  1. Tyler Atkinson will now take an OV this weekend.
  2. Bobby Burton If you don’t have the stomach for it, you shouldn’t follow recruiting. Texas lost one of its top running back targets yesterday to Texas A&M in Carthage’s KJ Edwards. Edward’s was long considered a Texas lean until other factors came into play. The Aggies are pushing the limits on NIL this year in recruiting with apparent little regard to the House Settlement. Have they found a loophole or work-around? Or are they confident the rules of engagement will change yet again by the time December’s signing period rolls around (not a bad bet IMO)? Whatever the case may be, it’s clear A&M is upping the ante. How Texas responds will tell the tale. Yet, it’s in times like these that I remember something Mack Brown told me 25 years ago. I’ll paraphrase here: “Focus on the ones you bring into the program. Not the ones you lost. At most, you’ll see the player you lost no more than four days in four years. But the ones you sign, you’ll see them every day. Focus on building those guys up.” Of course, Brown was no poor recruiter. And the better the talent on the way in to a program, the better chance a coach will have to “build” a special player and team. In sum, Texas fans should certainly register the losses - losses can tell us something - but the real focus should be on who Texas is adding to the class. Are those recruits, the ones who commit, good enough to win a national championship? If so, that’s what really matters, not the immediate feelings of loss or being jilted. In other words, you’re always going to lose some in recruiting. But it’s who you sign that matters most. ** For those looking for the “sky is falling” recruiting prophecy here, sorry you won’t get it. This has seemingly happened every summer of Sark’s tenure in Austin. And so far, Sark and his staff have navigated the rocky waters just fine.
  3. South beach fucking sucks. The rest of Miami is worse
  4. Biles is probably closest female Olympian to the conversation
  5. I think it was Mia Hamm until Serena overtook her.
  6. Half the big ten has sexual molestation scandals. You all liked the Michigan schedule and want to schedule again but…. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/19/1074071024/university-michigan-sexual-abuse-sports-doctor
  7. I think a difference this year than last is teams potentially writing the nil in terms of revenue sharing and making it lock the player in.
  8. Two RBs in this class seemed unlikely considering who we were recruiting and our current depth chart. Cooper has yet to lock in an OV so it appears we HAVE to go all in on Crowell to secure that commitment.
  9. Commitment Dates for June: June 19 – EDGE Dre Quinn June 21 – DL Vodney Cleveland June 26 – RB Ezavier Crowell June 27 – OT Malakai Lee June 29 – LB Xavier Griffin
  10. Saw this from a poster on OTF: "Sam Spiegelman of Rivals like Texas for Felix Ojo, Xavier Griffin, Dre Quinn, and Vodney Cleveland and is close to inputting a pick for Samari Matthews."
  11. On TexAgs after one of the shows they were pissed and said 25 of the last 27 years they've finished 8-4 or worse
  12. Teams I'd like to see us schedule: Arizona Boise St BYU Clemson Colorado Maryland Oregon Oregon St Penn St UCLA Utah Virginia Washington Washington St Wisconsin Kind of listed teams we haven't played recently in OOC such as Ohio St and Michigan as well as future opponents like Arizona St and Notre Dame that are already scheduled.
  13. Titles are the ultimate goal of sports especially at the collegiate level. It's funny you try to call me out for entitled title-ism when you had this post not too long ago:
  14. Keep in mind the BIG and SEC are working on a cross conference schedule for football.
  15. WTF does this have to do with OOC opponents we want to play? Take that shit to the Arch thread!
  16. KD is a fucking terrible addition to a team....
  17. I just don't think they'll be top 3 or potentially win a title. Is what it is...But if that's the expectation that guy is setting then if they don't achieve those it is failure.
  18. And if they don't achieve that then it's a massive failure.
  19. Yup....we will offer fewer scholarships and have fewer coaches and support staff than all the top programs. Flo doesn't appear to be trending well for us moving forward and I expect our men to continue to be ass while women continue to be average.
