  1. He’s hot because he learned Air Raid under a guy who learned under Kingsbury. While I love how that offense puts pounds of points on the board against average and bad teams, it’s an offense that still has yet to prove it can win a championship in the last several years. It also isn’t beating great teams. The shine is off a bit on Riley and other air raid coaches when it comes to beating top ten teams. OU is trying to relive the glory days of Leach’s offense. It will make them better for sure, but it won’t win them championships.
  2. I believe Georgia was tipped to Texas plays on both offense and defense. The Texas Georgia game was an outlier for both teams this year. Playing straight up Texas beats them this time around.
  3. This is the absolute worst stretch of the recruiting thread I’ve ever had to wade thru. And Jesus Funk, pull your shit together because you’re annoying the fuck out of everyone.
  4. It’s weird that they don’t have Texas in there anywhere.
  5. He was banned for awhile
  6. That’s laziness. That extra letter requires a lot of effort.
  7. Every time I read some of their drivel I can’t help but wonder how theoretically grown men can run around typing tu instead of UT or Texas. It’s so immature and cringey. And they think somehow that’s an insult when no Texas fan cares at all. It’s just weird.
  8. Although there have been a few suboptimal actions at certain positions like LB, DL and CB, overall you have to be extremely impressed with what Texas and the Texas One Fund have accomplished. With Knight, Ellison, A&M boosters, and Florida boosters all having a late bump in money, it’s pretty spectacular to hold this class together as well as they have, and even flipping a few along the way. I’m damn impressed.
  9. OU fans were so foolish to buy in to that bs five star ranking.
  10. KJ Lacey is an interesting QB take. Like others, I worried about his size and rating. However, it is interesting that this week he will likely become the leading passer in the history of the state of Alabama, has three title game appearances, and 1 or possibly two titles. Those are pretty big stats.
  11. Wow, I head to lunch with Sharma basically gone, and come back to a signed LOI. Awesome. Obviously, someone squeezed the Sharma. In a good way.
  12. Matt McClearin of The Ticket in Dallas has disclosed today that he was visited by and briefly abducted by aliens. I assume Surly immediately dismisses this, perhaps rightly so. haha. Sleep paralysis?
  13. They are moving him to punter.
  14. I wonder if Texifornia will bump this thread tonight and give everyone a heart attack.
  15. Holy shit Stephenson is one of the biggest busts to ever run a major corporation. His acquisition mistakes are some of the most legendary fuckups of all-time. Harvard business school case studies have been written about his terrible leadership. I’m sure he will do great at OU.
  16. Much like East Texas Box Face, there is definitely a Texas Aggie Douche Face, and it always includes a backwards hat and a recommendation to watch the tape!
  17. Well with Riley taking the Cowboys job in 3 months....jk
  18. I was so confused for the last few days over Gerry's comment about a lower ranked player potentially being in play. I had heard through the grapevine it was Littleton, who's obviously not lower-ranked. Sounds like Mills and potentially Littleton were/are both in play. As a side comment, I got bent out of shape about billionaire's coming in and changing the NIL game even more than they have to date. I understand that these billionaires have been part of this since the beginning, but I had heard in the last two weeks some unsettling things about the extent to which specifically Ellison might go. Through a pure coincidence, I used to work with his personal team on a business opportunity. I have been hearing that this "Ellison Wave" might be coming. Buckle up.
  19. Ha. I know the Lone Star guys. Runnnnn. On Austin sports radio, when I moved back to Austin I tried to listen to the various shows but they were all so bad as compared to The Ticket in Dallas I couldn’t take them. I can’t even keep any of the broadcasters straight except for Babers. Anyway, Austin Sports radio sucks and that’s a shame. It shouldn’t.
  20. Oh man how did I miss Little Man Syndrome Hamm from August.
  21. Texas 22 Georgia 18 36 for 189
  22. I just don’t see how a five star receiver would roll the dice like that, even if they are getting a nice check to join. They are potentially screwing up millions of not tens of millions of dollars for what essentially is a coin flip that it will work out. I guess he believes he can transfer if it fails, but that’s a risk too if you haven’t put up good numbers
  23. Sharma and Mbatchou both have moved into multiple decommit territory, imo lowering the probability of becoming a high value impact player over time. Although I do recall vaguely that Mbatchou was a high character player, so maybe he still pans out. Who knows.
  24. I’ve never met you but now I hate you, Tex
