Love that Syracuse beat Clemson by 13pts and Johntay Cook led all receivers on the day with 6 catches for 113yds. Hated to see JC fall so fast with multiple bad choices last year. Great to see him having success.

In addition to Scotland being one of our favorite places to visit, the other ‘must visit’ trip I highly recommend is Switzerland. We’ve taken the family twice now in the past few yrs. Couldn’t get enough of it the first time. So many incredible places (Lake Lucerne, Zurich, Bern, etc) but our absolute favorite is the slow pace chilled out simplicity of Innerlaken with small town atmosphere, great food, bright green rivers, paragliding down to the park, all surrounded by the Swiss Alps. Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back again.

We rented a car this summer with Edinburgh as home base. The Harry Potter tour is great, even for adults. A must is driving from Edinburgh to St Andrews then do the half-day tour, starting at the infamous 18th hole. Chocolate making tour in Edinburgh was excellent. So was the High-end Whiskey tasting tour. You can book them through AirBnB ‘Experiences’. Pretty cool feature we started using on travel the past couple years.

Texas 62 SHSU 3 Arch goes 24-32 for 340 yds and 5 TDs plus 1 rushing TD. Livingstone, Wingo and Endries all have great games. James Simon has 15 rushes for 120 yds and his first TD Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Texas looking natty strong against a solid TCu team. 🧡🐂🤘🏼

With Sam Houston game coming up then 2-weeks before Florida, that gives our boys 3 weeks to turn things around. The optimist in me wants to believe Option 3 has 50% chance, given number of high character guys in the team. Hoping Sark has light switch moment over next several weeks and gets his mojo.

Me too. 🧡🐂🤘🏼

All great turnaround stories include big adversity and opportunity to respond / galvanize.

As discouraged as I am as a diehard fan, I’m just an alumni, a spectator, a class of 92 bleeding orange, love my horns….fan. There are 85 young men wearing burnt orange each Saturday this fall, who’ve dreamed since they were kids of winning at the highest level. For most of them, winning probably came easy. They were superior athletes to the competition from grade school through their high school years. Now, they’ve grinded all offseason in preparation for having a ‘magical’ fall, all of us just taking for granted we’ll be going back to the playoffs. But that isn’t how it works. There are no guarantees and it takes more than talent to win. This season seems like it could go in one of three directions: 1) I hope this doesn’t become a repeat of 2010 or 2021 where we go on a death spiral losing streak on way to a 6-6 season 2) Offense is up/down all year but defense wins several close games on way to 8-4. Feels like more of the same. Sark stays stubborn and digs in, unwilling to make changes. 3) Over the next several weeks, this team (including coaches) galvanizes, comes together, Arch gets surrounded with fresh voices and everyone rediscovers the passion and fun in the game. They grow through the adversity, come together and go in a magical run to the playoffs. i sure hope for Option 3. Would make for a great turnaround story. Hook em! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Cade Klubnik has worse stats through three games in 2025 than prior 2 years starting. S much for NC and Heisman run. Clemson may already be eliminated from playoffs, given Miami, Georgia Tech and FSU. crazy!! Loving it!! Good to see Blake Gideon’s defense look so fired up.

Thanks @Sarah O!!!

Gerry and CJ, Curious to get your thoughts on possible visit this fall / potential flip with Kendall Guervill, especially if Florida goes on losing streak over the next month. If it’s already been answered, I’ve been completely disconnected the past couple weeks due to recent surgery. thanks! Hook em!! 🤘🏼🐂🧡

Quinn’s first year starting had some pretty ugly games. He improved a lot year 2 then seemed to regress final year (likely due to injuries). Arch gonna be fine.

Actually your stats do lie. We ran for 155 yards and averaged 4.8 ypc. Not great but in most games, I’ll take 5 ypc.

Great perspectives Jeff. My questions / concerns are: 1) OL and DL through two games look extremely undisciplined with all the stupid penalties. Gotta clean up quickly. Collin Simmons, wtf with the stupid penalties through 2 weeks? 2) Arch appears to have regressed in past 12 months on fundamentals/ mechanics. What is AJ Milwee teaching our QBs? Concerningvtrend with the way Quinn seemed to regress his final year? Way too many examples through 2 games where Arch not seeing wide open receivers down field, poor mechanics, sloppy footwork. 3) Wide receivers dropping very catchable balls (Wingo drop inexcusable) and holding call on Livingstone was crushing in the moment. Those kill momentum. 4) DBs getting burned too often. With a better QB, several additional TDs get scored against us today. 5) Jerrick Gibson gonna be sitting a lot this year if he can’t hold the f’ing ball. Like Christian Clark A LOT. So good to see Baxter building momentum. Feels like our running game could be a real strength this season. 6) Punting seemed off today compared to last week. 7) I heard Sark talk this week about how much he loves blocked punts but good Lord, that is a nut crushing stupid penalty on 4th down to get roughing the punter. Same as a turnover but it’s self inflicted to give free 1st down. 8. We won by 30+ but for much of the game, it didn’t feel good. Very sloppy, erratic. We easily could lose upcoming games against OU, Georgia, A&M, staring at 8-4 if we don’t make big strides in lots of areas quickly. The good news is lots of good tape to highlight areas to improve. No part of the team should be overconfident. Long season. Lots of time to improve, just cannot afford to lose games we’re favored. Hook em! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Good grief, some of these doom and gloom posts through first half of the season opener against defending national champions are ridiculous. This may be the best team we’ll play all season (on the road). Texas will improve throughout the season as they gain experience. We’re down by 1 TD and will be fun to watch adjustments in second half. Let’s go Arch!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

great watch this week on LHN. Love J Charles! https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/video/849743 Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Agree. This was a nice post. Much needed moment of laughter. Too funny.

Agree

I hope we stick to home and home games against the top 4 programs in Big 10 (OSU, Mich, Oregon, PennSt) plus ND. Those matchups are epic.

I love how proactive CDC and Sark were to lock in a premier non-conf game annually for next 5 yrs, getting ahead of the awesome news from Sankey re: 9 conf game schedule starting next season. College football has never been better imo. 2025 - Ohio St @OSU 2026 - Ohio St. @ Texas 2027 - Michigan @ Texas 2028 - Notre Dame @ ND 2029 - Notre Dame @ Texas Need to drop the home and home with ASU 2032 / 2033 imho. No upside to that game. Keep it with top programs from Big 10. Would love to see home and home games against Penn State and Oregon starting 2030. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Looks good tonight.,,scored TD, speed translating well. Showed a great block in backfield

It’s crazy to think about life before OTF. We’re spoiled now. 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Back in early February, I suggested it would have been fun to have a contest, guessing what the total OTF subscriber count would be on YouTube at the time of kickoff against Ohio State nearly 7 months later. OTF had just passed the 70k subscribers mark at that time. My guess was 135k subscribers by kickoff on August 30th (nearly doubling your total and declaring total Longhorn World Domination, lol). I may have been off by a bit but I'm guessing OTF hits the 135k very soon. Far and away the best video broadcasting coverage for Horns Nation!! Would have been fun to have a competition, especially if 4 Texas A&M tickets had been part of the prize for the winner, lol. Anything for free tickets!!! Excited for the season to get started. Grateful for OTF and the incredible team Bobby has assembled, the dream team including Gerry, CJ, Jeff, Blake, Rod and others. Keep up the great work!! Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

@Immamac, I’d like to make similar change to my profile. Wil you update my display name to: Kevin C ? Thanks!
