  1. DT portal recruiting does not seem like it’s going well. Especially with needing 2-3 more for spring.
  2. Better than this years in terms of matchups but the first round will never be perfect in terms of matchups at 12 plus teams. The field isn’t going to shrink back down either.
  3. CJ Vogel The Longhorns and Sun Devils spoke with the media this morning to begin the Peach Bowl week of festivities in Atlanta. A couple of takeaways from the media availability time. *** – First, the entire Texas team made the quick trip over to the College Football Hall of Fame – including Lance Jackson, Michael Terry III, Justus Terry and new portal addition DL Cole Brevard from Purdue. The Longhorns will practice inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 12:45 ET. – Speaking some with Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt, it is easy to see where his swagger comes from. Leavitt exudes confidence and combines that with an always counted out chip on his shoulder. "I was just answering the comment to my fullest belief," Leavitt says. "I hope that every player on the field feels that they are the best. That is how it should be. You put all of this work in to get to this stage, so why would you not believe that yourself." For whatever the reason, Leavitt was only available for about the first 10 minutes of the hour allotted to Arizona State. I do not know if there was an additional television responsibility or if ASU was just looking to hide him a bit. For what it is worth, Ewers and Manning each spent the full hour on the floor taking questions. – Talking to Texas QB Quinn Ewers, he says the biggest thing he took away from the first trip to Atlanta was learning and growing more as a quarterback. Said you can't teach experience, you can only add it by learning firsthand. Ewers also spoke about QB Trey Owens coming along in his freshman season. – The belief is that WR Isaiah Bond will be completely ready for this game on Wednesday. Bond practiced with the team on Friday before the Longhorns departed from Austin. Bond says he is "feeling great and expects to play on Wednesday," vs. Arizona State. – I spoke some with OT Trevor Goosby who mentioned the learning curve of playing Mykel Williams, Jalon Walker, Shemar Turner and Shemar Stewart in his first real action that helped him get ready for extended snaps. Goosby says he prepares each week as though he will be starting and this week is no different, especially with RT Cam Williams questionable at the moment with a knee injury. – Texas DL coach Kenny Baker spoke very highly of his incoming group of linemen – Justus Terry, Josiah Sharma and Myron Charles. Baker says the Longhorns being able to fend off Florida for the signature of Charles was a big win for him and the Texas staff. Coach Baker told me one of the biggest reasons for the defensive line room playing at the level it is the buy in from Alfred Collins early on in his tenure. Baker mentioned Collins is a guy who is very well-respected in the locker room and once he was on board, the rest of the group followed quickly. – I tell ya what, there isn't enough time to speak about the words Tashard Choice has for RB Tre Wisner. There was a lot of praise for the humility and team-first approach of Wisner. Choice spoke about Wisner's vision and ability to get better as games progress. Choice says Wisner came in to Texas weighing 177 pounds. Wisner will play in the Peach Bowl at 202 pounds and Choice hopes he is able to get to 210 by the beginning of next season.
  4. We don't need to score 50 but we do have to start playing 4 full quarters if we want to win a title. Can't get away with these second halves after this week.
  5. Fuck byes...go to 16 teams, top 8 seeds host, higher seeds host the following round. Using the CFP Rankings from week before CCGs.
  6. Fuck byes. go to 16 teams, top 8 seeds host, higher seeds host the following round. The viewership of CCG's won't allow for them to go away.
  7. And we benefit greatly from it....I'd rather us keep the competitive advantage we currently have vs going to some highly overregulated shit like salary caps and the old bag system comes back.
  8. Good....they still need protections from opportunistic agents and etc. Schools pushing for this want to regain control.
  9. The structure needs to be for protecting players, not universities.
  10. Bobby - The portal window officially closed on Saturday for all players who did not or do not have a bowl game. From now on, the only players who can enter the portal must be bowl participants and their entrance must come no later than five days after the game is over. For example, Clemson’s Peter Woods, a defensive lineman, opted to return to Clemson by announcing that decision yesterday. - Of the players currently in the portal, we are following four of them: Zachariah and Zion Branch of USC, Nua Tanavasu of Utah and Toby Onyedim of Iowa State.
  11. I hope they keep Murray forever!
  12. What does your dad think of chicken fajitas?
  13. That would never work, it would have to be more teams hosting first couple of rounds.
  14. Does the school being a vacation destination for Surly members play into a recruits mind when choosing a school?
  15. Did the same shit at North Carolina
  16. ASU OL is the smallest line we’ve played since non conference
  17. @Chewbaccawill defend this
  18. Colin Simmons must have taken offense to it because he reposted it. But sure push your narrative!
  19. You’re so mad Quinn is breaking up with his girlfriend that is pregnant with twins because she wanted a 1 million dollar car.
