  1. 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.
  2. Aggies coming to grips w/ the portents of the likely schedule changes. Lulz. "Aggies' best chance is ... last year!"
  3. 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.)
  4. 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).
  5. 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."

  6. 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.)
  7. Lulz ... 'Ol jbsharbrough will not win any popularity contests in Aggieland.
  8. Thought this was a really interesting note on Dia Bell, from earlier this month.
  9. FROM YESTERDAY BEGINNING OF AUGUST Regarding Arch staying on at Texas, which scenario would most payers prefer: Scenario A (Arch leaves in 2026): As a 1st-year player in 2026, without any direct experience in Sark's system, trying to beat out a 3rd year Trey and a 2nd year KJ Lacey; or even more difficult, trying to beat out an incumbent in 2027 Scenario B (Arch leaves in 2027): Sit behind Arch and learn Sark's system in 2026, and then as a 2nd year guy, win an open competition vs 4th/3rd year Trey/Lacey (and one of them may have left by then) (Btw, I too think Arch stays; just spelling out the scenarios.)
  10. 👀 👀 👀 KJ Edwards to visit Texas (and LSU). ************************************************************************************* Elite Texas A&M commit eyeing fall visits to Texas, LSU Hank South (Horns 247) Edwards' father: "I said are you going to Texas for a game, I asked him yesterday, and he said yeah dad I still want to go. My whole thing — and I know they got the other running back committed, but we don't really focus on none of that — with him is if we need to go make some more games, I want to make sure when that time comes that you really feel like you made the best decision considering everything. "I actually talked to him this morning, it's a few games that Texas has that we're going to see about going." FULL ARTICLE
  11. "Probably?" :-)) (Clemson 247, referring to (the content of) the story on Horns 247.) I know, I know, it's FCB ... but ignore the click bait-y heading. Lots of quotes from Taaffe, Guilbeau, Joseph, LIttleton' mom, etc..). The Insider: The story of freshman Graceson Littleton and why he could end up starting in Texas' secondary In this week's Insider, we give you the story of freshman Graceson Littleton and why he could end up as a starter in Texas' secondary when the Longhorns open the season at Ohio State and take the field against All-American receiver Jeremiah Smith on Aug. 30. Chip Brown (Horns 247)
  12. Sark said "FUCK Vanilla!" at the end. No one knew why.
  13. Given Ohio State's level of talent, they may well be deciding between good options and end up being good at these positions, but it's interesting that multiple key positions on offense appear to be unsettled. If these reports are honest and accurate. Specifically, QUARTERBACK It's still supposedly a competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz. Sayin's good throws / inconsistency, vs. Kienholz's reliability / lower ceiling. LEFT TACKLE Their transfer tackle from Rice is apparently not a lock; they're considering Austin Siereveld (2 starts last year, played in most games, but mostly as a guard). RUNNING BACK Guess they have Peoples and transfer Donaldson splitting time, with others getting looks ... Donaldson played a bunch at WV, but in the aggregate, sounds like a far less established group relative to Judkins and Henderson last year. They appear thrilled w/ Klare (at least as a pass catcher) and their tight end group, and they of course have an elite set of WRs. And they discuss their good depth on defense, at positions other than DT. FULL ARTICLE Ohio State fall camp notebook: Week One What we're hearing coming out of the Buckeyes' preseason.
