  1. Terms of the extension have not yet been shared, but we will update as they become available. It marks the second straight season Lashlee has inked an extension.
  2. Heard $9.95er's podcast talking about Brian Kelly's buyout, and they laughed that at least it's currently less than Jimbo's... Jimbo's just a year ago at approx $76mill 😎
  3. This week on OTF Coach Erwin said he thought Ewers velocity looked better in the Arky game...
  4. AUSTIN -- The Texas A&M Aggies are apparently prepared to pull out all the stops when they host the Texas Longhorns in a monumental rivalry rematch in College Station on Nov. 30. Per Nicole Griffith of KBTX News, the Aggies are planning to place additional speakers on the sideline against Texas, which will add even more noise to what will already be a raucous crowd at Kyle Field. Texas A&M used these speakers for the first time this season in Saturday's win over New Mexico State in what appeared to have been a test run. Of course, this strategy will certainly be a hot topic of conversation on social media for both fan bases, as the idea to pump in some extra noise at a stadium known for its hostile environment will have Texas fans questioning the atmosphere at Kyle Field. The decision to add the speakers is certainly a curious one. No one is doubting the noise the 12th Man is capable of bringing, especially for a game of this magnitude. Kyle Field has proven it's one of the best homefield advantages in college football whether Texas fans want to admit it or not. Regardless, the Longhorns have hardly been fazed by road environments over the past two seasons. Texas will enter the matchup having won 10-consecutive true road games, as the Longhorns haven't lost on the road since Oct. 22, 2022 against Oklahoma State. That's the longest active streak in the FBS. If Texas can take down Kentucky on Saturday and then Texas A&M on Nov. 30, the Longhorns will almost certainly avoid being the road team in a potential first-round game in the College Football Playoff, regardless of what happens in the SEC Championship. This streak would then lead into next season as an impressive feather in the cap of head coach Steve Sarkisian. Texas and Texas A&M will kick off from College Station at 6:30 p.m. CT on Nov. 30. https://sportspyder.com/cf/texas-longhorns-football/articles/49959436
  5. Lots of great defensive plays in video... 🤘
  6. Damn I must be hungry... I read above line "If thats the case he better get his head out of his ass and make some shiitake" 😎
  7. Sergeant Al Powell : Hey Roy, how you feeling? John McClane : Pretty fuckin' unappreciated, Al. AUSTIN, Texas — Meeting with the media on Monday for the first time in weeks, Texas Longhorns redshirt junior quarterback Quinn Ewers was asked to assess his performance this season. Ewers demurred. “I mean, we’re 9-1, I’m pretty excited about that,” Ewers said. As the national conversation surrounding the No. 3 Longhorns has focused on the team’s strength of schedule and lack of wins over top teams, a large portion of the Texas fan base has spent this week in varying stages of meltdown about Ewers throwing for just 172 yards on 32 pass attempts in the 20-10 win over Arkansas in Fayetteville. The discourse surrounding Ewers also prompted a question about whether he feels appreciated by Longhorns fans. “Do I feel appreciated? Yeah, I think so. They’re passionate, for sure, but yeah, feel good about it,” Ewers said. On Thursday, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian broke off from answering a question about what his quarterback is going through to send a message to the fanbase. “I tell this to all Longhorn Nation — we’re 9-1 for the second year in a row, we’re competing for a conference championship for the second year in a row. We’re competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff for the second year in a row. Don’t forget what the last decade looked like. Let’s just remember how good we’ve got it right now and appreciate this team for how good they’re playing right now,” Sarkisian said. How’s that for perspective?
  8. Yeah, Sark not adjusting better to that shit arky threw out there on defense really sucked. Guess having DeAndre getting injured early in that game was part of the problem.
  9. Here's video from above article ⬆⬆⬆ Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte talks innovation, fan loyalty, future of college athletics University of Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte was recently honored as the "Austinite of the Year" by the Austin Chamber of Commerce – a recognition he sees as a reflection of the institution and the city, rather than a personal accolade. In a wide-ranging interview with KVUE's Bryan Mays, Del Conte discussed his role, the athletic department's achievements and his vision for the fan experience at Texas sporting events.
  10. Thx for this @satyanash Scipio Tex on Arky game Linebacker If there’s a nit to pick with the defense, it’s at LB. All of them struggled with Arkansas doubling our playside bigs in front of them and filling the hole with authority. Even when they met the running back one or two yards into the hole, Arkansas runners added another 2-3 yards of drag. Slow triggering and not bringing enough when they got there. If you read my postmortems, that’s a persistent theme since ULM and Mississippi State. Lefau got caught in the wash too often and he wasn’t physical enough at the point of contact. He also flat out missed a couple of tackles coming late to the ball. Hill is still slow triggering when it’s coming right at him. As a counterpoint, I thought Hill was great in pass coverage against the talented Arkansas tight end and against the screen game. He’s a special athlete in space. Defensive Back Jahdae Barron was terrific. A nice example of football IQ. Barron sees that he’s accounted for on the blitz outside and also that we’ve got contain handled, so he works inside to where he knows Green will step up and notches the sack. He also has a nice heads up pick playing over the top on a well thrown seam route that a bad Arky receiver bobbled. Being around the ball results in good things and Texas had three defenders in close proximity to worry the receiver. #7 filled up the box score with 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss (including a terrific 3rd and 3 backfield stop on a screen), a sack, two hurries (including on a 3rd and 10 on our 25) and the aforementioned interception. Barron was targeted 5 times in the passing game and surrendered only 19 yards on 3 catches. Great timing on a PBU playing through the ball that forced the official to pick up his flag. No defender – other than perhaps Collins – made more WOW plays on Saturday than Barron. He absolutely dominated. Both Jelani McDonald and Guilbeau had some struggles on the edge containing Taylen Green. 6-6 guys with legit acceleration and big strides move differently than you expect at field level. I think Texas fans have some sympathy for that. They combined for four missed tackles. Guilbeau also got hit for a 20 yard completion and a couple of short balls. Kobe Black got matched up with Andrew Armstrong on his six snaps and lost most of them. Armstrong hit him for 25 yards, Armstrong’s longest gain of the day. Manny Muhammad wasn’t physical enough in run support. Taaffe was very active from deep safety, notching 8 tackles, including a decent blitz reroute into a tackle for loss. #16 doesn’t get thrown at a lot, in part because he’s so good at anticipating routes and cutting off the option before it materializes. Mukuba had a clutch tackle for loss on a Green keeper.
