Did some people have a bad experience? Maybe, sure, whatever. Plenty of water vendors in sections 115-112 but YMMV. But overall the renovations worked wonders for the most important issue: getting people in and out of the stadium quickly. For proof, look at how full the stands were before the start of the game. In previous years, it took me 30-40 minutes to get to my seat, sometimes missing kickoff. This year, probably 10-15; legitimately did not know what to do with all of the free time. And judging by how full the stands were 5-10min before kickoff, my experience was not unique.

This is exactly the play that I come back to as sign of improvement. From our vantage point in the stadium, we were sure it was yet another short yardage failure as Wisner tripped and fell into the back of the O lineman. Was shocked to see that our line had already pushed OU 3 yards back. That hasn’t happened at all this season before the third quarter.

He’s okay in straight pass pro simply by virtue of being enormous. He got whipped on a stunt against SJSU, which is apparently what we ding Neto for. The most infuriating/egregious issue in the run game is that he stops moving his feet at contact. This is something Flood should be teaching, so if Stroh isn’t doing it after 3 years he probably will never have the coordination to do it effectively. Neto must be a liability in practice if we aren’t seeing him. -

Lmao “matchup.” I don’t know what’s funnier, the gymnastics performed to avoid calling this the “shocking upset” that it actually was, or pretending like the recruits witnessing the “matchup” in person is somehow a positive. -

Completely different teams, but one game in support of your theory was that “upset” of Kansas state late in 2022. Despite having Bijan and Roschon, the running game never really clicked all year as we kept trying different schemes/styles. Eventually Sark either gave up or discovered the OLine “clicked” with outside zone, and we proceeded to spam outside zone for approximately a billion yards to win the game. -
You’re a heart attack monster, Tex.

While that rep looked silly, we don’t know the exact assignment on the call and he did create enough of a push/delay so that the DT was out of the play. That said, this is not the type of news we want to hear the week before the season starts. If Stroh was actually “turning heads” instead of just being a slightly less worse option, we would have heard more chatter about it, similar to Graceson Littleton at star.

Do these writers know something we don’t about the quality of the offensive line? It’s so hard to tell if local beat writers are making good observations vs blinded by homerism and constant success. Your expensive transfer tackle from Rice that was supposed to start at LT but might lose the RT competition somehow “isn’t a concern” and you’ll have the best OL ever? If that happened here this board would be shitting itself (more than usual) and ready to cancel the season.

Just talked with a former OL who has sat in on multiple practices, and he is drinking all of the koolaid. Pretty much what we’ve been hearing but it’s good to get more confirmation from a non $9.95er - the interior o-line is what he was most excited about, using the words “nasty disposition for the first time in years”. Actually getting good push, and be thinks we have strong backups. - Tackles have looked solid. Nick Brooks is the truth. - tackle depth is his only concern.- 7698 replies

I know it’s the least likely because his decision seemed to be based on factors beyond strictly NIL, but Davon Benjamin is the flip I want to see the most outside of Lee. I think he’ll be the type of DB most were hoping Jonah Williams would be. I can’t remember the last safety we recruited with comparable instincts and reaction speed. -

This is going to be the new “did you know Ryan Williams is just 17 years old??” line recycled twice every game, and we’ll want to murder the play-by-play announcer by Week 5 -
Is there a payment portal for buying tickets beyond donations? Thinking this would be a good corporate business development expense for guests coming to the stadium.

I thought it had to be a typo that they only play 3 games away. But nope. Before the Texas game, they only leave the state to play Temple. That hype train will be rolling
