  1. If I am James Franklin and I wanted to be a real motherfucker, I would sign on to coach at the next university for minimum wage due to the offset language in the Penn State contract. Then I would go to my new school and say "Use my coaching salary as an NIL warchest". You would turn some shit around super quickly and hamstring Penn State in the process.

    The way defenses are played now is a lot different than back then. They’re designed to prevent that where as if Emmitt broke through the front 7 there wasn’t much behind. 

    Emmitt was elite at sliding in the hole while still moving forward. He never really had to change direction in that running scheme. Outside zone requires you to start sideways, and then stick your foot in the ground and head downhill. Lots more time for defenses to flow to you with extra defenders.

    I want georgia to win. The rest are all in line with what I want on saturday. 

     

    Agree, why wouldn't we want Georgia to win? If we go on the road next week and finally get over the hump in Athens, that is going to be the win that gets us into the playoffs even if we do drop one of the last two games.

    We need at least three starting caliber OL in the portal and maybe four. Sounds extreme but think about it.. who the fuck is a viable starting caliber guard on this entire roster next year? Turntine as an true freshman? Hutson and Campbell will both be gone and the guys who have gotten snaps like Stroh and Brooks have been historically bad. RT is no better. Baker absolutely fucking sucks and Brooks, while playing mostly out of position, has looked even worse. In the very least adding one starting caliber RT and OG are musts. We miss on that and the 2026 season is going to be fucked before it even begins. I'd argue we also need a center because while Robertson isn't the worst option he is still below average and you can usually find very good experienced centers in the portal without having to break the bank. 

    A change of pace RB is also a priority but not something we need to go anywhere near top of the market for. We will have a decent RB group but they all kind of do the same thing. None of them really have dangerous burst. Ideally we won't need to rely on always running around the tackles if we adequately upgrade the OL. 

    On defense I think you just throw a wide net and see what is out there. We could certainly use a safety given how bad we look when McDonald and Taaffe aren't playing. Corner is also a major question mark as no one seems to want to step up. Lots of former high rated recruits that get out there and look like clowns even against lower tier offenses. 

    WR I feel is kind of a "replace what you lose" situation. Lockett and Ffrench may both transfer out for fresh starts elsewhere and I'm not sure at this point I'd consider it a loss. You would feel pretty good about the 2026 WR group if we have Moore, Livingstone, Wingo, McCutcheon all returning and then maybe add a lower tier portal guy with proven production kind of like we did with Bolden just to raise the floor. 

    You haven't been paying attention, but Baker is turning into a very good tackle. He has grown a ton over the last month. I think that Daniel Cruz is going to factor into the interior next season in some capacity, but I would love to see us take a couple of guards in the portal.

    Pocket Awareness is Arch's kryptonite. Caldwell will look like Quinn on Saturday by comparison. He'll get the ball out quickly and get the ball to his playmakers. 

    Um. No.. Pocket Awareness is one of Arch's strengths. It is more his processing speed and accuracy that will cause problems. He takes a lot of sacks because he is determined to stick in the pocket and get a throw off because it takes him too long to see the open guy. He is awesome at sliding in the pocket and avoiding the first rusher. Quinn looked like a giraffe on rollerskates when a free rusher came at him.

    Where is all the Diego Pavia shit talk and funny memes about what Texas is gonna do to him?

    Ugh, fuck.. fine. I guess tag me in then. 

    • Diego Pavia on his best day is heaving it 150 yards per game. That is only slightly farther than Brandon Baker heaves us backwards every game with penalties. 
    • Diego Pavia is known as a field general and a leader. I guess you really do pick up some things in your early 30's. If he had a star for every year of eligibility he would be an 8 star general - Supreme leader of the galactic fleet and second only to gimpy the nacho vendor for longest tenured retard at Vanderbilt. 
    • Diego Pavia bears a striking resemblance to that time I pressed my bulldogs face against my ex-girlfriend's windshield to see how much snot and drool I could get on there. 
    • Diego Pavia once beat Joe Namath in a pushup contest when both were in their prime. 
    • Diego Pavia is going to shit out his own helmet on Saturday after about the 14th TFL. It will be slightly less entertaining than watching him become the trainee of the month at Duncan Donuts in January.
    • Diego Pavia is both the before and after uncle Rico at the same time.
    • Diego Pavia regularly throws for more yards in warmups than in games. 
    • Diego Pavia once fought a trashcan and lost.
    • Diego Pavia threw for... checks notes... 1,485 yards during his high school career. South Austin's mom has a body count bigger than that. 
    • Diego Pavia has never ended a season above 60% completions, even at New Mexico Military Junior College.
    • Diego Pavia is making over $2 Million in NIL this season, that equates to almost $760 per passing yard for his career season average. 
    • But VERTIGOOOO... HE IS A RUNNIN Quarterback!  Diego Pavia runs like the statues outside the coop. 
    • Diego Pavia has only once rushed for more than 800 yards in his decades long college career.
    • Diego Pavia idolizes Johnny Manziel. Chances that Pavia exits Vanderbilt with any of his NIL money are zero point zero. But it's not all bad, at least him and Johnny can sit together when they try do autograph sessions at the local 7eleven.   
    • Diego Pavia is the first college quarterback to get a Propecia NIL deal. 
    • Diego Pavia is so stupid he failed the doctor's exam on hims.com
    • I hear they came out with a new grading system for Diego Pavia at Vanderbilt, it is called the Pavia Curve.

