Yep. I’d live in Norman/OKC well before I’d live in college station.
I'd probably jump off a cliff if those were my options.

We also have a kicker on scholarship who doesn't kick FGs or XPs.
Sideshow's leg is too important to waste on kickoffs.

If we get Bear Alexander, it's because he wants to join a great program to develop as a player and man.
If we do not, he's a bag-chasing loser who will never amount to anything.
Simple.

We just have SO MANY "fun," "little" recruiting hiccups to look back on "fondly" from the Charlie/Herman years.
Terrell Cuney, Cameron Hampton (WHO?), Lorenzo Joe, Chris Warren, Kai Locksley, Cameron Townsend (what's with all the LBs named "Cameron" that I do not remember at all?), Buck Major, Garrett Thomas, Patrick Hudson (alas, what could have been - under the pretty significant assumption that we didn't fuck up his development ALL the way up. Which is a MASSIVE gamble and probably not at all realistic given our staff at the time. Sigh...), Jeff McCulloch, Kyle Porter (saw him play in HS. I could've sworn he was even better than Rodney Anderson, though it's hard to tell behind the grown ass men Katy rolls out on OL. Turns out that they both just kind of sucked), Jean DeLance (see what proper development can do for you??? I don't give a shit that he didn't do anything in the NFL. He was damn solid in college. For Florida😠).
And who could possibly forget JP Urquidez? Certainly not @Tex Pete. Then, OF COURSE, we have the amazing, astonishing, astounding, absolutely unparalled Florida Five. Thanks to Davante Davis for being the only one was worth a shit, managing to last through one, single, solitary motherfucking practice without quitting, AND having the grades to make it onto campus in the first place. Also, does the name "Shiro Davis" ring a bell for anyone? Me neither.
Oh, and hey! Who wants to see Tom Herman call a pitch to Danny Young on 4th and 0.5 so we can watch him promptly lose 3 yards and turn the ball over at our own 40 while looking like he's running through quicksand? Good times, good times. Herman EASILY had some of the most baffling turnovers on downs I've ever seen. And I LOVE it when coaches are aggressive and do that. Herman was just godawful at it. Then, of course, we had the other "magnificant" offensive "weapons" Herman and his cadre of imbicile assistants and yes men brought in.
Montrell Estell (when he wasn't switching back and forth to DB), Reese Moore, Reese Leitao, doctor and amateur pharmacist (and as an part time amateur pharmicist myself, I don't even respect his work in that field. Xanax? How generic and uncreative can you get? Go get you some 4-HO-MiPT, DPT, or DiPT. Or, if you absolutely have to sell benzos instead of something cool, try Pyrazolam, Bromazolam, Flubrotizolam, or Flubromazolam. They're not even technically illegal as long as marked "not for human consumption" and/or you put the little skull and crossbones on the container thanks a loophole in the Federal Analogue Act you could pilot an aircraft carrier through), Toneil (excuse me: Toenail) Carter, Jordan Pouncey, Brennan "Alligator Arms" Eagles, Josh Moore's unregistered gat, Malcom Epps (probably my personal favorite. "Bama wanted him so he MUST be good!!1" Saban would have trapdoored his ass 15 seconds after he set foot in Tuscaloosa. Assuming, of course, that the only reason we got him at all isn't because Saban had already trapdoored his ass. And then, "offensive wunderkind genius" Lincoln Riley takes him? That alone should disprove every "Riley is an incredible coach" argument we've ever had on this board), and Casey Thompson, annihilator of locker rooms. Who could forget good old Casey Thomson, his proud papa, and their insistence that Casey was worlds better than Ehlinger.
We should also note that Thompson (and dear old dad, of course. I wonder if he got to keep the orange jumpsuit from that SI cover?) played at least some small part in Cam Rising bolting for Utah - though I concede most of it had to do with Rising's idiotic assumption that he'd come take Sam's job from day 1), Tyler Johnson, Javonne Shephard (lol), Ja'Quinden Jackson (GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, HERMAN AND YURCICH. We had this guy as a potential wildcat QB or powerback and we were running pitches to DANNY FUCKING YOUNG on 4th and inches???!!) and, of course, Keaontay Ingram (here come the intrusive thoughts and involuntary flashbacks of the LSU game which will probably be followed by seizures and months long severe depression...).
And, of course, Herman's defensive recruiting. Just... MWAH! *Chef's kiss.* Jalen Green, Tyler Owens, Juwan "I'm collecting AARP checks dven though I'm still transferring between schools" Mitchell, Prince Dorbah ("just look at that first step! He's like our very own Von Miller!"), Xavion Aford, Sawyer Goram-Welch (counting him as a DT since that's what he was recruited as - even though he's found a way to be a complete non-factor (or worse) on BOTH sides of the ball now), and Caleb Johnson ("if he ever gets on the field, he's like Gary Johnson but bigger and faster! Really! I swear! Guys? Guys? Where are you going?").
And, to save the absolute best for last, the tin man himself, BJ Foster. Maybe the single most frustrating Texas defensive back I've ever had the misfortune to watch. Say what you want about Taafe, Schooler, and Haines. At least they left everything on the field when they played. Foster, on the other hand, couldn't even be bothered to run down multiple very stoppable touchdown plays and plenty of other long gains when he didn't feel like it.
Meanwhile, Breckyn Hager is still MASSIVELY overrunning the backfield somewhere. He's probably several hundred miles behind the play by now and still going, determined to get to that QB. Don't ever give up, little buddy. You'll get to freshman Brock Purdy someday, even if you have to sprint all the way to San Francisco to do it.
Well. What a "fun" little walk down memory lane. I think almost everyone here knows I could keep going on this. For a long, LONG time. But I think this post is already too long (and disheartening, enraging, and just plain miserable enough). Also, I prefer not to disparage MOST kids who decide to be Longhorns as long as they try, aren't complete fuckups, or aren't just bad guys. Anyway, now that I've remembered all of that and even done some research on it, I'm gonna go drink a whole container of bleach, swallow 3 bottles of Oxy, and stick my head in the oven just to make sure I get the "job" done.
Sincere thanks to Bijan, Sam, Roschon, Lil'Jordan, Collin Johnson, Sweat, Ford, Cosmi, Poona, and some other guys for making our games under Herman and Strong (usually) bearable to watch. Especially when Herman actually bothered to play Bijan.

