  1. He is already walking it back cause it shouldn’t have been reported because technically he can’t have a headset that has a microphone for him to speak. “Legally” he can only listen.
  2. That makes perfect sense until you look at the other corner and it’s a 5’9 Jamison.
  3. Man I hope so. The thought of Jerin Thompson starting again this year worries me. People talk about Foster’s play last year but Thompson was pretty terrible too.
  4. I feel the exact same. To go further I wish we played Watts at safety and Crawford at corner. But the coaches want the best corner in the slot cause that’s where a lot of teams try to attack with their quickest WR. Watts at corner is because PK likes corners with length to play his version of cover 3. Also why Guilbeau was pushing Jamison so much in the spring. They want corners with length.
  5. Ol Drew is up in the PNW so it might be a little easier to get Derek in town to be set on fire. Tho there is going to be a lot of disappointed Surly members who were looking forward to your personal bonfire. Just make sure you put your card that is on file for the drinks in a safe place before you start the fire, whether it’s you or Tom’s whole initial staff that is getting the burn.
  6. No amount. You promised your Surly family you would shit out a solid gold football and set yourself on fire if Blue is still on the team Spring Game 2023. We are headed to an recession so just trying to get that gold football versus having to invest my own money in the gold market.
  7. If Texas wins 9 games and Blue is still on the team, next spring game is going to be epic.
  8. Speaking of Demas, did he ever find another school to transfer to?
  9. Arch might have the higher floor because of his training and pedigree, but Ewers ceiling is much higher. I think people are forgetting just how special Ewers’ arm is. I would rank Ewers higher if they were in the same class.
  10. Recruiting has gone very well for Texas and they have a chance to lock up the majority of the class before game one. In that situation there is not a lot of drama to drive site views and interactions. He just trying to stir up something.
  11. Agbo’s numbers surprised me as well. I just hope he has patience. I expect Williams and Banks to be ahead of him in his class at tackle. Hopefully he doesn’t mind redshirting and providing depth as career starts. Ross is smaller than I expected but IT also has reported that he is the best athlete out of the inside guys and may be able to move around some to find snaps. If Tapp and Finkley pan out as real players I’ll be happy as hell with the defensive class.
  12. Surprised in the weights for some of the freshmen DBs. That’s a big group but I expected Guilbeau to be listed as bigger than some of those other guys weight wise. Majors at 315 gives me some hope. If Tapp can keep that weight through fall camp he will be playing more than expected. If we ever get Big Cam down to 360 he is going to demolish people on the right side of that line.
  13. He wanted to stay and would have stayed if offered the opportunity. His dislike for Herman grew out of how Herman handled his “interview” and come in talking reckless to everybody associated with the program.
  14. Patterson has told multiple people in the coaching world that he was brought on to do two specific things. 1. Scout opponents defense 2. Scout our current defense and help Gideon and Joseph better merge the secondary with the front 6/7. They were duly aware that the front and back end didn’t mesh well. That hurt the team last year. At Washington Lake handled the DBs and understood what PK was trying to do. Patterson spends his time with Gideon and the secondary players. Focused on the backend during spring practice and added some coverages. I doubt we play the two high much and that’s the only thing that makes me have some hope. Still don’t think we are very athletic on the backend.
  15. We keep hearing that our coaches want more man coverage. Watts can press with his length but I don’t believe he has make up speed. Crawford does. Honestly I wanted Crawford and Barron to get the reps last year at corner. watts has a huge frame so him lurking over the middle from safety would be nice.
  16. I expect the use of a 3-3 front with Collins murphy Coburn Overshown Ford Tucker
  17. If Kitan is the athlete they keep hyping him up to be, I wish we would have kept him at corner and played Watts at safety. They keep making it seem like Thompson is going to hold on to one of the safety spots and I just don’t see much athleticism in a Thompson Cook duo.
  18. Did IT drop the team notes this past Friday? I need some more Kool-Aid in my life.
  19. Neto actually had a pretty bad official visit the Kansas game weekend, but NIL and Coach Gilbert saved that recruitment down the stretch.
  20. The Kool Aid strong. I’m going to need them to add a little water, it’s June. At this rate Texas will be better than an NFL team by the time the late July reports come in. I do like the news about big Cam tho. His expectations based on talks with the staff have always been you’re a tackle 100%. Now it’s up to him to get and keep the weight down.
  21. I get making the move to the 3-3-5 Stack out of necessity, but I’d honestly prefer PK run the scheme he knows. Year 1 was a wash and we need to learn will his system work at Texas and how well can he teach it. Him running another scheme will give the staff another excuse to not can him if our defense is below standard again.
  22. Chris has been an absolute stud for Texas. He saved a few really important recruitments last cycle. If he was a full time assistant who could go on the road he would instantly become one of our top 3 recruiters.
