  1. He was supposed to the be the true number one receiver after the Pickens injury. Anyone know what happened this year?
  2. Majors can absolutely get better with another offseason and camp. That’s doesn’t mean we sit by and not try to get another player from the portal. But absolutely every single player in that group that is not severely limited physically can improve.
  3. This is where I am at. I get that with a seven player class in total at the position numbers are where they want to be but I would process at least one player after the spring and get one true starter in the portal. I wasn’t thinking that way previously but that’s when I was mistaken about there being a hard limit on transfers. Essentially outside of interior defensive line and running back every position should be upgraded with a transfer if possible. Realistically if we got 5-6 starters from the portal that would be amazing if they hit the key groups. But at some point we are going to have to also scheme better and improve players on our own roster. Offensive line is the one position where more experience and coaching can have a real effect unlike some other positions. It is at least possible that another year for some of these players will yield better results than 2021.
  4. I remember John Elway playing in DKR like it was yesterday. We were very fortunate to have a young Favre playing in those games against A&M.
  5. Equating expressing concerns about a player with some red flags to a “boo-hoo train” is peak surly. We are obviously hopeful that he plays like he did in 2020 with a different coach but it’s foolish to simply write off 2021 because it bothers you.
  6. “There is growing confidence by Texas coaches” means we should see a commitment tweet to OU from Sanders tomorrow afternoon.
  7. I hope he proves me wrong for being concerned. Hopefully being utilized more like a large slot receiver gets him to buy in.
  8. There can be a healthy debate about who has the best football program culture right now between Clemson, Ohio St. Alabama and Georgia but there is no debate Texas right now is far off from Alabama. This guy couldn’t get his shit together at Alabama and take football seriously. Unlike Sanders who is just stuck behind two first round draft picks this guy lost his job because of his lack of commitment to football. I’m not thinking coming to Austin will make that any better.
  9. I am probably in the minority but I wouldn’t sign Billingsley. He’s actually a worse blocker than Wiley if they try to use him traditionally and if we are thinking about playing him in the slot I think we can find a true wide receivers instead. That’s before you factor in the vaccine drama.
  10. It really depends on what we want to do with the position. If we are looking for an on the line blocking tight end, he would not be a good fit. He did well when he was used more like an H back last year.
  11. Well considering the Texas staff is confident on him it would be fitting if he chose another school without visiting us.
  12. It was rough watching him play this year. The new OC tried to play him more traditionally at TE and he looked really out of place. He did much better under Sark.
  13. Hall and Billingsley might get processed after this game with the way they are playing. They will fit in great here.
  14. Every single one of these places mentioned in this thread are good for one thing- the toilet when you are on a road trip.
  15. If you are older than 25 years old and you are eating fast food regularly, there is something wrong with you.
  16. I’m not sure there is a right answer to which is better between Deadwood, The Wire and The Sopranos. I think the right answer is, all of the above. That’s the holy trinity of television content.
  17. Jesus fucking Christ reading your posts hurts my head.
  18. How about the most insufferable western movies of all time? I would like to suggest Dances with Wolves, later remade into an alien version that was even more insufferable.
  19. It’s not a movie but for me the best western media content is still Deadwood.
