50 million buyout

Strong, definitive denial!!!!!

Meyer won, Herman not so much, his results were very marginal.

A year closer to his pension.

Let’s be perfectly frank, Herman was a fraud and really not a great person.

Would love to see Napier brought in as an offensive consultant.

Also, not missing Sideshow Bert.

We are inconsistent and have no identity. We aspire to be a big-time home run hitting offense. But that doesn’t seem possible due to inexperience and an inability to have all the offensive players firing on all cylinders at the same time.

I don’t know if he is the best, but i can’t think of many I would have higher on my list. Last night was mind boggling.

Hopefully “consistently “ good

Texas 27-13

Obviously there is no one correct way to construct a national championship roster. Some programs swear by stacking top-ranked freshman classes, others lean heavily on the transfer portal, and plenty try to swing between the two. What Texas is learning this season is that each path has its strengths — and its pitfalls. Freshman recruits offer long-term upside. They can be developed over multiple seasons into stars who become the backbone of the program. But even five-stars often need time, and the early investment doesn’t always pay off on the field right away. Portal additions, meanwhile, can fill immediate needs and bring experience. They’re the quick-fix solution that can keep a team in contention. The trade-off is short shelf life and roster churn — it’s hard to build identity around players who might only stay a year. The reality is that championships are built on a hybrid model. You need the developmental pipeline of multi-year contributors who know the system, plus targeted transfers who can deliver instant impact. Lean too hard on one side, and you risk either growing pains or instability. Strike the balance, and you’ve got the formula for sustained success.

Man among boys!!!!!!

21-13 Texas

Texas 31-10

Yeah, we’ve got a defense that can hang with anyone, but if the offense can’t move the chains, that defense is going to wear down. The real issue? The offensive line. You can’t hide a shaky OL forever—if protection collapses or the run game stalls, all those skill guys (including Arch) get wasted. That’s where Sark has to step up. Confidence in pressers is fine, but game plans have to protect the weak spots. Quick passes, tempo, RPOs, extra blockers—whatever it takes to buy time until the line develops. The flip side: OLs do come together over time. If Sark schemes smart early, this offense will find its rhythm as the season goes on. The talent at QB, RB, and WR is real—it just needs the foundation to hold up. Bottom line: skepticism is fair right now, but patience is the play. If Sark balances short-term fixes with long-term development, we’ll be fine.

Where Gundy would be a good fit

So soon-to-be former Hokie players are redshirting prior to making their portal escape? Makes perfect sense! Meanwhile, the athletic department is floundering around trying to enforce NIL deals like a toddler with a crayon. If Va. Tech thinks they’re going to enforce their will on players to escape this mess, they might want to think again. At this point, the only things heading to Virginia Tech are going to be legal bills and courtroom losses.

RIP

Florida has the money, the brand, and the fanbase—what they don’t have is the right coach. Napier’s clock is ticking loud, and the swamp is ready for its next ringleader. So who’s it gonna be?

Saw him play against the U of Pittsburgh last year. He made a lot of big time throws.

Travis Hunter starter kit.

Strike Ohio State --> Oregon vs. Penn State

Bye week, and I’m already twitching without Texas football. No Arch Manning grimaces to nitpick, no Sark play-calls to roast—just me stuck watching everyone else’s drama. At least there are still some heavyweight games to keep me entertained: Georgia–Alabama in the SEC and Ohio State–Penn State in the Big Ten should both be slugfests. Meanwhile, I’ll laugh at the Aggies doing Aggie things and ignore the OU fans—since they’ve got no game to lose this week, they’ll just be on Twitter convincing themselves Texas is nothing but a media creation—like the press is secretly holding weekly hype meetings in Austin.
