Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I don’t think a heads up is out of line. If someone has options and is traveling with kids, maybe they pick another hotel. My wife and I went to NOLA for a long weekend once and stayed at a hotel on Canal Street because we liked the deal and we don’t mind the area. Well, this particular weekend, that hotel and several others were hosting an annual event called “Nawty In N’Orleans” - a swingers convention. The thing included timed sessions in conference rooms discussing aspects of swinging. It was surreal. These people attending were not the lookers you’d be hoping for in that situation. A ton of olds, fatties, and hillbillies. Getting talked up by people in every elevator ride got old really quickly. Would have been nice to have had a heads up so we could have picked something in the garden district. -

Not only that, neither of them is Jaggy McJaggerson. By the end of this season, we could be stacking whitey on the AA lists. -

Here's a link to the All American team from the Sporting News. Bill Bender wrote it. Article is spoilered below as well. He was on Off Campus/Meathead Radio today on XM 84. He's on there regularly during the CFB season and I think he's a good listen. The Meatheads today, Hester, Carpenter, and Manual, were somewhat blown away by a few picks, the main one being the 1st Team QB. NGL, I am as well. Also, they made a good point about the LBs on both 1st and 2nd team - this is an amazing year for LBs in CFB. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/sporting-news-2025-college-football-preseason-all-america-team/cb368a9b8f7bc0563eaba1b7 -

Today's practice write-up spoilered below. You can tell that there was a talking to with the media because today there is zero mention of injuries. Or maybe ATM is the only team in the country to have gone through 6 practices so far and yet not a single player is dinged up. -

I think you should do it. There are a lot of ingredients with all of this for hilarity in those discussions at times. Also, numerous game thread posters would be in there weekly the first time Texas punted on a 3 and out, decrying that game as being the next catastrophe with 3 minutes left to play in the 1st. If so, he was a late riser. -

Spoilered below is a write-up about the freshmen performing thus far in camp from Bobby and Gerry. It really is starting to sound like Littleton could be big time. This is class gets really deep if one of the last and lowest ranked takes becomes a true freshman starter.- 5662 replies

My wife had a friend who was pretty hot and was an unabashed Disney Adult. Her husband sort of went along to appease, I guess. I thought it was weird. Then one night we were having dinner with them and the other wife proposed that we have a couples swap. Out of the blue. So I've always attached "Disney Adult" to that gambit, for better or worse, I guess. Shockingly, that couple didn't make it. He's the closest thing to a real life version of Jonah from Veep that I have ever encountered. It can lead to high entertainment when he's triggered properly. **** On a semi-serious matter, Kreul really does have a very high opinion of himself apparently, and he's also got a lot of Florida Man in him. I'm hoping that Texas lands him and he becomes our version of Brian Bosworth and just perpetually embarrasses and infuriates both our fanbase, and our opponents. -

There's some sort of pathological need in our hivemind here to self-flagellate in public here. We need to bring up Charlie Strong and be reminded of his 3 consecutive losing seasons and losing to Kansas. We need to bring up Tom Herman and be reminded of multiple losses to Maryland and flipping off a national tv audience and crying on the sideline and not knowing how to swing a sledgehammer and being a condescending fucktard. We need to pay penance for Late Mack and taking Taylor Doyle in a wheelchair and signing guys like Chet Moss and Kyle Kriegel and avoiding QBs like the plague around Garrett Gilbert in order to avoid a Gale Gilbert rape risk. Mix in the Cotton Bowl on 1/1/1984, running Colt McCoy up the middle in the Rose Bowl, and 66-3 and that'll do it for the day. -

