By pure volume in this thread, he is legion.

At this rate, lamentations over the transfer of Parker Livingstone are on track to reach levels previously attained only by the departure of Savion Red.

Parker Livingstone
This is a strange tangent that you are on. I have no inside information, but I know how to read and to reason. Texas wanted Livingstone back. He wanted more money than they offered and/or more playing time guarantees than they were able to give, so he opted out, as is his right. Getting all butt hurt over it and claiming that he was "pushed out" and "they" are lying about it is infantile and asinine.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
You are quite likely right. I'm an amateur when it comes to Xs and Os, but there was plenty in the play for me to appreciate. To my amateur eyes, the left side of the line is clearing defenders for Arch while pushing them right into the path of Clark. This would still be effective, however, if Arch had thrown the WR screen to Livingstone.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I agree except that the left side of the line appears to be blocking for Arch, not for Clark. Either way, it was an incredibly designed and executed play.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Yeah, it looks to have been designed with a legit option, but the line is blocking for Arch to keep it and Arch clearly intends to keep it. He was going all the way. Edit: It's amazing that every player on the offense executed that so well without having practiced it, Arch in particular, but Clark, Endries, and Livingstone all sold the fakes perfectly as well. Love Goosby's reaction! He gone!

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
https://x.com/espn/status/2006509995374829863 There are much better Xs and Os guys here on the board who probably saw all of this in real time, but this was a great play design by Sark and great execution by Arch and the entire offense. 1. First, Arch runs play-action to Clark. Notice how 6, 30, and 9 for Michigan all bite on the play-action. 2. At the same time, Endries motions outside and Livingstone drops in behind him, signaling WR screen and drawing the boundary defenders outside. 3. Number 6 for Michigan recovers and sets contain on Arch. 4. Arch then fakes the outside run, freezing 6, while simultaneously looking at Livingstone, showing WR screen, freezing the field-side defenders. 5. The left side of the O-line block down to seal the interior defense and create a lane down the center of the field. 6. Arch takes off up the middle and is gone for 60. That was a play-action, WR screen-fake, outside-run-fake, designed QB draw to the middle of the field and it was designed and executed perfectly.

That scheme with Kindle going around the tackle for a sack is SICK. Definitely hope to see more of that.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Caruso fouls repeatedly with the body then slaps across the arms with wild reach-ins on every shot attempt. He clearly fouled Wemby at least twice on the fadeaway. It's wild how he gets so much respect from the refs and announcers. He's just a bald, flailing foul-machine.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
You're not wrong to root for Baxter, of course. He's a Longhorn. The problem with keeping him on the roster is the same problem the Cowboys had for years with Ezekiel Elliott. He's a progress-stopper at this point. As long as he's on the team, he will inevitably get some carries that could have gone to someone better and those carries will most likely result in wasted plays/drives.

Sure we can. Tech plays a shitty schedule in a shit conference. Texas doesn't have an obligation to remedy that. Tech played Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State, and Oregon State this year out of conference and here you are whining that it's only because Texas, Alabama, and Georgia wouldn't play you. Boo hoo. There are about 250 teams somewhere in-between Georgia and Arkansas Pine-Bluff. If Tech is serious about addressing their shit schedule, instead of blaming big bad Texas, pick up the phone, start making calls, and schedule the best teams that you can OOC. But that's not what your administration did. They chose to schedule 3 flea-ridden shit bags OOC to go with your shitty in-conference schedule and you think that entitles you to come on here spouting about both ways. Get a grip and do a little self-reflection.

Woof, that's certainly a take. This Texas team, as of right now, isn't as good as the past two years, but in no way am I ready to concede that it would have no shot against Texas Tech or Oregon. Fans also like watching their teams play in the big show. We don't have to be the favorite to win it for me to want to see Texas get a shot.

Yeah, that's the point. The committee made a big deal all preseason about how they are going to reward SOS and not punish losses in marquee OOC matchups. That was obviously a load of hooey. Schedule only pushovers in OOC to inflate your record because that's all that matters--that's the message the committee is now sending.

Michigan has ZERO wins over a ranked team this year. Texas has 2. Michigan was handled easily by OU, whom we beat. Michigan lost to OU and was blown out by USC. Texas has lost @OSU, @GA and @UF. Don’t give me the close games argument. Michigan survived by 3 points again Nebraska, 5 points against Purdue, and 2 points against Northwestern. Why again should Michigan be ranked ahead of Texas? There is ZERO rational justification for doing so.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
We know, but Freeman has been mentioned several dozen times on this thread including about two seconds after I posted that:

Surly: Notre Dame's schedule is a joke. Beat 2 G5 teams and the sisters of the poor, lost to the only decent teams they've played, and still a shoe-in for the playoff. Also Surly: We need to go get Freeman.

2026 C Coleman Elkins
Nice to see Flood changing things up. Elkins has good feet for the position and longer arms will be a plus when he is called on to pull block the D-gap.
