Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
Playing like ass and getting swept by the Angels is probably not a good sign for our playoff hopes.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Every $9.95er update since like April has been essentially “every single player on the team looks like an All-American”. Yet I don’t remember a single blurb about Baker. Now we’ve got chatter that a true freshman could win that job. They’re clearly not satisfied with the guy.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Read that they used a piece of his intestine to create a pseudo bladder. Dunno if that's SOP or what.

I like the cut of your jib. But Moore has to like REALLY shit the bed to get canned, right? I think the way they finished last year bought him some goodwill.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Oregon and Michigan being the other two finalists doesn’t indicate that we’re going to be able to come back at the 11th hour and moneywhip Benjamin if we want to. Those two don’t have much of a problem matching or exceeding whatever we can do. FWIW, I have the same concern about Malakai Lee. I’m glad we decided we want Kreul. If he grows a little bit then you’ve really got something. If not then he can transfer to Temple and terrorize the AAC. Also, maybe y’all could shut the fuck up with the movie horseshit for 5 seconds while we have a little nugget to discuss?

- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Zero TDs last year. Jerruh: “let’s make him the 7th highest paid TE in the league!!”- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I read that RB’s name as Hitler every single time.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Kreul has a nice array of moves for a guy still in high school. Excellent first step, as advertised. You just worry that he's maxed out already because of his advanced technique. I see him as a nice-to-have, not a must-have.- What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?
Well it will be kinda funny to watch human slime Gianni Infantino continue to lick boots as Trump fucks up his tournament.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
I actually really like the guy. I’ve listened to him on a lot of podcasts and stuff and he seems like a genuinely good guy. Great story. But, #1) he’s not very good, and #2) every career choice he makes is baffling. It’s a tough indictment of the rest of our pool that the guy is anywhere near the #1 spot.- Severance (Apple TV)
Just got done binging. Great show. Needs better editing, though. They love to stretch 20 second scenes into 5 minute scenes. We wasted a ton of time with Reghabi for that subplot to all come to nothing.- Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!
Not to worry, the good voters of the state of Texas will certainly hold him accountable for brazenly breaking the law while serving as the state's AG.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
A few stats I pulled regarding summer recruiting. This is all from 247's database. Could be off +/- a guy here or there, but it's probably in the right ballpark. In 2024, we had 41 guys OV during the two June weekends. That doesn't count a random guy that visited by himself in early June or the punter. It does count Ty'Anthony Smith, who visited midweek between the two weekends. 19 of our eventual 21 signees (again not counting the punter, but counting Smith) came from those two OV weekends (90%). 19 commits out of 41 June OVs is a close rate of 46%. The two additional signees OV'ed in December (Filsaime) and January (Butler) 12 of the 19 (63%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes Trey Owens, who had committed before June OVs 2 players committed elsewhere following OVs before eventually flipping to Texas (Wardell Mack/Florida and Smith/aggy). 2 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped to someone else (Aeryn Hampton/Bama, D'Antre Robinson/Florida). In 2025, we had 42 guys OV during three June weekends. That counts 3 guys that visited midweek between those weekends. 21 of our eventual 25 signees came from those June visits (84%). 21 commits out of 42 June OVs is a close rate of 50%. The four additional signees OV'ed in October (Williams [after committing in August] and Justus Terry) and November (Littleton and Hicks [after committing in September]). 14 of the 21 (67%) had committed to Texas by August 1. This includes 9 guys that committed before OVs started. This also includes Josiah Sharma, who committed to Oregon following OVs, but flipped to Texas in late July. This does NOT include Kade Phillips, who committed to Texas in July, flipped to LSU in August, then flipped back to Texas in December. 3 players committed elsewhere following OVs but eventually flipped to Texas (McCutcheon/FSU, Charles/FSU, and Sharma/Oregon) 3 players initially committed to Texas following June OVs but eventually flipped elsewhere (Mills/Washington, Brandon Brown/LSU, and Phllips). For 2026, we had 41 non-specialists OV during three June weekends. 18 of our 19 current commitments as I type this visited during June OVs. Derrek Cooper has not OV'ed yet. 18 out of 41 is a close rate of 44%. 3 June visitors remain uncommitted as I type: Davon Benjamin, Jake Kreul, and Keawe Brown. It does not seem like Brown is a take for Texas at this time. Obviously, all 18 of those have committed before August 1. 6 players were committed before OVs started (Dia Bell has been committed for a fucking year already) In past years, we had a couple early commits that never made June OV with everyone else. I'm assuming those guys were cut loose. Interestingly, all of our pre-June commits made OVs this year. Already 1 player that committed elsewhere following OVs has flipped to Texas (James Johnson, Georgia) As you can see, despite a rough start to July, we are tracking very closely so far with the 2024 and 2025 cycles. Personally I was mildly surprised to find that, because the string of recent losses made things seem worse than they are. Based on the two previous years' of data, I think we can make some inferences about how the rest of the cycle will play out: We will stay competitive with Benjamin and Kreul We will probably lose 1-2 guys from the current class that aren't a big deal (i.e., cut them loose) We may lose 1-2 guys that we don't want to lose We will probably flip 1-2 players that OV'ed in June but are currently committed elsewhere (Malakai Lee, please) We will bring in a handful of guys for OVs in the fall and have a good hit rate with them.- Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us

I'm legitimately curious how many players you have left from the draft. It can't be many. Whatever you're doing seems to be working for you though. You've only widened your lead on the rest of us since the ASB.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

I feel like someone said Bobby/Gerry mentioned one more DT. Which seems like a luxury to me but OK. Personally, I'd like to see 2 more OL (one of whom is a pure OT), and try to flip an elite WR in addition to your list. Not sure what the plan or needs are at DB (if any). - Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
