    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
