  1. Is there a reason why the football-crazed state of Texas struggles to consistently produce many high quality linebackers. It always seem to ebb and flow with some years being stacked. Is it scheme, player development, and/or 7 on 7 culture?
  2. Mama Broughton selling him on Texas? Would a UT girlfriend tip the scales?
  3. Speaking of Emmitt, is EJ Smith his son? What's the story on that recruitment? Would we start recruiting him harder if Bijan doesn't work out or is there just a lack of mutual interest?
  4. Harsin would already be drawing up a trick play involving Lake guaranteed to pick up 5-7 yards if he were still at Texas. HOOK'EM LAKE!
  5. Because Twitter is all about stirring the pot to manufacture traffic. This in nothing but the aftermath of a quality troll post.
  6. Sweats recruiting profile had him at 250 pounds. If the numbers can be trusted, he has grown by how much my dog weighs in one year.
  7. I'm starting to think that we are in a weird place in the program's progression where we can no longer sell recruits on early playing time and being the class to bring Texas BACK; however we haven't proven we can make the playoffs and produce a ton of early draft picks yet. Add in not being in the SEC (like it or not) and we are kind of stuck in a tough middle ground for recruiting. If this season goes as planned, 2021 might be better. Honestly, if we can land a talented running back and a few more of the top end recruits we are aiming for, I am fine with the bottom half of the class being depth guys. I think we have some pretty solid dudes in the class already.
  8. Twitter watch has officially begun. Wake me up when it's my shift.
  9. IIRC, Sam usually isn't at his best at these types of events. This says a lot about his development as a passers.
  10. Do any of you watch the draft? Everyone is Iced out. One (awesome) piece of jewelry doesn't say much abut Jaxson's financial discipline. Who cares how he purchased it. At the very least, these guys have people offering to loan them money as soon as they are guaranteed to get drafted.
  11. I'm fine with having different definitions. I just want to make it a yearly tradition for our players to tweet at Baker after stomping ou in the cotton bowl. Sam should have plenty of ammo now.
  12. We have plenty of reasons to feel good about the Brockermeyers but cannot afford to take anything for granted until the faxes come through. Nobody gives up on elite tackle prospects.
  13. Not here to argue, but Mayfield irritates just about everyone with his punk-ass, flag planting, I'm the shit and you ain't shtick.
  14. Mayfield is a world class trash talker. I wouldn't put much stock into what he says. Does anyone actually expect him to say good things about Texas or our QB? This is a rivalry by the way and the fact that the national noise around our program (positive or negative) is the loudest it's been since 2010 says more about the trajectory of the program than any individual comment.
  15. Personality, albeit a few early maturity incidents hence the title of this thread, has never been Kris' issue.
  16. Let's not forget Hullaby who could be really underrated for all we know.
  17. I know this is nit picky, but the moment you "get used to" a job like his is when you start to lose it.
  18. The moment you tweet anything negative about high schoolers, you are wrong.
  19. I would get your point, if the kicker was defenseless, but he was a ball carrier running at full speed who saw the hit coming. Plus half of the entertainment is laughing at the stupidity of the play call.
  20. How often are these posted and can we have a thread dedicated to them?
  21. We'll need Gbenda for depth.
  22. As I understand it, your clock starts the moment you begin your first official practice. He will most likely be a freshman with the 2020 class.
  23. Take the loss pussy. The teenager made his decision. Let it go.
  24. That tells me that the athletic department has planned for this moment. Tom's not worried one bit.
