  1. I would agree. Just highlighting that the OSU is the real wild card in this game. There will be 0 film on them. There is a chance Patricia comes out and surprises Sark getting the advantage. There is probably a better chance that OSU comes out a bit disorganized
  2. Ohio State knows what to expect from Texas, but OSU is kind of a wild card. They have new coordinators on both sides (though Day will have his stamp on the offense). Hartline was a bit pass happy his first time around. We will see what Patricia does in college. I am hoping Patricia over complicates the defense and it takes him awhile to find his groove similar to Wink Martindale at Michigan last year.
  3. Reminds me of an old quote that is pertinent to this discussion. "Be careful whose toes you step on today, they may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow."
  4. Nothing if you become a manager at Walmart. If you get into finance, especially managing money, there is a good chance you will run into them.
  5. Not sure what you for a living, but if I tweeted that out it would be one long ass discussion. UT has ~47B endowment. Massive alumni. Corporations dont care, but you never know if the guy you are asking money or business from is a batshit crazy UT fan. This has been beaten to death and not recruit related, so I am bowing out.
  6. Georgia or ND will not do that over this, but it has happened in the past. I am being old school on this, but being intentional on your public appearance is just being intelligent. None of these posts likely matter, but why post something with only downside.
  7. Very true. Most on here never had to worry about their teen years being documented. I would be cleaning bathroom stalls if that was the case. Just saying kids need to be more intentional these days.
  8. The first thing a company will do is look through your social media before hiring you. The comment is not that it is likely to have an effect on a job opportunity, but how can this help you? There is a reason I tell my children not to post stupid shit on social media. It only takes one little angry man in HR to get upset about a post to for you to miss out on an opportunity. Again risk vs reward.
  9. Even for teenagers this is amazingly ignorant. History would argue that NFL Hall of Famers like Bobby Layne, Sammy Baugh, Earl, Doak Wlaker, Dickerson, Darell Greene, Singeltary, Bob Lily, John Randle, Steve McMichael, etc did pretty well staying home. Not to mention things on social media live forever. Why would you ever put something out that could offend businesses in a state with a GDP ~2.7 trillion. That is the 2nd highest GDP in the country and would be around 8th vs the world (ahead of countries like Italy, Brazil, Canada, Russia, and Mexico). Parents of these kids need to slap them upside the head and teach them about risk vs reward.
  10. Issues were more around accuracy in the intermediate and deep passing game. That and the high propensity for self-sacking. I hope to see Arch improve on those areas. Arch's numbers are too small to really draw any conclusions from, but he was better on the deep ball. He did struggle with pressure to sack numbers. We shall see how many starts it takes for Arch to fully unlock his potential.
  11. Ewers is really good at some of those. He throws a really nice swing pass and screens. That is Ewer’s best throw (elite). Manning actually behind there. Mid-range, deep ball, mobility, etc go to Manning
  12. I think a good run game makes playing QB easier, but doesnt necessarily mean great QB play. One reason I am a big Borrow fan is his ability under pressure. His passer rating is less than 10 pts lower with pressure, than with a clean pocket. Most QBs are 35-40 pts apart. That includes names like Mahommes, Allen, Hurts, etc.. How you play when the environment isn’t favorable is what defines great play from a player to me. This is an area I believe Arch can help improve the offense next year. Just think Bijan. He would make defenders miss all the time in the backfield. That was more impressive to me than watching Chris Warren run for almost 300 yards vs Tech with holes my old ass could get 3-4 yards
  13. I take that as basically Ant Hill. Ant is an ILB with excellent pass rushing skills (think he led Texas in pressures per rush last year). He lines up at ILB 90% of the time but will bump out to the edge in some pass rushing packages/play calls. I am assuming this is going to be the general LB pitch the next few years. "We love you as an ILB, but we also see pass rushing potential. We envision using you like Ant Hill, who we think will be an early round draft pick and All American". Kind of like how every Nickel recruit will be pitched on the Jahdae Barron plan the next few years.
  14. it makes no sense. The kid had no firm commitment date only a couple days ago. I am supposed to believe he randomly decided to set a commitment date with 0 inkling of where he was going? GTFOH
  15. Just because Texas has one of the largest NIL pools, it does not mean they will be the highest bidder in every recruitment. Its like any market, you are generally at the whim of the dumbest buyer. Texas has navigated this market well and we have seen that with strong closes in the last few classes. Perhaps I have buried my head in the sand, but I think this cycle will play out similarly.