He beat Georgia in the SEC championship and was one play away from playing in the national championship. And he's 72. People sometimes retire when they're 72.
so why didn't he just say that?

Is James a possible starter this year? He was listed as the backup last season.
I hope not. Then I'll be kinda sad that Bama isn't on our schedule. Our starting NT would feast. Probably the backups as well

aggy starts paying illegally, and now Texas starts legally paying where Alabama is going to struggle to keep up, so he retires and goes with the Bama AD to Capitol Hill to whines to Ted Cruz…
“It’s whoever wants to pay the most money, raise the most money, buy the best players, is going to have the best opportunity to win,” Saban said. “I don’t think that’s the spirit of college athletics. I don’t think that’s ever been the spirit of what we want college athletics to be.

A quick recap of what I've observed on the Keelon Russell situation:
- I first heard Tom Loy (247) mention how he thought it was interesting that Texas was maintaining substantial contact with Russell (far more than "staying in touch"); he wondered whether it was as a fallback in case KJ decommitted, or whether we were trying to get him in a 2 QB class
- A few weeks later, I saw notes from OTF and IT, and then some other 247 guys, referencing the contact and interest
- Here's a note from Hank South ... VERY positive quotes. And an interest reference to ... apples.
Newly-minted Top100 QB Keelon Russell talks Texas interest

