We had 26 fumbles, lost 12.

Our opponents had 24 and lost 9.

2023, we fumbled 19 times to our opponents 14.

Back to 2022, we only had 9 fumbles and our opponents 11.

Yeah, only recovering 9 feels way low. Well, maybe not way low but shit you’d think 50/50 at worst.

i'm assuming they'll scrimmage next Saturday and the following Saturday?  feels like thats how they typically do things.

Definitely scrimmages 16th and 23rd per the statesmen and other websites. I know I heard in a IT or one of the OTF YouTube videos, the first one is 9 days after practice starts which is next week. 3 is normal. 1st one everyone goes ape shit cause the defense wins. Then the 2nd one nerves settle(depending on injuries). And the 3rd no one cares about because it's game week right after.

Baxter fumble kinda cost us the NC appearance 2 years ago. Not that it's his fault we still should've fucking won.

Blue lost a fucking fumble that game too.

Update for today from Bobby with some interesting takes on the younger players. 

*****

Texas will hold its fourth practice of training camp later today. It’s scheduled to begin at 6:30pm, just like last night.

The first two practices were held in the mid-afternoon of the Texas heat. They’re meant to get a team prepared for the worst conditions.

The team got a real feel for that. One Texas player was severely dehydrated and subsequently missed the next couple of practices (yes, I know who it is, but, no, I’m not going to name them).

Bottom line, the message from coaches is clear: stay hydrated, get your rest and treat your body right because this is an extremely taxing sport, especially in the middle of summer.

**

There’s a little positive chatter behind the scenes on recruiting.

Texas is gaining some confidence on a pair of players currently committed elsewhere.

**

There are so many talented young players on this roster, a few of them are already looking to leapfrog talented veterans or at least solidify a spot in the rotation either as a starter or key back-up.

Those players (so far) include:

- WR Daylon McCutcheon

- TE Emaree Winston

- OL Nick Brooks

- DT Josiah Sharma

- DE Lance Jackson

- NB Graceson Littleton

Others to watch for:

- WR Michael Terry

- TE Nick Townsend

- OL Jackson Christian

- DE-DT Justus Terry

- CB Kade Phillips*

- S Jonah Williams*

* Neither Phillips nor Williams practiced the first two days. But both have been received positive reviews through summer training, enough so to merit inclusion on this list.

**

KJ Lacey, Jamie Ffrench, Kaliq Lockett, Jordan Coleman, Zelus Hicks, Myron Charles, and Bo Barnes all look the part early but are not situated to make a major positional impact early. However, Hicks and Barnes could absolutely be major contributors on special teams. Lockett might also get some early run there, too. He was surprisingly good as a gunner and blocker in early punting practice reps.

**

We’ll keep our ears to the ground for more practice notes for you.

Hook’Em!

Looks like Jackson Christian is turning out to be the Parker Livingstone of the OL

A guy that would literally be the best receiver in the NFL right now beat a true freshman corner that should’ve still been in his spring semester of high school? Shocking.

Was trying to find out how many Ewers had by himself and AI said 20 in the 2024 season. No way that's correct, right? Feels like he was in double digits though, but I couldn't find the right number.

I can remember 3 that had weird bounces right back to the other team or just unlucky recovery situations.

Between us and then looking at our collective opponents versus us, you have to go back to 2018 when we lost 5 of 16 fumbles at 31% for worse than the 34% we recovered last year.

So probably a reasonable assumption that we weren’t lucky in that department last year.

The most annoying thing this past offseason was watching Texas fans on various boards take turns on who could be the most pessimistic on CJ Baxter's health. My personal favorite was a guy on OTF who, after Baxter was cleared to rejoin team activities in May, said confidently that we shouldn't expect to see Baxter at all until the 2026 season. Upvotes all around, for this brave take. 

Hell we had guys here last week talking about how Baxter will miss the first month or six weeks of the season. Well that would be pretty strange for a guy getting first team reps on July 30th, now wouldn't it. Anyway, it's great to see him looking good this early.

Who to believer.....CJ Vogel and Gerry Hamilton or IT?

They're not that far off. One says expect him to play, the other says don't expect to see much of him. Whatever. The next month will decide that.

Ryan Wingo and DJ Campbell

The sophomore wide receiver and senior offensive guard participated in the first practice but missed the second and third. Smart money says they won’t be back until Monday. While the issues aren’t something that should hamper them long term, they could each use a very productive August to springboard into the season.

They are two of the most important players to Texas’ success this year.

So Wingo and Campbell had issues with dehydration which caused them to miss two days of practice.

I feel similar about Christian Clark. He was a big question mark because of the Achilles, and mentions of him looking good have pretty much been glossed over.  Either as unreliable at this stage of camp, or inconsequential i guess.

"The Football Database" says Quinn had 6 fumbles, 5 of which were lost.  I have no idea if that's accurate.

worse than the fumbles was the not stepping up in the pocket on 4th and 5 to deliver a ball to a guy wide open across the middle and he has to stop and dive to catch it and not make the first down

 

 

 

 

not the thread for this I know

It's embarrassing. They seem like traffic on 35. They just don't go away. We have some shit clowns covering most of Texas sports on print side of things. Never had to deal with them down here in South Texas. Just glad and blessed that we have had bill schoening and Craig way call the games my entire life. I do love to listen to the Aggie commentators especially when they are loosing on the radio.

It is August.  Sanchez turns 19 in two months. How the fuck should he still be in his spring semester of high school?

I thought cfj was talking about a spring practice, not one that just happened.

This is going to be bonkers.

 

 

 

Its likely not going to be, but thats terrific marketing and sign me up for it. 

In reality, its game one with a lot of new players and a bunch of stuff changing. I think its going to be awesome, but teams don't even have their identity game one with the kind of veteran turnover both of these teams have had. Brand new identities need to be forged and this will make a lasting impression on who these teams eventually become.

I hope it's a one sided ass kicking where Texas runs Ohio State out of their own stadium, just like Michigan.
