  1. This is quite the fucking surprise.... @closetojumping Gerry Hamilton Zelus Hicks Key Note Not only did Texas 4-star++ signee Zelus Hicks (Carrollton, Ga./High) reclassify from 2026 to 2025. But he's also been taking AP classes throughout high school and has the credits to graduate high school this month. Hicks, 6-2, 185-pounds, will be moving to Austin January 13 and go through spring practice.

  2. I added a 2025 tab to the depth chart spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1658728281#gid=1658728281 Those that are projected by Surly to declare for the NFL or portal are italicized, although when there's not a consensus, I'll assume they're returning. I also updated the Texas Grid and Aggie Grid tabs which shows athletes by signing class rather than by remaining eligibility, along with their 247 composite rating (transfers get their transfer rating, no their HS rating). The Blue Chip Ratio is at the bottom of those tabs. Names are removed once they state they are entering the portal or declaring for the draft (i.e., no speculation for these tabs).

  10. Texas isn’t paying a non-qb HS recruit seven figures. They never have and Phillips isn’t that guy to change it. This bullshit the LSU end is pushing is manufactured out of thin air. The reality is that Phillips’ family started to have very real concerns about Brian Kelly as a human versus being compared to the culture at Texas. Players at LSU are starting to turn on Kelly and have indicated disdain to recruits. LSU doesn’t have $800k/year to commit to a NB, btw. That’s also ridiculous bullshit. $800k was more than LSU used to be able to scrounge up in the bag game for all of their bag game deals in a class combined. Those idiots are as poor as they are dumb and dishonest. There are few dumber, poorer and dirtier fanbases and programs in all of CFB. I am truly enjoying watching those sorry motherfuckers bawl all over themselves. Things are going to continue to go from bad to worse for those scumbags and we get to be here for it.

  12. I find the SOS argument against Texas to be disingenuous, or ignorant. Guys like Mandel doing it aren't ignorant, they just like bitching about Texas for clicks and personal bias. Old school SEC talking heads are really struggling to frame up the reality of Texas showing up and not giving a fuck about deference or waiting turns or whatever other ethereal nonsense they have in their heads that they think actually matters. Texas scheduled the most difficult OOC game in the country on paper. It's the same next year, too. They played two other eventual bowl teams in the OOC and the dreg on the OOC, La Monroe, wasn't an FCS team and almost went bowling. No one looked at that OOC in the preseason and gave it anything but praise. That should stand now compared to damned near any other program. Regarding the SEC portion, cry me a fucking river. Be better. Stop talking shit about conference difficulty. Tennessee played the same schedule but traded Bama at home for ATM at Kyle Field. They played a decent, on paper, NCSU team, an FCS team, the worst team in FBS in Kent State, and fucking UTEP in their non-con. They couldn't even beat Arkansas. WTF aren't they getting the same level of whining and scrutiny? Teams like Ole Miss and Indiana should be ashamed of their OOC behaviors. Ohio State as well. All pussified nonsense. I'm hoping Texas never does anything but scoff and mock when asked about it.

  16. I know I keep beating this dead horse, but it's crazy to me that it is getting absolutely no attention. Everyone is focusing on the schedule, but outside of the Georgia game, nobody is appreciating the level of dominance this team has shown. Colorado State - Never trailed Michigan - Never trailed UTSA - Never trailed ULM - Never trailed Mississippi State - Never trailed Oklahoma - Trailed from 0:15 left in the 1st quarter until 11:20 left in the 2nd (scored TD next drive) Vanderbilt - Trailed from 9:40 left in the 1st quarter until 5:37 left in the 1st (scored TD next drive) Florida - Never trailed Arkansas - Never trailed Kentucky - Never trailed aggy - Never trailed Over the 11 games (660 minutes) besides Georgia, we have trailed for SEVEN MINUTES AND 58 SECONDS. Both times where we saw the other team score first, we immediately went and scored a touchdown and never looked back. Do we appreciate how fucking insane this is? In a year full of upsets, taking care of business from the opening kickoff over and over and over again has to mean something.

  17. https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/horns-report/bevo-to-miss-texas-longhorns-debut-in-sec-championship-game/ "SEC officials cited space constraints as the reason why Bevo won’t be on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium sidelines in Atlanta, Silver Spur Alumni Association Executive Director Ricky Brennes said. Uga XI, the University of Georgia’s bulldog mascot, will be in attendance, Brennes said." Well this is some bullshit.

  19. The ratings for the Texas/A&M game weren't even very good. Under 10 million and well below OSU/Michigan game. All the hype and pageantry ended up being incredibly overstated. I bought into it, too. Never again. No one gives a shit about A&M.

