Texas Roster 2026
Win any of tOSU, UGa, FLA and we're in. Nobody disputes this. Arguing about scheduling tOSU instead of Little Sisters of the Poor is pointless. The overall problem, which we mostly have ignored here, has been the paucity of the running game. The OL being inexperienced and lacking in skill was one part there, and we don't know if Flood is wholly at fault or if Sark just failed to OC him. I lean toward the latter, and it seems that Sark very well may have had some serious non-football problems in his life. The lack of quantity/quality in the RB room is, to me, even more damning. While there seemingly were obvious personal issues between some of the backs and the coach, these are HC/OC shortcomings - for picking the coach in the first place, and for not being aware of, or ignoring, issues. Ultimately the bottom line imo is that Sark gambled that Baxter would be ready to go, and Wisner would continue to overachieve... or at the very least that one of the others would step up. The only one who stepped up was Wisner. Baxter couldn't, and no one else apparently gave Sark confidence to even let them try more than a couple of carries. Color me a solid shade of approval for the tOSU schedule. You wanna be the best? Fucking play the best, and beat them. All in on playing the best, now let's win.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
The talking heads shoulda started swaying left and right with him. Not seen the like since Texas DC Todd Orlando. I guess he really can't stay in one place for long...

Texas RB Talk
Winning will cure a lot of that. With some hard work and an open wallet, we should be able to improve the run game. The operative word being "should"...

Texas RB Talk
It's too bad the HC was too busy babysitting PK to tell the OC to get on his RB coach and get Gibson some touches... bet the OC had a playset for Gibson. Townsend seems like a prospect for those max-pro sets with RB lining looking like a blocker.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
With no NCAA limit on coaching staff, it seems like we might oughta find someone who can teach receivers to block, and maybe instill a desire to find someone to hit... legally, of course.

2025 GameAbove Sports Bowl - Northwestern vs. Central Michigan
Miz Long noticed this game and was surprised to see a "bowl" featuring Northwestern and - checks notes - Central Meatchicken. She has a niece who's a Northwestern alumna but was not aware that they have a football team. She asked me to put some perspective on it, but the best I could come up with was Rice v. Tarleton State... I don't think that's too far off.

Can, yes; May he? Not per Sark. Portal entry is one-way street. Buh-bye.

Entering a not-yet open window is an interesting move.

Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Dead wrong. Dead FUCKING wrong. So many reasons that it's not even worth the time to list them all.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
As Claude said, fifty-some years ago, Notre Dame players are the only ones who have to take a pay cut when they go to the NFL after college. Not sure that's true any longer...

Tell me about Texas Tech
Conferences have already collapsed. Media controls the shambles that are left. The only thing that makes sense is for schools to separate D1A football from the rest of their "athletic" programs. Other sports may follow, but there's no urgent demand for that just yet.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Hmmmm... Welp, it's apparently true that no one has ever seen both of them at the Golden Corral at the same time.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Miz Long all over me on this thread... as a Drama major at Texas, she has a lifelong eye for words, and pointed out that my new motto here is easier to say and just as relevant: "Half tainted" I personally would rather go with "Half ass", but it lacks elegance as well as overall accuracy.
