Mendoza leads off the game by flying out to center. A defensive swing by Mendoza leads to the first out.

Probably wouldn't be as much of an issue if he hadn't been pulled for a mistake running the bases in Fayetteville that resulted in a double play.

Schloss has called it an "internal" issue that resulted in Gasparino's yanking on Sunday. Read into that what you will.

Interesting that Will Gasparino is the odd man out. He was pulled late in Sunday's loss to Florida.

Max is back!

Lineup hasn’t been posted yet.

The first game of a three-game series in Norman will start at 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network+. Texas needs one win to share the SEC regular-season championship.

Am I wrong for just wanting whatever gets Dirk and the franchise back on the same page?

I’m prepared for the Spurs to fleece Nico in some way, shape or form.

The next step for the historic group of Longhorns who accounted for a school-record 12 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft is coming to terms on their rookie contracts. Six of the 12 rookies were signed, sealed and delivered to their respective franchises as of Sunday. Gunnar Helm was the most recent Texas draftee to sign, agreeing to terms with the Tennessee Titans, although the terms of the fourth-round pick’s (No. 120 overall) deal have yet to be made public. With that said, the following are the reported terms for which the other five former Longhorns have signed. Kelvin Banks Jr., New Orleans Saints (Round 1, No. 9 overall pick): Banks, Jahdae Barron and Matthew Golden stand to make more money than the reported figures if their fifth-year options are picked up. Banks signed a four-year deal with a signing bonus of more than $6.93 million, but the total value of his contract ($27.7 million) is fully guaranteed. Barryn Sorrell, Green Bay Packers (Round 4, No. 124 overall pick): Sorrell’s four-year, $5.14 million deal includes a signing bonus of $941,852. The signing bonus is the only portion of Sorrell’s contract guaranteed to be paid out. Jaydon Blue, Dallas Cowboys (Round 5, No. 149 overall pick): Blue’s deal is for four years with a total value of $4.63 million. His signing bonus ($427,068) is the only guaranteed portion of the contract. Hayden Conner, Arizona Cardinals (Round 6, No. 211 overall pick): Conner’s signing bonus ($174,280) is the only guaranteed money headed his way on the four-year, $4.37 million deal he signed. Quinn Ewers, Miami Dolphins (Round 7, No. 231 overall pick): Ewers signed a four-year deal worth $4.33 million. The only guaranteed money Ewers has coming to him is his signing bonus ($131,576). The five Texas products have signed NFL rookie contracts worth $46,206,022. Of that money, $27,406,022 is fully guaranteed, with $8,607,588 in signing bonuses. The projected contract values based on the rookie wage scale, which changes every year based on the salary cap increasing or decreasing, aren’t far off from the money for which the remaining draftees will sign. The biggest issues preventing rookie contracts from getting done include language (some teams will look to put various classes in the contract that protect them from shelling out money they don’t believe they should be on the hook for) and when certain portions of the guaranteed money will be paid out. According to Spotrac, the following dollar figures are the total value of the contracts that the seven (including Helm) remaining Longhorns are projected to earn: Jahdae Barron, Denver Broncos (Round 1, No. 20 overall pick): $18,048,198 Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers (Round 1, No. 23 overall pick): $17,551,274 Alfred Collins, San Francisco 49ers (Round 2, No. 43 overall pick): $10,296,326 Andrew Mukuba Philadelphia Eagles (Round 2, No. 64 overall pick): $7,155,826 Vernon Broughton, New Orleans Saints (Round 3, No. 71 overall pick): $6,634,052 Gunnar Helm, Tennessee Titans (Round 4, No. 120 overall pick): $5,171,100 Cameron Williams, Philadelphia Eagles (Round 6, No. 207 overall pick): $4,401,198 When the remaining unsigned contracts are official, the Texas draft class will be worth an estimated $115,463,996.