  20. Jesus Fucking Christ. Biden didn’t do this. Biden can’t unilaterally cut stimulus checks. Biden can’t magically instill the people with civic pride or understanding. Biden can’t make us a communal, compassionate people. Biden didn’t make us this fucking racist, ignorant and stupid. Biden did fine with what he had. He’s an 8-4 coach working with 1-11 talent The problem is our dumb asses. We saw 4 years of bumbling idiocy, blatant criminality and a btrayal of our norms and traditions topped off with a million or more extra dead than a competent admin. and, after a breather, re-upped. Stop blaming a person or a handful of pols for systemic problems nothing but facing calamity can fix.

  22. These insurance companies effectively murder or make life a living hell for millions of people every year purely for profit. They are evil. I'm glad this asshole was killed. Perhaps more executives of shitty companies that hurt lots of people should be killed. It just might cause some companies to stop being so evil, if only for self preservation. Keyboard warrior rant over.

  27. I like the one guy who considers "wearing overt tu gear" as classless behavior and inviting trouble. Imagine, wearing a Longhorn t-shirt to a game the Longhorns are playing in. The NERVE. I'm sure he has a story about some stupid sip who was committing the sin of wearing Longhorn gear to watch the Longhorns play, sitting in the row in front of him, and how he gently had to lay that dude down on the bench and gently choke him, because how dare he be such a disrespectful trouble-maker??

  28. This guy. Somehow my daughter (no pics) at Bama knows. Maybe had a class together or part of a larger group that hang out a little, I don't remember, it was a couple of years ago. But he was shooting his shot, a lot, at my daughter. "Lets make D1 babies". I hope this dipshit ends up in the FCS

  29. SO much to love. "Our classlessness wasn't us, it could have been any other fan that travelled to BFE college station to dress up in Maroon to pretend to be an aggie to make us look bad!" "That sign was fake! Their classless behavior was real despite actual video of the HC telling the kids not to disrespect the logo!" Once you're a smooth brain conspiracy theorist, I guess you have to apply it to everything.

  30. I understand why this happens and I know I do it too, but you guys are high on your own supply with Blue. He's not a starter at Texas, he doesn't project to be able to add any value running between the tackles, he's not particularly tough, he can be overwhelmed in pass protection, he's not a skilled kick or punt returner and he has the worst case of fumblitis for any player on a Texas roster since Ricky. He does two things well - he's an excellent receiver out of the backfield and he's very fast. Keilan Robinson was drafted in part because he was an excellent ST guy in multiple ways and he was good to excellent at numerous facets as a TB, if totally undersized and unable to run inside. That's just not Blue. FWIW to those who weren't there, Golden did not walk on SR night. I am unsure of the rules and such, so maybe he couldn't simply because he's not going to graduate any time soon or something, but that's likely not the case. I took it as an indicator that he wants to come back. I think the dude is a terrific college WR, so I would love to see that. He catches everything, plays tough, runs solid routes, has a workmanlike attitude within the program, is helpful on kick returns, etc. It would be great news if he returns. Plenty of guys come back within 9 months of an ACL injury and play like nothing happened. It's a truly individual issue, so no one knows shit right now, but it's more likely that he's ready in the summer than not able to workout in the fall, given history of others with the same issue. This isn't the 1970's.

  33. As of this moment, allegedly Georgia hasn't presented an absurd offer to Terry, while Texas and perhaps Auburn have. That's the whole point of "not sure Kirby is going to let a 5 star in-state DL go to Texas" comments. There's an expectation that Georgia is going to match whatever is needed in the end in order to retain the guy. Georgia might be out of gas though. They're not Yellawood backed or Ellison/Knight backed or built with a collective/corporate combo on the level of Texas. They had to do a whole lot already to get a lot of guys across the finish line and two of those were 5 star DLs. There's always the shot that Georgia's backers have fatigue or nothing left to give in this cycle. Were that to be the case, then it comes down to distance from home for the family and how Texas could overcome it. Auburn's offering, in yet another cycle, is that they have a lot of money to pay a player and the current roster sucks so badly that said player can play significantly immediately. So they got a bunch of guys to hold their nose and sign. Maybe that works with Terry here as well. Allegedly the final bids are due today, so we'll know soon. I'm guessing Auburn wins if they've landed in the range of Texas. I don't see the poors at Bama winning unless the guy wants to give Kalen Daboer a discount for some reason. Probably an Auburn head/Georgia heart kind of deal in the end. At least with Georgia or Texas, development at the position can be pointed out versus the shitshow in development at Auburn with Durkin. They've had two DTs drafted in the last 4 drafts - both 7th rounders last year, already barely hanging on to an NFL roster via the practce squad.
