Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I'd say maybe throw yourself into other Texas fall sports but Ange Kelly fucking sucks and so does, apparently, the women's soccer team. Volleyball plays this week, though. Probably not completely sating, but it's something. I see the NFL preseason in the same light and that will do tonight.

Write him off, buddy. As a general rule, if a freshman isn’t in the “I’m told” part of the $9.95er updates before their first fall camp ends, they’re never going to produce for the program.

$9.95 worth every penny
Good lord.

Anytime Tarp can get a minute away from the football department censors, he's writing subtle SOS letters disguised as threads in which he's trying to let anyone who may be listening know - know that the aggie defense is going to have its cheeks clapped on a regular basis. Spoilered below is an article in which Tarp explains that the dominance in camp of the aggie offense might not be the greatest thing. It's also giving an indicator that the aggie front 6/7 is small and is going to get manhandled this season. He fails to say they're also slow and that they lack talent, but we don't need him to tell us that, as we've watched them play. Highlights: -York and Scooby Doo go 227 and 230, listed. York is a menacing 5'10". York is tiny and he's not going to have massive guys in front of him to buy him time on plays. He's like a midget version of Danny Stutsman. He'll rack up 10 tackles per game, averaging a distance of 9 yards down the field per tackle. -Albert Regis is listed as 6'1", 320. He's a buttplug who's probably not clocking in at 6'0" if he were somehow invited to the combine. -What they fail to account for in the interior isn't helped out on the outside, where they are also small-ish. Here's where Tarp explains that they're going to have to walk safeties up on most plays. -Luckily, Tarp points out the solution to all of this: The aggies need to always be playing with a lead. If they have the lead, they can theoretically apply pressure on the passing game. I didn't realize that being small and slow made your matchups favorable in the passing game for a defense, but I am not an aggie sportswriter, either. -The good news is that ATM won't be playing any teams this year with talent in the running game. There aren't any guys like Jeremiah Love or Ahmad Hardy or Jadyn Baugh or CJ Baxter with size and speed to punish their weakness. No mobile QBs like Taylen Green or Arch Manning or DJ Lagway or Lenoris Sellers to press the outside and run RPO. Nothing to see here, folks.

Ohio State scrimmage update from Bucknuts spoilered below. Their insiders are pretty subdued while trying to stay positive regarding the OL and running game.

The Canterbury Tales was a bawdy, medieval delight to read, sir. I don’t see a problem with scheduling ASU or Louisville as the P4 future opponent. Hell, ASU is ours in like 2032/2033 or some shit.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Huh? This thread doesn’t bother us. I love this thread. Hounding your dumbass is more fun than it should be, but here you are living up to my expectations again. I can’t lose.

Texas A&M Football 2025 - On the Edge of Glory(holes)
This has been a big part of my argument all offseason. They’re getting a lot of credit for their roster and I don’t get it. They lost guys to the NFL and they’re replacing them with guys who aren’t getting drafted. They’re getting credit for returners and they don’t develop guys. So what if mediocrities are returning? Separately, the other major issue is that all of the breaks they got with their schedule last year are turned against them this season. Five true road games, three of the opponents ranked in the top 10. They’re talking about an easy blowout against UTSA. UTSA is a 2024 bowl team returning a bunch of good ballplayers with a good coaching staff. I’m not expecting a UTSA win, but I will be surprised if it is a walk in the park for ATM.

Adjacent to our season, Bama lost Jam Miller for a lot or all of the year with a separated collar bone. Dude is good and they thought he was going to have a big year.

Gerry said he’s a bad fit for the Texas offense? You’re confident he said that, bill?

Tell me about Texas Tech
I consider it some sort of banal version of performance art by slorch. It’s sort of the forum version of Tech’s athletic programs historically. Blandly mediocre, largely irrelevant and vaguely unfamiliar.

Okay, let’s get a grip here. Texas isn’t hated in the media. Some folks resent Texas, sure. For most, things are better when Texas is contending, like’em or not. Same for an others like ND and USC. It helps their discussions. Also, I go to a lot of other fanbase boards. Everyone thinks the media hates their team. All of them.

Yeah, I remember you saying that. I don’t remember Gerry saying it. I don’t think the staff purposely fucks with $9.95ers who put in work and share information. Two way street. Sometimes, the “billfromlaketravis filter” simply has to be applied.

Spoilered below is an article mistitled by Tarp. He says it’s about the LBs, but it’s about the RBs. Highlights: -Tarp again pushes one of the most laughable bullshit premises that anyone talking about ATM seems to have to push -that Reuben Owens is a big play guy. If I remember correctly, the guy’s longest play from scrimmage is less than 25 yards and very few are more than 10. Where in the fuck did this notion come from? -He’s identified that some of the aggie honks have prematurely started pushing true freshman Morrow as the next big thing. This is happening because idiots who cover the team overrate 7 on 7 performance.

Sort of like how Gibson is like 4th on the depth chart at this time? Are you sure this is actually what Gerry said, bill?

Pretty sure they played for the conference title in 1997 and were routed. I think you’re thinking of their claims for the 2007? and 2010 South Division titles when they did not, in fact, play for the conference title.

In that thread, one guy comes on and adds that half the stadium or more was maroon and that the aggies actually had the advantage in that game. They’re truly pathetic people.

“What do you want to see against UTSA?” thread of mostly idiocy and delusion linked below. Highlights: -At least one guy is calling them “tusa “ -40+-10 blowouts predicted repeatedly. -Table stakes for one guy is 600+yards from the Klein offense. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553333

So the best #13 we can highlight in longhorn football history is a guy that had his big chance to separate yesterday and instead dropped 3 passes and was later relegated to providing water to the starters during red zone drill timeouts? Okay then.
