Texas must anticipate this to be Florida-like even if it is not and look at the Ole Miss game for guidance on how not to start slow and allow them to stay in the game. Our last non-rivalry regular season night game was Iowa State in 2023. We won by 10 and this feels comparable. Expect fuckery and for Kentucky to punch above their weight. Any word on Calzada’s status?

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Sock Monkey replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I beg to differ. We never punted after our second possession yesterday. Finishing drives in the endzone will come, but I think we finally found a template. -
Arch produced basically all of our offensive output yesterday. Everything else around him was absolute shit. He was forced into hero ball and it almost paid off. There’s no doubt that his preference is to throw deep, but that’s also what was needed of him as the 2nd half progressed. I don’t think Sark called for much short-intermediate passing. He still needs to work on getting to the check down faster, but I’ll need to see replays that show that was even there before making any declarations of fact. As for his accuracy, I really don’t recall many if any bad misses yesterday when he wasn’t stepping into or following through into a large human body. He can work on finding space in the pocket to avoid that, but I’m not sure how available real estate was yeaterday. Decision making and running an effective offense with audibles may still be where he ultimately falls short, but let’s give it time. Penalties put us in bad situations far too often yesterday to run a normal offense. Much of this discourse reminds me of when Sam Ehlinger was a meathead cave man who would never get better. Maybe Arch won’t pan out besides every possible advantage that could be given to a QB, but I’m not convinced that will be the case.

lol Sure, pass me a glass and make it a double. I guess I underestimated how seriously we take Off-season Championships around here.

I’m fine. Couldn’t be more excited for the season. I just want to earn the ranking and don’t like preseason polls in general.

I should be thrilled to be #1, but it feels empty not having played a game yet. It also feels like a “build them up just to beat them down” type of situation. Our week one game vs tOSU is a win-win for the media, but I suspect they’d love to write about the reigning champs maintaining dominance at home versus the top contender for their crown.

Just randomly saw that Reid got the ol’ surprise fall camp scholarship at his new school, the University of South Dakota, today. Good for him. He should do well there. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Sock Monkey replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Based on Gerry’s write up, there’s 20 recruits committing over the next few weeks, and I’d set the O/U for Texas at 7.5. That’s objectively pretty good, but I’m sure some will feel like the sky is falling with so many “losses” over a short period of time. Hold on to your hats. -

I’m no math genius, but I’m pretty sure everyone loses about half of their 50/50 recruiting battles unless they’re not trying hard enough. -

We have the privilege of being able to stay patient in recruiting and that aligns with Sark’s strategy. Nobody should be worried in the least bit. -

Krush Johnson is a helluva name for a defensive lineman. Hats off to his parents. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Sock Monkey replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
A lot of people taking the opportunity to kick Ewers while he’s down and exaggerate their grievances. He’s far from the elite talent we were told he was coming out of high school and I think some will forever be bitter about that. Nevertheless, if he chooses to work hard, make some difficult adjustments to his inner-circle, and adapt, he’ll make a career out of quarterbacking in the NFL about on par with Drew Lock. He’ll likely never be a franchise guy, but few are. That’s okay. I’m just thankful he was a Longhorn. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

It isn’t necessarily an indicator of success or lack thereof, but Stewart has comically short strides. Like Pacheco with less knee drive. Watching his highlights gives me a good chuckle.
