Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Martin is the dad, Bill G. is the dude (Martinās brother) who was injured while celebrating. Gastonās older brother Nico is already kicking in college. If heās good enough, get him to transfer and have lil bro waiting in the wings.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
Leadership (Eltife, Hartzell, CDC) had the balls/stupidity to go all in on a talented dude with a checkered past (albeit one who had rehabbed under Saban, learned the SEC way to do shit, and had a stable of good assistants willing to come with) and hit a bullseye. Throw in (n a big way) the NIL you spoke of, patience with PK, Cristobal leaving Oregon, culture buy-ins from holdovers, good portal evals and you have a complete reversal from the stale (Mack), bad (Charlie) and meh (Mensa) that had been holding us back. And weāre just getting started.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
The much beloved Chip Brown was talking about that possibility January 23rd. The guy seems to be a riser in the business, I suspect a good addition.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
In non-Texas coaching news (but it does involve our next opponent), Chip Kelly is leaving Ohio State to go work as Pete Carrollās offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders. I think that obviously means Jeremiah Smith needs to transfer to us in the spring.

Hudson Card
Hudson seems like a good guy, never rocked the boat and stepped up when Ewers was injured in Quinnās first year and kept us relatively competitive. Heās probably not a legitimate NFL prospect (ceiling would be deep on a depth chart), so thatās why the chuckles. He was burdened by expectations that exceeded his ability (one 9.95er actually compared his arm talent to Aaron Rodgers) and being Nahlinās predicted winner of the competition over Thompson, complete with an Inside Texas sponsorship deal, rankled some (we ended up all being rankled by both). And for a guy who was a productive receiver in HS before getting his shot at QB, he sure wasnāt a very good runner (though he did have a good game once with multiple scrambles while playing on a bad ankle). I would be surprised if anyone has any real animus toward him, itās just people on the internet being dickheads, which is common. Good luck, Hudson.

American Airlines flight 5342 (CRJ) collides with Army UH-60 at DCA.
I donāt think Iāve seen anyone post about the occupants of the plane involved, it seems a large contingent of US figure skaters (perhaps juvenile), coaches and family were onboard. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/us/figure-skaters-dc-plane-crash.html?smid=url-share

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I think thatās a display of maturity and understanding rare in a 9.95er, so I give the dude props. We wonāt win them all, but weāre a player, and if we can muster a championship soon, Death Star fully activated on the player acquisition front.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2027: I remember watching his dad play

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
The word āstartā means fuckall to the way Baker/Nansen/PK rotates the DL. You think Bill Norton gave a shit he wasnāt labeled a āstarter?ā He and Lole played tons, in key situations. We need more players at that position, and youād assume the Ohio State kid has good athleticism with the soccer background. I donāt know where we stand with the Ohio State coaching hire (could he follow Knowles to PSU or be asked to stay in Columbus?), but youād think heād have great insight into whether Kanu can play. And Iām certain heās much further along as a prospect than Mbatchou is, having played a couple years under Larry Johnson.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
By the way, WFAA.com (weird source, but it is what it is) had this long feature on Loreal a couple weeks ago, and all seems good with the couple. It mainly focuses on her personal stylist ambitions. https://www.wfaa.com/article/features/loreal-sarkisian-talks-about-life-fashion-and-football-ahead-of-cotton-bowl-classic-texas-longhorns/287-e455d322-2081-491f-ad01-a5627161dc6b#:~:text=She's a fixture at events,a philanthropic focus and commitment.&text=Now%2C Loreal Sarkisian is a,everyone from CEOs to celebrities.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
If I recall correctly, she was working in the athletic department at Tennessee, not sure if as a promising student/intern or already a graduate and Lane Kiffin convinced her to go work for him at USC. Thatās how Sark knew of her, and now sheās Sarkās right hand woman in the Football offices. Youāll see her be one of the first people to approach the coach after games.

Yes. When they hand out the reads, Hamilton is like the hyper kid on the front row in class who always knows the answer, waving his hand wildly.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
That seems to be a confusing situation, unless itās been clarified and I missed it. He started wearing his wedding ring again, I think sheās worn her ring in social media posts (some from games if I recall) and Loreal was on the stage during at least one of the bowl win celebrations. And no, Iām not confusing her with UT Football exec Kyrah McCowan, like some have. Itās Loreal.

The NJ kid has the look of a top player, and Iām presuming it will be difficult to get him away from the B1G powers or ND, but I see a lot of interaction with aggy. Does not compute.
