So close. They did make A&M burn through some pitching though!

Told yall they don’t make it to CWS.

I’m not speaking for Bobby, but he pays to advertise his law firm not his politics. He’s not having us read ads to support political measures or candidates. What he does on his personal account on social media is his business.

We still hating on Schloss for not taking the SEC Tournament seriously and “momentum” or…..?

You ain't woofin.

Pitching for HC will be senior Jayden Wywoda. In the Crusaders conference tournament, Wywoda threw 122 pitches that Monday, then followed that up with 74 pitches just two days later. He's durable, that's for sure. He's boasting a 3.76 ERA on the season.

We continue our countdown series, where every day from now until kickoff we take a look back at the Texas team that matches the countdown number. Today, that means the 1928 Texas Longhorns. The 1928 season was one of the most important years in Texas football history, and not just because the Longhorns won the Southwest Conference championship. This was the first Texas team to wear the darker burnt orange uniforms that would eventually become the iconic Texas Orange look fans know today. Before that, the brighter orange jerseys had a tendency to fade badly over time, leading to opposing fans jokingly calling Texas the “yellow bellies.” Head coach Clyde Littlefield wanted a tougher, darker shade that held up better. Texas finished 7-2 overall, won the SWC championship, outscored opponents 122-32, allowed just 32 total points all season, and posted five shutouts in nine games. They also closed the season like champions, shutting out Baylor, TCU and Texas A&M in three straight games to secure the conference crown. And here’s another piece that makes 1928 special: it helped preserve the sound of Texas football history. In May of that year, members of the Longhorn Band and the University Men’s Chorus traveled to San Antonio to make what are considered the earliest known recordings of “The Eyes of Texas” and “Texas Taps,” later known as “Texas Fight.” The songs were pressed onto a Victor 78 rpm record just days after the 25th anniversary of “The Eyes of Texas.” So in a lot of ways, 1928 helped shape both the look and the sound of Texas football. 99 days out.

I'll banish you to OnlyDuckFans.com forever, pal.

We are officially 99 days away from Texas football. That means the countdown to kickoff is on. Every day from now until the season opener, we’ll take a look at some of the best Longhorns to wear the corresponding number. When you talk about No. 99 in Texas history, the conversation starts with Steve “Mongo” McMichael. McMichael was an absolute monster on the Forty Acres. A two-time All-American at Texas, a two-time All-SWC selection, the 1979 team MVP, and later a College Football Hall of Famer and Pro Football Hall of Famer. Tony DeGrate has a very real case to be near the top of this list. He was a consensus All-American in 1984, won the Lombardi Award, was a two-time All-SWC pick and put together one of the most ridiculous defensive seasons in school history. His 1984 season included a Texas single-season record 123 solo tackles. Roy Miller was a force in the middle of that Texas defense in the 2000s. He played in 49 games, finished with 138 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and 44 pressures, earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2008 and was the Defensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl. Keondre Coburn also deserves mention. A multi-year starter, a 51-game Longhorn, second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2022, and one of the key interior defensive linemen as Texas started building back toward being Texas again. Who is your favorite? Who is the best to ever wear it? Ninety-nine days until kickoff. Ninety-nine days until Texas football is back.

Thank you!

We are officially 100 days away from Texas football. Since there obviously isn’t a No. 100 walking around on past Texas rosters or this year’s roster, we’re using today as the official kickoff point for the countdown. Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin counting down from 99 all the way to 0 by taking a look at some of the best and most interesting Longhorns to ever wear the number that matches the day. Some days will be obvious. Some will spark debate. Some will bring back names you haven’t thought about in years. And some will be a chance to learn a little more Texas football history along the way. The season is getting closer. 100 days out. Let the countdown begin. And as we draw closer and closer to the season, I must ask.... what excites you the most about this year? Is there a certain player or position group? Maybe a coach or a certain game?

We are officially 100 days away from Texas Football. So starting today, and every day from here until kickoff, we’re going to take a look back at the Texas team that matches the countdown number. Today, that means the 1927 Texas Longhorns. The 1927 team finished 6-2-1 in Clyde Littlefield’s first season as head coach. Texas outscored opponents 164-73, opened the year with a defense-led 103-12 scoring edge over its first five games, posted three shutouts, and held six of nine opponents to seven points or fewer. There are some pretty cool nuggets with this team, too. 1. Texas shut out a John Heisman-coached team. Rice’s head coach in 1927 was John W. Heisman, and Texas beat Rice 27–0. Heisman retired from coaching after the 1927 season; the trophy that now bears his name was renamed in his honor in 1936. 2. One of Texas’ 1927 All-SWC players helped create Chicago deep-dish pizza. Ike Sewell, Texas’ All-SWC guard, later became a successful Chicago businessman and is credited by Texas Athletics with creating Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. 3. This was right before Texas’ “true burnt orange” uniform history. Texas Athletics notes Sewell later started on the 1928 team that first wore true burnt orange, meaning the 1927 team sits right before that uniform-history milestone. 4. They played in a still-new Memorial Stadium. The stadium had been dedicated on Thanksgiving Day 1924 to honor the 198,520 Texans who fought in World War I and the 5,280 who died. So the 1927 team was playing in the early years of what eventually became DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. 5. The season ended against a monster A&M team. Texas A&M finished 8–0–1, won the SWC, outscored opponents 262–32, and beat Texas 28–7 on Thanksgiving at Kyle Field. The Schedule:

Sorry but I disagree. Texas was so banged up last year that they had no business being in a super regional. Guys were doing everything they could to just play… injured or not. It was a miracle they made it as far as they did.

That Crossland K pitch was 🔥

Because this weekend means nothing to Texas. If possible they would have rather skipped it.

Correct. rest is the name of the game this weekend for pitching and guys like Robbins.

That did NOT take long at all. lol

Asked AI to remove the worst QB in the group. Reasoning: Even restricting it strictly to college performance, Tebow is the weakest link in this Murderers’ Row of QBs. Here’s the quick college-only breakdown: Vince Young (Texas): Rose Bowl hero, led Texas to the 2005 national title, absurd dual-threat production, one of the most electric single seasons ever. Cam Newton (Auburn): 2010 Heisman + national champion, ridiculous efficiency + rushing dominance (nearly 1,500 rush yards), carried Auburn in a way few have. Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma): Multiple Big 12 titles, Heisman winner, absurd volume + efficiency over multiple years, one of the best pure college careers statistically. Joe Burrow (LSU): 2019 was arguably the greatest single season by a college QB ever (5,600+ pass yards, 60 TDs, national title, Heisman). Instant legend. Tim Tebow (Florida): Incredible leader, two national titles, Heisman winner, tough as nails… but as a pure passer he was the clear step below the rest. Lower efficiency, more game-manager/run-heavy style compared to the elite arm talent and production of the other four. Tebow’s intangibles and winning were unmatched, but if we’re judging QB play in college (accuracy, arm strength, decision-making, passing production), he’s the odd man out against these four monsters.

Added just the Texas stuff to Gerry's post.

Listen to the read, bruh. Last night was a 3.75x payout.
