  1. Don’t give a damn about hype. Beat the Buckeyes on the road, and they’ll earn that respect properly (that’s not going to be easy, and yes, it might not happen in Arch’s 1st start as Longhorns #1 QB). Lose that stiff road test, and expectations will fall, at least a little, before the calendar even turns to September though there will be plenty of time and opportunities to earn them back before the CFP is seeded
  2. Any Best Ball drafters out there? Who are your late RD sleepers/go-to’s for 2025 drafts? I typically use DraftKings (20) Round drafts. So far, I’ve found myself drafting a lot of Rams TE (Higbee/Ferguson) as my TE3 often around RD19. Eli Mitchell on the Chiefs has been someone I’ve targeted as an RB6 in the last RD, WR DeVaughn Vele w/ that last pick as well. How do you feel about injured Aiyuk as a WR5 oft-drafted between picks 105-115?
  3. No, but I would certainly find a place for him on the staff if he was at all interested
  4. Nah, I think he’s got a target on his back with both the national media and college football fans just itching to tear him down. Hope I’m wrong

  6. Yeah, I thought Quinn should’ve stayed benched after Georgia, and it’s not because I was sold that Arch was a sure-fire better solution (frankly, Georgia dominated both our QBs along with our line). It’s because I absolutely thought this was a championship-caliber Longhorn team, I had seen enough of Quinn to doubt he could carry the team all the way, maybe Arch could, and the time to find out was the remaining schedule before the playoff. I didn’t think you wanted to be in a situation where Quinn was benched in the playoff asking Arch to carry you with less reps. Regarding Arch: I worry that the expectations are way too high. It feels like anything short of a Heisman and/or a natty is a failure, and those are obviously extremely lofty for a team that just saw 4 pass rushers and 3 O-linemen get drafted
  7. If you’re down by a TD with 2min left, do you feel confident in Quinn Ewers delivering the ‘W’? Does the team? I sure as hell didn’t, and apparently the NFL doesn’t either. Does that mean Ewers is garbage? No. We’re talking about striving to be one of the elite of the elite here. We’re talking about the mountain top. What typically gets drafted in a given year?……. a dozen QBs on average? And how many of those REALLY have expectations?……2 to 5 in a given year? Quinn’s never been that guy. Early in his Longhorns career, you could hope it was youth and inexperience. Last year was the time to bloom, and the dude just came up short. His draft stock fell consistently from August to January. The Dolphins QB room is currently Tua w/ Zach Wilson and Ewers waiting for the inevitable concussion for their opportunity. There are certainly worse situations for a 7th RD QB to have fallen into. The league has already decided the former #2 pick, Wilson, is a backup NFL QB at best. If Quinn can’t beat him out for the #2 spot, that will say volumes
  8. Majors maybe
  9. Good Lord is Arch going to struggle to live up to expectations. The expectations seem to be “Win the Heisman”, “Win the Natty”, “be the 1st pick in the draft”.
  10. Just like Tom Brady 😁
  11. There it is. And not a bad spot either with Tua’s concussion situation
