  1. OK, which one of you fat lawyer assholes is already down in Florida for the game?

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/outback-steakhouse-sued-man-suffers-serious-bodily-injury-toilet-shattering-under-him

    A Florida man filed a lawsuit against Outback Steakhouse alleging that he was on a handicapped toilet when the seat "suddenly shattered and collapsed" while he was doing his business, resulting in injury.

    Michael Green said he suffered "severe bodily injury" during the incident at an Outback Steakhouse location along Southwest College Road in Ocala, according to the lawsuit.

    The injuries include "significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function" and "loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life," Green alleges in the suit.

    I guess folks don't remember him pretty much being the offense his junior year here.

    Part of the challenge of being a college coach is not running the tread off the tires of a great running back like Bijan. Sark protected Bijan's touches, Mack Brown with Ricky.. not so much.

    Tom Loy (247 Sports) gushes over our 2026 class. Fun read.

    TL;dr for indolent -

    • Jermaine Bishop - best pound for pound player in the class, better than Travis Hunter at this stage, likes him even more at safety, Malachi Toney is a comp.

    • Dia Bell - developed in to one of the smoothest, most polished passers in all of high school football

    • Loaded class overall - Atkinson, Okpala, Wesley, Matthews, Cooper, Carlton, Johnson

    • Thinks this class will help us win a title in the next four years.

    • Note - several players mentioned as "day one contributors." Nothing on the OL.

    Tom's Three Thoughts: Texas' 2026 Signing Class

    • Tom Loy avatar

       Tom Loy

      Texas secured the No. 8 recruiting class in the country according to 247Sports. 23 signees from the class of 2026 are set to play for head coach Steve Sarkisian.

      Five-star two-way athlete Jermaine Bishop and quarterback Dia Bell are the two five-star headliners of the class. The group is also loaded with Top100 prospects like linebackers Tyler Atkinson and Kosi Okpala, and edge rusher Richard Wesley. There are another five Top247 signees headed to town.

      Here are three thoughts when looking at the entire class.

      TEXAS LANDED THE BEST POUND FOR POUND FOOTBALL PLAYER IN 2026

      It's nothing you all haven't heard before, but Willis (Texas) High five-star two-way athlete Jermaine Bishop is special. I know some people want to throw around Travis Hunter as the comp, but I think Bishop is actually a better pure football player on both sides of the ball than even Hunter was at this stage in his career. Both are truly incredible talents, though, so that's surely not a slight at either.

      Pound for pound, I'm not sure you'll find a better high school prospect in 2026 than Bishop. The 5-11, 155-pounder is incredible with the ball in his hands. Our own Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins compares Bishop to Miami star freshman receiver Malachi Toney and believes he could be an immediate impact guy day one in Austin. I couldn't agree more. Bishop is just a little different than most as a receiver and could be electric in the slot when he arrives in Austin.

      However, at safety, I think I like Bishop even more on the back end of the defense. He's a difference-maker in the secondary. His ability to roam around, find the football, show his physicality, and put his elite ball skills on display is incredible. His tape is something else.

      If you're Texas, just get him on the field somewhere as soon as possible and let him make your team better.

      TEXAS LANDED A DAMN GOOD ONE IN DIA BELL

      The Elite 11 MVP himself, Dia Bell, signed with Texas in December. The 6-3, 215-pounder committed to the Longhorns early and never wavered, despite a strong push from a variety of programs. He was loyal to the school, and the program showed that same respect back to him when he suffered a season-ending injury, which cut his senior campaign short. 

      That said, I've seen enough from Bell over the years that I am not questioning how talented he is, not in the slightest.

      Bell is incredibly gifted. However, this isn't something that came naturally. I've watched him throw it around since he was in the 8th grade. It didn't always look this clean or this natural. Fast forward a couple of years, and he has transformed into one of the smoothest, most polished passers in all of high school football. He's super clean mechanically. It's all a credit to the work he has put in to put himself in that elite, upper-tier category among the nation's best. Bell is a tremendous talent, a terrific leader, and one day he'll be a Texas captain. No doubt in my mind that he's going to have a special career in Austin.

      THIS CLASS IS LOADED!

      I could go on and on about just about every player in Texas' 2026 recruiting class. This class is truly loaded in every sense of the word.

      Top100 linebacker Tyler Atkinson is outstanding and one of the most day-one-ready defenders this cycle. He's smart, he's a student of the game, he's a football guy, and he's physically ready to help right away.

      What a finish to the high school career for Top100 linebacker Kosi Okpala. Talk about trending up! He's elite.

      Top100 edge rusher Richard Wesley is another immediate impact guy in this class. At No. 80 overall, don't tell our scouting team, but I think he's one of the most underrated guys in the class. 

      Top247 cornerback Samari Matthews may be my favorite player in Texas' class. I think he's one of the surest things from the group and a future All-American.

      Early in his career, I thought Derrek Cooper had the athleticism to be a lockdown, shutdown cornerback. He's that gifted on defense. Then you put the ball in his hands and you realize how special he is at running back.

      Top247 defensive linemen Jamarion Carlton and James Johnson were massive pickups for Texas. Two others that were huge gets and guys that can help you day one.

