Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young
VY was 22, at a time, when the NFL was transitioning from old school coaches to new ones like Andy Reid. Fisher was straddling both fences, however, he didn't have the stripes to feel comfy in his job. He hadn't won anything. Therefore, he assumed the position of a Warlord. Do as I say or else. Bud Adams certainly didn't help. VY just needed someone who had his back. When McNair was murdered, he fell into a depression. Again, no help. Nowadays, athletes are less vulnerable. Coaches are much more sensitive. Jared Elliott is a great example of this new type of coach. Because Sark has been given a second chance, he is much more cognizant of being there for his players too. Fisher, not responding to VY's letter, is all you need to know what a bitter human being he has remained. He takes no accountability. The part I loved was the reverence Scaife and White had for VY. They understood the pressure he was under. Being a quarterback in the League has to be among the most difficult jobs to have period. Look how many have tried and failed. VY is a hero to many of us. He will remain so. His legacy will be remembered for bringing a joy to us seconded only by the birth of our children. VY is loved by us and will always be so.

2026-27 Women’s Basketball Thread
We need to go after the big center from Ukraine, who is leaving LSU because insensitive Mulkey just signed a Russian player.

Video: Longhorns in the NFL Preseason
I hope this is a regular feature!

With more NFL players, it would be cool...
...if you all could do a weekly feature on how our former players did each weekend. Thanks.

Women’s Hoops: Texas will play UCLA in exhibition in Cedar Park
I wish we could get an update on Lovisa's progress. She's our tallest player and redshirted last year.
-
Stop panicking. This is not last year.
It doesn't help when our defensive backs give 10 yard cushions to the receivers. We played scared in the secondary last year. I don't see that happening this year.

…..uh oh
Much ado about nothing. He had a moment. Lighten up.

Texas Soccer- The New Era on the Horizon
I am looking forward to the soccer only facility.

Have a DAY, Ethan Burke!
Really happy for him.

2026-27 Women’s Basketball Thread
Gigi Banks would be a huge pickup. You have to have great guard play to win in the SEC. She reminds me of Fulwiley at LSU, great handle, change of direction, stutter step, go to the rim and score! Get the Lambo ready.

What's next for Texas at linebacker after Ty'Anthony Smith's departure? | Friday, 7:05 p.m.
We shouldn't speculate. With 105 dudes on a roster, I am surprised this doesn't happen more often. Coach Vic made the Final Four and yet three youngsters who played a lot, quit on Texas. You just never know what goes on behind closed doors.

Other schools message board conspiracies, meltdowns and screenshots
Aggie jealousy, coupled with a sense of grandeur, is always fun to read. The Aggies have issues but they are so deep in it, they have lost all sense of critical thinking, partiality, and sense. Who knew?🤣

Tyanthony no longer with team
I wish him well. With 105 man roster these things are bound to happen. The primary concern is always the athlete's well being.

Most Obscure Longhorn
David Thomas needs more shine. He is the main reason we got that 2005 Championship.

300,000 Subscribers. Wow.
We are a faithful and loyal band of followers of OTF! Why? Because the hard work, content, guests, updates, player interviews, Gerry's encyclopedic knowledge of future players is second to none, and the hustle by the new, young reporters is exceptional. We love all things about Texas sports and OTF is always in the forefront of providing us with rich material to read, ponder, and see!

Welp ... Penn State University back in the news, and it's really bad
Because they are rich, white punks. Dudes like that, with no previous criminal record, rarely due time. I am an interpreter for the federal court and experience this daily. I know what I am talking about as I am also a former federal investigator for the DOJ. Hardly a coward too.

Nothing will happen to them. For all the obvious reasons.

Sit him out until Ohio State.

Arch mic’d up at practice
We know who the leader of this team is now! He sounds so much like his uncles.

Amanda with the mic drop
That dude has aged in five years. Football does that to the fans. Especially Aggies who begin each year thinking they will win the Natty only to lose to Texas!

Tennessee injury
I hate to read that. I want all players to avoid major injuries. As you know, I am a huge women's basketball fan and the W right now is like an infirmary. Many top players keep getting hurt.

Byron Murphy on Hard Knocks, Seattle, HBO Max!
I just started watching the episodes. Two are available. Murphy is getting some screen time. He's basically a huge part of that dominant defensive line. The team plays this goofy game called shadow boxing and it's weird and funny to watch. I couldn't figure it out but I am old.

How soon before we get Women's Flag Football?
I can see it being huge at Texas!

How soon before we get Women's Flag Football?
It's a growing sport and super competitive. Lots of girls are competing in it. I see it being an NCAA sport within five years.

RIP Odin Hensley
Breaks my heart. God bless him.
