  1. I don't know whether he took anything off IG or not, BUT, Bowman is listening to OU. His decision will come down to which staff sells him best on how they plan to use him (he wants an opportunity to play both sides of the ball). One staff has told him he's only playing one side, the other staff is selling him on an opportunity for both. There is a cause for concern, albeit a small one right now.
  2. FIFY And for the record, I am on board with meeting their requests and making necessary changes. But I'm also tired of this generation and their expectation of instant gratification, and when they don't get it they want to take their ball and go home. DO admits in his note that steps are being taken...sorry they aren't quite moving at the pace he'd like.
  3. Kam Fields in the portal? Not sure I like that.
  4. Sorry if this has already been posted, but I didn't feel like going through the 15 pages I've missed today. I received this picture in a text from a SA at UT, and supposedly this is what they are proposing. And now I'm confused. I thought they wanted the whole song gone because of its ties to a minstrel show. That does not appear to be the case. They are requesting lyrics changes, and I'm not sure why they chose the lyrics they did to replace. And we are keeping it to the tune of "I've been working on the railroad" so it can't be that, and we are keeping "The Eyes of Texas" even though those lyrics could be argued against because Robert E. Lee said them. I'm good with making changes to make this less racially based, but I seriously do not understand this whole thing at all if we are only changing a few lyrics.
  5. Same girl who spends A LOT of time in Austin. Funny how things work out.
  6. Waste of money and resources.
  7. I'm glad Miranda, Shannon and Kaitlyn are coming back, but I''m going to remain skeptical that it'll happen until they officially step on the field. There are still a lot of moving parts and unknowns that have to be answered. All the NCAA did was say they could come back, and gave a year of eligibility back to all spring sports athletes. That's it. Conferences and Schools will be able to decide whether they allow it or not, and before the decision by the NCAA, the Big 12 was not on board with giving eligibility back. SEC and ACC wanted all athletes to get a year, PAC wanted only seniors, and the Big 12 and Big 10 did not want anyone getting a year. Another factor will be the finances. It is up to the school to pay the returning seniors scholarship. Below are the rules the NCAA put in place regarding returning seniors and scholarship money: A returning senior can receive up to the amount they were on in 19/20. They may not receive more. Any scholarship money given to a returning senior will not count against the program limit of 12. If a returning senior transfers, any scholarship money they get from the new school will count against the program limit of 12. Some schools can't pay and some won't pay. With the loss of money each school receives from the NCAA, can't will be a real factor for a lot of schools. And that's assuming college football season happens in the fall. If not, watch out. But here's where it gets real tricky...the scholarship relief is only for next year and the returning seniors. After next year, it's back to 12. So coaches are going to have a decision to make, keep your now Juniors, or keep your 2021 recruits. Unless players on either side start giving up money, something will have to give. So for White, decision will be to keep and pay Lauren Burke, Janae Jefferson, Taylor Ellsworth, Ariana Adams, MK Tedder and Mary Iakopo...or drop them and pick up the 2021 commits Katie Cimusz, Sophia Simpson, Nelia Peraltz and Ashton Maloney. And that decision will have to happen by November. And another layer to that is the coaches may not have the choice, because of scholarship rules and language, if the current Juniors choose to come back their scholarship will be honored. So if all of the current Juniors choose to return, there may not be an money for 2021's. And lastly, the Freshman class for 20/21 will now be 10. The four from this season (Popelka, Marder, Corona and Green) will be FR again and you're now adding Ratcliff, Smith, Washington, Whitaker, White and Williams.
  8. Saw on Twitter that KWash is coming back. Great news!
  9. The plan right now is for it to be the FR coming in, Alyssa Washington. But it wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being someone off the transfer portal.
  10. Don't 100% quote me yet on those four, just what I've heard. I think money may end up being a big factor. The only way I can conceivably see this working is the NCAA granting the Seniors another year, but on their own dime. I think that will eliminate a majority of Seniors wanting to come back, and not just here.
  11. Don't blame West Virginia...they are just using their moonshine as a cure all, and it's working.
  12. Rhodes is coming back, I don't think the other four are (Washington, Hathaway, Slack, Dermargosian)
  13. That middle post by CarolinaAg...wtf? It’s almost like September 10, 2005 never happened. Dumbfuck aggy
  14. I'd be all for Akina coming back, IF we set him up with a young protege for him to mentor for the future. Pick any of his former UT players and let Akina teach him how to coach. Then in a year or two, pass the torch.
  15. I posted about this a while ago. Naivar and Washington shouldn't necessarily get a "free pass", but I don't think they should be getting hammered as hard as they are either. I had someone tell me that the defense spent about 90% of their practice time working on nothing but blitzes. The defensive assistants often asked for position work time and were rarely granted it. Orlando did not put any time and effort into player development, he solely cared about his scheme. I'm not overly surprised that our players looked "coached up" last night.
  16. I remember hearing on one of the podcasts that Ash wasn't allowed to do any on-field coaching until after the bowl. He could do meetings and film, but that's it.
  17. Just showed everyone why Orland was a shitty coach and had to go.
  18. I apologize in advance, and I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but why is Brandon Jones not playing tonight?
  19. Sorry, but this x 1000. Cut from the same mold as CJ in terms of durability and desire.
  20. CJ will be why the “soft” label returns to UT draftees (assuming it ever left)
  21. Check post #185 above to see why it's time for CJ to move on.
  22. 104.9 said he won't coach the bowl game, but will be involved in game prep. Given that he was already an analyst, I'm guessing he's already been working some.
  23. My thoughts exactly. What do you think he spent more time on, hiring coaches or designing shoes?
  24. It certainly is when no one wants to work for you and your program is being referred to as the “Titanic” amongst high school football coaches.
