Ketch looks like he smells bad.

Staff: Most cycles, it seems like a head coach event at another school (retirement, firing, promotion, hot seat) really benefits Texas via decommitments. Mario Cristobal leaving Oregon in 21, Saban retiring, the '25 Florida class, etc. Which schools' recruits might Texas really need to hang around the rim for this year? I ask because we have been #2 so often with elite recruits this cycle.

Oh, you messed with the wrong mod. I disagree 100%. I love listening to Rod's stories...........and it's not like he's just going to down memory road on a joy ride. He uses his past experiences to provide insight into the current team and culture. People should cherish Rod B. I know I do.

During the "watch with us" game time show: Every once in a while give a game time clock countdown so we can synch up. For example: "It's the first quarter at 1:53, 1:52, 1:51, 1:50." I love listening to you guys live with the game sound muted but I hate hearing a big play 2 seconds before I see it. LOL

Exactly. We basically got three 5 stars WRs last year (Locket, French, Terry) and must allocate resources to keep them......not replace them. I love the two WRs we got this cycle. Both have fantastic attitudes and seem to have what it takes to be patient and wait their turn (this is exactly what you need the year after three 5 stars arrive) In Sark I trust.

Exactly. Texas has been very good at "staying #2" with certain recruits because of uncertainty with the other teams' coaches. The Oregon Ducks' Mario Cristobal was the #1 choice for Kelvin Banks and Cam Williams. Cristobal leaves for a new head coaching position and their second choice (Texas) scooped them both up. Texas hung around the rim and it payed off. The Aggies Jimbo Fisher was the #1 pick for Anthony Hill. Jimbo had a terrible season, was totally on the hot seat, and Hills second choice (Texas) got him to flip. Being #2 can simply be a stepping stone to #1 if the dominoes fall the right way.

Quinn was a good executioner of short to intermediate passing plays when protected. He really was. He hit receivers in stride beautifully (especially RBs) but (always a but), he couldn't function off script and that's what we needed a couple of times last year and that's what NFL scouts saw. However, that does NOT necessarily mean what Spurrier seems to be implying (that Arch isn't as good as Quinn or else he would have started). At the beginning of the season, Quinn was the best QB on the team. He was absolutely fantastic vs. Michigan. He did nothing to lose his job from that point on. I think he was more hampered by injuries this season than we know but his play was good enough. There was never a reason to pull Quinn and risk QB growing pains mid season. There was too much on the line to play with fire like that. Spurrier is probably just pissed that the Longhorns are in the SEC, having success, and expanding their recruiting footprint all over the south east. For years, the SEC pooped on the Longhorns as an inferior team from an inferior conference. I think what is happening with the Longhorns scares them and little Stevie doesn't like it. The SEC expected Aggie Part 2.........but that's what they got. The team mocked for "being back" actually came back right in the face of the mighty SEC. Hook Em
