  1. I’ll play Top reason for optimism: Moving away from outside zone improves week-to-week consistency. We averaged less than 40 rushing yards in our losses last year. Top reason for pessimism: Interior guys are unproven in pass pro ability. The OL had two bad weeks in pass pro last year and it was mostly an issue of Cam Williams getting stunted on and our calls being figured out (UGA), and miscommunication/assignment issues (Vandy). As fans, we haven’t had to watch real interior pressure since 2022. I’m a bit worried about the Neto-Hutson-Campbell triumvirate there. Some of that is assignment soundness but there’s also reasons to doubt their (Neto especially) ability to hold up 1 on 1.
  2. I’m not trying to make a specific comparison. Just visualizing and sharing some data about recruiting trends over time. I agree that the OV data would be more interesting. It would just require a lot more effort.
  3. Ok so some of the stuff about how we're in unprecedented times of national recruiting has annoyed me, so I pulled the numbers. Random thoughts: We currently have 7 OOS commits with about half the class in, so we're on pace to probably end up around where we were in 2023 Bijan was the only OOS signee in the 2020 class. I thought the contrast between 2020 having the lowest post-Mack OOS number but highest rating looked funny on the charts Herman signed 4 OOS JUCO players in 2019, so that class would have had the highest number if they were included. Man, recruiting for Herman tanked after 2019 I think official visit data would be more illustrative but that would be harder to access Transition classes are tough Sark signed more OOS high school recruits in his first two full classes than Mack did in this timeframe (2002 - 2013). Hell, he signs more each year (minus transition) than Mack did in the classes that won the national championship combined (02-05). So, I do get that the modern recruiting landscape is very different for people that have been following this for decades.
  4. Is that the reason Harris went from being heralded as a great culture fit at Texas to toxic in the course of like two months? That’s my recollection of the recruitment
  5. It’s so exciting to be in (our third straight year of) a new dawn for Texas recruiting where we are finally becoming a national recruiting power. What a unique approach from Sark (for the third time in a row). Very happy that we are now starting to recruit outside our state borders (after doing so the last two years)! /s
  6. Damn, I haven’t looked at state rankings in awhile. This could rival the 2018 haul (I mean that purely in terms of recruiting rankings)
  7. We're paying $40M for football alone so that seems very reasonable to me /s
  8. Posted this in another thread, but for the purposes of obstruction, a defender is allowed to be in the base path if he’s in the act of fielding, not just if he has possession. The catcher was fine. https://unitedumpires.org/pdf/Feb2018-Interpretation.pdf
  9. Just as a clarification, defender can be there if they are in the act of fielding the ball. They don’t actually need possession https://unitedumpires.org/pdf/Feb2018-Interpretation.pdf
  10. Even better - “they physically annihilated us” https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/texas-am-head-coach-mike-elko-hats-off-to-them-because-they-physically-annihilated-us/
  11. I’d buy it for double the price if it said Super Easy Conference instead
  12. Some are saying the Ags had nothing left to play for after losing to Mizzou, but that win yesterday was pretty important. It probably keeps them above .500 for the season. They were in danger of a 27-27 finish if they'd been swept by UGA then lost their first game in Hoover.
  13. I agree with your takes on Riojas. Yesterday seemed like a fundamentals day. Throw strikes and let your defense support you (except it didn’t). I’m not a baseball expert or anything but it seemed like one of the things that really helped Roger extend past one time through the order and be a quality starter (and something he has over Grubbs for those wanting to have that discussion) was all the funky stuff like dropping his arm slot and the eephus pitch. I don’t remember seeing much of that yesterday but I would imagine he brings it back in the postseason
  14. Let’s see if Grubbs can keep up his strikeout per 3 pitches pace
  15. Walker was one strike from his longest appearance of the season lol
