    OU only has 38 scholarship players on the roster on defense for 2020,. They have had massive attrition on that side of the ball and their defensive depth chart is wide ass open.  The issues that will face them are well known to Longhorn fans, esp along the LOS, They are going to have to keep putting FR directly on the 2-deep and they are now entering year of 2 of Bennie Wylie as their S&C coach.

     

     

    This. How do you think they won Bryson Washington? There is a reason he believed the DC when they told him, "Everybody here sucks. Come play right away."

    I like Blackwell, I just think that Cooks is much more similar in style 

    Blackwell is the type of LB that Texas has passed on in the past (see Kenneth Murray and DaShaun White). Him and Cooks will kill it.

    Will doing his Wescott impersonation now. That’s only marginally better than Hamm.

    I don’t feel like Landon Jackson was ever really in our “grasp”. We spent a year thinking he was going to aggy.

    Sorry I look at the bad things as well as the good things. I am also not the only one of Twitter voicing this.

    Also I think Jackson was a lot closer to choosing Texas until it became LSU.

    There are also a few guys that will drop that will boost Texas' class. It just sucks they couldn't pull those guys in because they were leaning Texas hard at one point or another.

    I am super hyped about Jonathon Brooks. That kid is being slept on hard.
    There are other guys out there for Texas. I think Shemar Turner is a beast (thought so before I started a show with DT).
    Texas is doing a good job of looking past the stars and finding guys.
    I will be honest, though. No clue what is going on with WR recruiting.

    Listened to 4th and 5, shout out @OnAComputer 

    Some takeaways

    -Blackwell is going to be a beast, the measurable and tape are for sure there, dude is squatting 550 at 200lbs, dude is going to get some weight and that speed with be serious, compared him to Kenneth Murray.

    -Turner has OU surging in his recruitment and LSU is definitely a player..but Texas still in it. Terrell being a coach at Desoto should definitely have the inside info going forward

    -Evans reached out a couple weeks before he committed and Texas had no interest, didnt even respond to him

    -Also Darius Terrell is fantastic on the podcast, really good insight...Will you're ok...dont listen to everyone calling you the Hamm of Texas recruiting, pure conjecture!

    I've never been more insulted in my life.

  5. 4th and 5 sits down with lifetime Longhorn and former player/coach Vance Bedford to discuss his time as a player at Texas, fun stories from the 1980's Longhorns, his time between his return, his time as a coach at Texas, and the end of his career.

    You can't justify this. I understand if one team is being aggressive, driving to the hoop and attacking the offensive boards and the other team is playing passive...there will be a discrepancy in fouls called. I get that but thats not the case here. We are in the other team's face and they're in ours. A difference of a couple fouls is one thing but not the past few games. Wasn't the first tech game something like 10-1 and then I think 15-3. Thats nonsense. The first half of the second tech was almost as bad.

    As some posters have stated, Coach needs to work over the officials more. I don't know what goes on during the game because you can't hear anything watching the game. Tomorrow, I would send the tape of this game and the second half of the second tech game  the head of Big12 officials. The kids are playing their hearts out and deserve a better shake from the refs.

    He did vs Tech when refs missed a blatant foul they called on Texas on the other side of the court. For his efforts he got T'ed up.

    One of the prominent guys covering Texas put on an event to support the charity of a deceased UT football player. The guy used the proceeds of that tournament, at least a chunk of them, to pay backtaxes to the IRS. This dude never attended, much less graduated, from UT.

    One guy is a known drunk and a gambling addict to boot. He's been rumored as having taken payments from our enemies in order to publish content to his audience that paints UT and its administration in a terrible light. Those offenders paying for the service then use those stories to show parents of recruits what Texas is all about.

    One guy helped take his growing recruiting-related start-up into bankruptcy in order to wipe out equity holders. He did this in conjunction with the CEO and cofounder, who is a convicted felon. They then recapitalized the business and sold it to a major media company for millions to the new shareholders, largely them.

