Losing Spencer hurts, but I don't think it has to cripple the team's postseason chances. There just isn't any margin for error.

Tuesdays matter, especially since those outings can get Flores ready for the postseason.

I don't think they'd do that to either of them right now. The more likely scenario is Bing/Grubbs on Sunday, with Flores taking over the Tuesday role.

It official. Jared Spencer will miss the rest of the season.

Not a surprise:

Someone will give up way too much to move up to get him. That's not a knock on Sanders, but further shows that NFL teams don't know what they're doing at quarterback. They're routinely overdrafted.

We just wrapped up Jim Schlossngale's media availability ahead of tomorrow's opening game of a three-game home series between No. 1 Texas and Texas A&M. Here are a few key things to file away: — Jared Spencer is returning from Houston after undergoing further evaluation for the arm injury he suffered in last Thursday's win over Auburn. Spencer will speak with his family before he decides what to do next, which includes surgery. As Blake Munroe reported this morning, Ruger Riojas will start the Friday game against the Aggies, followed by Luke Harrison on Saturday. (Update: Late Thursday afternoon, the program confirmed that Spencer has a shoulder injury that will force him to miss the rest of the 2025 season.) — Jonah Williams left Tuesday's road win over Texas State with a leg injury. Schloss said Williams was feeling "pretty good" today. They won't push him in practice today to help him continue his recovery. Williams' availability for the A&M series is TBD. — Ethan Mendoza isn't ready to return to second base yet. Schloss said Mendoza will remain in the DH spot in the lineup. It'll either be Jayden Duplantier or Adrian Rodriguez manning second base until Medoza is ready to return to his full-time role. ICYMI, Blake published insider notes on the baseball team Thursday morning, including what the weekend rotation might look like without Spencer.

That can happen when you're throwing guys who haven't pitched much this season.

University of Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian has agreed to speak to the Touchdown Club of Houston. He will speak and take questions at noon, Mon., April 28, at the Bayou City Event Center. Tickets are $50 each. Tables are $500 (regular), $750 (bronze), $1,000 (silver), $1,500 (gold) and $2,500 (platinum). All tables are 10 seats each.

The struggle is real between Jon Gruden and boxes.
