Texas Roster 2026
Win any of tOSU, UGa, FLA and we're in. Nobody disputes this. Arguing about scheduling tOSU instead of Little Sisters of the Poor is pointless. The overall problem, which we mostly have ignored here, has been the paucity of the running game. The OL being inexperienced and lacking in skill was one part there, and we don't know if Flood is wholly at fault or if Sark just failed to OC him. I lean toward the latter, and it seems that Sark very well may have had some serious non-football problems in his life. The lack of quantity/quality in the RB room is, to me, even more damning. While there seemingly were obvious personal issues between some of the backs and the coach, these are HC/OC shortcomings - for picking the coach in the first place, and for not being aware of, or ignoring, issues. Ultimately the bottom line imo is that Sark gambled that Baxter would be ready to go, and Wisner would continue to overachieve... or at the very least that one of the others would step up. The only one who stepped up was Wisner. Baxter couldn't, and no one else apparently gave Sark confidence to even let them try more than a couple of carries. Color me a solid shade of approval for the tOSU schedule. You wanna be the best? Fucking play the best, and beat them. All in on playing the best, now let's win.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
The talking heads shoulda started swaying left and right with him. Not seen the like since Texas DC Todd Orlando. I guess he really can't stay in one place for long...

Texas RB Talk
Winning will cure a lot of that. With some hard work and an open wallet, we should be able to improve the run game. The operative word being "should"...

Texas RB Talk
It's too bad the HC was too busy babysitting PK to tell the OC to get on his RB coach and get Gibson some touches... bet the OC had a playset for Gibson. Townsend seems like a prospect for those max-pro sets with RB lining looking like a blocker.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
With no NCAA limit on coaching staff, it seems like we might oughta find someone who can teach receivers to block, and maybe instill a desire to find someone to hit... legally, of course.

2025 GameAbove Sports Bowl - Northwestern vs. Central Michigan
Miz Long noticed this game and was surprised to see a "bowl" featuring Northwestern and - checks notes - Central Meatchicken. She has a niece who's a Northwestern alumna but was not aware that they have a football team. She asked me to put some perspective on it, but the best I could come up with was Rice v. Tarleton State... I don't think that's too far off.