    One group of guys started a site focused on recruiting with the express purpose of spreading rumors and stealing legitimate shit from elsewhere in order to drive clicks. Making up shit was the key ingredient to the formula. This site grew like wildfire and was a driver for why the larger suite of sites was ultimately able to derive a modicum of value in an exit. Many of those guys are still paid writers covering Texas. They also committed textbook libel in a very public way on the internet with a long time friend of theirs because he deigned to post something true about a UT program that was negative (they were trying to get inside the program when this guy did this, so it set them off).

    One dude went nuts on drugs and was pimping himself out for money with other dudes in his office parking lot. 

    One guy, who also never attended Texas, worked in industrial inside sales by day and made up shit on the recruiting front by night. He once showed up at another dude's speaking session with longhorns and told me, flat out, that he was their to steal whatever the other guy was saying and he was going to repurpose it as his own content because "everybody does it". 

    One dude went to fucking SMU and viewed all of his readers as simple idiots. He condescended them regularly, pimped recruits daily for street agents that gave him shoes and clothes, and got less than 10% of his takes correct historically. 

    And then there are Jeff Howe and Suchomel, who are both good guys. Mike Roach is apparently also a nice guy and he works his ass off. The TFB guys all seem okay so far, even the sock-using dork on here.

    But yeah, there aren't a lot of good guys out there, so it makes sense that those not prone to idealizing them and paying them money on the reg would view them all with a healthy measure of disdain. 

    It's also not specific to UT. Liucci and his staff actively serve as a recruiting extension for the ATM program and they are one of the biggest offenders in the industry when it comes to badmouthing other programs to recruits. James Hale is a felon and borderline retarded. One of the Clemson $9.95ers is a moneyhandler for the Clemson program and has been for over a decade. Oregon has a guy on their 247 crew that also works for a sports agent. The Baylor $9.95ers are a collective of rape-enabling, rape-denying, rape-victim-shaming shitheads that do so without even a hint of contrition. USC has a guy that was busted in the 2019 cycle paying recruits to visit there. These are just other guys that I'm thinking of off the top of my head. 

    Any time you see a guy come over here who shows that he's an acolyte and avid fan of one of these guys is in effect showing you that they're very simple-minded rubes incapable of their independent thoughts and lacking any sort of critical judgment in the sports-watching behaviors. In real life, if someone starts trying to discuss UT sports and recruiting with me and then cites Orangebloods as their source and place of hangout, I change the subject or find another conversation. I'm personally glad that this board views all $9.95ers with major cynicism and attempts to glean whatever useful information it can find from these guys without holding any of them in any sort of special regard. 

     

    I am not a sock-using dork... I'm a sock-using nerd or geek. Get you shit together.

    Texas missed on a lot of guys and then they also didn't miss on a lot of a guys. They missed on some of the guys they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed. They didn't miss on some of the guys they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed. They missed on some of the guys they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed who they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed on. They didn't missed on some of the guys they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed who they tried to get to make up for the guys they missed on.

    Any recs on podcasts or people you like or dislike in general for longhorn sports info?

     

    Obviously, Fuck Chip Brown... but is Bobby Burton worth a listen? Will Baizer? Gerald from BoN? Kurt Bohls still sucks right? What about Cedric Golden? Etc etc

    I think Will Baizer is worth a follow

    With all the flack Roach is getting for his podcast, somewhere @OnAComputeris very awkwardly giggling into a microphone.

    Roach is a good dude. He's always been kind to me and has never given me a reason to dislike him. He's one of the more likable guys in that business. Also, hosting a podcasting is a lot harder than being the cohost, and he does a good job of it. You're not always having to think of how to transition, what everything sounds like, how much time you need to spend on a certain topic before it starts to get boring, and other shit. It's also not what he spends the most time on either. And a reminder that he's really only been doing this professionally for like... 3 years?

    At least now DT calls him out on the spot and that has made their work worth a listen. DT has a great eye for football.

    DT is an awesome dude. Love having his knowledge about what goes on behind the scenes on and off the field.
