So, I know I shouldn't pay any attention to Yah*o but here are their stats on the Longhorns as of 10/19/22

 

Passing Yards
92nd @253.7 PYPG

Rushing Yards

76th @179.9 RYPG

 

Total Yards Per Game
72nd@433.6 YPG

 

Those are not good numbers and definitely not great numbers.

I consider "great" to be anything in the top 15.  But that's just my opinion.

 

What would it take for us to get to #15 ranking in Passing Yards, and in Rushing Yards and in Total Yards?  Respectively?  

 

Play worse opponents? Unadjusted stats are completely worthless.

Adjust for opponents and pace of play and...

Voila

Does anyone know why we don't claim the 1914 national championship? Undefeated?

I looked at this upthread. We only claim AP titles, which means we've left a bunch of legit titles on the ground for others to claim.

That’s even weird for 1914 because AP poll didn’t start until 1936.

Hey, guy!

Do you have a dumb question to ask? 

Do you have a modicum of self-awareness? 

Welcome to the Stupid Question amnesty thread!

This is a judgement free zone. A place for lazy interneters to ask recruiting questions they could easily find the answer to, but are too lazy to Google.

A few rules:

• Dummies: There are no rules. Ask away!
• Answerers: Approach questions in good faith and remember that this poster has the self awareness to ask in this thread instead of the main recruiting threads. If a shitty question is asked on another thread, reply to it here and shame the poster.

And remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid posters.

Can someone fill in the black spots on the top of the B, next to the U, around the D and S, etc.?

It messes with my IDKW when viewing in dark mode.

Does UT always sing Eyes of Texas at road games?

If so, do we let opponents do their own thing at DKR after games too?

Admit it. You’re a nerd.

I’m almost positive we did it when I attended my first away game in 1979.  I’m not sure if the team gathered in front of the band, though.

We don’t stop them.

What do we currently stand with players’ 2nd and 3rd transfers and immediate eligibility? Just saw that Jalen Hulliby is on the move again and I’m assuming he hasn’t graduated but doesn’t expect to have to sit a year.

Is the expectation that the NCAA 1 free transfer rule is completely toothless and players are just going to enroll and play and pay it no mind? Are they all applying for exceptions that are being rubber stamped by the NCAA?

[Viper 12101]

From what I've read if they want to transfer again and not sit out a year they'd have to ask for an exemption and potentially need a lawyer to help with that and possibly file suit if denied. It seems like the NCAA is caving whenever someone does that and granting extra transfers without having to sit out a year.

How do most parents of star football players get to games when they live more than a couple hours away?

Are they on their own to get to the games?

Do they just drive 3.5 hours each way?

Does UT give them hotel rooms or do they book their own?

Does UT pitch in to help them out with airfare (like for single-prop city-to-city stuff)?

 

I think it's amazing how many out of town parents make it to every game, every year.

Well I think you can now legally pull a USC, and buy the parents a house, so that they don’t have a mortgage/rent anymore and can spend that on traveling to see their kid play ball.
