Texas Roster 2026
I understand that dichotomy makes it easier for some to process. But my son is a current D1 player. We also have countless friends who are also D1 players, a few of whom may be discussed on these boards. It’s really fun for us to follow right now. But here’s the deal, you are right in that they are not kids. But you are wrong because they aren’t grown ass men either. They are neither. Add to that this is the craziest of times in college football, times that even the most experienced adults are having a difficult time navigating and it’s understandable that many don’t know how to navigate it.

Never underestimate the power of opportunity.

I get this, but the problem with that binary thinking is you miss all the portal players from lower levels that are ready. Kinda what scouting and spring ball is helpful for.

Here is what I will say about my experience with Cal. My godson played for them. Bear Insider is controlled by a big Silicon Valley attorney or somesuch. He controls the narrative to the point that it’s whatever he wants it to be. When Nando (Mendoza) was there, they initially weren’t paying him (while paying two QBs ahead of him, even though he won the job). Then, they were vastly underpaying him. All the while, the narrative on Bear Insider was that he was being properly paid amounts that were nowhere near reality. When a teammate posted on the board that what the board was hearing was blatantly false, he was summarily shouted down and dismissed. Bear Insider (like others, I’m sure) says what it wants and hears what it wants. What I just wrote is straight from Nando and teammates and I have little doubt that if I brought this up to some Cal boosters, it would be dismissed. Weird stuff. Fanboys know no economic boundaries. But ultimately with the wealthy booster, it’s about control.

2025-26 CFP General Discussion
I posted this somewhere else but I will put it here as well. Template is already there in FCS. 24 team bracket starting week after the regular season, with no CCGs (11 conference champs and 13 at large). TV for CCGs and Bowl game influence get in the way in FBS.

FWIW, Lil’ Nigel and Durham competed against each other only once, two years ago in the 100m. Into a -.1 wind (almost none) they tied with 10.55. Tory Blalock ran 10.57, if I recall. Durham is built like a tank and that speed is not matched by most defenders.

Graduation was part of the story, not the reality. The only reality may have been the two scenes, beginning and end, where they are playing D&D.

I am cool with the end being ambiguous. One of the other things I went back and checked was in the last scene, Mike’s mom called them up for dinner. I wondered why that shot of her was included there, so I went back to see it. It is a little too blurry, but I wanted to see if she had the scars. She did not have visible scars on her body, I thought I saw the throat scar, but it was not clear on my screen.

We liked the finale. I thought it was a good soft landing that left it open to interpretation. Spoiler Was it real or just their D&D game? The first and last scenes in the series were the kids playing D&D. Were those the only two “real life” scenes? The way they wrapped up every character arc, they did everything separately from the core kid group, as if they are characters. The credits at the end: the drawings of the characters were together with their D&D profiles. I think it was a good way to leave it open to interpretation without pissing off an entire group of fans by saying that everything we just watched was their D&D game. Anyway, there is more but I liked that it was open-ended so to speak.

BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
It’s not binary. A lot of people (including Saban) think that PK’s D and Sark’s O were not the best fit. Doesn’t mean that they both haven’t been good over the past 5 years. But the soft, bend don’t break D and finesse O were in trouble vs UGA and OSU teams. Those together have given UT a finesse identity.

Posted this on the other board. For many of us, PK never felt like a good fit for Sark’s O or the SEC. Saban said as much in the playoffs last season. He said that at some point UT would have to play some man on D and be aggressive. PK was a “bend don’t break” DC. That doesn’t fit well with Sark’s finesse O. Sark’s O did better with Saban style D. That seems to be what he wants.
