48-10, there seems to always be a broken/explosive play that bites us, this time yielding a TD I think. I think w some of our RB attrition plus playing Owens likely in most of Q4 running clock keeps our point total down. Still a thumping, bigger than score shows, and a great SEC debut. 🤘

In an age of offensive football...

Thanks. Noted. But still... 🤔

One of biggest surprises for me this year: where in the world is Amari Niblack? zero impact to date, and zero snaps in last game? There are 3rd string freshmen getting snaps… I know Helm has been great, but that doesn’t account for zero snaps… did I miss something??

The security and foundational strength this gives our program over the next several years can simply not be overstated. Unbelievable situation and benefit for Texas. 🤘

What do Aggies and Longhorns have in common? They all applied to UT... 🤘

No way I'd have gotten in with today's standards, so thank my lucky stars every day I'm old 🙂 Then they let me in again for a Masters, go figure... Only one of my 4 kids, all super smart, high achievers, high scores, AP Scholar, National Merit, etc. got in directly and graduated though, and one through the UT A transfer program, though all much better qualified than I was... the bar is really, really high... 🤘

10 and 2 Gerry 🤣

Just checking in here to see if ags think they are (re)playoff bound now that they "destroyed" a shell of a Florida team and "found" a quarterback and won their first SEC road game.... The ship has been righted! Elko>Sark! etc... 🙄 Can't wait for that game to end the season... 🤘

glass houses people... all those Lambos out there, trouble waiting to happen lol... 🙂 I know at 18 in Houston and Austin I was getting into trouble with a Toyota 😜 seriously, as we get "hotter" (if possible) as a program, more recruits than ever will want to come and it becomes harder to keep the culture fit and focus... 5*s are great, but sometimes a 4* fit is better. Evaluation and patience become premium... its the rat poison of recruiting imho... look at Florida and their downfall - I saw something where like 40% of their top recruiting class had been arrested and/or done time since the class was signed... kind find the quote, so maybe apocryphal, but its a cautionary tale... character and program fits matter. so far, we've been super fortunate, and Sark seems to be world class in this regard... but no one is immune.... and not to rant, but related in the inverse, its been super rewarding to see all the podcasts w/ former players etc. and how well both our current and former players represent Texas. The best. Hook 'em.

Beef Ribs on the Traeger for the post game dinner.

slowest week ever.... anything is news 😉 🤘

Overrated: Ole Miss, ND, and Clemson. and Tennessee Underrated: OK State, USC

It's a great podcast format and I really enjoy their discussions. Really highlights the quality of people these athletes are - esp when you contrast w/ the recent stat on UF where > 50% of their "great" teams have done time since then... I don't mind missing out on a couple of these kids in favor of culture fits at the end of the day. These guys are winning in life.

Lame schedule. 👎 one of the worst non-conference slates I can remember. what is the thought process behind it even? Just terrible.

Not sure it’s so cool to anyone but me, but I have my GOAT wall, with signed 8.5 x 11s… My 3 favorite players of all time, all wore #34 for a Houston team… 🤘

Nice one Gerry. 🤘

Not a Big 12 sport, but Texas Lacrosse just won the Lone Star Alliance of the MCLA including wins over SMU and Aggie and an undefeated regular season and conference tournament and is now on a run in the national tournament as the 2 seed. Best season ever for Texas Lacrosse and a solid chance to go deep in nationals, which is coincidentally being held in Round Rock this year of all places. Go see em and support the horns trying for a natty if you can this week. 🤘 instagram: UTLacrosse and VarsityClubLacrosse for updates/scores or http://mcla.us
