  1. Has the staff even considered that both Bryce Young and Will Anderson both have another year of eligibility. Make them say no! I’m just not seeing any sense of urgency from these guys.
  2. Honestly thought he had officially left the program months ago. Did he ever rejoin the team after the suspension?
  3. Oh shit, Jimbo just pulled a sitting Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll Linebacker
  4. Wait, has BO&W really been on Longhorn message boards for a decade? I always picture him as a 20 year old incel posting from his childhood bedroom while watching Twitch streams.
  5. So we return our entire starting 5 and like 7/8 of our best OL. With the hope that 1, or possibly 2, of the backups unseat a starter for a spot upgrade. That seems good.
  6. Really talented, was a big time recruit out of HS (where he was recruited by Sark so there is a relationship there). Lots of upside but needs to get his head on straight. Worth the risk to pick him up imo.
  7. Haha, great stuff. Love the brave aggies that are trying to spin it. Especially love the ones talking about how he used to dominate Sumlin’s A&M teams, despite the fact that Sumlin never coached against Petrino while he was at Arky.
  8. Yeah…that’s not at all what the reporter asked. He asked him if he anticipated making any staff changes. Completely reasonable question, and if Gundy didn’t want to answer candidly all he had to do was give the same non answer we’ve heard a million coaches give: ”Well, none of those decisions have been made yet. We’re going to do what we always do after the season, sit down and evaluate every part of this program from the top down and we’ll go from there” Instead of saying that he decided to have a little tantrum. Mainly because he’s a thin skinned asshole who was in his feelings after seeing his team completely crumble over the second half of the season.
  9. This answer is dadcore as hell, but there have been several episodes of Bluey that made me turn away from my daughter to get my shit together. The ending of “flat pack” specifically always really sneaks up me
  10. Not really lulz or bitching exactly, but today was a son of a bitch. Got in to Tyler with the family and went straight to the hospital where my 90 year old grandfather has been for the last week with pneumonia. He’s hanging on, the prognosis isn’t terrible exactly, but he was really down and feeling like it was the end for him. And having that conversation with him like it was our last has just completely fucked me up for the entire day and holiday. I have a 5 year old and an almost 2 year old that he adores and they were so fucking sweet with him in the hospital room. We left and went to their grandparents (my dad’s) house and they have just been floating on air with Christmas excitement but I can’t fucking shake how sad I am. 90 years is a good run, but I love that man and I’m not ready. I’ve been blessed to have him be a huge part of my life, for so long. I have his name, and I’m fucking proud of that. My kids are so blissfully unaware of this part of life and are in prime Christmas years and I want to be present and soaking it in with them but I’ve just been outside of myself all day. I can’t sleep and I’ve had a little too much bourbon and I’m posting on a message board like it’s therapy but this just really sucks.
  11. I hear you, but what we need is a sure thing portal WR. We don’t need a guy like Milton who’s only available because he’s coming off a major injury, and I don’t think a pure potential guy like Jojo Earle makes sense for this roster either at this point. So I guess I’m just ready to find out who this mystery portal receiver is that we are super confident in. Going all out to get Whitt to return and jumping through hoops for Moore has me wondering. Or maybe I’m just impatient.
  12. This is sort of where I’m at short of a true stud like Addison from last year becoming available (or Stewart I guess, but that doesn’t seem like it’s happening. Your list above plus the possibility of one of Thompson/Red emerging feels like a pretty damn healthy wr room.
  13. Honestly I’m not really sure what a portal player has to do with Hall. He made 1 catch this year and we were desperate for literally anyone to step up at WR outside of Worthy and Whitt. The writing was on the wall that he wasn’t going to contribute here, doesn’t matter if we’re bringing in Evan Stewart in the portal or convincing Kai Money to come back and give us one more season.
  14. His contract is guaranteed for 85 million more dollars. Why waste time on a strategy
  15. I was told he was a “tackling machine” though
  16. Fun fact: as things currently stand, when you consider the last two 247 scores for their respective classes, UT is now significantly higher than the Ags: Texas 2022 - 289.04 2023 - 294.53 Average - 291.79 A&M 2022 - 333.13 2023 - 236.05 Average - 284.59 That’s without even taking into account the fact that they have already lost two five stars and several four stars to the portal from 2022. It’s incredible to see how little they are going to take advantage of the best class of all time.
  17. I think this has been discussed, but I love what we did from a roster management standpoint on OL. Keeping the numbers up and using them on high ceiling guys with longer developmental timelines is perfect after what we did there in the 2022 class. Obviously you take a class full of Banks’ every year if you can, but that’s not always going to be an option. So to see us go about filling the OL class in a thoughtful and logical way is really encouraging.
