  1. The hope that A&M's season would completely fall apart against the Arkansas, Kentucky, and South Carolina stretch didn't come to fruition, due to a combination of A&M being slightly better than expected, A&M getting extremely lucky in every game, and none of those teams having a functional passing game, or in arkansas' case, a functional anything. Kentucky has the worst P5 QB I've seen this year. 
    Alas, it's not a big deal because we're winning and killing all negative recruiting narratives, to the point that teams are now using the depth chart argument. 
    I'm not a believer in Jimbo being a championship winner in the SEC West, but they'll be a pain in the ass in regional recruiting for the forseable future. Luckily, our staff isn't beholden to only recruiting regionally. 



    TBF It seems like it never comes to fruition. Every year we always say they’re gonna do bad, but they don’t.
  2. If it really is a Grade 1 AC Sprain getting Sam back for that game is realistic.



    Some of the 9.95ers have been saying 3 weeks for him. Subtly, at least. He probably could play next week but seems like they may keep him out for pre cautionary reasons.
  3. 50/50. If we gameplan to Shane's style and/or get 1st team reps for Rising we have a pretty good chance of winning. If we play and call the game like we did yesterday, I hate our chances. OSU will be fired up, as most teams are to play Texas. If Sam is ready to go I think it might rise to 60/40 in our favor. 


    I don’t remember the exact quote but when ehlinger went down and rising became 2cnd string he asked Herman what he’s supposed to do. Maybe I’m blowing it out of proportion and I mean, he was 3rd string, but that’s kind of concerning.
  4. One thing the OSU defense is good at is getting sacks.  Other than that it's a whole lotta' meh'.

    Shane’s self sacks to make a comeback!


    The thing that worries me is if Shane plays against OSU is Herman going to gameplan around Shane? He wouldn’t last year. Luckily, OSU is not good so maybe they can get away with it.
  5. This.  Bragg is the biggest miss.  Fuck Stanford.

    I remember early in his recruitment maybe spring or even earlier IT kept saying if Texas pushed he’d be a longhorn. Also made other references that Texas was slow playing him. Not like there was better options but they weren’t pushing/rushing him. Idk exact wording but they made it sound like he could’ve been a longhorn a long time ago.
  6. Almost feel as if winning big may not have as much impact on 2019 class as it would have previous years. There were legit guys like  Browning, Dobbins who were  supposedly waiting to see how Texas did on the field and we shat the bed. THis year , suppose we have a 10 win season, I doubt guys like Leal, Demani etc. give us a 2nd look.


    Yep. It’s because there’s a shiny new 75 million dollar toy. Just like hermans 1st season didn’t impact the class. Next year though, will be interesting. A lot of kids are committing earlier too since you can take OV’s early. Which kind of hurts. Might’ve had a better chance with wilson if he waited to see that we actually throw the ball.
