  1. Holgerson and Gundy would kill it at Texas if they could survive the administration and handle all the baggage and extra responsibilities that comes with the Texas job. 

    IMO the only thing keeping those coaches  from reaching greatness where they are now is the ability to consistently recruit elite talent and depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They would get that here. 

  2. Interesting concept. That should work well in colleyville where they cant even stack logs. Hopefully that thing has a kill switch that is easily accessible. 

    On the other hand, don't forget about the freight shuttle system they invented in 2016 to move goods back and forth. You might recognize it as a train, which was invented in the early 1800's but don't let that get in the way of good bull!  I wonder how much that little study cost Texas taxpayers while these yokels spent $500M on Kroger field?

    Basically, all of the sites you see making commitment videos are doing it at no cost and for the publicity they receive from them. That goes from TexAgs to The Football Brainiacs. If someone actually fronts MONEY for the video to an outside company, that's different, but if you use your in-house staff to create it, then it's just marketing

    What about when said “site” is an actual branch of the university like Texags?

    For those of you planning on taking the points, maybe wait until later in the week.  It's already moved to TCU -4, and I suspect it may go another 1-1.5 points higher than that before closing.

    -3.5 still on Bovada. I bought the half point.

    Such a no class move by the students. Last year at USC no booing when Texas entered the stadium and defiantly  no FU Texas chant. 

    They’re the cheaters, why would they boo us?

    That just means LV thinks these teams are equal and UT is home. 

    The public money is holding it at 3.5 

    I always figured Vegas isn’t trying to predict the score, rather they are trying to maximize the amount of betters while maintaining equal money on both sides.

    In this game why take the spread, should probably just take ML. I think I saw USC +145 which is pretty good.

    So what's the latest on the USC QB situation. Is he out or not. I think Tom needs all the help he can get.

    Pretty sure JT Daniels is playing. He did come back and finish the game for USC against Stanford after getting checked up so I can't imagine he would miss this game after a week's rest. He's been practicing for most of the week and was lifting and participating in full pads practice as of Tuesday.

    Yeah it doesn’t always work that way in recruiting. Zero sacks also could mean instant playing time for a DL recruit. We need instant impact guys. 

    I get that, and to tex's point above, recruits do make uninformed or illogical decisions quite often.

    However, in this case, it's not like immediate playing time wasn't obvious before the season, or at least any more obvious than it is now.  What has changed between now and when he committed to A&M out of the blue before the season started? Why are we in a better place now, when all the obvious signs have us trending in the wrong direction and A&M is still travelling up the roller coaster?

  9. I’m sure the “secret visitor” is Demas, no clue if he actually shows though.

    And hopefully no one is getting their hopes up on Sanders. That dude is pretty actively getting recruited elsewhere by TJ Pledger and Zach Evans on Twitter, which actually tells you all you need to know about Evans.

    I’m confused why Boom gets mentioned and not Harsin. 

    I’m with you. Harsin’s offense wouldn’t be a drastic change in personnel or philipsophy if I remember right and he seemed to understand personnel decisions and playcalling. Maybe in the scenario where Herman is gone, Orlando stays

    I like coach Boom, but I don’t think I could justify trusting him to make the right hire on offense after the last 4-5 years.

    Orlando's use of Roach's talent thus far is inexcusable.  Need some Dawgs to show up at DL and LB for USC game.  Before Season, the DL was touted as strength of the Team..... wtf happened

    Just my opinion, but I think all the 9.95ers mistook depth for talent. We have a lot of good players but not a one of them is a difference maker. 

    If they haven’t been getting to the qb by now, it’s probably not gonna happen this year, and next year will be worse after graduation. Better hope Ojomo and Coburn develope quickly.

    If Texas plays smart, assignment sound football on defense and commits to running the ball with a blend of Ingram, Watson, Ehlinger, and some D Young in the second half it is definitely a winnable game. However, I do fully expect this staff to blow it.

     

    Won't be with Ingram - he's on crutches and questionable for Saturday. Does your answer change with Porter split out wide or getting 1.5 yards on first down?
