  1. Great to see our lone guy at the Senior Bowl show up huge in practice. Having the OL guys there name you top DL over Nolen and other studs is impressive. Here's hoping Mr. Sorrell has a long pro career. https://www.si.com/college/texas/news/barryn-sorrell-earns-2025-senior-bowl-honor-01jjzaywfs16
  2. SIAP. A great interview with Taylor Jones. I've often stated in this forum that I fear her physical ceiling might be too low for us to win a national title in 2025. In part, that's due to her history of injuries. But she's made great strides lately and clearly is one of the main reasons we're where we are. In fact, there's an argument to be made that she's our MVP so far this season. https://cbsaustin.com/amp/sports/college/texas-senior-embracing-the-joy-of-the-game
  3. Yes. Not to mention it's probably easy for the No. 5 team, playing at home against gangly Midwestern farm girls with a mediocre record, to think they can go through the motions and win. Which is more or less what happened, in the end. It just wasn't the sort of game that generates much fan confidence.
  4. Considering Harmon is 1 for 9 and neither Booker nor Jones has taken over, we're surprisingly well off. Put it away and heal up.
  5. We must have jumped out of our female jocks 30 times on defense. Pitiful.
  6. Missouri is pretty bad. Let's quit making them look otherwise.
  7. Earth to Texas. Come in, Texas.
  8. Maybe we'd have enough future 3-point shooting even without Chavez, but I'm highly skeptical at this point. Then again, I'm just as skeptical we can win a national title without more athletic bigs than are currently in the queue. So I'll fall back on my usual approach to recruiting in any sport: "We're Texas. Take them all."
  9. If Kent misses the team's flight we win.
  10. Very winnable game that went about as feared. For a team that "can't rebound," Ole Miss regularly worked us in the paint and took advantage of our inability to go to the hole. More physical than us by far. Really could have used Weaver's grit and energy tonight.
  11. Sadly true. Among our obvious roster flaws. As much an error in recruiting as Xs and Os, but both fall on the HC.
  12. Match their defensive intensity or lose. The stripes tend to favor the more aggressive team, especially at home. Not a new concept, but still true. Once upon a time, we had PGs who drove the ball and guys who cut to get passes. More of those, please.
  13. A little Dillon Mitchell in Pryor's game. In a good way, that is.
  14. Not if you're pulling for our side. He simply can't play meaningful minutes at this level. And I'm not just basing that on tonight.
  15. Samuel Morse would be impressed by how often Kent telegraphs passes.
  16. Sounds like he's physically ready for a lot of snaps and can help bridge the gap to the next wave of young studs. Heroic indeed.
  17. If Kent doesn't play by far his best game of the season, we're probably losing by 10. If he does, maybe it's a coin flip. Unfortunately, he's shown zilch so far.
  18. I thought Mwenentanda's defensive radius and overall quickness were subtle factors in last night's win. I say that without even checking her stat line, but she did seem to complicate a bit of what TN was trying to do offensively. In a tight game, it doesn't take much from an unexpected source to make the difference.
  19. The only reason I don't want Micah Hudson and Johntay Cook both to portal to OU is that Venables then might get them to do a PPV fight to raise NIL funds.
  20. And those few minutes by Preston in Q2 really helped.
  21. Jones with the game of her life. Epic.
  22. Time for Booker to become Booker again.
