If Parker Livingstone is one of our "best pieces", light the cigarettes now, boys, because we are well and truly fucked.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Didn't know where to post this and hadn't seen it until today, so here it goes. 247 posted their updated talent composite rankings heading into the season. Link is below. Highlights: -walk-ons like Endries and Taaffe do not contribute to the scores due to the rankings being based on high school recruiting. -STs guys who did get scholarships are counted, so guys like Lance St. Louis and Will Stone do count. -Those are two flaws with the system and that could create an imbalance for any school that doesn't develop, or portal, walk-ons and does not offer ST players. -Development of talent is pretty key, obviously. This ranking does a decent job of inadvertently highlighting who does and does not develop the talent on their campus. I know I'm biased, but ATM and OU both stand out as programs on this list who are performing below their ranking on an annual basis now. Auburn, Florida, and Miami are also pretty hideous developers if you just go off rankings versus output. ATM and Auburn are by far the worst. -The falloff from Texas at 4 to Oregon at 5 is rather large. Georgia is way out in front, but a big portion of that is that they've got so many more signees on their roster. -You can argue that there are at least 3 tiers on this list. The first 4 teams should be considered CFP favorites. 5-16 should be considered CFP regulars and 17-down is everybody else. Now, is that infallible? No. ATM and Auburn immediately debunk that premise. But as shorthand, for me at least, the premise makes sense in terms of generally matching my expectations. https://247sports.com/college/texas/team/texas-longhorns-football-43/roster/

I'm sorry, but Jaggy McJaggerson is not going to be a priority this weekend. Run inside, run outside, jet sweeps, hit Wingo, Moore and Endries, win by 11 and leave town. They're going to play 21 and 12 personnel as much or more than 11. Who are you taking off of the field in order to keep McJaggerson out there? A better blocking TE? One of the talented RBs? "Don't throw it to that guy!"- $9.95 worth every penny
This is mostly correct. There’s a strong potential for symbiosis between OTF and Texas athletics that doesn’t exist for UT anywhere today.- God help me, I have to spend a night in Fayetteville!
I couldn’t get a consistent signal a few years back while driving from Houston to Memphis. Waze sent us an alternate route than our normal path due to some massive wreck and then we lost connection. I thought I was steadily driving deep into east Texas. By the time I was able to get coverage again, we were on some Louisiana backroad nearing the Arkansas border. That shit looks the same for hundreds of miles around. The drive between Little Rock and Memphis is as bland and generic as any really anywhere. True for whoever mentioned that.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
You’re heading to the portal? Headed to a safer haven where you can be the tallest midget, eh? With you leaving Surly and joining Orangebloods, you’ll be raising the collective IQ of both places.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Apparently, Owens is now firmly entrenched as the 4th string QB. @Red Five is preparing his head scratching tool as I type this.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Cardale Jones. Reuben Foster is a wifebeater, so him knocking out a defenseless person is par for the course, I suppose. I enjoyed the stories, in any event.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
They’ve had something like 11 losing season in 135 years. Their performance far outstrips any of our lifetimes, much less Meyer’s tenure there.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
I love her.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I saw one of the rants on that a year or two ago and have been purposely fucking with all of ways in which DE/OLB/Edge can be termed ever since. I’ve also taken to capitalizing positions across the board and I can almost see certain posters’ eyes twitching.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I consider myself a moderately intelligent person and I have no fucking clue what this means. I read it three times and still got nothing. It’s similar to when someone goes on a rant about misusing the term “begs the question”. They do it with conviction and so I feel like “man, they must be right, but I have no fucking clue what they’re trying to teach me here. “ I do know one thing though, if this level of pedantry doesn’t bring this thread to a screeching halt, nothing will.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The Apple Turnover game. One of the shittiest games of that period. I cannot believe there is still this kind of energy around the Simms/MA period. What boring shit.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
I've asked about Brooks and I think your theory is correct. 3 different groups have confirmed that they know of no injury and that he's also not getting any run for PT in the Ohio State game. While it would be hilarious if Lockett just straight up beat out Jaggy to start in game 1, the guy Bobby is referencing is almost certainly Littleton.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
We're all subjective except for Sydney. He's our idiot savant.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
We've all seen your jocksniffing photos. They're not bonafides. You're a Westlake honk who happens to be involved with work that intersects with college athletes in Austin sometimes.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
A Bucknuts reporter fielding questions gave his QB comparison thoughts:- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
All of the attention from opponents will surely frustrate at times, but I am confident Simmons will still post big numbers. I feel like natural and instinctive pass rushers are one of those groups in sports who always wind up getting theirs over the course of a season. If it isn't Littleton, who the hell else would it be? One of the WRs? Are you telling me that Jaggy has already been displaced by one of the newcomers? Can you please post that image again? I want to be able to text it randomly to my buddies during the game when his 360 pound ass is getting ragdolled sideways by Eddrick Houston.- Tell me about Texas Tech
Yes, a long, long time ago.- Tell me about Texas Tech
You're formerly TaylorTRoom, I've always presumed. Correct?- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Weren't you there with me? It's been a long time. But, yes, some fatass woman with a tiny husband and two pre-teen kids was getting into her minivan and turned around to a group of us and started yelling that "texassss sucks" and other inanities. I told her she needed to drop a couple hundred pounds and stop embarrassing her little husband and idiot kids in public. I believe her son now posts on this site as @Chewbacca.- 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
I know Les. He's a great guy and loves Texas. I think he'd fight Shawn Watson right now if the two of them ended up in the same room.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The only time in my life in which I have vomited while perfectly sober and healthy was in the parking lot of the Cowboys' stadium immediately following that game. It sucks that we lost the content from Shaggy. One of my favorite threads was one I created on the recruiting board that tracked Swoopes' performance his senior year of high school. There were a great many posters on Shaggy and 247 who argued in support of Mack Brown's choice to take Swoopes instead of JT Barrett as some sort of "trust the corchez!?!" amazing evaluation. "He's the next Vince Young!" was posted numerous times, including in an article with that title from Howe on 247. Reading about that guy slowly going 1-9 or 2-8 with terrible stats at his 2A high school had some of them pulling their hair out throughout that fall. I appreciate Swoopes for what he was at Texas, but, man, those were dark times as a fan.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I like Ehlinger fine as a former player. I liked him at Texas fine for the most part. I thought he sucked as a freshman and called him a loser before he went on to have solid rest of his career, making me look like an idiot as he did so. I have acknowledged I was wrong on the loser comment on the old Ehlinger thread. It doesn't prevent folks who really, really love Ehlinger from bringing it up any time I hurt their feelings on something else. You see one of our resident Westlake lovers doing that here because I apparently don't appreciate Klubnik to the appropriate levels that his Clemson performance demands. Regardless of all of that, it's never not fun to rile up those with I Am Sam sensitivities. To your point about that 2020 OU aftermath, I will also always appreciate Ehlinger doing what he did. And fuck Caden Stearns forever. I will never value that asshole as a former player. - 2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
