Buford’s really out here acting like “Horns Down, welcome Buckeyes!” is some genius marketing plan. Bold move for a bar in Austin to publicly announce they don’t want local business anymore. Ohio State fans will stumble in, spill cheap beer, chant O‑H like they’re at a county fair, and then forget the name of the place by morning. Meanwhile every Longhorn in the city will treat Buford’s like it’s a condemned building with raccoons living in the walls. Congrats to them, though --- not every bar has the courage to say, “We choose bankruptcy.”

RIP

Thanks for this update, Bobby. The expansion into volleyball, softball, and baseball makes it clear this rule is intended to define amateur eligibility across multiple sports, not just address a football loophole. Sounds like a straightforward signal: the SEC intends to keep former professionals out across the board, and Sankey now has the authority to enforce that without waiting on NCAA committees. Someone needs to tell these ex‑pros, “Go play in your local rec league if you’re bored - you’re not turning college sports into your comeback tour." GO SANKEY

won the 2021 Grammy Award - best contemporary christian music....liked this one

Dolly was the real deal. No gimmicks, no fluff --- just talent stacked on talent. Country music doesn’t make many like her anymore. Hell of a run. RIP

So the guy who’s won more than anyone not named Cook suddenly needs to ‘ride into the sunset’ because an assistant left? If Texas ever hits a skid, sure, we can have that conversation. But calling for Elliott’s retirement while he’s still stacking trophies is wild. This program doesn’t need a new head coach - it needs another Sullivan, not a farewell tour

And honestly, the season can’t get here fast enough - at this rate we’ll have three more portal panics, a fake civil war, and somebody demanding CJ be traded to UCLA before kickoff even happens.

This thread went from ‘Texas passed on Hendrick’ to ‘CJ is personally destroying the program’ in about eight seconds. Y’all treat portal updates like they’re FBI raids. UCLA getting a linebacker, Texas didn’t need one, and half this board is acting like CJ stole their catalytic converter. Clay’s getting blamed, Sark’s getting psychoanalyzed, and someone already told CJ to go into hibernation like he’s a disgruntled bear. It’s August, it’s 107 degrees, and the heat has officially cooked the board’s brain cells. Hydrate, people. 😀

Don't follow soccer much, but interested to see how our new coach performs

That is the best statement i have read in this thread so far.

most important thing we want to know before this starts, "who started at LT today" ? 😀

Street’s the pick, and it’s not even a debate - the man treated losing like it was a personal insult. He basically rolled into Austin, looked the schedule in the eye, and said, “Nope.” Twenty‑and‑oh. Who does that? That’s not a record, that’s a magic trick. He won a national title, never took an L, and then walked off like, “Alright, y’all can handle the rest.” Street set the bar so high NASA had to track it. 😀

So, OTF makes money from three places: YouTube ads Sponsors (PrizePicks, tech companies, etc.) Fans paying directly (Super Chats, memberships, website subs) And the whole point of that long post was basically: “YouTube ads don’t pay much. Sponsors and memberships pay way more.” That’s it.? ....Glad to see Bobby and the mods making money instead of just moderating our meltdowns for free.

Jeff Howe probably already knew because Jeff knows every Central Texas media human who’s ever touched a headset, but still… wild seeing Cam level up like that. Didn't they both work at 247sports at same time? not sure....I know Cam was a contributor over there at times.
