  1. he has a really strange season. Looked like an All-American vs OSu and by mid-season he looked pretty bad. Rebounded nicely vs A&M. I think the money angle makes sense. They have 2 young 5 stars that are probably eating up "cap" space at the position. I am sure Texas would have liked to retain him, but this sport is now a business.
  2. Will be fun to see Barnes get a lot of playing time vs Michigan.
  3. Had his moments both ways this season. Room lacks numbers and most of what is left does not shave yet. I would have preferred to have him on the team, but we shall see how it works out. Grabbing at least 1 LB in the portal seems like a lock now.
  4. OnTexas saying it is a Texas decision. Not sure how it played out could be as simple as LeFau thought he was worth X and Texas thinks he worth X*.6
  5. LeFau enters the portal. Sounds like a money situation, but I am sure more will come out.
  6. The senior bowl game is not very important. THe senior bowl practice are very important. More scouting goes on there than the game
  7. I dont think Sark is on the hot seat, but in this NIL world things change fast. I am not sure 9-3 next gets him fired, but you can be sure he would be on the hot seat. The expectation is pretty much get to the playoffs every year. I am not saying it is reasonable, I am just saying that is the world we leave in now.
  8. no argument, but every offseason we talk about the talent and potential. We usually overshoot on our predictions.
  9. It has potential, but outside of McDonald there is nobody that is proven. Safety was a disaster when the 2nd string came in most of the year. Littleton played well for freshmen, but he was not a threat to make an All-SEC team. Loved what I saw out of Phillips and Black late in the year, but hard to know how that looks next year over 12-14 games. Extremely young next year, so any prediction about the secondary being a top unit in the SEC will come with a lot of projection. Can they all play near their ceilings next year? Sure. Is that likely? Probably not. I think Safety needs another adult in the room and at least 2 if McDonald leaves.
  10. Jedd Fisch is on the list. Under the radar long shot Jason Eck.
  11. supposedly he does not have a good relationship with Akina, so this may be a move preparing in case Akina is not let go. We shall see though.
  12. Dronett was a better pass rusher. Burke isnt close in that area.
  13. IF you want a positive there is a lot of sloppiness in these. Clean up that up and the offense looks a lot better.
  14. I get more annoyed on his deep routes. He has not learned to stack the DB and that greatly increases the difficulty of throw. I am not sure this throw is off target to the inside by much. Wingo tends to take the path of least resistance. This is just me guessing, but I believe Sark wants that route to be just inside the numbers to give the throw some room. Wingo cuts it up the sideline and then has to work back to the numbers. Wr getting pinned on the sideline on a vert route is a really difficult throw.
  15. Texas is 14th in yards/attempt in SEC play this year (3.08 yards) Texas was 3rd in yards/attempt in SEC play last year (4.32 yards) That is dramatic drop off, but it is worse when you consider the QB. Arch has 244 yards on 83 carries this year. Quinn had -82 on 57 carries. Texas allowed 23 this year. You could probably double that number with Quinn behind this OL Texas gave up 37 last year.
  16. No issue with the Wingo throw. That is designed to go there and be a 1 vs 1. Nowhere else to really go. This is more Sark asking Wingo to be a #1 Wr, which he is not currently. Moore has to catch that ball. Throwing a 10 yard out to the field side. That ball needs pace, it’s not a short throw
  17. Still waiting for Floods announcement that he put his name into the portal
  18. I think Jackson looks like he will be a star. I am not sure he will eclipse Burke's production next, but I do not think it will be a dramatic drop. Though that is the typical stupid fan opinion that every freshman will be an All-American by the time he is a sophomore. I am more worried about Safety. That is a position were knowing where to be is more important than talent. Though it is way too early to worry about anything. Have to see the portal playout first.
  19. This is bit off. ESPN tried to stop mega-conferences with the Longhorn network. They did not want the SEC and Big 10 to power brokers.
  20. it is a negative to some school, but that is mostly because the schools involved in those do not get the payout. I know the SEC gives travel payments to playoff teams, but postseason payouts are pooled and distributed across the conference. To simplify it Texas will get 1/16 of the Citrus bowl payout but get 1/16 of playoff participants also. The smaller conferences do not have that luxury
  21. There seems to always be a couple 3rd and longs (7-10 yards) a game, where he runs 4 deep routes that nobody turns their head until 12-13 yards. The OL typically gives up pressure and Arch is pretty much a dead man walking. Give me a short crosser or something that gives a receiver a chance to run for it.
  22. Vince was not draft eligible after the 2004 season. I really do not understand how this is applicable to draftable players skipping the game. The game has changed so much that this is really just inapplicable.
  23. The opting out question is so stupid. SEC pools post-season money. Vanderbilt has been a beneficiary of that socialist payout for years. They would definitely hear from Sankey if they attempted to opt out. They would likely see fines at a minimum. There is huge difference between being ND and being in a conference.
  24. He has very good vision that is his elite skill.
  25. I get this and it is completely valid to feel that way, but nobody involved with Texas is going to write Ant Hill a 13mm contract with 6mm signing bonus if he gets hurt. If I was his father, I am telling him to sit his ass on the bench.
