  1. Sweed's catch in the 05 game is the stuff of legend, and rightfully so. A couple of other things are hardly ever even mentioned - - Pittman had 130 yards / 1 TD receiving - the other - the contribution that sticks in my mind - is that of Jamaal Charles, as a receiver. Charles had 6 catches for 69 yards. As a true freshman. In his second game as a longhorn. On the road, vs. Ohio State. And in his secondary role (receiving). Pretty remarkable. In this game, I'm hoping Baxter/Wisner, as receiving threats, can play a big role. Unless we fall significantly behind, I have a suspicion Sark will be conservative. Minimize risks/TOs and take what you get safely and easily on offense, instead of putting your OL and young QB under pressure (and testing their best defensive player). So I think they try to run it and use conservative throws, and in that scenario, Baxter and Wisner may get lots of looks as receivers.
  2. Dave Aranda ... lulz. This guy Matt responded w/ a story he had done in '23:
  3. Holy smokes ... quite something, when we look at it like this.
  4. Holy smokes ... can't believe these guys thought this made for a good tweet. The look, the demeanor, the talk, the tone ...
  5. So, FCB had the section below, in his note on the Horns 247 board. Has it been officially announced, that Texas' three annual opponents will be OU/Aggie/Arky? FCB makes it sound like a done deal ... and we know he's buds with CDC. Am sure he's at least tried to get the inside scoop from CDC. Wonder whether he inadvertently or intentionally put that in, after he heard that from Del Conte. Also, FYI - Karels on the Aggie board has mentioned multiple times that Jimbo Fisher revealed in '22 that Texas, LSU and Miss State were the three permanent opponents discussed then, for the Aggies.
  6. Aggies coming to grips w/ the portents of the likely schedule changes. Lulz. "Aggies' best chance is ... last year!"
  7. ESPN released a list of Top 100 college football players for the 2025 season. Texas has 6 players on the list. #1a. Parker MF'ing Livingstone!!! #2: Anthony Hill #11: Colin Simmons #23: Arch Manning #62: Malik Muhammad #64: Michael Taaffe #69: Tre Wisner (Note: All six of our players are guys Texas recruited out of high school, and developed.) OTHER TEAMS Clemson: 7 (#4: Klubnik, #6: Parker, #9 Woods) Penn State: 7 Ohio State: 5 (#1: Jeremiah Smith, #3: Caleb Downs) Notre Dame: 4 Georgia: 3 Texas A&M: 3 (York, Moss & Reed-Adams) Oklahoma: 1 (Mateer) (Teams such as Texas Tech and Georgia Tech have multiple players; Oklahoma has one, and he's a transfer they just got.)
  8. Gerry just said Goosby's injury was a hand issue - fingers caught in a jersey - could be wrapped, and goal was to get him back by beginning of next week; could possibly be back earlier than that. Gerry / Bobby didn't make too much of the moves - develop emergency depth - then wondered whether Sark would actually move Neto to LT in a game, if required. (If Goosby went down - just a hypothetical, people, nothing to do with the hand injury!) Speculated about whether Robertson could be the sixth-best OL (and so bringing him in causing the ripple effect on others ...). Gerry thought the depth at center was the best he had seen (or something positive to that effect).
  9. A few days ago, I had posted an article about how unsettled Ohio State was at a few key positions - the lines in particular - and CTJ has commented multiple times on that subject, as well. This is very interesting stuff. Posted today, and written from the perspective of going up against Texas in a couple of weeks. "With an eye on the Longhorns, the Scarlet and Gray have decided to reassess their offensive line combination. That doesn't mean Ohio State wouldn't have done this in other years, but facing the No. 1 team in the country—whom the Buckeyes just defeated in the College Football Playoff semifinal—and with the reigning Freshman of the Year at defensive end, will make any team question everything." COMPLETE ARTICLE
  10. I'll be so thrilled if this kid's back to 100%. What a boost it could be, to get an elite RB back. And he sounds like a great kid (esp. the last comment in the clip.)
