  1. Is the Eddie Murphy/Pete Davidson movie worth watching? The Pick-Up.
  2. Hey he only had three fewer turnovers than completions. Not too shabby.
  3. Meanwhile, when he actually has to interact in person:
  4. Qualities that he seemingly no longer possesses.
  5. Imagine being sold this a couple of years ago.
  6. That doesn't mean Quinn has to be one of them.
  7. Throw a rock. (blitz gets home against Manning and he sails a pass intended for Moore) Texas internet fan: "Huh. I thought Manning would be good but I guess not. Maybe we can start Caldwell??" (Manning later hits Wingo for a TD, despite tight coverage from Manny) "That's interesting. Is it too late to hit the portal for a DB who can replace Muhammad in the starting lineup??" (Shipley, after making eight consecutive 40-50 yard FGs, narrowly misses one from about 57 yards) "I think we should pay whatever it takes to get Bert Auburn back here and battle Stone for the kicking job."
  8. It’s still kind of shocking every summer how fucking terrible the average Texas fan is with zero sum practices and scrimmages.
  9. How funny would it be if he came out and said "Oops! I've just been informed that the American people and businesses actually pay the tariffs. Not China and Canada and Mexico. Y'all must have thought I was crazy or something...."
  10. I actually thought the third one was the funniest.
  11. The world economy is in the hands of a moron who loves tariffs but has no idea how they work. And he's surrounded by people who won't try to educate him. Actually, every now and then he says something like "Wal-Mart should eat the tariffs". Like he does understand. It's a very strange situation.
  12. If Niblett isn't returning punts/kicks, then
  13. I like how he slipped in there, "President Trump has demanded full transparency on this". Man, that's a doozy even in upside down world.
  14. IT stuff from this morning. Some of this is repetitive or what we've already heard. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown that puts all the pieces we’ve heard together. Game Situations Saturday’s scrimmage featured a mix of move-the-field drills (between the 20’s), red zone lockout periods, and two-minute drill to close the day. As expected, the defense emerged as the clear winner in each period. During move-the-field situations, the first-team offense faced the second-team defense, while red zone and two-minute drill matched the first-team units head-to-head. In all three cases, the defense maintained the upper hand, largely due to the defensive line. It wasn’t pure domination, but it was clear. Quarterback Quarterbacks were able to find open receivers at times, but inconsistency hurt the offense. Overthrows and an occasional tendency to feel pressure too early and leave the pocket stalled drives. QB’s leaving the pocket early is another positive sign of the defensive line creating consistent pressure. Arch Manning did make a number of the throws he needed to hit downfield and avoided turnovers, finishing without an interception. Matt Caldwell looked like a veteran on one sustained drive. The QB’s were largely up and down. Running Back The running backs avoided negative plays, staying ahead of the sticks, but couldn’t break off any long runs. CJ Baxter stood out, showing patience, vision, and the ability to fall forward for extra yards. His timing on stretch plays was particularly effective. Correction: He was in his knee brace. Our source must have seen him right after his day was done without the knee brace. It was an okay day for the backs relative to the competition they were facing. Wide Receiver Ryan Wingo and Parker Livingstone looked really good, but the best performance relative to expectations probably goes to freshmen Daylan McCutcheon. McCutcheon had a touchdown on an out route thrown by freshman quarterback KJ Lacey. IT has Livingstone penciled in as a starter. Dark pencil. Almost ripping through the paper. He’s had a good camp. Emmett Mosley did not participate in the scrimmage. Tight End Transfer Jack Endries stood out in scramble drills, working well with his quarterback to find openings. Spencer Shannon has shown noticeable year-over-year improvement and is on track to start in 12 personnel. He caught a pass on an out route and looks like a reliable target in two-minute situations. Shannon is a starter in 12 personnel. He’s had the offseason he needed after having a good offseason last year. Freshman Emaree Winston suffered a shoulder injury; the extent is still unknown. Offensive Line The offensive line had mixed results, performing well in move-the-field but struggling against the defensive front in the red zone. They ran stretch plays from a variety of looks, with Baxter showing good patience on those runs. While they are working in more gap schemes than in previous years, they liked OZ on