  1. Presley probably should have gone down at like the 1 there to force BYU to burn TOs.
  2. Did Presley go OOB? I wasn’t fully paying attention. Clock wasn’t running prior to that 2nd down play.
  3. Yeah, there are tons of people picking Texas.
  4. Yeah... that one was missed. Has nothing to do with how many events are going on this weekend.
  5. 2002, #4 TCU at home. Problems galore here. Not just Quinn. 2022, at #11 OSU. 19-49 for 329, 2 TDs, 3 INTs. Also a Sark WTF game. Quinn still threw for a lot, though. There were other compounding factors, as well. We're very far removed from that season, though. Team has completely changed.
  6. McElroy picks UGA. One of the only prominent media members I've seen to do it. He mentions near the end he doesn't trust the Texas secondary yet (combo of it being the weakness last year and MSU being the best passing offense Texas has faced). However, his biggest concern is the loss of Texas' best coverage safety - Williams. I do agree it's a concern, and I haven't really heard it mentioned much throughout the national media. Texas can certainly win this game, and they should be favored at home, but we're about to find out how legit these pass rush and pass coverage units are.
  7. Thank you for the response. I really appreciate it. Or a nasty change. This was basically a description of Lucas Gordon. I'd take another SP like that, for sure.
  8. This is what I'm thinking, too. Especially given where Texas currently has blue-chip holes in the current class. Although, apparently Chester has been looking fantastic this season. Simple misdirection maneuver in game theory. Make an opponent over allocate to keep an asset/competitive advantage "safe" while you secretly direct your actual attention elsewhere to steal white space and/or market share to build your own/erode your opponents market share. My company does this shit all the time. I bet this happens in recruiting at Texas. Especially since very few programs can compete with Texas' NIL spending.
  9. I know you're intimately involved in NIL efforts, so I don't want you to take this as me challenging your claim above, but why? Is Trey just a huge Texas fan? Is there some misalignment in his prospect ranking vs. what MLB scouts think? Is it simply the shift in value of high school pitching prospects (i.e., the data shows the development curve isn't worth the investment nowadays in most cases)? Trey wants to supplement his potential (highly variable depending on development outcome) future professional earnings with NIL now? Trey wants to develop under Weiner and be a surefire high pick later on? Some combo of the above?
  10. It's not stupid when you consider the analog to real life. Those are supposed to represent staff totals; not solely you as the head coach. Bigger/more successful programs generate more money, employ more staff towards recruiting, etc. So, totally understandable to have more than 168 recruiting hours in the total allotment.
  11. Where 2025 Texas football commits, targets stand in the updated Top247 rankings -Fasusi up from 27 to 17. -LaMont Rogers up from 104 to 27. -Brooks down to an unranked four star from 143. Many mock drafts indicate that Texas likely has two day one OTs picked in May, 2025. While I know there are good OTs in waiting (Goosby and Baker), Brooks should be a good development guy, and Texas leads for Turntine in 2026, I would really like to land Rogers or Fasusi in this class. Nevertheless, Brooks may end up being a starter faster than not, rankings are oftentimes wrong, and Texas may take a portal OT this offseason anyways. Plus, OU's season could go to shit and Fasusi could flip.
  12. I don't believe we even need to count Mitchell once. It's obvious the dude's time in Austin is over. He's basically already gone. Accordingly, the coaches are already allocating a transfer spot there.
  13. Not gonna lie, this gave me some comedic relief after this weekend.

  15. Lmao at those Bama fans. I’m sure most Vanderbilt grads are thankful they didn’t go to Alabama 1. Stop being shitty losers. 2. My career and financial health has loved being a UT and Vanderbilt grad, thus far. As much as it was difficult to be a Texas Football fan from 2010-2021, especially after my fandom really began during the 1998 season with Ricky’s Heisman and the subsequent run of good Texas teams, I’m glad that I learned how to detach my emotions from football results. Alabama fans are going to need to learn how to do that a little more now that the landscape has much more potential parity at the top due to NIL and Saban’s retirement.
  16. And again, it’s not correct. So, it’s not really a discussion item to be rehashed.
  17. Fucking dumb decision to go for it. Cost us points again, Sark.
  18. Auburn's gonna miss now because of the damn penalty and not taking the points in the first place.
  19. He's better than Blue. Wisner should start. Honestly, Gibson should probably play over Blue, too.
  20. Exactly. There's wild shit in the game almost every year. Whether it's huge momentum swinging plays, random blowouts, frequent upsets, and weird ass plays like that (bobbled TD passes, etc.).
