  1. OB saying the buzz this evening has been Tech. TFB less clear but also sounding like it's 50/50 or worse
  2. Unbelievable. If you had told me he was going to transfer to OU or UGA or something, I wouldn't have been too shocked or all that outraged. But Tech???? No excuse for Sark to lose an elite QB who grew up a UT fan to Texas fucking Tech. Like I can't even imagine what legitimate reasons he'd have for picking them.
  3. Maybe we should hire Jones to replace our deadbeat WR coach
  4. Oh I'm aware. But maybe one or two of them really do have a legit connection close to Ewers/Southlake
  5. FWIW (not much), there are quite a few posters on 247 claiming to have Southlake connections and all saying it's definitely Texas. Obviously tend to ignore those people and assume they're trolls but the quantity and consistency of them is interesting
  6. Yeah I mean Tech just makes no sense especially without Dodge. Kittley seems like a good OC but he has only 3 years of non-P5 experience and Quinn has likely never even met him so zero relationship. Obviously Texas has a ton going for it between Sark, Austin, surrounding talent, childhood affinity, and NIL. You never know with these kids, but Tech would just defy all logic. And there are reasons for a smoke screen - 1. NIL leverage and 2. Avoid any tampering claims
  7. Logic would state that Ewers goes to Texas and it's a no-brainer. But these decisions aren't always based on logic so you never know.
  8. Dabo as WR coach????? Jk. Clearly watching Klubnik.
  9. Ah gotcha. No idea. Maybe so but I wouldn't be surprised if Phil Knight had bigger targets in mind.
  10. I don't think he's a HC candidate yet. He's only 30 years old and hasn't coached onfield in the P5 (only one year in FCS). Fair. I'm guessing Auburn would be in the opposite division and a lot can change by then. We're playing Tech in the near future.
  11. This whole process has played out as if they're keeping it under wraps while waiting for today's games to finish. Which leads me to believe it's either Fickell, Aranda, or possibly Lanning (maybe Gundy but that would be a crazy move). Most likely Fickell. #2 guess would be Aranda.
  12. Side note- I'd never heard of this Kittley guy but he's got a pretty impressive albeit short resume. Regardless of Ewers, I hope Auburn scoops him before TTU does. Related side note - There's a report that Auburn is down to 3 OC candidates - Kittley, the ASU OC, and....Dameyune Craig LOL wtf
  13. Hopefully offering Dodge his job haha. But seriously, if Sark has any doubt on landing Ewers, Landon Samson needs an offer asap
  14. Which would crash the site more - Ewers to Texas or Ewers to Tech haha?
  15. This really does make sense, but at the same time Nahlin's track record this year has been rough to say the least
  16. True but Mahomes also had Kliff as his coach. Arguably the best offensive mind in college at the time. Now we're the ones with the current "Kliff" and we have more surrounding talent to boot. So yeah he could make the NFL from Tech, but the odds definitely drop significantly.
  17. 9.95ers all over the place as usual. Yes Dodge, no Dodge. Graham Harrell OC, Zach Kittley OC (who's reportedly a finalist for Auburn but is a TTU alum).
  18. Exactly. One desperate booster could put something crazy on the table for him.
  19. I usually hate when we say things like this ("if he doesn't here he's gonna suck anyway") but in this case, I kinda agree tbh. There's already a bit of a warning sign with the tOSU decisions and picking Tech would be a total wtf decision. Pretty much the only advantages Tech could possibly have are following his high school coach (not a great reason) and maybe if they somehow put together an insane NIL deal (seems unlikely to beat us). Otherwise - Texas wins heavily on QB coach, surrounding talent, ongoing NIL/business opps, national exposure, city, championship chances (despite this year), etc. It only takes one nutjob desperate super-rich alum willing to throw in a couple million dollars. Like any big school, Tech has plenty of rich alums especially in the oilfield. Total net worth isn't everything - it's about what the boosters are willing to do. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's not out of question.
  20. Yeah ok this checks out. But still, if Ewers doesn't come here....
