  1. We’re down to 90 days until Texas football, which means today we’re looking at the best Longhorns to ever wear No. 90. This is one of the better numbers in the countdown, especially if you love defensive linemen. Rodrique Wright was a massive piece of the 2005 national championship team and finished his Texas career with 227 tackles, 42 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. Add in a consensus All-American honor, a Lombardi Award finalist nod and three All-Big 12 selections, and his résumé is hard to beat. Malcom Brown's 2014 season was one of the best by a Texas defensive tackle. He finished his career with 165 tackles, 29 TFL and 8.5 sacks, was a consensus first-team All-American, an Outland Trophy finalist, a Nagurski Trophy finalist and eventually became a first-round NFL Draft pick. Byron Murphy II's peak was ridiculous. In 2023, he was the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year, a second-team All-American and first-team All-Big 12 selection. He finished his Texas career with 70 tackles, 15 TFL and eight sacks, then went No. 16 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. The current No. 90 is DL Josaiah Sharma.
  2. Texas -340 Oregon +250
  3. 3. UNC 2nd baseman is just so damn good defensively. I’d take him on my team any day of the week. I love his game.
  4. 1. Can’t believe Miss State found a way to lose that game after being that has to be frustrating. I just don’t like Georgia. At all. 2. North Carolina HAS to be better with RISP. This game should be blown wide open. They’ve struggled in both games. Tar Heels should be up by at least five or six. If that’s not fixed very quickly, the Trojans will be heading to Omaha.
  5. As the countdown rolls on, we’ve reached a number that doesn’t have a long list of Texas legends attached to it, but it does feature several players who made meaningful contributions during their time in Austin. Kheeston Randall gets the top spot, in my opinion. Randall started 35 games during his Texas career and finished with 98 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, four sacks and 25 quarterback pressures. He earned All-Big 12 honors in 2011 and was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He was a steady presence on the defensive front during a transitional era for the program. Ethan Burke played in 51 games, recorded 17 starts and earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honors in 2023. His 2024 season was arguably his most complete, highlighted by nine tackles for loss, an interception returned for a touchdown, four pass breakups and a blocked kick. Bryce Cottrell rounds out the list. While he wasn’t a full-time starter, he was a reliable contributor across four seasons, finishing with 53 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and three pass breakups. Any older No. 91s you’d put into the discussion?
  6. About to land at DFW in like 5 min!
  7. The problem with baseball portal recruiting is very few are in the know. Most throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks (see: Samford INF visiting, Watters being all Ga Tech). The best part of baseball season being over is the reporters pretending to know baseball can stop playing like they know for awhile and we don’t have to see it. If you’re wanting legitimate Texas insider information, there’s two people I’d trust. One is typing this message as you’re reading it. The other is Zachary Symm. I normally wouldn’t post a competitor on here, but I think he does an outstanding job covering baseball and I know he’s connected. So a hat tip from me. If it’s not coming from one of us, I’d be cautious. I’m not trying to say no one else is ever right (nor am I tooting my own horn), but I feel track records speak for themselves.
  8. We continue our countdown of the best Texas Longhorns to wear each jersey number, and today’s number is a lot stronger than some might realize. At No. 93, the clear headliner is T’Vondre Sweat. Sweat put together one of the greatest seasons by a defensive tackle in Texas history in 2023, winning the Outland Trophy, earning unanimous All-American honors and being named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. He played in 62 career games with 18 starts and finished his Texas career with 127 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks and 13 pass breakups. Behind Sweat is Eric Holle, a key part of that loaded 1983 Texas defense. Holle was an All-Southwest Conference selection in 1983, helped Texas finish 11-1 and was later drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 1984 NFL Draft. Steve Llewellyn comes in next after a productive career in the mid-to-late 1980s. Llewellyn finished with 178 career tackles, 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. His best seasons included 64 tackles in 1986, 52 in 1985 and 49 in 1987. And, of course, we have current No. 93, defensive tackle Hero Kanu. Who was the best No. 93 in your opinion and who is your favorite?
  9. Reese needs to get out of her head, especially on off speed. Her defense though is something amazing. Her entire body of work as a catcher is just outstanding. Her pop time just amazes me.
  10. Phenomenal win. Texas is playing loose. Love their body language. Their response to adversity. If they play like that next game, they don’t lose.
  11. As we continue the countdown to kickoff, we've reached one of the more unusual jersey numbers in Texas football history. Some numbers are loaded with All-Americans, national champions and Hall of Famers. Others require a little more digging through the record books. No. 94 falls into the second category. Michael Pollack (1990) Pollack wore No. 94 during the 1990 season and turned in one of the better kicking campaigns in Texas history. That year, he connected on 20 of 25 field-goal attempts, good for 80 percent, while also making all 32 extra-point attempts. His 92 points helped Texas finish 10-2 and capture the Southwest Conference Championship. Current No. 94: Jamarion Carlton The current owner of No. 94 is freshman EDGE Jamarion Carlton. A four-star recruit who enrolled early in the spring of 2026, Carlton arrived on campus after an impressive senior season that included 68 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 11 games. It's far too early to know where Carlton's Texas career will ultimately rank, but he's the next player with an opportunity to add some history to the number.
  12. Everything you say to meeeeeeeee......
  13. Wrong on Souders. There is no visit setup for him.
