  1. There's only been two 1.000 Mack got one, Sark got one...
  2. Just realized we got Ewer on the orginal schedule we were supposed to. He was a 2022 commitment for Texas, and here we are 2022 recruiting cycle. I can't wait for Wednesday. We may have a pleasant surprise or two.
  3. This and the BIG commit we got from the elite OL are the type of things we've been needing around here to get us pointed in the right direction... Elite players love playing with other Elites. All of a sudden you look at Texas and it has Bijan, Ewer, Worthy, and Banks, and Texas has elite skill players in critical positions, and recruiting big targets gets much easier... Great job.from Sark. He's starting to bring in talent at Macks level. We will see if he can coach or not, but he's obviously one hell of a recruiter..
  4. According to his 1.000 ranking (as a junior), yes. But Arch and family don't have a problem with Arch redshirting his first year. Eli redshirted. the Mannings are football royalty. Arch and the entire family know this is his career. And his value only goes up the better he is in college, riding pine for one year while learning the system is a plus long term, and Ewer will probably only be here 2 years before moving on.
  5. Banks starts day one even if we have to roll him out there in a wheelchair.
  6. I'm not sure which ones, but several recruits that were on campus yesterday were staying the night and going out last night with some of our guys.
  7. GO Army! Beat Navy! And while you're at it, swing by collie town and beat fake army too.
  8. Aggy is so fucked. New defensive.scheme and practically their entire defensive unit to replace. Curious to see how many decommit before Wednesday. This could be huge for Texas.
  9. I saw that post earlier and laughed my ass off. Aggy elite with practically a .500 average in SEC conference play. .500 in BIG 12 conference play. And .500 in SWC conference play. If that is elite, we must be gods
  10. They had something to fill some of that void space in their hall of champions and aggy'd it up... Whoop!
  11. I thought I was actually going to read an entire thread on aggyRus without the mention of tu... Almost did. Until the last post.
  12. So the state designs their costume? Did not know. FUCK! Now I have to run for governor. If I win, I swear on everything holy, I will have them wearing clown suits before I leave office.
  13. Rats looking to bail before Texas comes along and sinks the swag (row) boat.
  14. He's making an official visit this weekend and is supposed to make his announcement Monday. This weekend is supposed to be his last visit anywhere, and there are some rumors Evan Stewart is going to be with him this weekend. On a different note, Arch Manning and family are fine with a redshirt year wherever he goes. Eli redshirted his first year. The Manning's know there is no reason to rush things and a year learning the system before taking the reigns is nothing but a positive, and Quinn (more than likely) will only be at his next destination 2 years before moving to the next level.
  15. His breakthrough season last year had Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Auburn end the season with a winning record. Auburn was 1 game over .500 while the rest of the conference ended .500 or worse. Take away the 4 cupcakes they play each year and the SEC looks on par with everyone else... It would look even more lopsided if you gave the bottom half another loss and took a win away like they would have in a 9 game conference.... In fact you would probably see less perfect or one loss SEC teams at the end of the year. Common to drop an unexpected game to a conference rival than to a complete buy-a-win scrub late in the year.
  16. I have serious ??? about PK. I had them before the season started. The Pac has been down for as long as we have for the most part, so he seldom faced what he was going to on a weekly basis in the Big 12 (scheme and talent)... LR is going to kill it out there. Especially if we have one of the best defensive minds the Pac had to offer.
  17. No Keilan. No Worthy. Possible 4 dead QBs, and a Bijan in the portal.
  18. I agree. It's surprising we put up the numbers we did, especially after the injuries... And then this team broke mentally when it lost to OU the way it did. And I'm not sure any coach would have been able to fix that, maybe Saban, maybe not... Let a team even hint of a comeback and the mental mistakes began to pile up... I'm not saying Sark is the answer, but I'm not saying he isn't... 1 year with the shit show he inherited isn't enough for me to make up my mind. This year should give us an idea of what he is capable of bringing. Wednesday will be interesting. I'm curious to see how we do. So far I'm happy with what he's been able to do recruiting/retaining for us especially with what we've produced for almost a decade and a half now. We've had some whiffs (understandable), but he held onto Bijan, brought us Worthy, and if He lands Ewer, it could set us up for a better than expected class this year...
  19. All that also, but Ewer decommitting and going elsewhere was the final straw with a number of big cigars who got it done. But it wasn't like they really had to twist any arms. He was likely gone after this season either way seeing that neither QB we have would have thrived in his offense and Worthy is here because of Sark.
  20. The biggest reason Tom was fired when he did, has to do with the loss of Ewer. If he would have followed up the win vs the dawgs with a solid year, he would still be here. But since he sucked as a coach, he cost himself the job, just like the coach he replaced.
  21. I'm tired of the new coach smell. I'm ready for a coach who gets it done long term until he gets that classic coach smell.
  22. It will be interesting to see who all makes a visit to the 40 this weekend.
  23. My confidence is at 100%. In other news, the Pancake Factory is starting to get national attention. I expect money to pour in before signing day. Things are about to get real. It's time we put real substance behind "we're Texas".
  24. I would put the odds at 80% yes, but Ewer this generational type talent so practically everyone in the country is making a second chance run at him.
