    Sure, there will be plenty of suitors lining up for your players, but here's the kicker: during the season teams don’t have roster space to actually take them in. Also there is a bandwidth problem. So this buys you a little time to get your house in order.

    Fully agree, UCLA’s been a “potential” program for 30 years—it’s like they enjoy being a sleeping giant that never wakes up. OSU? That ship’s already sunk. No money, no conference juice, and their whole “develop hidden gems” formula doesn’t work when Tech, OU or A&M can just cut a check and steal them. Gundy was the magic trick, and once he tapped out, Stillwater turned back into a pumpkin. Likewise, Florida’s the soap opera I’m waiting on. They’ve got every tool in the box—money, recruiting, facilities—but somehow Billy’s still convincing people “it just takes time.” The SEC doesn’t give you time. The question isn’t if he gets popped, it’s whether Florida finally acts like Florida and goes big, or drags this circus out another year while Texas, Georgia and Bama keep eating their cornbread.

    Totally fair point, the pundits are going to twist the Florida game no matter what. If Lagway plays hurt, it’s “Texas beat a QB in a boot.” If he’s out, it’s “Texas beat a backup.” Either way, there won’t be much credit given. But honestly, that’s the price of being a contender—every win gets picked apart until you knock off a true heavyweight. Georgia is the big stage, no doubt. That said, stacking wins is what matters. Keep rolling, handle Florida, beat Oklahoma and the chance to prove it in Athens will be waiting.

    No doubt. Wisconsin didn’t hire Luke Fickell to babysit mediocrity, but that’s what it looks like so far. The leash in Madison isn’t nearly as long as he probably thinks, and before long fans will be wondering if they got the playoff wizard from Cincinnati—or just a guy who sold high and hasn’t done squat since.

    In college football, waiting is losing. UCLA and Oklahoma State proved that this fall when they pulled the trigger midseason, and it wasn’t panic—it was strategy. Fire early and you lock down your roster, open a portal window when rivals aren’t paying attention, and buy months to line up your next hire. You also send a clear message to recruits and boosters that standards still matter. Drag it out, and all you get is uncertainty. The programs that act first stabilize fastest, while the ones that hesitate watch the ground shift under them. In today’s game, early firings aren’t desperation moves—they’re the new playbook.

    I think there’s a little missing from Napier’s statement—could be coachspeak, could be that he’s not telling the full story on Lagway’s health. Either way, injured or not, Lagway’s profile as a athletic but still inconsistent QB actually works in our favor. Facing him in the Florida game gives Texas a look at the kind of challenges they’ll see the following week with Hawkins at OU. From a preparation standpoint, that first game should be a perfect tune-up for the second. Pray that we can stay healthy.

    Patience is key with Arch—he’s not supposed to be perfect right now. There have been some bumps, but the flashes of talent show exactly why the hype is real. He doesn’t need to carry the team on his back yet; he just needs to keep stacking reps, cleaning up the little things, and letting the game slow down. Once that happens, we’re going to see a whole new level from him.

    So he broke his thumb on his throwing hand and still played 3 quarters? Sounds fishy.
  9. Steamboat Willie
    There are some players who should have the ball in their hands anytime it is possible. J B is one of those types of players.
  10. Steamboat Willie
    It is exactly the of what took place with Quinn. Arch is rushing through making numerous reads way before the receivers are coming open. It is strictly a timing thing!!!!
  11. Steamboat Willie
    Was Arch squinting?
  12. Steamboat Willie
    if this is the criteria for average this year then 100% of the teams playing college football have average or below average QBs
  13. Steamboat Willie
    Guessing Simmons is fine?

    That being the case and I have no reason to doubt you Gerry, he is a lot denser physically than he looks.
  21. Steamboat Willie
    Not sure if they will be able to afford to keep their existing roster in place but with their existing roster perhaps they don’t want to.

    I am excited about Turntine joining this class. He is technically sound, which says a lot about the potential upside for his time at UT. However, I still don’t believe he is 270 lbs, he looks closer to 250 lbs.
  23. Steamboat Willie
    Deja Vu, this sucks again!
  24. Steamboat Willie
    Are we really all in on JJ?
  25. Steamboat Willie
    Perhaps for a team with a left handed Quarterback.
