  1. This is correct.
  2. Gerry playing the headline game with folks' emotions today lol
  3. That team is cooked. They have no faith in DJU and it was so clearly evident.
  4. 2025 Ruston (La.) CB Aidan Anding has committed to LSU over Texas and Arkansas. The Tigers retain one of Louisiana's top DBs.
  5. Inching ever so close to football officially being back!
  6. Should be a good one to watch!
  7. That certainly could be the case, I had not heard about that with the UT Club
  8. I finally got wifi so I’m all set, everything after that can take months to get right haha im in no rush
  9. A view of the Longhorn City Limits grounds. Big stage being put up.
  10. The LED Longhorn on the back of the DKR Scoreboard is getting close to being finalized.
  11. A quick recap of what’s going around on campus today. First off, to act as a traffic dude on the morning news from back in the day, campus is a disaster to drive through. (Bad time to move to a spot off of MLK). Students are moving back on campus today and the rest of the week as the first official day of school is set for August 26. The football team will be back on the practice field Friday morning, kicking off around 10:45, but for an unpadded,light walk through ahead of the mock game on Saturday. Again, the mock game will take place at 2:30 Saturday afternoon to resemble game one against Colorado State as closely as possible.
  12. That's a good point too.
  13. Texas added grad transfer RB Velton Gardner out of the transfer portal late Wednesday evening. The former Dallas Skyline prospect has spent five years at the D1 level prior to joining the Texas roster and has over 220 career rushing attempts. While that is not a workload that compares to that of work horses or bell cows, it is enough experience to believe he could carve out a role at some point for the Texas running game. How large of a role you ask? Well, that's a bit of what this article is about. I do think Gardner will see the field in 2024, Texas would not have taken if they had no plan to use him. But it will certainly take some time to see him on the field. Real quick, a look at his career usage. Gardner spent 2019-21 at Kansas, then 2022 and 2023 at SMU before entering the portal as a grad transfer. In 2023, Gardner saw just 67 snaps with the Mustangs where he had just 32 rushing attempts. However, he did force seven missed tackles in those limited touches and found the end zone once. Over half of Gardner's rush attempts a year ago were in between the guards, so despite the smaller stature, he does have the ability to run inside the tackles and be effective. In 2022, almost 44% of Gardner's rush attempts were in between the guards as well. So it is not a limitation. *** My expectation for Gardner this fall includes some mop up duty late in games. Of course, getting him up to speed with the playbook is of the utmost importance at the moment, but when it comes to those final 10:00 minutes or so against teams like Colorado State and ULM, Texas would be best served if Jerrick Gibson was not the back seeing unnecessary touches. Even if needing the experience, Gibson is going to play a vital part of the Longhorn rushing game in 2024 and keeping him healthy and out of risk of unnecessary touches would be where my brain goes. Insert Gardner. Those final minutes when a game is out of hand is exactly the situation he was brought in for in my eyes. Of course, Texas will also deploy some Colin Page, who has been getting some run with the 2's this fall camp. The duo should be deployed to preserve Wisner, Gibson and Blue. Entering SEC play, and once the playbook has been absorbed, then I could see a larger role becoming part of the plan for Gardner. Ultimately, the depth and experience added are the most important part of this addition and Texas did a fine job of roster management to ensure there would be a spot available for him.
  14. As it should be. Never move it.
  15. It is official. The five-star picks Oklahoma. Texas turns all attention to Nick Brooks who decides this Friday.
  16. Miss State only having six is crazy.
  17. The Reese's Senior Bowl has announced 16 Longhorns have been added to its 2025 Bowl and Draft watch list. Those Longhorns include: QB Quinn Ewers WR Silas Bolden WR Isaiah Bond TE Gunnar Helm LT Kelvin Banks Jr. LG Hayden Conner C Jake Majors DL Vernon Broughton DL Alfred Collins DL Jermayne Lole EDGE Trey Moore EDGE Barryn Sorrell LB David Gbenda DB Jahdae Barron DB Andrew Mukuba PK Bert Auburn Here is the count for the remainder of the SEC programs and how they stack up. Alabama: 19 Arkansas: 13 Auburn: 15 Florida: 16 Georgia: 20 Kentucky: 13 LSU: 18 Miss State: 6 Missouri: 12 Oklahoma: 11 Ole Miss: 21 South Carolina: 16 Tennessee: 9 Texas: 16 Texas A&M: 20 Vanderbilt: 7
