I just realized that I get to listen to my in laws talk about soccer for the next year because Trump thinks it’s cool now.

I think they're gonna move shit around to try to best satisfy local TV markets. Thought I read somewhere that the locations will be finalized early next week.

My gut is that we're better than the Aussies, worse than Turkey, and about equal to Paraguay. Not advancing would be a major failure given the format.

Probably Turkey

I can't for the life of me understand why y'all are watching this clown show. Just check ESPN or whatever this evening and save your sanity.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

Jett Walker's tape is just 5 minutes of him running straight ahead through holes you could drive a truck through. It's not even a 1-cut running style, it's like 0-cut. He does have good size, decent straight line speed, and doesn't mind contact. I suppose he's a guy that's happy to come to Texas, play school, get 30 carries a year trucking defenders from SHSU, and be a motherfucker on special teams. -

Okie State probably wishes that were true right about now -
Yeah. It's fine. Doesn't matter. We're just replacing bowls as year-end entertainment at that point. I don't believe that, say, #19 Michigan truly has a chance to get hot and win 5 games in a row and lift the trophy, but it also doesn't hurt anything. More football is good.

You're on the right track. The only thing that makes logical sense would be a complete reorganization of college football into something like you propose. I've always thought that 8 10-team regional conferences with promotion/relegation to 1-AA makes a ton of sense. The problem is that it will never happen. Money is the big reason, but there's a whole lot of practicalities that make it impossible. Reorganization and realignment will continue to happen, but as it has already - in fits and starts, piecemeal, and unequally. That means deciding a champion will always have some fuckery to it. We used to argue about who is #1. Then the BCS came along and we argued about the top 2. Then the playoff and we argued about the top 4. Now it's top 12(ish). If they expand to 16, I guarantee that #17's fans will be pissed off in the first year. We as Texas fans are mad right now, and probably rightly so, but there's diminishing returns on the number of teams you put in the playoffs. The 16th best team doesn't actually have much of a chance to win it all. Honestly I kind of doubt that the 12th best does. Fourth best might. The one change that intrigues me a little bit it just getting rid of the committee. Use a computer, or Elo, or whatever and just be done with it. Publish the parameters that go into the calculation. At least that way everyone knows what they need to do.

Yes, but maybe not enough. IT said that they don't believe both Henry and Lott end up at Oregon, but that USC is in good position with Lott. My guess is that Texas has made it's last and final NIL offer to Lott and that he can get more elsewhere. This shit right here is legit: -

TBH a lot of this just sounds like last minute negotiating. -
Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization

WR will be really interesting. Even if Moore is gone, you've got Wingo, Mosley, Livingstone, Niblett as your gadget guy/returner, McCutcheon whom they seem to like, and then God knows what's going on with Lockett/Ffrench. So a top 4 they're reasonably comfortable with + Niblett + a couple lottery tickets. Sark does love his WRs, but a transfer that can definitely crack that rotation won't be particularly cheap. Feels like money better spent elsewhere to me. For full disclosure, I also thought we were sitting OK at WR two years ago and then we proceeded to bring in Matthew Golden AND Isaiah Bond AND Silas Bolden. So it's likely I don't know shit about fuck. We also have the news that Texas has made a big NIL offer to Chris Henry Jr., and I don't know how to interpret what that means for a transfer WR (if anything). -

"Nothing" was an overstatement, but Barnes is a bit like Sharma to me. Very talented young guy with a bright future, but are you feeling good about having him as your first (and basically only) man up off the bench at stand up LB? I'm sure Atkinson will play some, but more in a situational, get-your-ears-wet role. There's just a big ol' gap at LB in the roster matrix.
