  1. Not that I needed another data point but suggesting Sorrell, who has improved every year he has been at Texas is maxed out is yet another data point in a long list that proves you do not know what the fuck your are talking about.
  2. You shouldn’t go to a bar “with your crew” and get into physical altercations in your 40’s for damn sure.
  3. That’s not what a lot of us thought. We thought he needed to remake his body and would take 1-2 years of dedication to a college S&C program to see the field. He showed up last year out of shape and only got fatter. That’s actually pretty remarkable considering the success Becton has had at Texas.
  4. He took it seriously and gained a bunch of weight when he should have been trimming down and getting better at conditioning? I’m doubtful we see much of him this year unless he gets serious about his conditioning.
  5. When I saw Mitchell was 373 pounds, I immediately thought wait until 25 on him. That’s not someone who took his freshman year S&C seriously.
  6. I think it’s important with this staff not to view pieces so statically and pencil in someone like Broughton as “serviceable rotation player.” Two years ago Broughton was unplayable. Last year he was serviceable. What if he continues to get better like most players seem to be doing under this staff and S&C program? Burke and Sorrel fall into that category as well. Fully expect them to stay in their current trajectory and go from pretty good to damn good this year. This time last year Sweat was not a lock to be a first or second round player. Two years ago we questioned his conditioning and overall drive. Players are getting better under this staff and I think that’s going to be part of the solution to our interior line concerns.
  7. You screenshot your boarding pass like everyone else and never rely on the app. Rookie move.
  8. That may be true but I still enjoy listening to his thoughts on Texas football. Nahlin, however has absolutely zero redeeming values and I wouldn’t spend one second listening to his content. I wish Paul would leave and join Gerry and Bobby.
  9. Paul Waddlington decided to stay with IT for whatever reason. That content is pure garbage. How do we track non YouTube views? I always use Spotify to listen to content. I wonder what % of the content is non YouTube podcast format.
  10. That makes for a cute tweet but the Bears are drafting Williams.
  11. I don’t get trading Fields for a 6th. He’s a cheap veteran and now you have to just sign a Tannehill/Wentz type for more money than Fields was set to make. The Bears should have just kept him and released him next year if a 6th round pick is all you get. Kudos to the Steelers for improving the QB position by investing nearly nothing.
  12. Fuck him. I feel really good about his career ending this way.
  13. Imagine being such a cunt as a person that a fan base is openly rooting for your entire career to go up in smoke. It couldn’t have happened to a better family.
  14. James Joyce’s long lost stoned relative has joined the chat.
  15. Not to interrupt whatever the fuck is going on in here but Burton is reporting that Glasscock’s vacant role is going to be filled with internal promotions. Harris will be the new team GM.
  16. That Oilers team was soft against the run, if I remember correctly. Instead of Aikman being the MVP Emmitt would have gone off against those guys.
  17. The only sad part about the Oilers epic collapse against the Bills as a Cowboys fan is being robbed of the opportunity to watch an all Texas Super Bowl in Pasadena. I was 12 when my father took me to the Rose Bowl for that game and it would have been glorious watching Cowboys v Oilers.
  18. Reasonable people can disagree about the process for this latest coaching hire but if you hate on The Big Lebowski you can go fuck yourself.
  19. That’s probably why Satk lets Flood call plays? There is a person in charge for a reason.
  20. No, the assistant line coach is not the one responsible for coaching the line. He’s not in charge. It’s like the analyst position. Helping out? Yes. Responsible for scheme and scouting? No.
  21. Show me where people “are losing their minds”. Having a healthy debate and criticizing does not mean people are questioning the direction of the program. That sounded more like projection on your part.
  22. No of course not. But when was the last time we hired a position coach at Texas that had never coached the position at the P5 level and only had one year in the NFL which did not even include being the position coach in that role, only an assistant. I don’t pretend to be the Texas Longhorn encyclopedia so maybe someone else knows. We paid the last guy 1M a year so our replacement budget should have opened the pool of candidates to a pretty large group of experienced candidates.
  23. I don’t mind if he talked to Giles as a former Longhorn but if he actually considered him Jesus Fucking Christ. If the criticism about Davis was he was not an elite recruiter imagine going with Giles in that scenario. That’s through the looking glass-Joseph Hellerish level absurdity.
  24. I guess I missed the part where he was the defensive line coach at Miami. I read “assistant defensive line coach”. As in, not the defensive line coach.
