Much like those wetting their pants over the losses, I think anyone definitively claiming that this is all for the best are speaking too soon.

We only have half of the necessary data points at this juncture, any concrete conclusions (for better or worse) about our 2026 roster cannot yet be drawn.

Could it all go to shit? Sure. But the Muschamp hire is great and an awesome data point that we aren’t fucking around and we got this and understand the parameters of the game now. I’m going to choose to be gruntled and optimistic right now and save panic until at least 1/10/2026.

Look at Chuckie over here trying to speak logic and reason to the Surli-ites.

You were pretty sure 3 loss Texas was in the playoffs…

OTOH, I agree that letting Wisner go is the right thing.

LL DID make some game changing plays and was a more than solid backup to Ant Hill and TSmith, and good programs need those types of players. Can’t pay em big $$ though.

Predictions are hard, especially about the future.

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer who lost a horse.

And all the neighbors came around that evening and said "That's too bad."

And he said "Maybe."

Sure, but you gotta do it like that.

When I saw Connor Stroh run out onto the field versus Ohio State in Game 1 I said, "Oh, fuck... we're screwed. Why is he starting? Is someone hurt? Surely he's not the actual starter." to the wife, who didn't care and wasn't paying attention. Assuming a certain amount of dispassionate analysis, knowing with a given amount of certainty you're fucked at a position is worse than having at least some semblance of confidence that you might not be fucked. Or something.

So you jettison the guy you know can't do it, and maybe the next guy can't either, but maybe he can. And if you replace enough of those cannots with enough maybes you can be confident in improvement. I took statistics like 50 years go so I know this stuff.

Predictions aren’t hard, Counselor.

Making ACCURATE predictions is hard.

Anyways, I was more pointing out that you are a rampant optimist when it comes to Texas and that colors your predictions. Nothing wrong with that either.

To be fair, your prediction a 3 loss Texas would make the playoffs wasnt a bad one. It took a lot of games breaking against us to prevent us from getting in. In a year with a normal amount of chaos, Texas makes the CFP.

IT said they are back on portal watch for Cruz and Kibble

Ugh!!

Kibble maybe, but losing Cruz would be a mistake, based on everything we’ve heard. Robertson was solid, no doubt but if Cruz truly has the higher ceiling, then it’s on the staff to develop him. He’s been here three years already. At some point, that’s on coaching.

Literally everything we've heard this season has been that he doesn't love football

He’s a redshirt freshman

I do think an “agent” would be dumb enough to think this would be a great idea that would totally work.

Yesterday on OTF Bobby insinuated that Wisner is being “represented” by someone who is not an actual agent. He said something about his rep being very young in more ways than just age. So someone who has no f***ing clue what they are doing is trying to extort Texas for more money for his “client” based on some fantasy land perception of market value. Smart business says to tell that player and his rep to pound sand 10x out of 10. They are under some illusion they are calling Texas’ bluff…I don’t think Texas is bluffing. Hey Tre, here’s what you’re worth, take it or leave it.