    The original point was that he didn't have the patience to wait and develop at one place. Had he been patient at Texas, Worthy would've been long gone and he would've gotten his chance to make an impact. 

    He still hasn't actually developed. The Briles offense just sks those guys to run go routes, posts, and slants. He is fast, but even then he had two drops running basic routes while running wide open. Two years ago when he played for OU? Drop in the cotton bowl.

    TBH I think this is why everyone is all toxic and fucked up. Its not anything you are doing wrong to be clear. 

    When your Texas Football experience is just the game from your couch and getting on surly to bitch about it, what is there to look forward to? 

    What happened to people making plans around the game with people they like from the Longhorn fandom even for Away games. What happened to wanting to tailgate and afterparty? 

    Part of the entire college football experience to me isn't just going to the game waiting forever to leave your parking spot and feeling however the game went. Its about the entire day - the band, the pageantry, the friends, the heckling of the other team, the big plays, the roar of the crowd, things like singing the eyes. 

    If you are skipping all the good parts all the time, of course there's nothing to look forward to, it's just like kicking yourself in the nuts over and over again. 

    @YChang came and joined us at KoKos and we watched the same game y'all watched, but it was a roller coaster of emotion and a final victory that I'll remember. 

    Another buddy of mine got a picture of me in full disappointment after they tied it with the caption 

    "TFW Kentucky ties it"

    I'm not telling anyone how to do anything, but maybe the problem with why you hate everything all the time is the way you are setting things up to hate everything all the time. 

    We aren't gonna get the greatest show on turf this year - that's not the identity of this team even when it's firing on all cylinders. This team if it gets its act together is going to score points and have wins like OU at best. That was still fantastic. 

    There's a lot of schedule left and a lot of fun games left after MS State.

    Vandy at home is projected by revelxp tent sales to be one of the biggest morning games ever in Austin (if the people show up). Arkansas is the renewal of a rivalry that hasn't happened here since 2008. TAMU hasn't played here since 2011 and was the hottest ticket outside of TX@tOSU the entire year. A night game with nothing else going on because it's holiday time. 

    There are LOTS of people that are making this about a lot more than the team. 

    Surly Jesus has just delivered his sermon on the couch. Repent sinners.

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I would like us to hire Vanderbilt’s coach

    I don't think Lea's schtick would work at a place like Florida. He runs an odd offense that masks talent deficits. He is also almost completely reliant on one player, and he is almost 100% portal reliant.

    I am very interested to see if FSU goes after Deion if they do have the means to fire Norvell.

    Here's our O-Line recruiting under Flood with rankings since 2022

    2022:

    Kelvin Banks (5*) fell into our laps when Cristobal left for Miami. Absolute stud. Top 10 pick

    Cam Williams (3*) see above, expect for the stud part. He was a penalty machine, yet still drafted in the 6th rd to Philly after Gerry/Bobby hyping 1st-2nd rd bs

    DJ Campbell (5*) - Seinor - above average 

    Neto Umeozulu (4* top 200) - RSJR - can't get out of his own way, or Flood is a moron who can't develop 

    Malik Agbo  (4*) was a jumbo TE who saw the field and did nothing

    Cole Hutson (3*) senior should be a 2* he's horrible 

    Connor Robertson (3*) RS-JR - We're about to find out. He has to be better than that blowup pussy Hutson. 

    2023:

    Jaydon Chatman (4*) - RS-SO - still has time and apparently has shown promise 

    Payton Kirkland  (4*) now at his fourth school, UAB

    Trevor Goosby (3*) - RS-SO worth every penny. Will be a high draft pick if he comes back for another season 

    Connor Stroh - (3*) RS-SO - easily the worst eval ever. 

    Andre Cojoe - (3*) - actually showed real promise before injury 

    2024:

    Brandon Baker - (5*) - starter. Showing he's getting it, but young 

    Daniel Cruz - (3*) - no fucking clue. Gerry sucks him off, so unless Robertson fails miserably and Hutson loses both legs, don't expect to see him for another 2 years 

    Nate Kibble - (3*) - I fully believe he'll be a star. He's from Atascocita, an o-line factory 

    2025:

    Nick Brooks (4*) - getting PT now, so we'll see how fast he can pick up the offense, but he can move people. The inverse of Stroh 

    Jordan Coleman - (3*) - No idea. I expect JAG 

    Devin Coleman - (3*) - see above

    Jackson Christian - (3*) - who knows? 

    Ten 3* recruits still on the team 

    Three 4* recruits still on the team 

    Two 5* still on the team 

    That's some lazy fucking recruiting if I've ever seen it. TEN 3*???????????

    We should have TEN 4* AT THE VERY LEAST! 

    Flood is a liability, a shitty recruiter, and a shitty teacher. It's beyond time for Sark to give his buddy the pink slip and actually go get someone who can recruit and develop. Easier said than done, but FFS we're Texas. We should never be in this position. 
     

    This group is grim to look at. I almost can't stomach it or process it. 

    Seriously? You are simultaneously saying guys are worth every penny, top 10 pick, show real promise, he's getting it just young, too bad he got injured because he was showing something, starting as a true freshman, expect him to be a star, admittedly know nothing about a few guys... And then you end with "This group is grim to look at. I almost can't stomach or process it." Maybe back away from the keyboard for a while.

    on a happy note since like 2/3 of my family went to Tech this is legit the happiest I’ve seen them about football since the Leach days. Hope they can win the conference. It would be nice for them if Game Day went to Lubbock. 

    It would be even more amazing if Gameday went to Lubbock, only to meet with a haboob during the broadcast.