      I can't say enough good things about the group Steve Sarkisan, the entire coaching staff, general manager Brandon Harris, chief of staff Jared Blank, director of player personnel John Michael Jones, and so many others did this cycle. It's a special, special group of difference-makers that will get Texas over the hump and, in my opinion, back on top as national champions in the next four years. 

    Not sure I agree with his Bishop at safety take. He just said the kid is 155 pounds and he wants to put him at safety in the SEC?

    Scudero had a whopping 60 yards against our vaunted pass defense and. Produced less than 75 yards against defensive powerhouses such as Utah State, Air Force, Nevada and Fresno state. Idk what it is with yall that are so fixated on the guy that played for San Jose state and previously for….checks notes… Sacramento state. Btw, Sacramento, just like San Jose and Fresno, is a city and not a state.

    I swear none of you guys actually watch football. If you don't think this guy could come in and play here, I don't know what to tell you.

    Fair question imo. If you take out LIU and FSU, the numbers aren't exciting. He certainly passed the eye test against Texas but still only 4.0 ypc in that game.

    One thing that's encouraging is 5.3 ypc despite not having a run longer than 26. That means he probably doesn't get stuffed much and is a good short-yardage back.

    He gets all of his yards between the tackles and has very good vision and footwork in traffic. He always goes forward and is the exact type of back that we thought CJ Baxter was going to be. This is the type of guy that really makes Sarks system go, when we can reliably stay ahead of the chains and then dial up shots.

    Apparently biff did some rogue shit and now the expectation is that Whitt is going to coach the bowl game with casula and wink running the shows.

    Hold up.. Are you implying that Biffington Rodolphius Poggi somehow engaged in an activity that was unbecoming to the university, and/or not in the best interest of the team, and/or just some weird shit that only Mike Leach could get away with? I am shocked I tell you. Shocked.

    I was just trying to frame the abject idiocy and absurdity of this singular page in my head when I read your post. Someone new to this site or planet, stumbling into this page for whatever reason, would have no fucking clue what was going on here. None. I think this page is surging in like 4 different directions at once, and almost none of it has anything to do with the actual coaching staff at Texas.

    I don’t hate Tech. Them clowning on aggy brings me joy. But that’s about as far as it goes - I’m not rooting for them in the CFP. I’m hoping for an IU win or UO as a secondary. 

    I would settle for this being Oregon's year so that Phil Knight can take the foot off the gas pedal. 

     

  9. I met my local redass aggy friend for some humble pie this week. He proceeded to tell me how excited he was that they were able to make the playoffs for the first time since the 1940's. (continued below)

    giphy.gif

    When I asked him for clarification, he said that there was a tournament playoff format in college football in the 1940's before the bowl system, and that A&M had participated in said tournament to crown a national champion in the 1940's. Naturally, this sent me to the interwebs to confirm that of course he is an idoit, but there is somehow some more mythical aggie lore circulating around the echo chamber of college station about this. He then went on to tell me how excited he is for next year because he knows that Holman Wiggins is going to be a huge upgrade over Klein because he was at Bama. He also went on to tell me that Reed is going to be in the Heisman conversation next season because he will be a 3 year starter, and that Elko is going to have the defense playing like maniacs next year with a bunch of crazy portal additions.  He is already locked and loaded on the front seat of the rollercoaster and it is going to be so fun to watch.

    We'll probably never know for sure, but perhaps we posited an NIL haircut based on the end-of-season performance review, or at most, refused to match another purported offer. (cue the "but why?" gif) 

    I view him as good, but not great. I'm guessing this means that Arch didn't fight too hard to keep him, either. Whatever--we'll need to hit the portal hard for a proven WR1. 

    Word is that he came back and tried to renegotiate again after two previous negotiations, plus signing day shenanigans when he put a gun to our head and renegotiated then. Quality player, but not worth top tier money.

    Bobby mentioned on YouTube this morning that Reed is asking for a very, very high NIL number for 2026.

    I'd tell him to kick rocks. There are probably 5 QBs already in the portal I would take over Reed in a heartbeat. 

    Everyone made all of this noise about his improvement this year, but I saw the same exact guy as last year. He was a better passer inside of 15 yards, and definitely more decisive, but under pressure he reverted to his mean and just tossed up errant throws for interceptions after his first read was taken away.

    So my LG TV died this morning 41 days after the 5 year warranty expired (get fucked LG). So to watch this game I went to a local bar wearing a Texas hat. 

    By the 3rd quarter I’d educated the bar about how ass backward aggy is and they now know it’s a fake military cult. 

    So I thank LG for helping educate some Pennsylvanians about aggy being aggy.

    This sounds like Jordan Belfort's recounting of his night at the country club to the police in Wolf of Wall Street. Can I get the CCTV footage where you threatened to beat up the bus boy and dry humped the pinball machine?

    I would’ve said Muschamp by a landslide when Sark originally wanted him and still give him the edge now, but less so because PK was impressive 

    I thought PK was excellent. The main gripe I have about him is that he let his secondary coaches call the coverages behind him. That is why we got all of those discombobulated coverages at odd times. Muschamp ties the coverage to the defensive call, which is how it should be.
