isn't that chris hall

This video would be funny if it wasn't so goddamn stressful to watch live. The play at 0:53 where Suh destroys Hall and then Hall passively watches Suh basically suplex Colt is an all-time post-2006 Texas-MacWhorter-OL moment

 

Also, big shoutout to Greg Davis for thinking it was a good idea to run our star QB inside and right into the best defensive player in CFB that season. And to do it behind THAT OL. An unfortunate portent of things to come

Every time I check this thread for the latest recruiting news, you fuckers are reliving the worst moments in Texas history.

I'll never forget my Dad and I listening to the radio call of that debacle unfolding in the car.

We were in disbelief, and then the car overheated in Bailey's Prairie, Texas, of all places to break down, on October 17, 1981.

42-11 -- Still too soon!

I still think that cocksucker coach of piggy back then, Lou Holtz, had Texas' headsets bugged. 

Fuck Lou Holtz!

Interestingly, it looks like the House settlement might be back in court soon.

 


You just promise and pay players and if the NCAA does anything against you simply sue and you are almost certainly going to win. I cannot imagine anyone respecting any kind of salary cap, soft or otherwise. Now it’s just the question of if that player is worth the price based on your budget.

Article on Derrek Cooper, from the Miami 247 guy.  

Cooper's comments on Texas make it sound like he may pick Miami, but the Texas recruitment will continue.

First, Copper's Texas comments, and then some posts from the thread.  The mention of Texas sets people off ... lulz.

(The full note is spoilered, at the end.)

 

On Texas: "Texas has been good. They've been reaching out a lot too. They're a big SEC school. It would be great to play for them. I'm still going to take the [official visit] later in the season."

Top247 RB Derrek Cooper breaks down finalists ahead of a commitment

Gaby Urrutia (Miami 247)
 

One of the nation's top uncommitted prospects is just a week away from announcing his decision.

Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna Top247 running back Derrek Cooper has narrowed things down to five schools: Miami, Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, and Florida State.

On July 20, Cooper plans to tell the world where he's playing his college football.

"I feel great getting it over with, getting into the season so I can play," Cooper told InsideTheU while checking in at the Crib Classic on Saturday morning.

Cooper touched on each of his five finalists.

On Miami: "I'm good with Miami right now. It's close to home. They've always been in contact with me. Conversations with [Matt Merritt] have been good. We've been chatting it up every day."

On Texas: "Texas has been good. They've been reaching out a lot too. They're a big SEC school. It would be great to play for them. I'm still going to take the [official visit] later in the season."

On Ohio State: "I feel great about Ohio State. [Carlos Locklyn] and Ryan Day, really good coaches. I like how they used Treyveon Henderson in the passing game."

On Georgia: "Georgia stands high on my list. [Josh Crawford] and [Kirby Smart] both great coaches. They stay in contact with me every day."

On Florida State: I love [Mike Norvell] and [David Johnson].

Cooper hasn't yet come to a decision.

"Still figuring this thing out. It's going to be a hard choice to pick, but hopefully I make the right choice," Cooper said. "Just being comfortable with the place. I want to be developed to the next level, the league. I want to be coached by the best."

As a junior, Cooper totaled 905 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground, while adding 9 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown as a pass catcher.

He is considered the No. 39 overall prospect in the Class of 2025. Cooper is the sixth-highest-ranked prospect yet to commit to a school.

Yeah... fucking Greg Davis... The way I would channel my frustration was to bellow out, "We Love You Greg Davis!" as the punt team would roll onto the field.  Was something to giggle at against the damn frustration.  And better than a string of F bombs... or more accurately... more F bombs...

If I remember correctly, Bobby stated in a recent C&F segment that Texas should take a TE this class even though they really like Townsend and Winston and things were looking bleak on the recruiting front. His comments this morning about the staff potentially skipping on TE this class is a reversal and telling of how Texas sees the TE big board for this year.

In past episodes he’s gone on at length about how much they like the two they took last year.  Presumably taking one this year who isn’t clearly going to compete with them for playing time is a bit of a luxury.

They really like the transfer TE so Winston and Townsend and Washington will play secondary roles. If Endries stays 2 years, there isn't a huge glaring need to have a guy sit for 2 years at the NIL he would command. This means that Texas will take a TE opportunistically this year but won't dedicate a huge chunk of money.

Even if we somehow pull the upset and get Prothro today, it will stretch the notion of having picked up a TE. Dude seems like a hybrid receiver, and he evidently expects to leave real blocking to others. But that's Sark's business to sort out, should we beat everyone for the kid.

I'm more curious about the bunch of TEs already in the room. It would seem hard to keep Townsend's talent off the field, and Winston has impressed the staff already. Then there's Washington, who has potential when healthy. If Endries doesn't go pro in 2026, I'll be surprised if all these other guys finish at Texas.

Bobby’s connection on the coaching staff told him they expect an All Sec or All American type season from him and that he’s been the most surprising player during summer workouts.  If that’s true, I would think he’s a one year player.

I like this idea!

I like this idea too!

 

this is the kind of out of the box creativity that we need to be successful here.  I just wish he’d keep it quiet so that we maintain the competitive advantage.

My absolute favorite part of that game was how GDGD was calling drop back pass after drop back pass. I kept screaming "what the fuck are you doing????!!!!" at the TV screen.

I know there is a lot of sky is falling shit but this year has been very unique.

Using the 247 combine rankings.

There would be 8 different schools with a top 10 guy with LSU having 2 with Keys and Lamar Brown if Atkinson ends up at Georgia, 9 if he follows his legend of a trainer to Texas. You get 7 more schools with recruits in the top 20 with two uncommitted players.

The only teams with 2 top 20 guys are Texas, Oregon, LSU and Georgia.

Schools like BYU, Houston, Maryland, Tech and Miami all have top 20 players and Washington has one at 22.

We will see where it all shakes out in December but the landscape is shifting god forbid to a more NFL like style with way more parity. The playoff and the fact every game is broadcast also makes it more possible for these other schools.

I still really like where we sit and I think you still have a top 3 with resources with that being Oregon, Ohio State, Texas.

LSU, Alabama and Georgia are still gonna pull recruits and Notre Dame has Freeman who is good recruiter.

This year at Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia we need to repeat what we did at Alabama in 2023.

Beat their ass on the field, go up to the recruits in the stands, and tell them they need to come to Texas.

the way that Bobby has been talking about him lately made me think he knows something a lot of us don't yet know.  hope that is correct.

Outside of hyping up Cooper he’s also spent time each video talking about the need for a game changing runningback at every opportunity
