Need that SPF 10K, I guess.

I appreciate the shift to a simpler cover, though. I dig it.

They've allegedly boycotted so many covers that I don't know if the DCTF brass is concerned with what Aggie readers think.

Chuck Johnson was a starting offensive tackle on the other side of Stan Thomas for the 1990 "Shock the Nation Tour" team.

Shoutout to the Big Cat, Alfio Randall.

One reason he probably gets overlooked is that he played at Texas at a time when the offense wasn't exactly prolific. Texas produced some of the best defensive players in school history while Terry Tausch was a Longhorn.

Usually, that's the case. When you have players who might be selected in the fourth or fifth round and later, the conversations can become interesting, especially because high schools have considerable leverage.

One thing to keep in mind is that the NIL resources one would assume would be going to portal prospects could be used to get draftable high school signees to campus. Texas having the ability to fight against losing high school prospects to the draft is a big deal.

It’s official: CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The University of Texas Men’s Basketball team will face Duke University in the Dick Vitale Invitational at Charlotte’s Spectrum Center on Tuesday, Nov. 4, ESPN Events in collaboration with the Charlotte Sports Foundation announced Monday. The Dick Vitale Invitational is a new men’s college basketball event that will annually honor Dick Vitale, the Hall of Fame broadcaster and one of the sport’s most iconic voices and ambassadors, who celebrates his 86th birthday today. The contest will mark the 2025-26 season opener for both teams. The game is scheduled to be televised nationally by ESPN, and the tip-off time will be announced at a later date.

Recruiting Geoff Swaim, who has 10 seasons in the NFL under his belt, might be the best contribution Bryan Harsin made to the program during his time on the Texas staff.

I’d love to see LaAllan Clark get that recruitment across the finish line.

The most misused/underutilized Longhorn in my lifetime. We got a taste of what his career would’ve looked like with consistent quarterback play during his freshman season when he was catching passes from Colt.

He wasn’t a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy, but he got my vote.

FWIW, bonus ceiling for players taken in the 11th-20th rounds is $150K. Anything over that counts against a team's bonus pool for the first 10 rounds.

Zaharias, Werchan, Sanders and O'Hara were gone before the start of the season.

My gut tells me Texas would've put up more of a fight to keep him if an upgrade wasn't on the way.

It wouldn't have been better than it was in 2024. The staff almost had to deal with a player revolt heading into the NCAA Tournament.

I'm sure he would, but Galvan and Flores (even though he didn't have a great year) would cost themselves a lot of money by not taking the signing bonus they'd get in the draft. Seniors in the draft have no leverage and sign for peanuts.
