  1. Is Watts a massive corner, Overshown a small LB, or both? They look to be about the same size.
  2. Give me the QB who can literally hit open receivers with his eyes closed over the guy who practices full sprint off balance backfoot side arm bullshit throws.
  3. Greg Robinson
  4. I refuse to make predictions, but I just want to make a point about the QB competition. The Texas message boards have a loooong history of writing QBs off too soon, and Colt McCoy forever screwed up our expectations for freshman. VY flashed talent but was overall not great his first season. People wanted him to move to WR. Shane Buechele didn't appear to have what it took to succeed at the college level, and freshman Ehlinger had many people on this site thinking he was "simple". Card very well could develop here or he is another Buechele/Jerrod Heard. Ewers may be the greatest freshman ever or he may need to go through growing pains as well. All that goes to say that the only prediction I am willing to make is that we will likely need Card to let his nuts hang at several points throughout the season. He better have them ready.
  5. I was wondering the same thing. Do these TV companies have any kind of evaluation process for coaches or do they hire based on name recognition and assume they can train them up on the job?
  6. I don't care what an OL recruit weighs. Strength, athleticism, frame, work ethic, intelligence, and a "bad" attitude mean so much more.
  7. I get it. That's just one of my favorite jokes. I'm not very funny.
  8. It is always so very heartwarming to see people serving the more fortunate.
  9. Y'all remember two classes ago when we we failed to get commitments from Jack Leyrer, Ryan Lengyel, and Michael Myslinski? This is much more fun! God bless Kyle Flood.
  10. It would be great to add a talented edge rusher, but it needs to be the right guy for the right price. There's a bigger picture and team chemistry to consider that gets lost when we focus on one guy as a "savior".
  11. Omeire is worth holding onto even if he can just stay healthy long enough to play up to his potential for half a season.
  12. Who was the last freshman linebacker to get significant playing time? I don't recall prima donna vibes from his recruitment, but oh well. No reason to keep players who just expect success to be handed to them.
  13. Not sure where to post this, but sometimes you need to laugh through the pain. https://twitter.com/mrgo30/status/1448687438755508227?s=21
  14. You made me curious. His high school stadium has nearly exactly the same latitudinal coordinates as Boone Pickens stadium.
  15. We all know that Briles is on Liberty's short list for if they have to replace Hugh Freeze. They would throw him a welcome parade.
  16. This is the type of game scares you to death. We could wind up staring blankly into the void, win by 1, or go full AGNB. Seriously though, I'm sure Texas fans have lost a lot of money betting on our TCU games in the last decade. I think we'll be fine, but no way am I putting money on it.
  17. In other words, you're saying he was demonstrating how poorly coached they are. That's an unorthodox strategy.
  18. Our safeties remind me of Gideon...
  19. If tceh isn't going to let up neither should we. Our secondary is making this difficult to fully enjoy.
  20. I don't care what we win by. Or if we had one pick 6. The secondary is not looking good today.
  21. He should also be put in the slot some. The dude needs touches.
  22. I wonder if we will see any new yet predictable wrinkles to the offense this week (e.g. jet sweeps with Keilan Robinson, targeting the TEs up the middle, QB draws, RB screens, more first down passes, increased wildcat with Roschon etc.). On a similar note, I don't agree with some saying that we lack speed on offense. A package with Casey, Bijan, Keilan, Worthy, Moore, and Whittington is plenty fast.
  23. Our last three games in Lubbock were 7 or 8 point wins. Our last three games in Austin have been two fat ugly Ls and a 25 point win. Honestly, not to sound like mensa, but I will just be happy to win and look like a better team than what we saw in Fayetteville. Rice and ULL mean nothing now that it is conference season.
