Played last year against ULM and UTSA! (WR Rett Andersen for those unaware)

Sweet pic!

This morning I’ve been doing research on the betting side of things for Texas/Ohio State. Here are the betting statistics for the big season opener: - The public sides with the Horns on both the spread (65% of the money) and outright winner (a whopping 96% of the money). - The game is the most bet, by total money wagered, for all Week 1 games. - The matchup is the second most bet game, by number of bets, for Week 1, falling behind Alabama/FSU. - Both teams are the betting favorites (+550) to win the CFP. 19.5% of the total money is on Texas to win it all, while 8.7% is on Ohio State. - The Longhorns are responsible for 12.5% of all tickets to win the CFP, compared to 9.2% for the Buckeyes. - The largest bet on Texas to win the CFP is currently $300,000, which would pay $1.5 million. This is also the largest reported bet for a team to win the CFP, period.

"There's nobody who's able to cut like Bijan in the NFL," Barkley said for the NFL Top 100 countdown. "There's not. You can go argue with your mom about that, I'll be honest. Trust me -- I love myself and I think I have great cuts, and there's nobody. The way he's able to -- his vision, his agility and he can catch the ball, too. So it's gonna get scary for a lot of people as he continues to figure it out."

Also a shoutout to Edwin Freeman, the linebacker out of Arlington Bowie. He was one of my favorite recruits to cover.

Gotta mention this guy when talking 35 at Texas…even if it is basketball!

We are down to just 35 days before the season opener in Columbus. Which Texas player that donned No. 35 over the years is your favorite? An option today includes… Jim Bertelsen Bertelsen was a standout tailback during the wishbone era from 1969 to 1971. He played a key role in Texas’ success, including the 1969 and 1970 national championships, rushing for 2,510 yards and 33 touchdowns over his college career. Known for his speed and versatility, he was a two-time All-Southwest Conference selection and later played in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams.

Never heard of the second one, but I enjoy the other three… I’ll have to check that out.

Oh I disagree with a lot he says, including his rankings. I was just pointing out that the graphic title is misleading in the sense of he personally doesn’t necessarily think Heupel is better than Smart or Sark, for example.

That graphic is misleading. His rankings aren’t “the top coaches in college football”. They are coaches vs expectations rankings.

There’s no way I can post the thing here, but this is worth a read. From Bill Connelly: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45807129/2025-sec-college-football-projections-preview

Checking this and many more recommendations y’all made out tonight!

Yes. It's for next year's draft. Draft eligible only.

Yep! For those who don't wanna read the whole thing... Thieneman, Michael Taaffe (Texas) and other very talented safeties would be candidates for the top spot in most years, but Downs is a rare prospect holding it down as the top safety and No. 1 overall player in the class.

Came across this on ESPN this morning: The article goes on to say that Hill has a chance to be a top five pick in the next draft. Article is here: https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/45772397/2026-nfl-draft-top-prospects-quarterback-edge-rusher-cornerback

Join us for Coffee and Football beginning around 8:15 AM, as we take your questions and discuss the latest on the Longhorns.

We are now 36 days away from the Longhorns taking on the Buckeyes in Columbus for the season opener. Who is your favorite Texas player to wear No. 36? Some options today include... William Graham Unfortunately I can not find a picture of William Graham, William Graham played as a defensive back for the Texas Longhorns from 1979 to 1981. In 1980, he recorded four interceptions in 11 games. In 1981, he had seven interceptions in 11 games, tying the school record, leading the Southwest Conference, and ranking third nationally. His 11 career interceptions placed him fourth all-time at Texas. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round of the 1982 NFL Draft. Lamaar Houston We will cheat a little bit on this one, as he also wore 33, but so we can have a pic today...

Mike Norvell's buyout at Florida State is currently $63.8 million if the university were to terminate his contract before its expiration in 2031.

OnTexas

I use the term top ten very loosely. Obviously +2800 is way down the list, especially when you got 4 with +1000 or less.

Texas brought him in for a visit. Good pickup for FSU.... I think.
