"...this at least ensures DKR is a fearsome place to play". Absolutely! You want your dedicated fanatics as close to the field as possible. You don't want a bunch of casual observers leisurely filtering into their seats during the first two quarters. Since this policy was implemented, the student section has been rabid and can hold their own with any other student body. Hoping they will be off-scale fanatical freaks tomorrow! It'll definitely help the team and should make a great impression on the large number of recruits that will be in attendance. Hook 'em!

Good stuff Jeff. Interesting aspect is that of the 29 positions you referenced you have 12 starters that were transfers. I can’t argue too much with your picks but if accurate that seems like a lot of new blood in the starting line up. I guess that’s a transfer portal feature that will take some getting used to. It could be an adjustment for Texas since Sark places so much emphasis on team culture. I know Sark started his culture building early this year but with that many guys new to the program, is there any concern about team cohesion over an epically daunting schedule? I guess we’re about to find out how good the coaching staff’s player evals are - both from a football and character / team-fit perspective.
