcoming SEC CG and possibly the CFP. Georgia is the odds on favorite to be our next big rivalry imo. And don't forget Bevo hates bulldog UGA. LSU - TX is 9-7-1 vs LSU all-time. TX won the last meeting 35-20 in the 2003 Cotton Bowl in big part thanks to Roy Williams. TX and LSU share a border and battled for decades for countless athletic recruits. Coach Kelly is a fake; Sark is genuine like all good Texans. Bo Davis has coached both sides and recruited poorly while at Texas imo. We are now battling Bo and his TX development reputation for IDL Brown and Williams. With the new SEC CG rules, TX could meet LSU in the upcoming SEC CG and possibly the CFP. A tiger is more of a threat to Bevo than UGA. Dark horse teams seem to be Ole Miss (Kiffen/Sark history), MO (Big 12 history), TN (Right to claim UT and OU QB HC) and maybe Florida if they upset us and get back on track soon which seems doubtful. This season should help determine who will emerge as our next big rivalry. We've got to beat Georgia at least once this year to get on their radar. We have more history with Bama/DeBoer than Georgia/Smart. I will be a bit of a contrarian and say the annoying Alabama will be our next big rivalry. But I hope it is LSU because I really enjoy good creole and cajun food.

Ha. Hope Dabo continues his transfer portal stubborn foolishness.

Thanks for the info. Wow, 10.45 100M, 10.53 100M (3rd) and 20.71 200M (2nd) Elite speed, 6-1 with length at 190 as a Jr. Explosive highlights. No surprise Hines has a great offer list. Underrated as a prospect by 247, ON3, Rivals and ESPN. Rare combo of measurables. Has upside at WR and DB. Could be fantastic on TX special teams. Hope TX has room and tries to take Hines as a WR/ATH since he may prefer WR.

Today read Zion Williams predicted to LSU at 60% by Wiltfong and 70% by Embody (LSU) and Dixon (LSU).

Brandon Brown picked to sign with LSU at 60% by LSU insider Billy Embody. Hopefully Brown takes his OV to Texas so we can counter punch. NT and DT recruiting is an ongoing concern. Feel better about Edge position room and Edge recruiting.

How many Edge players in the 2025 class including Lance Jackson? Any thoughts on our chances with Jayvion Hilson, Hayden Lowe, Smith Orogbo, Marco Jones and Damien Shanklin? Thx! @Gerry Hamilton

Akana arrived at Texas under 200lbs! That's way too light for SEC LB and Edge. He needed more than 1 year of development. Now listed at 6-4 215lbs. Akana flashed quickness off the edge in the '24 spring game. Didn't see him play any LB in '24 spring game. Definitely buried on the depth chart. Sorrell, Burke, Finkley, Vasek, Moore and Simmons are likely playing more snaps than Akana this season. Akana might play pass rush snaps on D in year 3.

Good. TWITTER said 161 bad calls in 10 games, including the lowest rated game. How is that possible in 10 games? I'm ready for tested, reliable and proven technology to set the strike zone, call balls and call strikes. It works quickly and accurately. Too many mised calls have been documented over the years.

6-2, ran 10.57 100M and plans to be an EE. Any chance TX recruits to flip the committed Currie?

Pursue Terry as an ATH and let him start out at WR because that is what he prefers. Sort it out after he gets to campus.

Moore, Johnson and Ffrench. Do you like my guess Gerry?

Ha, CLASSIC Ags!

While elite WR Dakorien Moore can make plays from any WR position, is Moore viewed more as an X, slot or Z by Texas?

Saw we got Jackson Christian. Anybody, how many Hi's or commits yet to be named in total? Thanks for the fantastic coverage and insights Gerry.
