Just rewatched the VY NC game. David Thomas was nails. Just caught everything. Leading receiver on that team. Really liked Ogbanaya. He’s a great choice for the non-star favorites list. I remember him as a guy that just made plays when needed. Selvin Young fit that mold too.

Good memory! I had to go look it up. 5th overall pick probably doesn’t qualify as a non-star! LOL!

I’ll play… Josh Thompson - The guy was absolutely elite at downing Michael Dickson’s punts inside the 10 yard line. i think Robison, Bryant Westbrook (elite cover corner that could hit like a freight train), Pat Fitzgerald (great pass catching TE), and Quan Cosby (WR that caught everything that was part of the dynamic trio with Colt and Jordan Shipley) might all be too good to meet the “non-star” qualifier.

I have no doubt that Cignetti is a good coach, but I also wonder a little if he hasn’t also just had some luck combined with a killer QB. When I say luck I’m not implying that they aren’t an exceptional team, but injuries and random bounces of the ball are a reality that go hot and cold. You don’t lead the country in T/O margin, 3rd down conversion percentage, and penalty yardage per game by accident, but I wonder if this isn’t the second coming of Bob Stoops 2000 national championship team. That team had essentially no missed starts due to injuries which provided an exceptional amount of continuity throughout the season. By the end of the season they were playing better football than anyone else because they had a level of cohesion that was unmatched. Stoops had really good teams after that but didn’t win another championship.

Why not get both? Seriously though, you won’t even know if Toney is going to be in the portal until after Coleman is off the board. You pursue Coleman until the end and if that doesn’t work out then you look at the next best alternative, whom ever that happens to be at the time.

All-in every year! With the new world order (NIL and the portal) you have the potential to hit the jackpot in any given year. Roster cycles are not what they once were. Be aggressive and play to win.

Yup!

The next day or two is going to tell us a lot about what type of leader Arch is. The administration has gone “all-in” making financial resources available this portal season and we’ve got the right prospects on campus. Everything is in place, now we have to close the sale. Is Arch the type of leader that attracts other high caliber players that feed off the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary or is he just a talented player with a famous name, arm talent, and some good wheels?

Let’s make the playoff first and then worry about whether our seeding/bracket is optimal. Sark spent so much time on the long game (holding dinged players out, lighter practices, etc) that the team never actually really came together for the “now.” He needs to practice what he preaches and recognize that not maximizing now leaves the team less prepared later.

The guy is a true Longhorn, he will be missed

Merry Christmas fellow Longhorns! May your lives be full of cheer and your plates bountiful.
