  1. Niblett is fast, but does not seem to be especially quick. Like he doesn't have the feet of a typical 5'10" 185 lb. speed guy. But point him in the right direction and get him going and he can fly.
  2. Here's Scipio Tex's take on the current state of the RB room: "A three-headed rushing attack started off with Christian Clark. He ran at 4.8 yards per clip and did a better job of hitting obvious holes. There’s not much juice there and he goes down at first contact. He looks comfortable as a pass catcher. Jerrick Gibson will hit it up in there, but he’s not breaking tackles like his freshman year. Perhaps ball security concerns are limiting his stiff arm and recklessness. 4.8 yards per carry. James Simon continues to demonstrate the most raw dynamism of the current healthy group. His acceleration on a counter play late was noticeable. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry and it’s a different speed when he’s carrying it. He’s inexperienced and probably not a trustworthy pass protector yet. Texas had nine rushes of 10+ yards, but a lot of them were blocked up for 10+ with the RB adding nominally to the total. This isn’t a very talented room right now. If you watch other college football, the contrast is marked. Collectively, they recorded a middling 2.25 yards after contact against Sam Houston State, and that includes 12 yards after contact from Ryan Wingo’s run. Wisner’s return should help with some floor and pass catching ability."
  3. Love, forgiveness, humility, loving your enemies, treatment of the poor and immigrants..... Basically, just watch the leader of their cult and whatever he says, the exact opposite. Which is weird, because one cult directly contradicts their other cult. And they don't seem to notice.
  4. That game feels like a coin flip to me right now. I need to see our offense actually do it against a team with a pulse.
  5. Used to be Brown Sugar, but Gimme Shelter now.
  6. Hey wait a minute.... I wonder if a similar thing happened with Jesus 2000 years ago. Like he was a complete piece of shit but that wasn't a good story, so it was, um, modified. We've seen it happen in real time over the last 12 days, so imagine how easy that would be to pull off over centuries with no media.
  7. It reminds me how Hunter Biden was the worst person in the world because he would sometimes make money off his last name being Biden.
  8. Just a reminder that you started this lovely exchange by saying that Schloss wouldn’t allow Jonah Williams to be on punt returns.
  9. He’s a member of the football team and will play wherever he is needed. There are no “baseball restrictions” on him for football.
  10. “Welcome home!” - Biden to Trump on Inauguration Day.
  11. Yeah I was thinking Watergate level. “Secret emails uncovered show Obama begging his AG to prosecute his political enemies, while acknowledging that the attempts had already been made. Later, he called putting his political enemies in prison, ‘justice’, for him.”
  12. I’m sure they talk. And if Schloss tried to tell Sark where he can’t play Jonah Williams, after Sark didn’t have Williams available at all in the spring due to letting him play baseball, I’m sure Sark would have a good laugh and hang up the phone.
  13. You think the baseball coach dictates to a football coach where he can and can't play on the football field?
  14. Gerry: OnTexasFootball can report that the Texas staff definitely remains in contact with 4-star+ EDGE and Clemson verbal Dre Quinn (Buford, Ga./High). Quinn was recently on a visit to Tennessee for the Georgia game. The Vols are a serious player. Quinn picked Clemson over Texas June 19, due in part to Texas having a loaded EDGE depth chart. We shall see if that thought process changes, but OTF feels comfortable saying the Texas staff would certainly entertain a flip of the 6-4, 230-pounder wanted to play for the Longhorns.
  15. I'd be surprised if we didn't see that happen. But, I'm pretty fucking surprised to see Stroh playing every meaningful snap right now, so who knows.
  16. Like a funeral at the Legion of Doom, where all the super-villains show up to pay their respects.
  17. Yeah I think Simon is the keeper out of that group.
  18. We have now gotten good looks (against shit competition) at Gibson, Clark, and Simon. I don't want to say they're JAGSs, but they are a little jaggish. I found myself thinking "Man, we're gonna be so much better at RB when we get Wisner back". And I like Wisner, but man he should not be far and away our #1 RB (and to a lesser extent Baxter, in his current condition). Room needs a spring cleaning, and a good portal guy to go with Cooper. Also OTF said Rickey Stewart didn't dress and wasn't with the team last night.
  19. Shhhh. It's better if they think that.
  20. Yes. A generous amount of it.
  21. This would have gotten any other president impeached. We'll have forgotten all about it by tomorrow morning.
  22. I need to watch it again sober, but I thought Robertson at center was not a downgrade from Hutson. So if Hutson > Stroh, then yeah do it.
  23. Yeah, this. But Arch is putting the ball on open WRs which is something he couldn't do last week. Playing the worst defense he'll see the rest of his life is probably exactly what he needed at this point.
  24. He admits at the end that he considers putting innocent people in prison means "justice" for him. The convicted felon and rapist.
  25. I'm not sure I've seen a Texas WR covered yet. Still, he's actually getting the ball to wide open WRs most of the time, which he couldn't do last week.
