  1. They were given to the team for the last Alamo Bowl, so you'd probably have to get one directly from a player. They had some bowl gear at the recent Fire Sale before the spring game, but I didn't see any of these there. There's always a chance we could see something similar drop with next year's set of gear, but I'd say it's pretty unlikely.
  2. FSU’s new uniforms look great. Not a huge change, but the simplified look is definitely an improvement. The recent trend of schools going back to cleaner/throwback inspired uniforms is certainly welcome, especially with how cluttered and wacky things got in the 2010s.
  3. The team got updated uniforms last season: https://texassneakers.com/texas-longhorns-reveal-new-uniforms-for-the-2022-football-season/ There's also been speculation that UT (and Nike's other big programs) will be updating to the new "Vapor Fusion" uniform template next season. This is the style that Oregon has been wearing since 2019, and that Ohio State and Georgia wore in last year's playoff. I bet these will look pretty similar to what we wore last season, but they will technically be "new uniforms".
  4. Tough break for Purdue. No way they lose this game if they shoot 46 free throws
  5. We sacrificed a good national champion game to the football gods in exchange for 2 competitive playoff matches
  6. why do we always get cooked by these white dudes from baylor
  7. Jared Wiley catching the 2-point conversion. Former Longhorns going crazy in these conference championship games
  8. Based on how the Pac 12 is shaking out, it looks like the most likely scenario for us is the Alamo Bowl against Washington. If USC loses to Utah in the Pac 12 Championship, then we'll play the Trojans instead. Interesting options as they're both schools that Sark used to coach for. If KSU beats TCU next Saturday, then we'll probably fall to the Cheezit and play the loser of the ACC Championship, which will be either Clemson or UNC.
  9. kansas special teams and defense are ass my dude
  10. I think the Cheezit Bowl is still in play if KSU beats TCU next week
  11. I went through this thought experiment a few months back when we lost to Tech. To me, the minimum requirement for whoever we hire next should be that they have won a conference championship (or co-championship) at the P5 level in the last decade or so. This shows that they are capable of taking a program to some modicum of success, while playing against solid competition week-in and week-out. Additionally, both of the G5 coaching hires we've made in the last decade have either been mediocre or terrible, so we should avoid hiring directly from that level if possible. I selected 2010 as the cutoff point for this list, as it was the start of the dark ages that UT Football currently finds itself in. This narrows down the list of potential hires to a little under 30 names: From this list, we can remove anyone is currently experiencing success at a powerhouse program, has been part of a major scandal, or is seemingly retired from coaching. These coaches would likely not be interested in coaching at UT, or inversely UT would not be interested in hiring them. That gives us the following names: From these 13 names, I think it's also safe to remove anyone who has not experienced some amount of success recently. Again this is subjective, but for my definition of success I'm going to say the coach needs to have won at least 10 games in a season in any of the past 5 complete seasons (2017-2021). Coaches that meet this requirement are as follows: There's still quite a few stinkers on this list (namely Malzahn, Helton, and Franklin), but it should at least give us a starting point on who we theoretically should be going after if Sark gets canned. To me the best names are the coaches from the Big 12; Gundy, Patterson, and Aranda. If Sonny Dykes wins the Big 12 this year or Chip Kelly wins 10 games at UCLA this season they should also be under consideration. TLDR: The next football coach UT hires should have won a conference championship since 2010, and won at least 10 games in a season since 2017. Based on that criteria, the best options seem to be Mike Gundy, Gary Patterson, and Dave Aranda.
  12. that's an assert your dominance call by BK over Saban. There's a new sheriff in the SEC West
  13. pac 12 trying to give usc every opportunity to keep them in the playoff hunt
