Coffee and Football starts at 8 AM and it’s the best way to get your Texas Longhorns fix each and every weekday morning. Join me, along with Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton, as we take your questions and talk the latest topics when it comes to the Horns.

Still talking to some folks tonight before posting anything about the future and this team.

I posted this (screenshot below) on page 11, as it’s from a thread earlier in the season I made about coaches I’d like to see Texas go after from a realistic standpoint, although Vitello going to get tougher and tougher to get by the day. I’m calling everyone on Tier 1 tomorrow and gauging interest and then going from there. Honestly I’d probably take Tony Vitello over all of them, but if I had to choose a main guy and a backup plan: 1. Vitello - He took Tenn from a program with little success to a powerhouse who’s constantly in contention. Not only that, but fans love him. Look no further than him constantly talking to fans, celebrating with them in the bleachers, hosting pizza parties, etc. NIL would be helped by this hire in a big way. A tremendous way actually. Players also feed off that energy. His players love him. I would do everything I could to make him say no. 2. Erik Bakich. High baseball IQ guy and it translates on the field. His teams are sound and play a brand of baseball that translates well at this level. He’s also one hell of a developer. He’s done well at places that aren’t baseball powerhouses. Another players coach as well. If one thing gives me pause, it might be his postseason record. But I think he can overcome that with elite talent at a place like Texas. Vaughn and Canham would be next in line.

We will continue this thread for any good regional moments between now and tomorrow; but since Texas is out, I’m going to unpin it. I’ll start a new post here in a bit regarding the Horns and the future. Checking with a couple of different sources on some things.

I’ll post some thoughts and such here in a bit. Let me finish putting this Power Wheels together for my youngest!

First off, welcome to the board and thanks for joining us. We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy it! Look at the top post on page 11 (this page). I posted it there. Edit: Nevermind I see you found it! If someone is going to make a Vitello run, it needs to be now.

Same dang double play. Game tied 1-1.

I don’t think Ace is even close to 75% healthy. He’s giving it all he has, but I’m really surprised they started him today.

Phenomenal 4-6-3. Unfortunately it wasn’t phenomenal for the Horns.

Didn’t take as long as I thought. The list: The thread:

I made you guys a list while back on coaches Texas should go after. Realistic list. Not “we’re getting Jay Johnson!!!!!” Type list. Let me see if I can find it.

Some news this morning: Texas will start Ace Whitehead today against Louisiana.

Went back and rewatched a lot of it this morning. No doubt crucial errors cost Texas this game. They beat themselves, hands down. I’ve always said (and tell my oldest two) big time players make big time plays. Last night those plays were needed, but it didn’t happen. I feel terrible for them all, but you have to execute, especially on routine plays. And there was a clear lack of execution last night by multiple players. Not just one. I wonder what Augie would have said in that locker room last night after the game. 😳

100%.

Saw great baseball throughout the day today in multiple places and then I come home and capped it off with this…. Ouch.

Can’t believe they had that 3rd out in the bag and instead gave up 2 more on back to back batters. And with a seasoned vet making that error at that. Feel bad for him but you can’t do that with a game this big on the line.

You gotta be kidding me. I skipped the main UFC fight for this garbage at the end.

Jesus.

Why would you not wear that? That’s a run for your team.
