  1. The o-line isn’t getting embarrassed in practice right? It wont get any more difficult than what they’re already seeing.
  2. Is it weird if at “this weekend” I got a semi-chub and growled like a Klingon?
  3. Not even pushing Hayden Conner last year was a really bad sign.
  4. I don't get it. Why even be on a message board if just basic conversation on the OL turns you ragey. Not to get too conspiratorial, but I've sort of been waiting to read "They actually prefer Hutson at guard and Robertson at center over Neto at guard and Hutson at center." Maybe with Goosby out Neto goes to LT, and with him we get Goosby-Hutson-Robertson-Campbell-Baker. Or maybe they're just tinkering with different options.
  5. That went about as well as I would have guessed. They don’t do critical thinking or even really any kinds of discussion over there. They just thank the mods and say “hook em!!!!!!!!!” and move onto the next thread.
  6. All of the backup tackles. Hopefully it won’t matter.
  7. Is this ultimately an indictment on Chatman and Brooks? Neto at LT is bizarre.
  8. They didn't even try to come up with a fake explanation as to why they're suddenly not releasing shit. It's basically just "Well we were gonna release everything, but Trump's in here so much we can't even release redacted versions. So we're just not going to do it and hope it goes away. Oh and btw we also removed the sex offender tag from Maxwell so we could move her to a country club for no reason." Trump's base, who previously only cared about child sex trafficking: "Yay!"
  9. I haven’t been this 100%, iron clad confident since August of 2010.
  10. I think they were partners. In the sense that Darth Vader and Lando were partners. Trump is experiencing the "altering the deal" moments.
  11. At this point, why would he even care? It's not like he can run again in----- oh shit. Also, his base is about to let the Epstein stuff blow over. Where they are not releasing the files because Trump is all over them. We're past shooting someone on 5th Ave.
  12. Does Vance really wear eyeliner? Or is he like the mayor in The Dark Knight who just looks like he does.
  13. We rolled out the red carpet for the invading dictator and war criminal, and screamed at and berated the democratically elected ally whose country was invaded. Perfect upside-down world behavior.
  14. It's so crazy how there has been no explanation given as to why the most notorious living child rapist and sex trafficker was transferred to a country club with an open front door. Just really, really strange. Can't imagine why.
  15. If you’re a Dotard supporter in the year 2025, shouldn’t words like “disrespectful” be removed from your vocabulary?
  16. I'm doing a rewatch of the 2024 season, as I am wont to do prior to the season starting. I have hot takes. - The RB injuries in August cost us a national championship. We still had talent there, but the tread was off Wisner's tires by January, and Blue would look like Reggie Bush one game and then take the next month off. - If Neto isn't an improvement over Hayden Conner then we really should have gone to the portal there if he's our best option. - We will be very much improved at the QB position. - WR might be improved overall from what we had out there at the end of the year. Hilariously, it might depend on Jaggerson if Mosley is out for awhile.
  17. Dumb question about potential "land swaps" being discussed.... As in, Ukraine gets parts of Russia? Like where, Siberia?
  18. Granted I’m pretty jaded, but it can pretty much only be that. Something that truly horrific might drop his poll numbers to 35%. Might make midterms close, as well as his third term attempt.
  19. It should have sunk him, but what were we gonna do, NOT confirm a Fox News weekend host as Secretary of Defense? That's crazy talk.
  20. Yep. OTF is talking like Taaffe has wrapped that up going to OSU, and IT said a couple of days ago that Taaffe isn't getting reps at star.
  21. I think I may have said that. Is it possible that our staff is fucking with the 9.95'ers on the backup QB situation? They are all saying wildly different things.
  22. Texas, Ohio St, Georgia, and Alabama all miss a 12 team playoff huh.
  23. Burton: We had some major questions going into the scrimmage yesterday. Some of them were answered: Back-up QB The role feels more and more like transfer Matthew Caldwell’s to lose. We’re told Caldwell looked more than serviceable again yesterday and even started with the second unit. Granted, Steve Sarkisian singled out KJ Lacey, too. The freshman engineered a two-minute drive for a score while working with the 1s. But the plan has always been to redshirt Lacey while letting Caldwell and Trey Owens fight over the back-up role. Tight end rotation Texas worked a lot in 12 personnel yesterday and the first two in the rotation were Jack Endries and Spencer Shannon. Jordan Washington has had a good training camp but Shannon has held Washington off to this point because of his skill and precision as an inline blocker. Secondary Texas seems pleased with the decision to try Michael Taaffe at nickel. That means Taaffe is likely the day-one nickel vs Ohio State, before a heavy situational rotation begins within the game. Likewise, the corner spot opposite Manny Muhammad seems headed to a stand-off of sorts. Both Jaylan Guilbeau and Kobe Black are likely to see starter reps. ** Other positional notes: Interior D-line rotation With Maraad Watson sidelined, the Texas DL rotation was reshaped some yesterday. Alex January played alongside Travis Shaw while Hero Kanu and Cole Brevard were paired together. Wide receiver rotation With Emmett Mosley V sidelined by injury, receivers other than Ryan Wingo, DeAndre Moore and Parker Livingstone must step up. Daylon McCutcheon has been circled as someone capable of doing that all the way back in spring. But more recently Sark has started to sing the praises of Kaliq Lockett, too. Lockett had a double-move on 4th down yesterday that drew high praise from the coaching staff. Aaron Butler did not receive as many opportunities yesterday as he did in the previous scrimmage. Running back Sark said it himself. He had planned all along to slow-play CJ Baxter’s return, to let him get acclimated to college ball and then push him along after Ohio State. But that thinking changed following last Saturday’s scrimmage and was further evidence enhanced by yesterday’s action. With Tre Wisner held out for part of practice, Baxter split some time with the 1st unit along with Christian Clark. Other backs eventually rotated in with that group as well. If Wisner and Baxter are 1a and 1b as Sark described them, then Clark is the clear no. 3. Offensive line What we learned on Saturday is that Texas is working Nick Brooks almost exclusively at right tackle currently. He made the move following Andre Cojoe’s season-ending injury. Brooks spent most of spring at left tackle. So perhaps this is Kyle Flood’s version of cross-training. Give the freshman heavy doses of both positions. Jaydon Chatman stepped in at left tackle for Trevor Goosby who was held out because of a hand injury. Chatman drew praise from Sark for his play. ** A couple more things: - I’m told that Arch Manning’s performance yesterday was much more “consistent”than a week ago. - Do not be surprised if freshmen Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips are heavy rotational players in the secondary when SEC play begins. They’re “too talented not to”, according to a source.
