  1. #84 with the obvious hold for alabama
  2. We didn't get Catalon the All-American, yet. Hopefully he gets his feet under him soon...
  3. Issues catching, inability to adjust to the ball...bet Worth needs contacts
  4. Handled my son's provisional in Seguin, 6 days after a power outage in Pflugerville cancelled our original appointment. Easy experience for us. Nice staff.

  10. Traditional energy seeks to drive up the price of energy for more profit, and Abbott/Ercot have no desire to curb greed when demand/need is highest. Zero accountability for Abbott/Ercot and energy companies means they can do whatever they want.
  11. Wonder how much he is not going to pay these lawyers to handle all these cases.
  12. Steve Bannon plan for America....sit his fat ass in the AC while poor rednecks fight his Boogaloo civil war Just as it was the first time
  13. This traitor needs to be in prison.
  14. lol at LSU ever limiting themselves to "straight up recruiting"
  15. fify I'll take users accidentally describing their actual personality for 1000, Alex.
  16. Wish these guys had been given the opportunity to redshirt...
  17. https://247sports.com/article/texas-football-2023-center-jake-majors-scouting-report--213404765/#:~:text=Texas center Jake Majors has quietly put together,nationally as a unit%2C but as a team. Brockermeyer seems to be a fan. Rimington watch list. Seems to have added 8 to 10 pounds. If we can put better than way below average guards next to him, unlike last year, he might surprise.
  18. $$ ESPN https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/38115407/connelly-college-football-ifs-list-contenders-georgia-alabama-ohio-state-michigan-lsu This is my annual "Ifs List" piece -- an attempt to see how many "ifs" it takes me to turn a team into a genuine national title contender. The favorites don't require many; a few others might have more than you think. Texas Longhorns (+2,000) If ... Quinn Ewers (or some other Texas QB) shows up on key plays. On first downs, Quinn Ewers ranked 19th in raw QBR in 2022. On third downs: 104th. In first quarters, Ewers ranked 46th. In fourth quarters: 97th. Ewers had promising moments, but he was dreadful on the most important downs and in the most important quarter. You could say the same thing about the Horns. They outscored opponents by 179 points in the first three quarters, got outscored by 12 in the fourth quarter and overtime and went 2-5 in one-score finishes. They dominated at times and aced the predictive ratings -- seventh in both FPI and SP+ -- but still went just 8-5. Was this a sample-size oddity? Can Ewers come through in key moments before he loses his job to either blue-chip freshman Arch Manning or spring star Maalik Murphy? If ... Sark does, too. While close-game records are typically unsustainable and can oscillate constantly, it does bear mentioning that Steve Sarkisian has lost 11 of his last 15 one-score games as a head coach. This goes higher up than Ewers on the org chart. If ... young running backs aren't a hindrance. Ewers' veteran receiving corps should be stellar, but the Horns will lack both Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson at running back. Can some combination of sophomores Jonathon Brooks and Jaydon Blue and blue-chip freshman Cedric Baxter Jr. provide a sufficient security blanket? If ... opponents move backward more. Texas leaped from 86th to 22nd in defensive SP+ last season, driven by excellent run pursuit and big-play prevention. But the Horns still ran into trouble on third and fourth downs because, while they were preventing efficiency, they weren't pushing opponents backward: They ranked 106th in sack rate and 102nd in stuff rate. Forcing second-and-8 is good; forcing second-and-12 is better.
  19. The thing about Texas NIL is the corporate dollar that follows good performance on the field will likely dwarf any larger upfront payment provided by the LSUs and Alabamas of the world. The smartest recruits will realize this fact and bet on themselves for greater wealth in their Sophomore and Junior years.
