  1. It might be nothing, but thought this Malachi Nelson tweet belonged here.
  2. At least Sark has the guts to utilize the best RB in the country. Herman kept him on the sideline too often.
  3. https://twitter.com/Austin_Gamblers/status/1561160459730157569 Gambler Nation. Let's ride.
  4. Let the narrative changing begin! Texas Tech guy last night: https://twitter.com/garkmallemore/status/1560449416775061505?s=20&t=IBTB1CbSjnEGRf_1Bb44Sw Same guy this morning: https://twitter.com/garkmallemore/status/1560680868099883012?s=20&t=4ycH3J-WprVsNuuv2iVE8A
  5. I think the "6-6 is our ceiling" crowd is forgetting what our schedule looks like and the state of the big 12. ULM - Has won 9 games in the past three seasons Alabama - Is Alabama. UTSA - Are coming off their most successful* season, but lost loads of talent. @ Texas Tech - Breaking in a brand new coaching staff and first time college head coach. West Virginia - They picked up JT Daniels, but lost a ton of depth on defense. Oklahoma - Breaking in a new coaching staff and Quarterback. I legitimately have no idea what to expect from them this year. Iowa State - Lost Hall, Purdy, and Kolar @ Oklahoma State - They are mostly the same team. Will likely compete for the Big 12 title. @ Kansas State - They have Deuce Vaughn, but they're breaking in Adrian Martinez as their QB. TCU - New Coaching staff. Lost their most valuable offensive weapon in Zach Evans. @ Kansas - Is Kansas Baylor - Defending Big 12 champs, but lost significant talent on their defense. Texas is young. It has inexperience. But so does most of the Big 12 this season. Texas only has 4 true away games this season and two of those are at the Kansas schools. Even with all the inexperience, it's reasonable to assume that Texas will be favored against: ULM, UTSA, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Iowa State, Kansas State, TCU, and Kansas. Of that group of games, Tech and Kansas State are probably the biggest toss ups because Lubbock is a difficult place to play in, and Kansas State reasonably has the talent to beat us. We're probably going to lose a game or two we shouldn't lose (see Tech, KSU, TCU, or Iowa State). But we're also probably going to win a game or two we shouldn't win as well (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, or Baylor.) There is a path for 8 wins on this schedule. Even with the youth of this team. Even with the reports of one rough scrimmage and one "grandma's cookies without the secret ingredients" public practice. This team could absolutely falter to 6-6. They might even miss a bowl game. That's all very true and on the table as of right now. But to act like 6-6 is the ceiling is being ignorant of the schedule and the state of the conference.
  6. So… do we have anymore practice updates?
  7. Another important distinction is that Thompson continued to outplay Card with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. It took a few weeks before Card was able to demonstrate that he was the better option than a Quarterback who medically struggled to throw the ball to his receivers.
  8. Be careful. You're talking about a well-known member.
  9. Are you sure? Because we made this in December. https://www.change.org/p/quinn-ewers-and-family-get-quinn-ewers-home-to-the-university-of-texas
  10. Tommy Tubberville went from Ole Miss to Auburn and nearly played for a National title. It all went downhill after that season, but the move from Ole Miss to Auburn seemed like the one head coach upgrade he made.
  11. Cameron only won best director at the Golden Globes. But at the Oscars he lost best director to his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow and he lost best picture to Bigelow's Hurt Locker.
  12. Happy Spider-Man Eve to those who celebrate.
  13. What's the issue with calling Temple University TU?
  14. I’m not talking about Burke. I’m just saying that seeing all the “#FlipMas 👀” tweets will be really anti-climactic if it’s all because we had to replace recruits who flipped from us in the first place.
  15. I really need these flipmas teases to be significant additions and not just “Crud we lost our 4-star so we had to grab a developmental project.”
  16. This past week was the most stressful week of the entire at work. I was working on projects late at night for weekend deadlines all week. But I tell you what, this insane thread somehow helped me keep my sanity. Thank you, friends. Hook ‘em.
  17. I’m just stating the obvious with this, but Austin was among the most vocal Tech voices suggesting it was a tight race. For him to signal the white flag is massive. feelsgoodman
  18. Found the 4 star ranking. Rivals just rated him that way this month. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2023/daniel-sill-280951
  19. Not sure where the 4 star rating comes from. He’s unrated on 247.
  20. Nicole’s source told her it would be today.
  21. Probably a good sign.
  22. WE GOT BANKS. COME ON HOME, QUINN.
