  1. Evan Stewart is gone unless we somehow start SEC play for '22. Not sure anything less than making the playoffs this season will entice him into one or (gasps and throws up a little) two seasons in the Big12 before making the jump. I know the last few months has made it feel like we’ll never land another elite player but in theory we were right in the mix for him before he knew there might be a chance to play for UT in the SEC. And technically got him to commit to Texas when we were seemingly committed to the Big12 for the long haul.
  2. You stupid lemmings. Sure, listen to the “botanists” that say plants need water. Imma think for myself, only one thing I give my plants:
  3. Like a lot of you, I’m just tired and feeling hopeless about all of it. Lamar Jackson has gotten COVID twice, but still just isn’t sure if he should get the vaccine, he really needs to do the research and consider both sides. On one side he has access to some of the best doctors in the country who are almost certainly telling him to get vaccinated based on all available peer reviewed evidence and their collective expertise. On the other, some loud friends and family and Reddit conspiracies without any factual basis. Tough, but what’s important is we don’t judge him as he makes this difficult personal choice.
  4. Yeah this is basically what I'm thinking. The SAM (Ovie or Davis) would primarily be coming off the edge or stunting in this look, correct? He'll rarely be asked to carry a TE down the seam or drop back into a zone and cover slot guys.
  5. I don’t think we’re missing anyone specifically at that spot, and it would be pretty surprising if Gbena couldn’t beat him out there given the hype he was getting in the spring. I may be off base, but it sounds like that is the least important LB spot on the defense for the most part. Whoever wins the spot mostly won’t be on the field on 3rd downs or against obvious passing looks.
  6. He played WR at Lake Travis until Baldwin graduated, but he’s always been a qb. He’s probably had private coaching at that position since he was in the sixth grade.
  7. Tell me you don't spend any time in Southern California without telling me.
  8. Another press release from Bowlsby. He must be exhausted, poor guy isn't used to having to do any work on consecutive days.
  9. Fucking Brando. Most of the time announcers being biased against your team is pretty overblown but I've never seen anything like that last game he called. He was crushed that we came back and won that Tech game. At least Spencer Tillman went to OU, Brando is just a cunt.
  10. Opting out of his last two years of HS and announcing an Oregon commitment in conjunction with an exclusive Nike shoe line.
  11. Congrats to some of you old guys on your ability to navigate the intranets as well as you do. I went to earlier games but the first one I remember well is the RRS in '95, which was a tie. First game I remember at Memorial was later that season, a win against Baylor. My first game as a student was our opener against Louisiana Lafayette my first year on campus. We wore beautiful throwbacks, I drank way too much Southern Comfort before the game, and it was the start of a rather memorable season:
  12. Opting out and enrolling is a pretty good deal for Ewers but I can’t see this being an especially positive development for OSU really.
  13. Haha, yeah this is dumb. While it's probably generally true that the presidents won't want to testify, this thing is a LONG fucking way from that being a real concern for anyone. Both Universities have a ton of outs to avoid it before it gets anywhere close.
  14. Just sit back and watch those mouth breathers try and change the narrative that they allowed UT to enter the SEC because they kindly decided to save little brother from obscurity.
  15. I was actually lumping Looch, the administration, and the athletic department all together when I said "they". Functionally there is very little separation between TexAgs and the institution.
  16. Once you saw the shift in real-time where the Looch and the others started posting positively about the move and how it was actually a good thing this was clear. They got their marching orders and were told to shut the fuck up about it.
  17. Bowlsby's entire vibe here reminds me of that Office episode where Creed fucks up some quality control responsibility he has and bad paper goes out. - "and of course, the one year I blow it off, this happens..."
  18. IT confirmed that Perkins won't be visiting and will be at aggy on Saturday. A week ago Gerry was on the same site saying if Texas moves to the SEC they would be tough to beat. Now the SEC move looks inevitable and we can't even hold on to the scheduled visit. Life comes at you fast I guess.
  19. Ohio State is scheduled to open their Fall camp on Tuesday. I guess this move doesn't really have much to do with him getting into the mix to play in 2021, but I wonder if he will enroll and join the team right away. Assuming he'll go to the NFL as soon as possible OSU also gets one less year of eligibility from him given it's a stretch they would get much on the field from him this season. I'm sure this is the the easy part but also funny he can just decide to quit high school and enroll in college. Is there another summer session of Southlake for him to knock out the rest of his requirements or does he just get to inform them that he'd like his high school diploma now please.
  20. Yeah maybe so. My memory is that Colt was the presumed starter for game 1 because he had the year head start in the program and back then it was pretty rare for qbs to start from the jump as a true freshman, even big-time prospects. I sort of remember thinking Snead would get time and gradually take the role during the course of the season as the highly rated guy but that was 15 years ago so I could be wrong.
  21. Thanks, I forgot we had a dedicated thread for qb talk. I'll say, this feels like more of a true tossup than any qb battle at UT I can remember. We've had some hotly contested ones, especially by fans, but you usually had a pretty strong idea who would take the first snap in the first game. Even when dipshit reporters were running with obviously bad information. I have no idea who starts vs. ULaLa, it will really will come down to performance in the August practices. I don't think there is a wrong answer though, they can both be really successful in Sark's offense.
  22. IT QB battle talk: Nahlin sticking with his Hudson prediction but feels like like he's hedging a bit from earlier in the offseason.
