TCU wins match 1, 2, and a nail biter at 4 (15-13 in the third set). Texas wins match 3.

who knows? But former ref Terry McAulay seems to believe it is true - it is plausible he'd know/be in circles that would independently know.

That was my feel too. Think it was Gerry H who said that Stewart has yet to attend a Texas football game with his uniform on. Maybe this "emergency" dates back to August, I don't know.
I left out that they also said he's been in concussion protocol "for a few weeks". Seems strange that he wasn't ever listed on the weekly injury report, and still isn't, but I admittedly don't know the rules on who has to go on there.
they don't list Cojoe in the injury reports either. They seem to not list players who will be out for the year.

comment: my first thought about seeing stroh on the list is he has been told he's shirting and portaling
and if that's the case, his demise is not his fault
Stroh has a legit injury.

The issue with Brooks wasn't just the DWI, but the statements he made to police that put the program in a bad light. He said he was coming from a club that made exceptions for UT players under 21 and that he was going to escort two recruits to a strip club.

I'll be stunned if Stewart is still with the program next year.

I think this is overkill. The culture has been great since he cleaned house in 2021 or so. Bijan and Rojo set the tone and most players that have followed have upheld it. Arch needs to make sure it stays consistent. As do veterans like Taaffe and Hill.
What is your basis for knowing the bolded?
I listened to the Tony Hills rant and he is 100% spot on.

In the NFL you can be 10-7, make the playoffs, and win the Super Bowl. It is good to not get too high or too low during the season and take a detached perspective.
College is not the NFL. Attitude reflects leadership, and that first quote should be rage inducing for anyone who cares about Texas football.
This staff badly needs another Bo Davis type figure.

I think it is now clear that the NFL style program that Sark has sought to implement is a massive failure. NFL players are grown men who have made it through the college ranks as elite players, and with small roster sizes most players have to scratch and claw to obtain and maintain their roster spot. They have the maturity and professionalism to handle a professional mindset.
Sark has said to anyone who will listen that Texas was going to pace themselves to prepare for a 16 game season. Implicit in that is that Texas will, naturally of course - by virtue of how highly ranked and outlandishly talented the players are - make the playoff. The regular season is for preparing to peak in the post season. They ditched the spring game. They eased up on fall camp. They've been less physical in practice. Sark openly talks about wanting to avoid running the team down, wanting to avoid injuries. There is some wisdom in that, but wherever the ideal balance is, Texas is far away from that.
That works in the NFL with professionals. We're learning that doesn't work with college players. It creates a soft culture. Players who aren't finished products but act like they are.
There were a handful of players who left it all on the field Saturday. The majority were largely indifferent. Attitude reflects leadership. This is a self inflicted lost year. I hope adjustments are made and the program gets back to acting like wins are earned and not assumed.

I was thinking the same thing.

To be fair, the refs were so surprised a Texas running back turned the corner it was natural to assume it had to be holding.

You should do a little digging on Florida/Tennessee while Peyton was QB - in particular Spurrier's comments toward Tennessee.
If there is some kind of Manning ban on rivals - and I'm skeptical there is - then Florida would most definitely be off the list.

thats weak and lazy and in denial. our girls are not good. watch them one on one against an opposing player, on offense or defense, either way they rarely win those matches. has nothing to do with coaching. our girls are not good.
You realize you are talking about college players and not the national team, right? These players aren't professionals, they are young players who need to be developed. A huge part of development is instilling standards, cultivating competitiveness, demanding effort, etc. All the observations of the team that you decry are symptoms of poor coaching.

Sark knows that the kid is dual-sport and probably treats him as a football player accordingly. I guarantee Schloss would say something if Jonah got thrown out there for punt duties - whether or not it's his decision at the end of the day.
Schloss has in mind football when handling Williams, and the hamstring issues were definitely cause for concern for baseball staff because of the possible impact on football.
Sark pays no mind about baseball when it comes to how to deploy Williams, and baseball isn't going to say a peep about it.

If both players didn't go to Texas, then the Skinner sisters have to be way up there.
Petersens and Cabellos don't have anyone of Torey Stafford's stature, but they're doing pretty good for themselves as well. That's just recently.
Also, Eggleston's sister started at Cincinnati.
I mean both sisters playing for Texas.
-
probably a question for @Js1, but where to the Stafford sisters rank as best Longhorn sister tandem?

Loved her in 2022 as a complement to Logan and then in 2023, but something felt super off about her in 2024. Her outside of volleyball stuff seemed to interest her a lot more
Skinner absolutely tanked team chemistry last year, starting in the summer before the season.

Caution Lies Ahead for Several Texas Starters vs. UTEP (Tuesday AM) - CJ
Caution Lies Ahead for Several Texas Starters vs. UTEP (Tuesday AM)
By CJ Vogel
- 40 minutes ago
We will see just how cautious Texas is this upcoming weekend against UTEP, but there is a real possibility Texas sidelines a couple of key pieces this weekend.
***
Steve Sarkisian told media on Monday RB Tre Wisner would be considered DOUBTFUL for Saturday's game. Wisner has been dinged up for a couple of weeks, and these non-conference games are looked at as an opportunity to get fully healthy.
“I’d probably say today, he’s doubtful,” Sarkisian said. “I’m not ruling him out. At this juncture of the season, I’m just not in a rush to push guys back out there if they’re not as close to 100% or closer. I just know how long this thing goes. I know what it’s going to look like in October, November, December, and hopefully January. Is the juice worth the squeeze?"
Sarkisian called Wisner's ailment a "leg injury" but also viewed the sidelining of the SEC's lone 1,000-yard rusher to return in 2025 as an opportunity to get the ball in the hands of Christian Clark and Jerrick Gibson.
***
WR DeAndre Moore did not practice on Monday, OTF has learned. Moore left in the 2nd quarter with what appeared to be a shoulder injury following a quick reception on a missile screen.
Moore was taken to the injury tent, and eventually left for the locker room. The belief is Texas will be uber cautious with the 3rd year WR in regards to Moore's availability or usage in week three.
Another name to monitor is DB Michael Taaffe, who was seen limping pretty significantly leaving the facility following the Longhorns' victory over San Jose State. His current status for Saturday is unknown, however it should not come as a surprise on Saturday if Taaffe is limited.
Texas was without DL Alex January on Saturday for the week two home opener, and with SEC play on the horizon, the expectation is the Longhorns continue to be very cautious with the 2nd year standout for this upcoming weekend.
EDGE Colin Simmons gave Texas fans a scare on Saturday as he went down with injury to begin the 4th quarter. As you would expect, Texas will be cautious with Simmons. No indication one way or the other on what to expect for this weekend, but Simmons was seen running off the field smiling on Saturday following the final buzzer of the 4th quarter.

the plan was always 2 years with Arch and the NFL. This just accelerates it.
