  1. I fucked up gentlemen…. Flying in Saturday morning at 9AM. Miss the HH the night before.
  2. I’m with you. I think many are pointing to our “soft NFL offseason” where we didn’t really hit in practice too much, because we were planning for all of the CFP games we were gonna play this year. Hard to know which of the big uglies are good if they aren’t battling good on good. As an aside, I went to the same high school and graduated same year as Ian Boyd. I think we had a debate class together senior year. Happy for him that he’s able to make a living writing/providing analysis on Texas football.
  3. I’m not convinced of that just yet. OL to me is holding back the entirety of the offense. WR is not as good as it should be, but Mosley looks plenty serviceable now that we know he exists and Livingstone has been $$$. Moore has been good when he can play and he’s a solid blocker and good route runner. Wingo needs better route running and to attack the damn ball like his DB stole his woman or NIL paycheck or something. I think Wingo with his head on straight and consistent changes the narrative here greatly. TE I think we’re in a pretty good place. Put me in the camp of wanting to see more Nick Townsend, Jordan Washington and Emaree Winston instead of Spencer Shannon. Townsend has shown he’s a man from kick out block #1. Throw the damn ball to Endries. RB, I feel we’re not playing the right guys. Baxter returning from injury 100% was gonna be difficult to count on and should have been glaringly obvious. That said, hard to get a top transfer RB when you have a 1k rusher returning healthy (before camp). Wisner is pretty good, but is much better at OZ which we can’t block. We have what looks to be a tremendous amount of upside in James Simon. If he doesn’t tote the rock 10 times against OU that’s criminal. Gibson, his fumble notwithstanding, has looked good this year and needs to see some carries with Wisner and Baxter on the sidelines. I want to like Christian Clark more, but I just don’t see it. With a shitty OL, I don’t feel you have as much liberty to dance behind the line of scrimmage to find a hole like Clark seems to like to do.
  4. We’re talking about recruiting and while it would be stupid to rely on a true freshman to start, we did lose John Mills right at the last minute last cycle and he’s been great starting for Washington at Guard. To me LG is our biggest issue and if Mills were to be starting there for us, I have a hard time believing we aren’t going into Red River with at worst 1 loss and in the top 10. That said, the fact that we’d need to rely on a true freshman being the difference maker is failing the sniff test. I don’t understand how we know Arch is starting in 2025 at least 2 years in advance and how we don’t get him an oline that doesn’t get him killed in his first SEC game as QB1. Only silver lining is maybe this blood letting needs to happen so OL is one of the most consistently prioritized groups from an NIL perspective, just after QB and DL?
  5. Why did we bring Stroh back in? Nick Brooks was playing LG and looked pretty good doing it.
  6. You’re the man imma. Will be at Athens. Wish I could be there for this one.
  7. 8 straight weeks of conference games let’s fuckin go!
  8. I think you mean -20 on the spread. Most sportsbooks have alternate spreads. Fan Duel has Texas -19.5 for +440.
  9. Where is “Gainsville”? Can’t seem to find it on the map.
  10. Haha that damn jingle. Annoying then. Makes me feel at home now remembering. Gattis on 620 west of 183 with the theater room and arcade was a favorite growing up. Don’t think it’s there anymore. Also hell yeah Mosley exists!
  11. I wonder if he even knows what the FCB means. Chip has to read the Surl, right?
  12. I thought and posted the same thing during San Jose State. Dude gets a lot of airtime.
  13. Kept happening to me too… took me way too long to figure out the switch to SECN+ stream, but it worked. I thought the game would eventually play post commercial and I’d be behind and okay with that. Missed the first 6:30 of the 2nd. Not fucking happy about it.
  14. “Brutal SEC schedule” *facepalm*
  15. Download the ESPN app on your TV, authorize DirectTV within ESPN app, select Texas v SHSU
  16. Do sports fans really not have a TV sub that has SECN in the plan?
  17. Haha let’s go
  18. Neither can Raiola. Don’t jinx this for me. Need Corn for a nice parlay hit.
  19. PFF does say Neto has played better in the limited action he’s received, but that’s not hard with the level of play Stroh has put out there. Maybe Neto really really sucks in practice. I just know that if we continue to try and run zone blocking scheme with our current OL beyond games that we’re just testing the team to see what we can execute, it’s gonna be a long fucking season. Hoping Simon doesn’t require zone blocking to be effective.
  20. I think the issue as has been stated a handful of times here and OTF is Neto is a loose cannon. Apparently they can’t trust him to control his aggression. Given where things are, I don’t see how we don’t make that trade off, especially given the potential of his aggression being a positive influence on the OL (get fucking mean), even if it means a 15 yarder every other game.
  21. Bobby Burton’s lost offspring
  22. The look on Sark’s face right then said it all haha
  23. Haha wow
  24. Thinking because Arch isn’t good in short game accuracy? Even if he gets it to the receiver, his placement is critical to YAC.
