These stats cover up the fact that tOSU has the best OL in the history of football, regardless of level.

First team to 11 takes this thing?

Jet lag is still a factor…

This week zero Ireland game is finally watchable. They’ve filled in the stadium pretty well, and the production quality is passable.

Onions!

Need to get away from the right hash…. Oh wait.

If only adults could show as much grace as Arch does on a daily basis. He's all class in terms of how he has managed his situation.

Good question/topic. I think the problem you run into once you lock in so many permanent games is you end up with the same scheduling imbalances the SEC has had for years. Take Slurp as an example. Their top permanent game would be against us over the Thanksgiving weekend (and preferably, Thanksgiving). The next likely candidate is LSU, maybe, who, in turn, would also be a likely opponent of Alabama. Our three would not be a picnic either. The RRR is a rivalry game/tossup no matter the talent differential. And OU won’t be “down” for more than a few years. And Slrup/Arky are tough road environments and rivalries in their own right.

He spells like a Slurp too…with all “do respect.”

Also, if you truly expect Goosby back in a day or two, why run Chatman or Brooks out there for additional snaps and add to injury risk?

Fun fact…. West Boca is the squad that took out Graceson Littleton’s group en route to the state title.

I’m sure it would have been stiffer if they used Venmo like John Mateer.

Clips This appears to be practice, not scrimmage, footage, complete with an Aaron Butler sighting.

I love how these lists never include Taaffe. Keep underestimating what that dude does.

Proud of Matthew and proud of our program for providing him with a springboard.

Even if Mateer loses time here, didn’t anyone listen to Hawkins’s pops? They are elite top to bottom.

This is the right answer.

The tough thing about this year for predictions is that it is a down year for CFB. Any year PSU is legitimately predicted to win the Big 10 is a down year. For UT, I think to be better than 10-2, you have to assume we will again run the table in our three rivalry games (counting Arky), if you assume a split in the UGA and tOSU matchups. That’s never a sure bet in any year.

Here’s a guy who hasn’t been mentioned and probably was the best at something he did under Sark - Josh Thompson, the best gunner we’ve had on teams.

For folks following the Nuss injury, Brian Kelly said today that it is tendinitis in the knee. Sounds like he expects it to linger because it is a chronic condition for Nuss, and people deal with it "virtually every day in life." Link

I think you would take a scholarship at ND, Vandy, Duke, Michigan, Wake Forest, or UNC as well over one from Slurp, unless you want to be an engineer.

Have been meaning to join this site ever since Jeff Howe came over. With all the YouTube content, I assume you can give a one hour slot every week to Rod Jeff, and Matt Butler for the Blitz, right? I am a former non-football athlete, who did not grow up in an area where football was big, but knows a thing or two (or I’d like to think so) about sports. I never thought I would ever want to listen to a football podcast. When I switched over to driving to work during the pandemic and shifted away from public transportation, I picked up Longhorn Blitz. In a world where content is generally standardized (and shallow), the Blitz was something else. A show that did more - gave you the why and asked you to meet it where it was. You got the quantitative piece (and I don’t even buy into that much in sports), but the intangible pieces as well. Almost like a 60 Minutes of Longhorn football. And for the folks who would listen, like I would over the nearly handful of years I listened in the peace and quiet of my car, you got a football education. So, please bring it back - if only to add more perspectives and approaches to what you are doing here.