Newly-minted Top100 QB Keelon Russell talks Texas interest
Hank South (247 Sports)
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Longhorns have a quarterback commitment from four-star signal caller KJ Lacey in the class of 2025. The Saraland (Ala.) standout hasn’t completely shut down his own recruitment, though, as he’s still visiting programs like Auburn, Ole Miss, and Alabama. However, that doesn’t mean he’s wavering from UT. The longtime pledge has repeatedly reaffirmed that he’s solid with Texas.
But in a cycle that the QB position is a top five priority (per Horns247’s opinion, at least), Texas has to keep evaluating its options, and potentially even bring in a second guy under center.
That brings us to SMU pledge and recent 247Sports Top100 inductee Keelon Russell out of Duncanville. Texas has been in communication with the 6-foot-3, 175-pounder, who just took home Alpha Dog honors at Under Armour Dallas on Sunday. He’s led the Panthers to consecutive state title wins as a sophomore and junior and is climbing recruiting boards across the country, much to Mustang fans’ dismay.
“It’s very interesting,” Russell told Horns247 of the Longhorns’ communication. “It’s an honor for a coach to take their time out, look at another quarterback when they already got another (quarterback). You’re picking up an apple, you put it back down, you get another apple. It’s a blessing. They said I have a lot of stuff, like character. They want to see me in person a lot. It’s an honor just being to talk to (them) even with them having a commit.”
Russell plans to unofficially visit Austin on April 20 for the spring game. He doesn’t have an offer from the staff yet, but one could be coming.
“It would mean a lot,” he said of a potential offer from Texas. “Just from the standpoint of them having a commit. Me seeing their facilities, seeing it around. It would mean a lot for sure. Building those relationships, getting that experience from them, getting that development. In my head I could be like the next Quinn Ewers or Arch Manning.”
Russell says he grew up a Texas fan.
“Texas was one of the dream schools for sure,” he said. “If I was to stay in Texas I was like oh yeah, I wanna go to UT for sure.”
And having Lacey in the fold already isn’t a detriment to Texas’ chances if the staff decides to press for the Top100 passer.
“I wouldn’t mind it because I love competition,” Russell said. “I’m a competitive dude.”
Russell says he still feels good about SMU at this point, but doesn’t want that impeding on the recruiting process for him.
“I would say I’m very much exploring still,” he said. “Still opened up, getting offers. I wouldn’t just say don’t offer me because I”m locked in. I’m still getting offers, still open for recruitment.Florida, UCLA, Cal, and Texas A&M are other programs he mentioned he’s interested in. Visits this spring include trips to Ole Miss, Houston, Florida, Texas, and Texas A&M.
- Russell went up from #371 to #63 on 247.
- And reminder ... there's a certain WR on his Duncanville team, that we would be willing to accommodate.
**************************************************
- I think it's clear that Texas thinks well of this guy, and would certainly be in consideration if Lacey left.
- Would they want him as a second QB? Or do they like him enough to risk losing Lacey? (Not saying they want to drop Lacey, but do they think of his as being in that category as a replacement?
- Lacey, btw, is saying all the right things, recruiting for us, and visiting Texas. But I believe he is also visiting the other schools involved - Bama, Auburn ...
If he's really that good, I think it makes sense to recruit him. Doesn't really matter what Lacey says. If he's visiting other schools, then they should pursue other QBs that they like.

Xavier Worthy to KC at #32 is going to be a popular mock
Chop vs Latu is an interesting debate (I think Houston would take Darius Robinson over both)
Atlanta trading up to draft Daniels seems unlikely to me. I think it's much more likely they buy the best free agent QB on the market (probably Cousins) and then draft Dallas Turner, who's a perfect fit for their defense
I don't think he'll still be there at #32 after that combine, but it would be hilarious if the rest of the NFL let it happen. The rich get richer.

Not sure Weigman can work out hard enough to be ready for that offense. If he starts bathing in roids maybe he'll make it to the midpoint of the season.
Their schedule is about as easy as ours but they're probably headed for 5-7. The funny part is it's only comparable SOS because we raise the difficulty of their schedule and they bring ours down.
