  1. Eddie said he didn’t expect Ketch to pay up, he just bumped the tweet where Ketch offered the bet as a joke and to basically embarrass him. Then Ketch of course took it to another level and made a fool of himself.
  2. We would be favored over both on a neutral field. What about BYU’s season should scare opposing teams? They also have a QB who wears #47.
  3. If a 9-3 team with 3 top 10 wins doesn’t get in, I’d like to see the 9-3 resume that does get in once it eventually happens.
  4. Texas apparently has to go 3-2 vs 5 top 10 teams to make the playoff and have zero slip ups elsewhere. Meanwhile all Texas Tech has to do is go 2-1 against Utah, BYU and Arizona State and that is good enough to be ranked 7th. All Oregon has to do is split home games against Indiana and USC and is rewarded with a top 10 ranking. What a great system we have in this sport. OU plays Michigan out of conference and defeats Alabama on the road but gets ranked behind Texas Tech and their impressive non conference schedule of Kent State, Oregon State and Arkansas pine bluff.
  5. SEC bigs are going to have him on the bench early and often. It’s a huge concern with him. He was one of the most frequent foulers in the country last year playing in the AAC.
  6. Someone last week on a 9.95 site posted a list of recruits outside the top 1000 we’ve signed the last 10 years or so. A few more success stories than I would have thought. OL Devin Coleman RB/WR Savion Red OL Max Merril LB Jaylan Ford DL Sawyer Goram-Welch OL Sam Cosmi QB Matthew Merrick DE Breckyn Hager RB D'onta Foreman OL Elijah Rodriguez OL Alex Anderson
  7. Update from IT on 2026 guys Inside Texas delivers the latest from last weekend’s official visitors and where the 2026 class sits weeks from NSD in Monday’s Scoop. Richard Anderson, DL, New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr – LSU commit Catching up with sources, it appears the Longhorns shot their shot with the five-star LSU pledge. Anderson enjoyed the trip, interacting with coaches and staff, and seeing the game atmosphere. I’m told Anderson is likely waiting to see who LSU hires as its new head coach before making any decisions. With National Signing Day looming, this recruitment is one to monitor closely. Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzalez (La.) East Ascension – LSU commit Martinez and his mother thoroughly enjoyed their Austin trip, sources tell IT. But this is a complicated recruitment in that there are different factors on and off the field. His proximity to Baton Rouge isn’t as his important as proximity to his family. I’m told if Martinez did flip, there’s a good chance some of his family might move to Austin too. Right now, its LSU or Texas. And the Horns continue to recruit and evaluate the Uber athletic four-star OT. Kaden Scherer, OT, Georgetown (Texas) – Stanford commit I like Texas’ chances of flipping the Cen-Tex three-star. He told Inside Texas we could see a decision over the next few days. Rocky Cummings, LB, Carlsbad (Calif.) – Cal commit I love the chances of flipping the Cal three-star LB commit. We expect a decision on Wednesday for the West coast senior riser. He’d be an excellent floor joining Tyler Atkinson and Kosi Okpala. Josiah Vilmael, DB, Richmond (Texas) Fort Bend Travis Texas really likes the Fort Bend product, who took his official visit to UT this weekend, but we believe they want to see Toray Davis before waving anyone in. Toray Davis, CB, Boulder (Colo.) Fairview – UCLA commit Davis rescheduled his official visit to Austin for this weekend for the Texas A&M game. We can see Texas taking one of Davis or Vilmael.
  8. A quick google search brings up these 2026 schedules Vandy: NC State, Austin Peay, Delaware Missouri: Arkansas Pine Bluff, Troy, Kansas Auburn: Baylor, Southern Miss, Jacksonville State Ole Miss: Charlotte and Wofford (don’t have a third team scheduled yet) Miss State: ULM, Minnesota, Troy
  9. West Coast recruiting guy for On3 on Rocky Cummings Great visit for Cummings and safe to say Texas is in a VERY good spot. He still needs to talk with Cal coaches and wants to wait until after his Championship game on Tuesday to put anything out so look for an announcement from him sometime Wednesday.
