I’m sorry- is the book finished on this years OL? Both tackles will be first round picks- so just start there. I bet center gets drafted and we will also likely see 3 or 4 guards that get playing time get drafted as well.

That’s headsets and it’s a big one.

I’m resting comfortably and I’m very happy with where we are at. I’m certainly not guaranteeing that any of it comes to pass. But it absolutely could and that’s amazing to think about.

It will be Arch’s 3rd year in the program. I expect him to get plenty of live fire reps. It would hardly at all be unprecedented to have him step on and be awesome. And better than Quinn. Miami did it often. Mac Jones did it a couple years ago and he had nowhere near arch talent or other advantages that come from being groomed from birth to this.

The 05 oline was helped greatly by VY being such a run threat.

We will see. There is more nfl guys on this line though.

I really need some backstory on black peoples hating magic tricks

Whitley retaining enough rookie eligibility to be ROY next year is big time.

It’s absolutely possible that UT wins a national title, Ewers wins the Heisman and goes 1/1 in the draft and we have improvement at the QB spot going into 25. It’s like the Miami hurricane teams of the 80’s.

Comparisons with a little wish casting to 05 QB- edge 05. VY was aGod and the best college QB I’ve ever seen. Quinn Ewers is likely to be in NY for the Heisman ceremony and Arfh Manning might be an improvement on him in 25, so it’s not like this years team is hurting there. RB- Big edge 05. WR- Big edge 24. Biggest advantage 24 has. TE- 05- David Thomas was awesome. We have 2 NFL guys in 24 so we aren’t hurting. OL- edge 24? I think we have two first round tackles and I expect every guy on the line to be drafted eventually, but that 05 unit was good and cohesive. It didn’t have anyone as good as Banks, and the NFL prospects are much better for 24. If they play well and up to their talent as a unit this is an advantage, but who knows. DL- edge 05 but I think we might have 5 draft picks on this DL. If Collins has a great year this unit will be as good as that one and potentially better. Lb- edge 24. That was the weakest part of 05. Ant Hill is special and I think Gbenda would start ok that team as well. Secondary- edge 05. That was a truly special special group. This secondary should be pretty good I think- but that might be the best defensive backfield I’ve ever seen. specialists- edge 24- headsets- edge 24. Depth- edge 24. I would never pick against that 05 team against anyone because of VY. That said- this team is really really good I think. Will be interesting to do this again at the end of the year.

I do not think this game will be particularly close. It feels good to be back.

This is what college football should be all about. 2 blue bloods squaring off in front of 100,000 people with gameday in town and the eyes of the college football nation upon our horns. this squad, I believe, is really freaking good. We are going to take it to a 1 dimensional Michigan team. Texas is going to win and it’s going to be like Ohio State in 2005 and be the platform to launch us into a pretty special season. game week thoughts and articles and commentary goes here.

Everyone in is legal. Contest over.

Brown and Framber should have a code red on Peña. 2 fantastically pitched games fucked up by him.

Nah. He’s just the fireman guy that comes in mid inning.

Can we get some motherfucking insurance?

They are truly awful. So- we can pay an extra 30 basis points and they will promise not to sell your loan for 5 years when we hit it again in December in all likelihood. That's 30 to the fee not the rate- so works out to 1/8 or so in all likelihood on the rate. New-ish program. Almost nobody wants that, you have to well and truly hate servicers to choose that option...but, it's now there.

So- if this ends with: Terry, Charles, CA LB, Flip of a DT from Ark, Flip of a DT from Neb we are pretty good, right? That would leave us looking for a couple running backs (1 year types), Corner, safety, 2 or 3 DT's in the portal right? We should be set at QB, WR, OL, TE and Edge coming out of this season and with this class, right? I think I'd probably also prioritize a transfer PK in the portal. Seems smarter than a high school PK.

Those were basically the same game. And all bullpen guys torched are gone, right?

That the Baltimore game where they scored like 9 or 10 in the 8th and 9th against guys that are no longer in the org? When we had like a 15-2 lead or something?

I just realized Heyward will get a playoff share for the dodgers and the stros and 2 chances to win a ring. Kinda nuts.

Urquidy is gone. Sign one of JV or Kikuchi Next year you have: Framber, Brown, Arrighetti, Blanco, JV or Kikuchi, Garcia (that one should be a 90/10 he's back), Blubaugh (he will be ready and he will be decent), maybe McCullers (25/75). Javier potentially coming back to be in the bullpen down the stretch- but I'm not counting on him. That should be plenty enough.

Move Presley if he’s agreeable. Otherwise I’d offer Abreu 4/40 to buy out his 2 arb years and his 2 FA and trade him if he said no. If you believe Whitley is ready.

I wonder what his market is? I’d offer him 3/48- tell him if he stays healthy he will win 300 and compete for titles in a place he’s comfortable with the rest of his career. I’d he doesn’t like that shake his hand and say thanks.

If he gets to 300 as an Astro and won another title or two I think he’s an Astro in the HOF even though the majority of his work would have been done in Detroit. 2 cy young’s and 3 or 4 WS and the last man to win 300 is a lot of stuff that ties him to the Astros.
