    I hope they add "The Eyes of Texas” was most probably debuted in blackface" to the freshmen orientation tour. I'm sure that will get new longhorns excited about joining the tradition.  

    I hope they add that The University of Texas was founded by racist individuals with much more direct connections than the Eyes have. I'm sure that will get new longhorns excited about enrolling at the school.

       I hadn't seen this, but I am gonna comment on it anyway.

       Back on the Shag I was arguing with Chris Applewhite and the usual dicks that run everyone off the football board about this very topic. I mentioned that Tom Brady had a much stronger arm than anyone thought based on a few particular throws and his ball never fell off in cold weather like Manning's did. These clowns were laughing and talking shit for pages, talking about his arm is weak, and he would be exposed if he went somewhere else. As usual I get the last laugh. Brady is a fucking monster. First year out of the gate and he already has a perennial dumpster fire like Tampa in the Super Bowl. GOAT.

    This story, especially the bolded part = usernamechecksout

    No clue. I’ve never had season tickets before and never looked into it. I have to think we will, with the contribution levels plus this. All of the sudden, my wife is hoping/expecting that we’re going to the RRS this year, so we better get a look. 

    You get OU tickets for ~$150 each, with locations based on loyalty points. Given the 150k capital contribution, you’ll be in a great spot!

    Okay, now that tOSU has secured their CFB Playoff slot is there any reason to delay an "Urban's hired" announcement? Discuss

    Sport GIFs & random things: Urban Meyer creepy reaction

    Is this a serious question? They still have games to play...

    SCENARIO 3/3.5

    We’ve been urging patience regarding coaching resolution and will continue to do so. So will our sources.

    “I just know nothing will happen until after New Years.” - high level source to @Bobby Burton.

    Inside Texas has heard the same from two other quality sources this week. As the echoes of the Scenario 1 death rattle pings through Bellmont Hall’s....er, halls, Scenario 3 (search for a commoner) and 3.5 (search for an upper-middle class candidate) are in the developmental stages.

    Urban Meyer declining his invitation to coach at Texas did two things:

    1) It prolonged the search timeline. This is obvious but also requires explanation. We won’t say all the eggs were in that basket but all of the effort required to pull that hire off was, and landing him was the only time sensitive acquisition out there given the positive effects it would have had on recruiting. Also, he didn’t have a real job and could have left the TV set at any time. That was a unique circumstance the other candidates don’t find themselves in.

    2) It scattered the BB’s ever so slightly. That was foretold to happen in these very pages if Texas missed on Meyer. That brief scattering on the floor was cleaned up before it led to too many embarrassing slip ups like the Wet Bandits trying to burgle. Maybe we’ll return to that topic in a retrospective but for now it should be accepted as positive news.

    Thinags could change with a couple public declinations, but for now this is not resembling disorganization or a circus.

    When Meyer declined it guaranteed nothing would happen soon. Both the unrealistic and realistic candidates are all still coaching for titles of varying prestige.

    The belief behind the scenes is that time is an ally. Fans — short for fanatics — will disagree, but if the goal is to make a great hire then sure and steady is the way things have to be. From what we can gather, none of the decision makers view Texas as being in desperation mode. You’re not going to see what’s occurring at Auburn occurring at Texas. Even Greg Fenves understood how to handle transition.

    We’ve been told any names that are circling are speculation, but we’ve heard one name more frequently than the others. You’ll understandably want a name but if you take a step back I’m sure you’ll understand why we can’t give it yet. It would undoubtedly be a good hire but there’s a long way to go. No, we’re not trying to drum up subs or some other nonsense. Keeping the name quiet hurts us in that regard, but it does allow the school to operate in relative silence.

    The trilateral commission (AD, president, and BOR) is cognizant of the fact some quality coaches will want to use Texas to get a raise. That will be difficult to do because there is no opening. However, talks could progress to a point a candidate has an offer from Texas as well as his current school and will have to make a choice. That’s the gamble but it happens every day in the real world.

    The belief is if they handle the process correctly, it will yield greater results than haphazardly shooting boatloads of money out of a t-shirt cannon in the general direction of well known coaches.

    TEAM

    Texas returned to practice on Tuesday and again on Thursday. It was more of ‘back to basics’ as the team had restricted workouts during the team’s COVID issues last week. The next team practice is to be determined.

    The team will learn its potential bowl location and opponent on Sunday. The most likely destination is the Cheez It Bowl or the Alamo Bowl for a team that will look very different from the last time we saw it.

    Sam Cosmi, Caden Sterns, Chris Brown, and Joseph Ossai have all opted out and are preparing for the NFL Draft. It’s an opportunity for the younger players to put out good film heading into the spring.

    With Cosmi out and Derek Kerstetter's injury, the offensive line continues to shuffle. The current projection from left-to-right: Karic-Angilau-Majors-Jones-Okafor. But there will be more shuffling.

    We’re seeing more Andrej Karic at left tackle after his play versus Kansas State. Christian Jones has moved to RG, with Okafor moving the other direction to RT. We’re also hearing Tyler Johnson has been working at RG/RT and true freshman Jaylen Garth has been at RT. Garth has been at full strength the last two weeks and hopes to finish strong and be in a position to contribute in 2021.

    At wide receiver, Brennan Eagles remains uncertain of his return or declaring for the draft. Marcus Washington is another player not guaranteed to return.

    Jared Wiley’s shoulder continues to mend and his availability for the bowl game is uncertain.

    On defense, you’ll see more Jett Bush at jack, Jerrin Thompson at field safety, and Kitan Crawford at corner. BJ Foster is still nursing what we believe is a hamstring injury.

    IT has learned Texas could lose a young defensive back to the Portal soon after the addition of McNeese State grad transfer Darion Dunn. It’s a player who might have contributed in a more minor role next year.

    Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown continues to weigh his options on returning for his senior year.

    On the offensive line, Derek Kerstetter and Denzel Okafor have yet to decide if they’ll return for 2021. Willie Tyler, who opted out earlier in the year, may also return but is undecided.

    One of the few areas of concern on defense next year will be defensive end. Moro Ojomo, playing out of position, came on strong, but the team could use more burst off the edge. Jacoby Jones is undecided on his return (we think it’s possible, if not likely) but we’ve heard Marqez Bimage is expected back.