Saturday. Nick Brooks is expected to miss some time but how much is still yet unknown. Defensive Line The defensive line was the most dominant group of the day. Hero Kanu looked strong, and Travis Shaw was immovable in the middle. He also brought the energy. Cole Brevard had a productive day, and though both Shaw and Brevard got banged up, they returned to action. Colin Simmons was a constant presence in the backfield and would have recorded multiple sacks if the plays had been whistled dead. Lance Jackson took first-team snaps in certain packages, while Ethan Burke rotated in at defensive end. Trey Moore lined up at Sam linebacker in base formations. Pete Kwiatkowski ran base a lot. It is the first scrimmage, after all. “The D-line made things easier for the rest of the defense.” Linebackers It was a relatively quiet day for the linebackers, though freshman Ty’Anthony Smith had an interception off a tipped pass. Smith worked a lot with the first-team defense alongside Anthony Hill. Liona Lefau might have a competition on his hands. Elijah Barnes had a strong open-field tackle on a red zone screen pass. Moore’s time was largely spent at Sam in base sets. Secondary The tip on Smith’s interception came from cornerback Warren Roberson, who “has been balling” according to sources. Derek Williams had a strong red zone tackle on Christian Clark. Manny Muhammad continued his standout fall with multiple pass breakups. Jelani McDonald received the bulk of the reps at Star, while Graceson Littleton saw limited action. As you know, Michael Taaffe got some looks at Star. Special Teams Kicker Mason Shipley missed one attempt but connected on a 35-yard field goal during the two-minute drill. Punter Jack Bouwmeester had another strong showing, though punting was not incorporated into the scrimmage. Schedule This Week The Longhorns’ schedule for the coming week: Monday – 3:00 p.m. practice Tuesday – Full pads at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday – Off Thursday – Half pads at 3:00 p.m. Friday – Helmets in the morning Saturday – Another scrimmage
  15. That's our two-deep at DT. I would hope they have.
  16. I would like to hear more about that promise to house all of the homeless.
  17. Yep, definitely sounds like he won't be available until December.
  18. Not sure if mentioned in here yet but after Brooks went out, Jackson Christian moved to RT.
  19. I think he missed one from 50+ and made the rest.
  20. Pam Anderson was actually great in this. Anyone else notice
  21. It's like the finalists of the worldwide Punchable Faces competition. Seriously, it may be those two.
  22. I attended a baptist wedding not too long ago, and I swear about half of it was how women should submit to their husbands. It was disgusting.
  23. Why my heavens! I have never seen such boorish behavior in all of my life! If I were wearing pearls I'd be clutching those motherfuckers hard right now!
  24. Here's an odd sentence. We added a walk-on RB, formerly a LB at Stanford. Though the Texas Longhorns are at 85 scholarships with the elevation of Marshall Landwehr, they did make an addition at a key spot. Stanford running back Carson Berger is listed on the Texas Longhorns’ 2025 online roster. Berger, a member of the class of 2023 out of The Woodlands (Texas) John Cooper, was part of the Cardinal’s 2023 squad. He was listed as a 6-foot-0, 216-pound linebacker by Stanford in 2023. He was not on their 2024 roster. Texas lists Berger as a sophomore. His height and weight is 5-foot-11, 193 pounds. His bio only states “a first-year, walk-on running back who played the 2023 season at Stanford.“ He joins a room that features scholarship backs like CJ Baxter, Quintrevion Wisner, Christian Clark, Jerrick Gibson, Rickey Stewart Jr., and James Simon. Senior Colin Page is the only member of the walk-on corps in Chad Scott’s position group and is in his final year of eligibility. Berger was a two-time SPC state champion in the 3A division that features schools like Houston Christian, Trinity Valley, Fort Worth Country Day, Oakridge, Greenhill, Cistercian, and St. Andrews. He was also the SPC linebacker of the year in 2022. Berger was selected to the Houston Chronicle’s 2022 All-Greater Houston private school team. Walk-ons currently on the Texas roster include Carson Marshall, McCoy Bruce, Graham Gillespie, Ziky Umeozulu, Jackson Duffey, Isaiah Coleman, Tate Haver, Spencer Barnett, Brady Sarkisian, Eric Garza, Rick McBroom, Robert Sweeney, Brooks Kieschnick Jr., Gehrig Heil, Joe Tatum, Luke Dunham, Ridge Barker, Rett Andersen, Quinn Merritt, Remy Patson, Hamilton McMartin, Bryce Chambers, Hudson Powell, and Ty Boatright. Texas continues its preseason training camp with a light practice on Friday. The Longhorns will have their first scrimmage of camp on Saturday. Stay tuned to Inside Texas for the latest details.
