Who gives a fuck, we’re up 34 points dipshit.
Because our coach started the fucking game with another terrible game management decision after losing games last year because of terrible game management decisions. I don’t just casually watch our coach make game decisions like a toddler with a clip board and say “Oh well it’s just Rice.”- 3

yeah we should't find out our kickers range while we're way ahead or anything
Right. That’s not something you can like, figure out any other way. And there is definitely no virtue in practicing pinning an opponent deep. -
Instead of pinning the deep and dooming then to another bad outcome we might have just given them points. Sark is retarded sometimes.

Attempting a 56 yard field goal up 37-3 is an….interesting/retarded decision.

All of that off-season Koolaid and the offense looks like complete dog shit.

4 minutes ago, closetojumping said:Let me help you and the board understand what is meant by folks referencing academics being important for this recruitment.
The mom was a multi-decade teacher in Lafayette. She's now in leadership for the teacher's union or association in those parts. Her kids have high academic requirements inside of their own household. The "academic" part of this is not just getting a degree, and it isn't something to be poo-poo'ed on this board.
What is getting all of you idiots spun up in the wrong direction is thinking that academics = Texas. There are some $9.95ers that have dealt with this recruitment who have also gotten twisted up in that logic.
The problem is, and I'm negging anyone who thinks we need to hear about or see the actual numbers on this, ATM isn't perceived to be a significant falloff from Texas. The gap is between ATM and OU and LSU. Ohio State is a serious contender because of academics and Johnson, but distance is a major problem. The reason the recruit isn't likely going to LSU is due to academics. The reason the player isn'tlikely going to OU is due to academics. So it's apparently Texas or ATM, and ATM happens to be in a town roughly the size of Lafayette (perceived to be, at least, and no one needs the fucking MSA numbers on this either).
So then ask yourself, when NIL hasn't played a role in a 5 star recruitment, how many of those has Texas won in the trenches in the last 15 years? Not many. Hence people not feeling really confident anywhere around this one.

It might in the PAC 12 or Northwestern. The rest of the country is over Covid.

Jerry is fucking retarded
Throwing away a draft pick for a player who might or might not even be on the active roster if things work out. -
Just watched Chip Brown ask Sark about the receiver talent. Chip looks like a more strung out Gary Busey. Should we take up a collection to send him to rehab?

Strong counter to him never suggesting Bush is an all conference player
My apologies if the sarcasm was too subtle. The notion that Bush is anything other than a warm body should be obvious to anyone with a functioning brain by this point.

I have zero problem with Jett Bush as the backup to Ford. Other than being a white walk-on, I'm not sure why he gets shit on as much as he does.
Other than he is small, slow and not a good football player I see no reason to criticize his play on the field. If you really think he is our first linebacker off the bench if Ford gets hurt, you should join Ian Boyd in a discussion of linebacker talent because he will be the only one who agrees with you. -
100% chance Bush is one of Burton’s sources. He constantly tries to sell him as a reliable linebacker despite absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back that up.

We need this season to start already. I just heard Ian Boyd wonder if Harold Perkins would be better than David Gbenda on the Inside Texas podcast. Peak offseason retardedness.

I will never forget the Dreamweaver article he wrote. I hope someone has that somewhere for reference.

Louisiana cornerback Wardell Mack selected Florida this morning. The destination wasn’t a big surprise, and we figured he’d announce in August, but the announcement did come with zero notice. With his commitment to the Gators, it gives us a good chance to analyze Texas’ numbers and needs at the position.
Long-time readers of Inside Texas know the importance of landing cornerbacks is heightened at UT because of how the staff utilizes the position. Nickel, or Star as the staff calls it, is essentially a third cornerback.
Thus far the staff has done very well stocking the shelves. That makes it pretty bizarre to see such consternation on Mack going elsewhere. Though, in conjunction with missing on Corian Gipson, it might appear the staff’s back is against the wall. That can be a good thing, like it is with defensive lineman Dominick McKinley.
The people who tend to get too high and too low are definitely doing what they do. But that just means they’re one Kobe Black announcement away from rubber-banding in the opposite direction. Side note: Did you know the highest and lowest points in the contiguous 48 states are 80 miles apart? On IT it’s just one klick.
When looking at the remaining years of eligibility on the current roster, there’s no reason for concern. There’s also still a lot of cycle left and you can be assured Texas will stay on both Gipson and Mack.
CURRENT PLAYERS
Senior Jahdae Barron: He’ll be off the NFL after this season. Once the media catches on to how good he is the staff will have a very good ‘proof of concept’ at Star.
Senior Ryan Watts: This is his last year at Texas. He’ll get NFL looks, too. The staff landed him from Ohio State out of the portal. Ah yes, the portal.
Junior Gavin Holmes: One year of eligibility after this year. Another portal get. He’s a proven, quality player, and he could very well be CB No. 4 this year.
Sophomore Terrance Brooks: Two years of eligibility after this season. Likely starter. Likely very good by season’s end.
Sophomore Austin Jordan: Two years of eligibility after this year. Quality player who could start this year at nickel or corner but given the roster he’s CB No. 5 and nickel No. 3.
Sophomore Jaylon Guilbeau: Two years of eligibility after this year. Quality player who will be Barron’s primary backup.
Redshirt freshman X’avion Brice: He likely will never be a star at Texas but he’s certainly not out of place.
Freshman Malik Muhammad: Three years of eligibility after this year. There’s a very good chance he starts in 2024 opposite Brooks. He’s going to be good.
Freshman Warren Roberson: Three years of eligibility this year (assuming he doesn’t redshirt). He’s more of a nickel but has also worked at corner.COMMITTED
Senior Santana Wilson: Stud, could play corner or nickel. High floor, high ceiling.
KEY TARGET
Senior Kobe Black: Stud. The must-get from Waco has been sold on immediately competing for Watts’ vacated corner role in 2024. He’d play a lot as a true freshman regardless.
CLOSING
Don’t get me wrong, you don’t want to miss on corners like Gipson and Mack. In particular, I liked their ability to fit multiple roles. But, if Texas lands Black to go with Wilson, this is still the best corner class Texas has landed under this staff.
Gaming it out a year or two, Texas is in an enviable position of having Brooks and Muhammad as two high end corners with talented players directly behind them. If Brooks becomes a three-year player, what do you think that will do for recruiting?
It’s not just corner, nickel is also in a good position for the foreseeable future with Guilbeau, Jordan, and Roberson. The youngest player, Roberson, probably has the most athletic upside.
Texas doesn’t ‘need’ more than two corners this cycle, assuming those two are Wilson and Black. However, I’d still bet on the staff signing three just because they can.
Jesus fucking Christ this man is a cunt.- 4