  10. You are giving the committee too much credit in how deep they actually analyze this stuff.
  11. Is Alabama going to get in at 10-2 with a loss just as bad as Texas’? If the answer is yes, then don’t blame the Florida loss for Texas not getting in at 9-3.
  12. There seems to be this assumption that every team in the playoff must be a quality team. We watched the lower seeded teams get the crap kicked out of them last year. In a 12 team playoff, you are still going to have only 4-5 teams who actually have a realistic shot at winning the title. Will be same if they expand to 16. No #11 or #12 seed “deserves” to be in the playoff. They are ranked in that range for a reason.
  13. We demand our coach lead us to the playoff every year, then voluntarily make that path more difficult despite the fact the committee tells us all they care about is the number of losses. We played 5 top 10 teams this year, yet want to blame our playoff positioning on Florida, a team who led Georgia in the 4th quarter, and treat it as if we lost to some FCS opponent. All this while we watch Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon and Indiana play complete creampuffs out conference. We played more top 10 opponents than those 4 teams combined. The double standard is insane. Texas is apparently required to win 3 games against top 10 opponents and not slip up in any other game in order to make the playoff, while other programs play 1 or 2 games a year they could realistically lose.
  14. If they actually cared about stuff like strength of schedule, non-conference scheduling and who you beat, OU wouldn’t be behind teams like Oregon and Texas Tech. All the committee cares about is the number in the loss column. If you aren’t doing everything in your power in your scheduling to ensure that number can be as low as possible, you are putting your program at a disadvantage.
  15. Lol what? We’d be top 10 easily. 9-2 OU, who we killed on a neutral field, is #8.
  16. Visiting tomorrow, per On3 https://247sports.com/player/rocky-cummings-46155040/
  17. Toughest non-conference game he's played in 6 seasons at Ole Miss is against Tulane. 20-0 out of conference
  18. Great coordinators don’t require specific position coaches in order to succeed. It is your job to coordinate the defense. You are being paid $2 million. Front 7, back end, blitz packages, everything. It’s ridiculous PK has coached football for almost 40 years yet apparently needs some special voice in the secondary in order to properly function.
  19. Well now I’m not sure I want that to be my opinion
  20. Thinking out loud here, but I wonder if we are going to see more programs doing a 'stars and scrubs' like recruiting approach when building out their HS classes. For example, I see Alabama has 23 total commits and 9 players ranked inside the top 100. They also have 10 3-stars. That is over 80% of their class. Texas has 18 commits, excluding specialists. 6 players in the top 60 and 5 3-stars. That represents a good chunk of the class. There might be value in devoting almost all your resources towards the top-end of the class and filling out the rest with more developmental guys who won't command much NIL vs trying to navigate the mid/low 4-star range, where guys are likely to command more money but also likely to require some of the same development time as a 3-star would.
  21. He is a college kicker at the P4 level. He should be putting the ball through the uprights at a 75+% clip on pretty much anything under 50 yards. You shouldn't need a vote of confidence from your coach to do that. Trying to blame that on anyone other than himself is just excuse-making.
  22. Or was he continually going for it on 4th down because his kicker wasn't good? 6-14 from 40+ yards....I'd be going for it more too. Did Mario Cristobal also mindfuck him? Is that why Auburn went to Miami and then lost the kicking battle to a FAU transfer that went 2 for 7 in 2024?
  23. Leading freshman receiver this year: Ohio State- Quincy Porter (3 catches) Bama- Lotzeir Brooks (20 catches) Auburn- 0 catches from freshmen receivers USC- DJ Jordan (5 catches) Georgia- Sacovie White-Helton (6 catches) A&M- Ashton Bethel-Roman (12 catches) Should I keep going? Yes, if you have Jeremiah Smith or Dakorien Moore, they will play a lot. I wouldn't consider Kaliq Lockett or Jaime Ffrench either of those guys.
