That is the last time the Big12 had an offensive linemen drafted in the first round from a program other than OU, Texas or TAMU. Outside of those teams, Big12 has had 5 OL drafted in the first round this millennium. We all know the OL draft woes Texas has had- yet Texas has still had more first round OL this Millenium than any current or former Big12 program other than OU or TAMU (3: Kelvin Banks, Leonard Davis, Mike Williams). It's quite clear the NFL doesn't think highly Big12 offensive lines.

Spurning Texas for Texas Tech is literally spurning a HC with pro experience and connections for a HC who’s spent the majority of his career in HS. Short sighted is an extreme euphemism. But it’s honestly a great filter. Guys with a HS/Texas Tech mindset are probably not who we want in our locker room.

Thanks for this, high quality and informative

John Mateer has the most overrated body of work of any college QB. Alabama is this year’s Michigan- overrated. My prediction is Ty Simpson falls flat. Unless he’s a substantial improvement over Milroe in the pass game, Bama’s offense will suffer from no QB run game cheat code. 9-3 is their ceiling imo

Tim Tebow was not a better college QB than Joe Burrow or Cam Newton.

This season is incredibly important. Imo, Sark’s recruiting strategy puts pressure on us to stay consistent while other teams falter. If we win the natty this year that will set us up for a dynastic run

Idk about that. Michigan’s schedule is a pretty big cakewalk outside of OU and tOSU. Zero Athlon preseason top 25 opponents outside of OU and Ohio State, and they have Ohio State at home. If OU wins that game, they have a very good shot at going into RRR undefeated. That would likely make the RRR game a top 10 or even top 5 matchup if Texas takes care of business and other dominoes fall. The back half of OU’s schedule is of course difficult as hell. Conversely, if Michigan beats OU, they have a surprisingly good chance of going undefeated into the Ohio State game, with probably over 50% post-week 2 odds of making the CFP. I can definitely see how it is a pivotal game, given how it will frame every other game for the two teams afterwards.

Texas vs OU is still the a more important game than USC-Illinois. The best outcome for whoever wins the USC-Illinois game is making the CFP as a 12 seed. Whoever wins the Texas/OU game will be in contention for the SEC championship

I guess Tim Tebow wasn’t ready to dominate after sitting behind a guy that didn’t get drafted?

What is the deal exactly with North Shore? Doesn’t seem like it can be coincidence

I think it’s at least -1 of what you’re thinking since Vodney Cleveland’s commitment. I think the total silents out there are closer to 5 total max. Would love to be wrong on that though

From this weekend alone? Does that make 4 or 5 total?

Maybe KJ Edwards will be Mike Elko’s savior when he’s 0-2 vs Texas and trying to pick up his first W in November 2026.

Judge is a different character in the movie

Ah gotcha, my mistake 🤘

That actor is Mike Judge- writer of King of the Hill and UT system alum 🤘

Ah gotcha

OTF is the best Texas sports YT channel/podcast out there bar none. The other two that I listen to frequently are 1. Third & Longhorn, 2. Texas Sports Unfiltered with Brad Kellner and Bucky Godbolt in the morning (I don't like the other TSU segments other than Bucky and BK). T&L do excellent interviews with a broad variety of people involved with Texas sports with a football focus. Probably the best Texas sports longform interview forum, honestly. Their volume isn't high though, one or two episodes per week max I think. Rod Babers is involved with most interviews which is cool crossover with OTF. I think Bucky & BK are highly funny/entertaining, but it is less pure Longhorn focused and most of the episode is just them BSing. I generally just listen in after I've exhausted OTF content or there was a major event in UT sports and I want to hear a funny take. Bucky Godbolt is a former RB coach for UT- he was Ricky Williams' coach. Really funny guy

I love it. It virtually always backfires when Brian Kelley needlessly opens his dumb mouth about things like this.

After ensuring Micah Hudson is the highest paid WR in CFB, Tech’s next priority is to use the rest of their money to construct a state of the art Potemkin Village to convince recruits they actually won’t be spending any of their life in Lubbock, Texas.

Rumor has it Tech is spending their full $20.5 million allotment from the House settlement on Micah Hudson’s chauffeur service

Any time we want to pay a player $1 million post-House, the Texas One Fund should Venmo 1670 OTF OGs $599. All 1670 of us can then Venmo the player $599. Foolproof

Gotta be Lil Jordan. That effort play against OU was epic

Yes, even Cam Newton needed an offensive line. I’m not sure how many pros that O line put out, but I found a publication that rated them a top 5 unit preseason, and Auburn had a 1000 yd back, 800 yd back and ~400 yd back that year, indicating the o line wasn’t a slouch.
