  1. Ah, the old "undersized/under-recruited skill player with plenty of speed who goes Tech, TCU, OSU, etc.and then resents UT forever" thing. I can't imagine how this could ever wind up being trouble for us. http://www.hudl.com/v/2ENySv
  2. Shit, who can blame them? I'm not an especially huge fan of our ILB situation either. Anyway, he looks reasonably fast on his Senior HUDL, plays some ILB, and PJ Fleck once called him "an absolute stud." Might be a solid addition if they can get him in. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7926974/5dc8aa7123476b10a0395363
  3. That first TD pass was a sweet throw. Also, #77 is my new favorite player. He's already better than Terrell Cuney just by virtue of being ~2.5 meters wide.
  4. As expected, Ketchum was bringing the next level reporting that made him (in)famous.
  5. That's pretty damn impressive - especially when you consider the fact that he's running for his life behind that OL half the time. I'd be worried about batted balls with his throwing motion but he looks so accurate in those clips and throws on the run so well.
  6. Agreed. Not sure I'd call him "underrated" with all of the hype he came in with. Maybe he didn't quite live up to that hype but isn't that the opposite of underrated? Pretty sure he was a preseason All-American a couple of times. I'm guessing he was on some other award watchlists too. Are they including him just because he didn't make it in the NFL? Because I seem to remember him being talked up a lot while he was still in college? Edit: and, yes, definitely some of the best high school highlights I've seen.
  7. I will admit that I have no idea how to evaluate players or anything but to my very untrained eye, that looks like a really big, fast kid who's some good development and coaching away from being really, really good.
  8. Nothing says "this guy deserves way more respect" like a career completion percentage of 54.6%, a record of, what, 14-20 (?) as a starter, and getting benched in favor of a freshman during your senior year.
  9. Same song, different verse. They spent the entirety of the Mack years hiding under OU's skirt - even during the five year period when Mack went 4-1 against Stoops. The aggy rationalizations in 2008 were some of my favorites. "You got lucky when you beat us (by 40 points) but if you played OU again later in the season, they'd kill you (even though you won by 10 in October)."
  10. The stupidity in these comments is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Terrible grammar, lack/misuse of punctuation, a pretty egregious "there/their/they're" mistake, and the insane belief that Maalik doesn't have a strong arm. It's almost impressive, really.
  11. Happy to hear that. It's nice to know that we're totally covered when we need someone to lose four yards on a slow developing outside run play on 4th and 1. Seriously - I'm glad Young's back. And I'm even happier that Tom Herman won't be calling the plays for him anymore.
  12. This. I generally like Gerry and he's obviously better at what he does than I am. But watching the limited amount of highlights for Blue does not make me think that breaking tackles is especially problematic for him. I'd say it's the opposite, actually. He looks like he's got great balance and enjoys running through people. This is an awesome pickup
  13. This is amazing. "Oh, i-i-it’s broken down alright, Morty. <BELCH> I knew it wasn’t worth my time. I-I don’t owe you shit regarding your mouth- your mouthbreather question, Morty! <BURP>"
  14. That is some truly impressive commitment to fielding a shitty team that hates its coaches. I might have to watch whatever FAU games are televised next season just to see the train wreck. Maybe they can bring in Yancy too?
  15. I realize that Brooks isn't exactly playing against world beating competition but his senior HUDL is something else. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8423068/5fe2d417a023891b5ca5c8a2
  16. Maybe there's something I'm not aware of here but that definitely seems like it wouldn't suck.
  17. "wHaT dOeS mEyeRr’S NfL DeCiSiOn SaY aBoUt UT?" It says that Tim Cowlishaw is, always was, and always will be a fucking moron and a greasy stain on a profession that already employs a record number of complete failures who couldn't hack it virtually any other industry.
  18. Absolutely this. There's absolutely no shortage of 6'2" to 6'4" kids with good speed playing out of position in this state. You just have to identify the traits you want, figure out how to sell a position change, and do a good job developing them. it can definitely be done - it's just that the past few Texas staffs have been a little bit... lacking in some of these areas (development in particular).
  19. That looked like pretty solid coaching to me. Two penalties all game (plus a really egregious PI that should have been called). MSU generally tackled well. Their DBs got beat in coverage a few times but nothing like what we've been forced to get used to. Special teams coverage pinned Montana inside their own 20 several times. And Choate went for it on 4th and 1 while up 41-14 on his biggest rival - and scored on the play. It's only a one game sample size and I'm obviously not an analyst or expert. But I really liked what I saw.
  20. I think there's good reason to be really, really excited about PK and Choate. I don't know if this has been posted or not but here's the 2019 Montana State vs. Montana game. It looks like Choate is also a proponent of PK's 2-4-5 look but he also threw in a bunch of other formations. It looks like the ILBs run to the ball, swarm, and cover well. Based on the first quarter (I'm still watching), to my very untrained eye, they look well coached. I think they're going to make a hell of a team for us on D. Edit: I also didn't see Montana State commit any penalties in the first quarter. That would be a very welcome change
  21. Halle-fucking-lujah. Now let's go get Marve or Lupoi and kick some ass.
  22. Ignoring everything related to Mike Stoops and OU (which would be absurd, but we'll pretend for a moment anyway), this is an absolutely horrible hire. He's despised by almost everyone he's ever coached or coached with, he has more skeletons in his closet that Jeffrey Dahmer, and he's total dog shit as a coach. I would be incredibly pissed even if he wasn't a Stoops.
