    Horns247 members are understandably disappointed by the news but classy in their appreciation for Jeff and all he’s contributed. Thought it was great to see 247 members also show love on their board for @Bobby Burton and appreciation for what OTF has quickly become over the past 13 months. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

    I hope the Buckeyes win selfishly as a Longhorn fan. Makes our loss in semi finals slightly less painful but more importantly, it would make game 1 next season even more dramatic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see UT and OSU to likely be #1 v #2 pre-season plus it would be great to beat defending national champs to start next season. Hook em!!

    @Bobby Burton I love the rockstar team you’ve assembled and infectious positive culture fostered at OTF with @Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel @Blake Munroe @Rod Babers plus all the other regulars and guests each week. I try to catch as much as possible each day on OTF as the other sites seem to be a distant second. If Jeff H ends up joining OTF, that would be awesome and almost seems unfair to IT, OB and others as you keep taking OTF to the next level month after month. Hook em and keep up the great work. You make being a DieHard Longhorn fan so much fun. 🤘🏼🐂🧡

    I thought I heard Sark on record this past year supporting the idea of having only one transfer portal window and make it in the spring. Whether it’s the first 10 days of Jan (before spring semester starts) or later in the spring, it makes sense to only have one transfer window per year. What other schedule changes are coming? I liked Klatt’s recommendation this week to move up the college football schedule so that the entire month of December was college playoffs then end with national championship on NewYears Day. That idea would align well with this new transfer portal schedule occurring Jan 2 - 12.

    Will be interesting to see if this gets passed and what other rules get modified this spring. https://apple.news/AIUbH7nbqR0W0ksQ0n0eZFA

    I think I agree with you. We play 15 games in Jan/Feb. 11 of these games are against ranked teams. We need to win all 4 games against unranked SEC opponents and at least 4 of the 11 other games against ranked teams for UT to have anything that feels positive this season. Even that would mean 8-7 over the 2 month stretch.

    Agree. I’ve read speculation that if RT can at least make the NCAA tournament as a 8-9 seed, he likely gets another year. Why? It’s clear watching the team, we need upgrade in head coach and staff (recruiting, portal, scheme, player development, etc) CDC pulled the trigger last summer in baseball and I hope this spring it’s time for big upgrade in men’s basketball.

    Sark building his legacy at UT to be on our Mount Rushmore of greatest coaches ever with Arch on deck and #1 ranked class. Next several years look to be special. Jimmy Sexton is sure to leverage this year’s result plus NFL threat into some new upgrades for Sark (eg additional investments into expanded staff, etc) plus new perks in his package (eg new vacation homes in Turks and Telluride) plus more cash guaranteed on his contract after 2 semi-final appearances. As others have said, Sark has control over every aspect of his horns. I hope he’s at UT at least another 3 years. Hook em!!

    Nate Oats would be a home run hire if CDC could make it happen. Who else is likely to be on CDC’s short list? Ridiculous that the SEC is so loaded with 10 ranked teams and UT not even in the Top25. Longhorns appear to be in bottom 4 of SEC. Crazy. Salt in the would is seeing Barnes have such great success at the other UT. Happy for him. Great coach who builds strong sustaining programs. It’s year 2 under RT and we seem to be regressing. In any other major sport this would be automatic time for major upgrade at end of this year by CDC.

    Well said. Think about what this team would have looked like against Georgia with a healthy CJ Baxter. Losing CJ for the season was a massive blow yet incredibly impressive what TW and JB have accomplished in the backfield. Sark has had to modify ‘the script’ many times without having a strong downhill running attack. That’s had some impact on the team reaching potential with consistent offense IMHO

    Is the Rodney Terry era gonna end after 2yrs? It’s possible we go winless in January with the crazy conf schedule we have this month.

    It’s fun to see a Cinderella Story during each March Madness run, but in football, it’s great to have 4 True Blue Bloods at our first ever “Final 4” of the playoffs, especially when the Longhorn are 1 of the 4 with the longest odds of pulling off the upset. All 4 teams lived up to their pre-season hype. Any of the four can win it all. Hook em!! https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2024-08-12/ap-top-25-rankings-georgia-ohio-state-and-oregon-lead-preseason-poll?amp

    Quinn playing big in clutch moments, showing he doesn’t get rattled and puts the ball in spots with pinpoint accuracy. I hope he enjoys a nice career in NFL after getting us two more wins! Hook em!!
  14. Kevin C
    Agree. That was a critical no-call of obvious inappropriate interference when pulling across the goal line for TD in OT..
  15. Kevin C
    Exactly!!! Hook em’. It’s been a long drought with mediocre coaching since 2010. I’ll take this all day long!! I bet Oregon wishes they were in our shoes right now. So does Bama and Michigan and about 110 other universities. Enjoy the moment instead of writing ‘hate pieces’.

    Incredible year for the Horns! Big congrats to Colin Simmons!
  17. Kevin C
    Great article. Worthy landed in the perfect situation and is on a great trajectory. Hook em!!

    Quinn and the offense continue the trend of improving good health so we can be at full strength and beginning to peak at right time of year. Defense got the wake up call they needed with Cade ripping apart our secondary. We will run 250 yds and throw for 250 yds while scoring 42 points and holding ASU to 20 points on 140 yds rushing and 90 yds passing.
  19. Kevin C
    Agree. Had the same feeling after I posted.

    It’s basically a pick em in either scenario. In this model, Texas would be 1.5pt favorite against Oregon and a 1.5pt dog against the Buckeyes. https://www.on3.com/pro/news/college-football-playoff-odds-early-point-spreads-released-on-potential-cfp-semifinal-matchups/

    Klatt’s podcast yesterday talked about his twitter exchange with Kiffin. Pretty funny. Makes a good point re: first round blowouts in NFL wildcard round as well. In summary: 1) College Football has never been better and more fun to watch, 2) Home field advantage is real, 3) Lots of things that can still be tweaked to make college football and playoffs even better (eg. seeding based on best teams, more home playoff games, portal schedule moved to the spring, etc), 4) More teams have a shot at gettting into national championship which has made regular season more interesting, 5) Lots to learn from the NFL 6) Even with the opportunity to improve college football further, enjoy what’s happening now. First year. Let it play out. It’s awesome!

    Good question. Good to see Alfred Collins and Michael Taaffe get some love with recognition on second team AP All American.
  23. Kevin C
    By comparison to the 2 longhorns on first team and 3 longhorns who made second team for a total of 5 longhorns making AP All-American first two teams, here are a few other teams of note: Alabama - 0 players on first team and 2 players on second team Georgia - 0 players on first team and 2 players on second team OU - 0 players on first team and 1 player on second team Texas A&M - 0 players on first and second team Hook em!!

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43005095/travis-hunter-ashton-jeanty-headline-ap-all-america-team Kelvin Banks and Jahdae Barron are 2 of the 6 SEC players to make First Team AP All American. Alfred Collins, Anthony Hill and Michael Taaffe all three made the 2nd Team AP All American. Love seeing that Michael Taaffe got some respect on the AP All American voting. Hook em!!!!
