  1. Jacob is a great kid. Hard worker. Incredible powerlifter. Really good wrestler. Still learning at DT. with his size and strength, he should be dominating. he isn't. he stands straight up when the ball snaps and mostly leans on the OL in front of him. he often will get pushed backward. the potential is there. the work ethic is there. the desire is there. he just needs to put it all together. i think he will eventually get there and be dominant. and i think he will end up making the college he attends very happy. but they will need to be patient with him. If i were Texas, I would recruit him. I do think he will be that good. I dont think he has gotten a lot of attention yet but I expect he will this year. he is one of my son's really good friends. he is a really funny guy and one that has a lot of character, definitely a team guy.
  2. Yes
  3. Trouble in LT land. QB1 not playing week 1 against Martin. Some speculation that he is injured and other that he was benched. He hasn't practiced all week so I lean towards injured.
  4. because 6 is too many.
  5. Kid #1 graduated Plan II / CS in 2020 and just got his first promotion as a software engineer at Amazon. Kid #2 graduated Plan II / Economics in May and is in the middle of his first day at UT Law. Kid #3 is a senior in Dean's Honors / Environmental Science, first day back at UT after spending last Spring at UCL studying abroad, and is in the process of applying to PhD programs. Kid #4 is a sophomore in Plan II / EE and is excited to be back on campus even though he has 5 classes on Mondays... Kid #5 is rocking it at LT and is ready to take his place at UT in a few years.
  6. damn, Huck.
  7. i will never understand Orlando's thought process with dropping Ossai. I understand Ossai was the best guy on the defensive side of the ball and he was needed everywhere, but at edge (happy huck?), he could instantly make the other 10 guys better and impact every single play in a way that dropping him never ever could. it was the worst positional deployment decision possibly of all time.
  8. yeah! take THAT, Huck!!!
  9. i forgot how messy that game against Ohio State was but goddamn i miss those days of having the best players on the field at almost every position (except lb...)
  10. geeez i was just trying to be cool like everyone else, dad.
  11. but at least we have bad CBs, DTs, and Safeties too!
  12. agreed. its completely stupid and waste of money. mark me down as a No.
  13. good competent LBs are essential to any good defense but they are generally the least important players in terms of impact and rarity. EDGE players are the most important and impactful, followed by CBs, then DTs, then Safeties. You can't have a great D without good LBs but you cant have a great D without a great EDGE player.
  14. Ok, we have our starter. let's go Quinn!!!!
  15. i hope not because that would be even more troubling from a program perspective.
  16. well, my hope, if we go with Card, would be that we would see dramatic improvement as most QBs tend to do between their 1st and 2nd years.
  17. but we can with a guy who cant beat Card for the spot? if Sark starts Card (i am on record that I think he will start Ewers), its because he thinks Card gives the team the best chance to win now. I dont think Sark is a Card homer and no doubt he wanted Ewers to come in and win the job. so if that doesnt happen, it most likely means that Ewers isnt far enough along to take the job and Sark doesnt want to ruin him.
  18. Surly: "No, that was Hudson Card."
  19. Worthy looks better than last year, brennan thompson is the fastest guy on the field but has the drops. bijan is unstoppable. great energy from the team and everyone is super focused. QE puts more arc on the ball than Card. GP sighting. also, they are putting the side panels on Godzillatron.
  20. hearing that the new LB is legit. savion looks great. cam is HUGE. and QE just threw 2 picks in a row.
  21. i seriously doubt the report that Ewers doesnt work hard or spend much time in his playbook. Im assuming the SLC program is a lot like the LT program and both are built on a foundation of hard work and spending hours in their playbook. This isnt new to Quinn. Also, I have heard nothing but respect for the kid and his approach to the game from the folks i know inside the program. players and coaches do not respect players who dont put in the time.
  22. Again, I expect Ewers to be named the starter. But from everything I have heard, both players are respected and the team is behind both of them. Both QBs are hard workers who are extremely talented but neither has proven themselves on Saturday.
  23. tbh, i have mostly tried to block that game out of my memory as NS destroyed LT. But Im pretty sure you can watch Hudson running around, dodging defenders, and doing his best to do something with the ball. I dont think there were any holes open nor receivers open so it was a tough game for him and LT. now, go watch the next semi against NS and see how he battled the whole game and nearly brought LT back to win it.
