Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Right on. I am asking seriously as I don’t know. We all agree our linebacker play sucks. Where in the hell is D.J. Harris? He was 2 time all state, top 200 ranked national recruit. He chose us over aggy and another meltdown!! One of signing day descriptions…blazing speed, natural instincts. I just don’t get why we can’t get athletes off the sideline and on the field. KRob? Get the ATHLETES we have on the damn field. Spend a hell of a lot more time coaching with up athletes rather fooling with slow want to be than walk-ons. Crap

Texas O-line talk
One thing we don’t talk about or perceive to be an issue is how difficult it is to recruit really solid, no miss O linemen. It is much easier, coming from a more robust pool, to recruit quality running backs or Qbs than truly sure fire big butts. Looking where we are today, it is evident we have done a horrific job and probably been a tad unlucky with recruiting. Look back the last 2-3 years at the recruits we all thought we had to bring in, that we missed out on, who have been busts or are not seeing much playing time now. Bottom line? Line coaches have to work their butts off. Too many of them are lazy or have weird personalities that hinder talking to and gaining relationships with recruits. You see examples of freshmen who come in and start playing right away. They are athletic freaks and are very very rare. As already discussed here, none of those guys are available in the portal. Most O linemen have to be developed and this is still where coaches earn their money. Some can, some can’t. We will see what we have at Texas in 2-3 years and that timeline will be almost impossible to speed up.

I hear what you are saying and when I look at what we are putting on the field I agree.

[Game Thread] Texas vs. ou - 11am on ABC
Agree with you T. I do wonder why we stopped those innovative quick toss motion sweeps. Our first couple of series we had OU confused. In second half everything seemed like straight handoff with the occasional counter. Plus Still wonder why so little KRob.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Agree totally. But is our problem talent or coaching? If they are playing because those two are our best options with available talent. That sucks. If they are playing because a coach has a burr up his ass, that sucks even more.

The main reason we would even be considered moving to SEC involves ESPN v Fox money battles. Don’t doubt it, but good for Longhorns. Hook’em!!

I’ve been thinking this is a great chance for SEC to stick it in little Aggy ass. Given the chance, I think they will

I knew she was leading career hits leader. I guess that is why I thought she had to be a senior. I’ve had her a senior in my mind all year. I love her grit.
