Chris Thompson replied to Ehlinger's tweet with "GOAT". Nice to see the swagger influencing recruits.

So Texas national recruiting has landed recruits ranked 9, 49, 67, 131, 145, 170, 190, 221, 291 and 437. Consider that in 2017 our top ranked recruits from anywhere were 119, 162, 204, 234, 302, and 499... Basically our out of state recruiting alone would be a top 15 recruiting class.

So this causes USC to intervene with him before he enters the portal rather than after. Okay.

I know there was a "reactions from recruits" thing from EJ but I havent seen it because we're too busy in this thread getting played like a fiddle by Jimbo.

Why are the parents wearing matching shirts? Weird family. Do not want.

Nussmeir is a terrible offensive coordinator. Here are some of his offenses. 2014 Michigan: 20.9 points per game 2015 Florida: 23.2 points per game (total of 24 points in their last three games) 2016 Florida: 23.9 points per game 2017 Florida: 21.8 points per game What did Florida do in 2018 after Nussmeir left? Average 35 points a game. What did Michigan do in 2015 after he left? Average 31 points per game. The dude follows Shawn Watson's book of failing upwards. This would be an absolute disaster of a hire.

Do you think Jerry hires a spread/innovative/college type or just goes after another NFL failure? Other than McDaniels, none of the OCs left in the playoffs are really in charge of the offense.

Sorry. Meant Tim Beck as a QB coach.

This might sound crazy, but I honestly think Tim Beck would be a good hire for the Cowboys. As much as we shit on him last year, even his style would be groundbreaking for the Cowboys. And I think he'd groom Dak well.

I'm curious to see how Riley develops him. They'll certainly need to adapt the offense a bit for him. Hurts has 48 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions after 3 years. As much as I want this move to hurt OU, realistically, I expect them to win about 10 games and Hurts to play better for them than he ever did for Bama. I think Texas can beat OU either way, but I bet Hurts destroys most of the conference.

Their 1st round pick will probably be in the top 5. There is no way they include that.

Orlando has way too many bigs (Vucevic, Bamba, Isaac, Gordon, etc). Bamba plays 16 minutes a game for them. They start DJ Augustin at guard... I just feel like it's something they might consider. Helps both teams.

From Orlando I'd take: Bamba or Isaac straight up. Maybe we could get Vucevic if we paired it with Wes' expiring and Orlando has realized they can't win with him. From Phoenix the options are much less appealing. I guess Josh Jackson, but DSJ seems like a surer bet than he is. Anything else from Phoenix would need to be multiple pieces or future picks, which I doubt Dallas wants.

In addition to a new OC, I think the Cowboys' offense needs a big target. I'd be happy if we took one of the 6-5 Big 12 receivers (LJH, Hakeem Butler, Antoine Wesley, David Sills) late in the draft. I think Dak needs a bail-out option.

How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon Hamlet over The Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Last Emperor over Broadcast News Driving Miss Daisy winning at all Dances With Wolves over Goodfellas Forrest Gump over Shawshank Boogie Nights not getting nominated Titanic over Good Will Hunting Chicago over The Pianist King's Speech over The Social Network It seems like the 50s, 60s and 70s were the glory days of actually getting the best movies the award the most often.

Where does his sister attend? Maybe he'll transfer there.

NFL QBs seem safer than college QBs these days. You can't sack them at their legs. You can't hit them in the head. You can't take them to the ground. The league isn't what it once was. Kyler Murray annoys me and OU sucks, but everything that was said about why he wouldn't succeed this year at OU is now going to be said about why he won't succeed in the NFL.

So this thread is just going to repeat itself again? This time with the NFL?

The slot competition between Moore, Smith and Whittington will be fun to watch.

The QB sweep play and the QB draw on 3rd and 14 were both very reminiscent of Ehlinger in the Sugar Bowl. When they design plays for Dak to run, he almost always does well.

Double post

As much as I want LJH to return, we have more talent at slot than any other position on the team. Moore, Whittington and Smith will be good. Set either way.

I can't help but look forward, and I'm fully capable of enjoying the Sugar Bowl win while simultaneously getting excited about next season. It seems to me we have several things going in our favor to reach the playoffs next year. 1. Every Big 12 school that handed Texas a loss (OU, OSU, WVU) will be breaking in a new starting QB next season. Almost half the conference (KU, KSU, TTU, WVU) will be in the 1st year with a new head coach. The conference was relatively down this season, but could be even more so next year. Oklahoma will always be dangerous, but Texas was already in their class before OU loses Murray and Brown. 2. If Humphrey and Johnson return, the offense should enter the season with more confidence than any group since the 2008 team. Three years with one system is huge. Three years with the exact same starting QB and WRs in the same system is even bigger. The only thing we haven't seen from this offense was big plays, and I think Whittington and Jake Smith could help remedy that. 3. The amount of seniors Texas will lose on defense is pretty ridiculous (Omenihu, Nelson, Hager, Wheeler, Johnson, Locke, Boyd, Davis), but the most encouraging thing about the Sugar Bowl was the play of Koburn, Ossai and Foster to go along with Sterns performance earlier in the season. If we do make the playoffs in 2019, it's going to be because the defensive recruiting class of 2018 saved our asses. And as good as those seniors were, none of them were the kind of violent pass rushers that I think Ossai, De'Gabriel Floyd and Caleb Johnson can be. Orlando hasn't had the kind of destructive force at Texas that he had at Houston. It really comes down to three huge factors. Can Texas recruit LJH and Collin to stay? Can Green, Cook, and Jamison become quality corners by September? And can three of Angilau, Okafor, Hudson, Tyler Johnson, Ghrimai, Reese Moore or Imade become productive starters?

I like McCay and pretty much everyone involved in this. I think Cheney is a terrible person. I agree with much of this film. Having said all that, I don't think it was very good. The McCay-like things (Shakespearean soliloquy, breaking 4th wall narrator, fake news caster Naomi Watts) just didn't really work this time. Both First Man and Vice fall victim to the fact that they are movies about people who aren't very interesting to watch for more than a few minutes.

Seeing Bama actually go after Kyler makes me regret our strategy of telling our pass rushers to just stand there and look at him.