Annual Russell Gaskamp Award Nomination & Discussion Thread
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I changed the thread title so we don't have a write a new thread every year. Given limited interest in the discussion, seems like a valid time saver. Due to the emergence of the portal, I certainly the old way of thinking about this award needs editing. You kind of did that in this post by including JRs who haven't played much. We have very few actual seniors who aren't a walk-on, multi-year two-deep guys, or new transfers. My thoughts: -Guilbeau - maybe he's played too much, but I don't really see that. He hasn't been a core part of the secondary in the past, at least, after his injury. -Robertson - he's played sparingly and now he's OG3 and C2. He could wind up being pretty important. -Umeozulu - presumed starting LG. I'm taking Umeozulu out of that group of 3. I sure as shit hope he lives up to the award's namesake this season. -

I really wish you guys would stop conjuring the concept of needing someone to fill in for Goosby. That dude is playing in 16 straight games, every snap except for garbage time. -

Some day you might get lucky enough to have a few kids. Oddly, they'll eventually want to go to Universal and Disney World. -

Can you Austin idiots shut the fuck up with the boring discussion you can take to the "I'm going to bore you with city boundaries and local eateries" board? Connolly put out his "Most Important Players in CFB 2025" article, listing the top 40. Manning is predictably #1. Hill and Simmons are the only other horns mentioned, albeit not ranked. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45899578/the-40-most-important-players-college-football-2025 -
OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It

Update from today's practice spoilered below. Highlights: -Demarco Murray was living out his fantasy and again in the OU backfield taking snaps during part of the session. The okies are down to two healthy RBs that can go through drills. -Half the WR room is out. Burks is doing some drills, but not many. -Simmons (projected starting RT) like has a concussion and hasn't been out there since day 1. -The Defensive Ends and their position coach were behaving like idiots in public. -
Dvoracek has turned his life around and he's also not a completely biased, mouthbreathing sooner like so many of his ilk in the media. Biased when discussing OU? Sure. Biased when discussing Texas, unless it's Texas/OU Week? Not really. He's a great color guy for CFB and he does an excellent job on his show. He does his homework. Does that make what Sydney pointed out irrelevant? Absolutely not. The guy did all of that shit and Stoops let him come back anyway. I'm merely pointing out that multiple things can be true at the same time. He's not a pure okie honk like Ikard, Knowkah or Plank. Those guys cannot help themselves when discussing OU or Texas and they often get to have national platforms when doing so. I lend a lot more credence to Dvoracek's opinions on the sport, programs, players and coaches than I do the other guys. It's similar to the LSU honkers like Burns or Caroline Fenton versus Jacob Hester, except Hester didn't get shithammered and beat his best friend into a coma when he was younger.

Awesome, happy to have you. First thing to do is put the dumbass you quoted on ignore and you'll then be far more likely to enjoy yourself and also not clog up threads arguing with a room temperature IQ troll.- 5662 replies

OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
For more than a decade, I'd look at who Texas was returning on the OL and then read about how they were looked at in the preseason magazines and my head would almost explode. "Yeah, we're returning 3 starters in 20XX, but they all sucked. They all lacked physical requirements that would enable them to be good. What are you guys looking at?" I feel like that right now when I consider the OU OL situation. None of those guys looked good last year. They keep talking about Nwaiwu as some sort of asset because he stayed healthy and had the most starts. He competed with Cam Williams for most penalties, but his weren't just false starts but also personal fouls in back-breaking moments. He missed more assignments than Billy Madison. That's one of your budding OL stars? Okay, then. -
This prompted me to look up George O'Leary and then to deal with the subsequent shock that that resume padding motherfucker is still alive. 78. Wow. The fucking Irish, man.

Apparently, there is some real buzz around Zuhn being moved to Center. Tarp offers his take, spoilered below. He does that whole write-up and fails to analyze the impact of having Crownover and Fatheree on the field at the same time. If they're rolling Fatheree out at RT, he's either been miraculously rejuvenated to the shining 18 YO recruit that he was, or he's about to set a record for sacks allowed at the P4 level. The idea of Reed having to throw more because Zuhn fucks up their running game at C is also extremely gruntling.- 469 replies

Here's a link to a YT segment from Sooners Illustrated mods and insiders who have attended the practices and talked with coaches and those around the team. They're discussing their view on progress and questions so far: -
