  1. They're not that far off. One says expect him to play, the other says don't expect to see much of him. Whatever. The next month will decide that.
  2. Um, please don't tell me that Dotard actually said that we are prepared for a nuclear war.
  3. The most annoying thing this past offseason was watching Texas fans on various boards take turns on who could be the most pessimistic on CJ Baxter's health. My personal favorite was a guy on OTF who, after Baxter was cleared to rejoin team activities in May, said confidently that we shouldn't expect to see Baxter at all until the 2026 season. Upvotes all around, for this brave take. Hell we had guys here last week talking about how Baxter will miss the first month or six weeks of the season. Well that would be pretty strange for a guy getting first team reps on July 30th, now wouldn't it. Anyway, it's great to see him looking good this early.
  4. IT stuff: Some Saturday afternoon quick hitters for you. The team will take to the practice field at 5:30 again today before being off on Sunday. Star This has probably been the position of greatest mystery the last couple of months. Wardell Mack and Graceson Littleton played Star (nickel) a lot during the spring and continue to do so. But, sources and logic lead us to the opinion that a more experienced veteran will get the start against Ohio State. Enter…Michael Taaffe. The senior second-team All-American safety first made waves in the program at the position and he’s been there a pretty decent amount in the first three practices. He has looked good at the spot (one of the first players mentioned), though he has also worked at safety. While at safety he’s with Jelani McDonald. When Taaffe goes to Star, McDonald has been paired with Derek Williams, Xavier Filsaime, and Jordon Johnson-Rubell. On the surface, it seems unlikely Taaffe would play Star outside of certain looks—he’s the main communicator, after all, and he’s unlikely to play the position in the NFL. But, he has the experience, intelligence, and selflessness to do it. We’ll continue monitoring to see how it plays out. Ryan Wingo and DJ Campbell The sophomore wide receiver and senior offensive guard participated in the first practice but missed the second and third. Smart money says they won’t be back until Monday. While the issues aren’t something that should hamper them long term, they could each use a very productive August to springboard into the season. They are two of the most important players to Texas’ success this year. CJ Baxter is turning heads The third-year running back looks pretty damn healthy. I haven’t heard he’s 100% but did hear he impressed in Friday’s thud tempo practice. Just him being out there is a big win. Not only does he appear healthy after his significant knee injury, he’s also carrying his weight as well as can be expected given the layoff. Should we have expectations for him against Ohio State? Based on the first three practices, a trusted IT source believes Baxter will be available and play in Week 1. Two Friday standouts Junior linebacker Liona Lefau was mentioned for his ability in coverage. He’s a smart player who is always where he’s supposed to be. “When they’re in zone he’s like having another DB out there.” Redshirt freshman quarterback Trey Owens had one of his best practices ever. When Sark brought in Matthew Caldwell he challenged the other quarterbacks to beat him out. Owens apparently took that to heart.
  5. So either Campbell or Wingo was hungover at the first practice. Got it.
  6. I have a question. Mr. Dotard, why did you transfer the world's most famous living child sex predator to a minimum security prison today?
  7. ... and he'll fill it with Kid Rock or someone. "See, we added 200 million jobs last quarter. Kid Rock doing a great job! Much better than that previous piece of shit who was just making up numbers."
  8. He wanted to stop testing, during a pandemic. Because more tests = more covid. That's something that actually happened, and then we re-elected him.
  9. Sounds like fair lodging for the world’s most notorious living child sex trafficker.
  10. I meant to put disappear in quotes.
  11. She will probably walk away and disappear, but not before signing an affidavit which says Dotard didn't fuck any kids or anything like that.
  12. Considering that you can't even see what it is, I'm going to venture that it's more likely a possum or raccoon than a visitor from another planet.
  13. Man, that's a trip down memory lane. I haven't seen her in forever.
  14. Just imagine how fucking stupid you would have to be to read all of that and still think he deserves your support. I mean, forget everything else. Just that.
  15. "The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car." hahahaha
  16. Pretty hilarious actually. "Full transparency! We're gonna release everything! Well, right after we black out all the names and other shit we don't want you to see. And you know what, let's just go ahead and not release anything at all. Well except Ghislane Maxwell. oops, spoiler."
  17. Just casually talking about the time the president had an affair with a porn star. Not even one of his bigger scandals. Just amazing.
  18. Rodney Dangerfield accused my dad of playing with his balls during a show.
  19. Anyone else notice that whenever Dotard talks about Epstein or Maxwell, he never uses words like 'child rape' or 'sex trafficking'? Even when given the opportunity to say that he kicked Epstein out because of the whole Satan on Earth and raping kids thing, he only said it was because he "stole his help". Obviously he's said other bizarre stuff like "I wish her well" (Maxwell) but that kind of struck me funny. Like he doesn't even want to admit it happened.
  20. To the point to where Gerry said yesterday that the D-Line is now the strength of the team. Pretty crazy considering that our DT room consisted of January and Hills not that long ago.
  21. I remember being saddened by this. I hated that movie.
