  1. 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.
  2. He has very good vision that is his elite skill.
  3. 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.
  4. this is a legitimate rebuttal. Only rebuttal I would have is we have seen what the OL looks like with Flood's 1st selection, perhaps the 3rd cut might actually be good.
  5. I am 100% on board with this. I want the guys leaving to enjoy a trip to Disney world and have some popcorn on the sideline during the game. I want to see all the players expected to contribute in 2026 on the field. I would not tell the guys leaving not to play, but I am not going to persuade them to suit up. This is basically a 2026 preseason game in my eyes.
  6. Here is the irony of the CFP. The ACC being comically weak has exposed the format, but the Committee will likely put 2 teams that essentially have ACC schedules in the playoffs (ND, Miami).

    Vasek usually looks good when he is on the field, but the best ability is availability, and he is perma-hurt.

    I think it was IT that said there may be more coaching turnover than expected. Could have been OnTexas, but it was one of them.
  9. He is your typical big Qb with a huge arm. Best HS year was 63% comp, 22 Tds, and 9 ints. He was never very accurrate or showed good decision making.
  10. He is not a plus athlete. I can probably guess why you are saying that, but it is not from watching him play.
  11. There will always be arguments about the last team, but the arguments have much less meaning as you expand the playoffs. It was a massive deal when it was #2 vs #3 (call it 40%-50% chance to a NC vs 0%). You get to 24 and it is something like 2% vs 0%
  12. There is nothing wrong with 12 personnel inherently, but the key for this formation is having TE versatility. You really want guys that can block and run routes. Texas has continually had issues with blocking from the TEs. That limits the effectiveness of the formation.
  13. lot of air on that pass (unusual), so Arch gave him the time to adjust. Cannot fault a throw after he is flushed and sprinting out of the pocket. Goes to his ability to move in the pocket, keep his eyes up, and continue reading the field. Most QBs would have kept it and got 5-8 yards on the run.
  14. I wasnt complicating anything. I just said get rid of any guaranteed spots. That seems pretty simple to me, just end the athletic DEI nonsense
  15. College football is a bit different than other sports. Most sports have conferences where every team play each other and, in many cases, it is a home and home. In that world the conference championship is decided on the field. There is a lot more luck and nuance in CFB

    I think we all saw the warts in the terrible roster management this season, so this should be obvious. Easy examples are the OL and RB room. I said in another thread that Texas missing the playoffs might be best for the future of Sark and Texas. If Texas got into the playoffs Sark could ignore the issues and say he and his staff did a good job. Missing the playoffs should make him re-evaluate the entire program. I would be more worried if @closetojumping said he thought 5-8 would be the number. That would mean Sark is sitting pat and did not see the issues that many of us saw.
  17. On the face of it that makes 100% sense, but there is also a major drawback. This is going to eliminate championship quality teams in the big 10 and SEC and elevate teams like ND and the other P4 conferences. Why should the SEC have a playoff, while ND sits back with a bowl of popcorn and watches? Perhaps the simplest answer is that there should be no automatic bids for conferences champions. Given the unbalanced schedules we cannot even guarantee the 2 best teams will play for the conference championship (this year the committee says 50% of the P4 will match the 2 best teams in the conference). This is not like 20-30 years ago when everyone played each other. We have diluted conference championships.

    the majority of that is probably good attrition. The question will be how many guys Texas will lose that the staff wants to keep. There will be some, but you hope it is a small number

    Wisner has exceptional vision and patience, its why he runs OZ well. He lacks elite physical traits. The fact that he did not even start on his HS team as a senior is evidence of that. He is solid football player and would be a very good 3rd down RB with a spot in the rotation. I would love him to be on the roster next year but he should not be the lead back at a place like Texas.
  20. i think you budget is a little light if you want to attract teams.
  21. People who do that are not taken very seriously, but there is also a reason for it. There are very few data pts between conferences. Texas has played Georgia more than A&M has and that is within the SEC. Imagine how bad it is between the SEC and other conferences. Only way to increase the inter-conference games is if the P4 made a scheduling mandate between all 4. I would love that to happen, but I highly doubt that will ever happen
  22. The problem for Texas is the argument is about 12 games, SOS, and quality wins. You have to take a comprehensive look at their resume. Sports is not good at that in general. People want to latch on to something like worst loss (Florida) or best (win). That is what gains traction on social media. Texas beats Florida that are in. Texas gets an easy W by swapping out the OSU game, they are in. Beats Georgia, Texas is in. All 3 of those statements are correct, but people will hang on to the Florida loss because that is what they heard from the media. There is no use arguing. They are going to continue to repeat, what they have been told.
  23. I think we all thought Texas had reached that Bama/Georgia level, where you just reload. We saw some holes in development and roster management. Hoping that gets sorted out this offseason.
  24. Wingo just has inconsistent hands; there is no need for a qualifier. He does not run great routes. Right now, he is an athlete playing WR. He has 1st round potential, but he is not close to that ceiling in the current iteration.
  25. Remember this play. One of the best plays I have seen from a QB. He also layered that in, which is something he needs to work on. He can play in a dirty pocket. He can get through his reads. That is something most draft eligible QBs do not have a ton a film displaying. Hopefully, we get to see what he looks like behind an OL that can give him clean pockets.
