  1. Ryan Wingo is WR1. I think Moore could turn into a solid player but he was pretty much just a guy last year. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great. His blocking ability was appreciated considering what we got out of Bond and Golden in that area.
  2. I don't think I ever thought to myself once this season, "Man, we need to involve DeAndre Moore more". 39 catches as the 4th or 5th pass-catching option in the offense seems about right. Hell, it felt like 75% of his production came on those wide-open fake screen wheel routes where there wasn't anyone within 10 yards of him.
  3. Rivals released their final top 250 for the 2025 class No.11 Justus Terry No.16 Jonah Williams No.19 Kaliq Lockett No.29 Lance Jackson No.45 KJ Lacey No.48 Jamie Ffrench No.71 Kade Phillips No.94 Daylan McCutcheon No.106 Michael Terry No.110 James Simon No.127 Graceson Littleton No.151 Josiah Sharma No.167 Bo Barnes No.192 Nick Townsend No.194 Myron Charles No.196 Nicolai Brooks No.241 Smith Orogbo
  4. Ohio State On3 mod said he would not be surprised if Carnell Tate explored the portal in search of a bigger payday and being WR1 elsewhere.
  5. Beat the Aggies Saturday and the path to the tournament becomes much clearer.
  6. Several jobs posted on the UT website
  7. That's the way I've always understood it. The script is used during normal game flow and down and distances. You obviously aren't using your script if your first play is 1st and 10 from your own 1 or you face a 3rd and 25 on your first possession. Teams and players also know the 3-4 bread-and-butter plays for certain situations heading into a game (4th and short, 2 point conversions, low and high red zone, shot plays, trick plays, etc). You've heard Sark say several times something to the effect of "Milwee and I decided Friday night that the first 3rd and short we are running X" or "we've had that trick play repped and ready for 3 weeks" or whatever it is.
  8. Updated junior day list, per 247
  9. The 'it hasn't happened in x years' argument would be a lot more convincing if more coaches did it. How many P5 coaches are good enough to be calling their own plays right now? 4? 5? So yes, by simple math, the odds are not in their favor. No one has done it since Jimbo Fimbo is also a really fancy way of saying if your name isn't Smart, Saban or Dabo, you probably don't have a title in the last 10 years. Again, I'm not totally against the idea but if the reasoning is doing it just because other people did it, that is a poor way to operate.
  10. Recency bias is a thing. Everyone sees what he did in one game last night and suddenly forgets that in the previous 15 games, he averaged 2.5 catches for 31 yards. His best football is ahead of him and he is a good player, but if he was from Bozeman, Montana and we didn't recruit him out of HS, no one would be wishcasting his transfer to Texas.
  11. Is the Day the first coach in history to be fired by half his fanbase then win the title a month later?
  12. After he was uber aggressive in the first half with his 4th down decisions. That was one of the worst turtle mode decisions I’ve ever seen.
  13. TD % was significantly better. Overall redzone scoring took a nosedive because our FG kicker decided to turn into Nick Rose.
  14. Running 9 times in a single drive tends to impact your ability to do basic QB things the rest of the game.
  15. Millett and Jordan were let go from their letter of intents back in the summer. Powell was a fall casualty along with Casey Cummings, Seth Werchan, Brandon Bertsch and Walker Polk.
  16. Gerry said tonight that if the tournament is missed this year it is “very dicey” for Terry. Reading between the lines and knowing the relationships he has in the program, that is his nice way of saying Terry would be gone.
  17. Louisiana will be interesting this cycle with where LSU is at. There is that DT we like as well out of Louisiana who named us his leader a few weeks back. The 2023 cycle seemed to be a wake up call to Kelly and LSU when quite a few high profile guys left the state. They have done better the last two classes at getting the dudes they want. Hiring a competent defensive staff probably helped too.
  18. Speaking of legacies, Kaydon Finley is apparently going to be at Notre Dame next weekend. Was at A&M last weekend. I’ve said it before but WR is going to be interesting this cycle. I’m assuming the number is 3-4? Already have Stewart committed and I’m sure we will go big game hunting for a guy or two.
  19. Confirmed for Junior day, per OTF. One of the top WR’s on the board https://www.on3.com/db/naeem-burroughs-157245/
  20. I think it was Bobby who mentioned a few months back that last offseason Gideon was a finalist for a couple of P5 DC gigs. I believe Mississippi State may have been one of the schools he mentioned, but I can't remember the others.
  21. 2024 salary and when their contract is up: Milwee- $600k, contract runs through February 2025 Choice- $700k, contract runs through February 2025 Jackson- $700k, contracts runs through February 2025 Flood- $1.3 million, contract runs through February 2027 Banks- $1.15 million, contract runs through February 2027 Kwiatkowski- $1.8 million, contract runs through February 2027 Baker- $550k, contract runs through February 2026 Nansen- $900k, contract runs through February 2026 Joseph- $825k, contract runs through February 2025 Gideon- $600k, contract runs through February 2025 Becton- $550k, contract runs through February 2026 I assume the guys with contracts expiring will get their new contracts approved next month at the BoR meeting. I think the rule is anything over $1 million in total contract value has to be approved.
  22. OB this morning I was told Texas’ Brandon Harris will become one of the highest-paid general managers in college football. One source said Harris will be paid more than $500,000—a significant increase from the $264,500 salary reported by USA Today in December. Additionally, multiple members of Sarkisian’s support staff will receive raises. Expect the specifics to be revealed in February when the Board of Regents meets (February 19–20).
