  1. Top seed gets to choose. Sark said on Longhorn Weekly the captains voted for white because they think of iconic Texas moments and so many of them came in white. They want to join them.
  2. Maybe that person should have also been tasked with sitting down to talk to the key position coach that is apparently the single most important person in Plan 2024
  3. I disagree a bit about losing him. I think we'll need one of Blue or Wisner to be ready for a significant role next year. We're going to be losing our best motion men in Worthy, JWhitt, and KRob. That's a pretty key spot in Sark's offense. Niblett or a portal WR could factor in there, but we need someone that can threaten big plays in space catching the ball on sweeps, swing passes, orbit motion, etc. Plus the usual caveats about Gibson and Clark both being true freshmen and a lack of speed if we were to lose both Blue and Gibson.
  4. This feels like as appropriate a time as any to say that Blue's team photo is my favorite Do you really think you can convince me this is the fastest RB in CFB and not a 360lb nose tackle?
  5. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but the crazy thing about their 2024 title hopes is that their 2021 class has been absolutely decimated. This is all that remains: Shemar Turner Bryce Foster Reuben Fatheree Jardin Gilbert Deuce Harmon Trey Zuhn Amari Daniels Albert Regis Tyreek Chappell Dametrious Crownover Fernando Garza If Turner and Chappell go pro, that leaves them with like 2(?) positive contributors from the class? When's the last time a team won a national or SEC championship with such a poor group of seniors? Not to mention installing new systems on both sides of the ball and having to fix the culture rot.
  6. Bradley was good last year but his play this year may have been best encapsulated by getting beat by Malik Muhammad and Terrence Brooks for 50/50 balls
  7. Uh what, Pate has said positive things about us all year. That video is like the opposite of tears. It's a victory lap that he predicted us 11-1 facing OSU in the CCG. Anybody that has taken offense at anything Gundy has said this weak is soft. I'll excuse the players because you do what you can for motivation.
  8. Reminder that Sark put together one of the best offenses ever and won a national championship with Miller Forristall and Jahleel Billingsley as his TEs. They combined for 41 catches, 540 yards, and 4 TDs. Alabama averaged 48.5 points. Granted, that offense was loaded at every other position. But just wanted to provide some more context.
  9. So I just went back and watched all of Juan Davis's snaps against Tech. He at least knows what he's doing. He didn't blow any assignments, so that's good. But he blocks by just throwing his shoulder into guys. It's kind of weird. It makes sense if you're just sealing the backside against a larger defender, but not as an every down thing. He did have one good lead block to spring a Red run, but even then it looks like he led with his shoulder then engaged the defender. This was the only play I saw where he was just really slow and out of position. Anyways, as others have said, the complete TE is difficult to fine. Unicorns that have Sanders's receiving ability or Beck's kick return ability are hard to come by. I'm perfectly happy with Helm as TE1 the next two years. Davis will need to develop to be TE2 but I don't think we should be writing him off given that development seems to be a thing around here now. People had forgotten about Helm 6 months ago and said TE was a major portal need before the season.
  10. I get this, but also if Quinn comes back next year we'll be competing for the SEC + CFP. Winning always makes the reload easier. Plus most reloads don't happen all at once. Let's see how we reload the front 7 and WR while having Quinn to buoy us Hover over their profile photo and it pops up. Anybody that has fewer than three pages on their mute list needs to get those numbers up.
  11. They also changed it so that grad transfers are exempt from the portal windows https://www.ncaa.org/news/2022/9/21/media-center-di-council-modifies-transfer-rules-for-postgraduate-students.aspx
  12. My understanding is that pancake factory was a one year thing and funded by a single person or small group.
  13. Heh, this might be a jab that I'm katfid'ing, but they grew up Texas fans and they both have played. Plus Robertson is part of the Westlake contingent.
  14. For the December window: Goosby, Chatman, and Cojoe are true freshmen that will be in the two deep as RS FR with at least one but possibly both tackles departing in time for their third seasons. They also weren't five star types that schools will be aggressively poaching, so I'm not sure I see any of them leaving. Hutson and Robertson strike me as the type that like the university and will get their degrees before a hypothetical transfer (like Hudson Card). On top of the fact that both have legitimate paths to playing time. Agbo is a guy that was close to portaling out last year and I've already heard he might this year despite his role as the jumbo TE. PK and Neto are probably the other flight risks by my estimation because who really knows what's going on with them. That could all change in the spring window depending on how the depth chart goes, but I'm not too worried about the OL in December. I guess Majors would be another thing that could change the calculus for Hutson and Robertson.
  15. PK and the boys didn't let their offense advance the ball past midfield until the very last play of the game. The only snaps they took in our territory came after a long kick return.
  16. Quinn made a nice little jump before the bowl game last year. I think a lot of that was just the time to stop his head spinning. Hope we see the same this year, especially with time for his shoulder to heal up. On the Tech performance - Quinn was absolutely shredding them in the RPO game early. We moved off of it and it wasn't a great game for Quinn overall but he was in a nice rhythm early.
  17. FWIW I hope we continue to play big OOC games. Fuck the playoffs, it makes for more entertainment and helps recruiting. If we're left out I hope we don't play this like UGA in '18. We're 11-1. I refuse to be upset about anything college football related.
  18. Ride share is the only other option (AFAIK as an Arlington resident)
  19. I don't know the best place to put this so here you are You know how a couple weeks ago Sark was talking about culture and seeing guys Worthy and Mitchell celebrate with Auburn after kicks? Check out the bottom of the screen when Bert makes his 54 yard career long.
  20. How are you feeling about Jett Bush after the season
  21. Furthermore, look at selection history. Unless I'm missing something, and this is my first time looking at this chart so I might be, no 0/1-loss conference champ has ever been passed up for a non-champ (excluding Notre Dame of course). The years OSU/Bama/UGA/TCU made it as non-champs had at least two 2-loss conference champs
  22. These are the Big 12 title odds. That's not exactly the same as us winning out, but it converts to a 67.7% implied probability. Using the numbers from above, we're +130 to make the CFP. 43.5% implied probability. So, Vegas gives us about a 2/3 chance to make it if we win the conference. That would be a higher shot if we were to win the conference undefeated. Note that FSU's implied probability to make the CFP is 41.7% based on +140. That's a pretty clear tradeoff to me. It's us or them with there also being some chaos scenarios where we both make it.
  23. I think he has a point though. Fisch has done a really good job at Arizona. Everything else and his career overall is meh. And honestly, we hired fucking Steve Sarkisian and that seems to be working out so who really knows lol
  24. I don’t think it takes these posters a whole lot of time. Pretty sure they have templates that they can copy/paste and just change out opponent team names because I think I’ve read the same shit on everyone one of these threads
  25. Hey y'all I have a personal favor to ask everyone on this board. Please mute shadow op. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for me. Personally I'd still give offensive MVP to Worthy. He's so good. And I realize this is the Quinn thread, so sorry for the diatribe. All defenses schemed to shut him down in the first half of the year. And now his stats are showing up because it didn't work. X won't be a beloved legend because of his... well, let's just call them some unfortunate moments. And those are mistakes that are fair to criticize. But the dude warps entire game plans and game flows like not many other Longhorns have.
