Based on a single play Bijan is going to run for 2,000 yards but our defense will be terrible. - Surly

Yeah. Everyone forgets to remember that Bijan is the best RB in college football, and there are maybe 3-4 teams that have a RB that could be in that category. It's also likely Texas doesn't play any of those teams.

But are we remembering to forget?

Surprised they posted this clip of Omeire, he appears to come up hurt at the end.

He doesn't seem too beat up over it

Y'all see Waddle play in the NC game? Coming back from injury is a process

Are you suggesting that Charlie actually HAD an approach?

From the perspective of "no approach IS an approach"... uh, yeah. Yes. Yes, I am.

[TommyGufano 6,021]

I did think the dude ID'd as Moro upthread was AC. But since Ojomo is like 15 I just assumed he hit a growth spurt. I'd believe it's either guy though. Blurry 95 and blurry 98 pretty indistinguishable 

[Machinator 32,099]

IT's take on Josh Thompson

Spoiler

UT's Josh Thompson tweaked his hamstring during yesterday's practice, but sources say it's not serious, and he should only miss a few days. Thompson has been the best corner on the roster this spring, but appears to only be a minor setback. We'll keep you posted.

I had 2 acl reconstructions on my right knee in high school. I can tell you that for the first few months of going full speed every little tweak will make your body wince a little. You walk it off and move on when you realize everything is fine.

Could also be scar tissue breaking up.

[markstanco 12,574]

Put Bijan in gawd damn bubble wrap.  I saw enough from his break out run where he spun, juked, and stiff armed a defender in one run.  Some guys have elite traits and Bijan and Jordan Whittington both have it.  Put them in bubble wrap because I'm worried what this offense will look without those two players

Wow, pretty hard to put jordan and Bijan in the same sentence here.

One is considered arguably a top 3 rb, and the other likes to work out. We've all seen this before with WRs. Recently.

I think we’re all about to see Whittington finally ball out this season.  I understand  it’s hard to have faith after his injury history but I believe.

According to Jason, if you can't score a touchdown from the 50 as a RB every single snap, then why even play the game. Texas unfortunately "has to play him"... I am going to be really disappointed when he repeats his KState and Colorado performances multiple times this year. Sigh.

Jones just has the look of a true NFL tackle vs say Conner/Cosmi. Hopefully he can put it all together. The sky truly is the limit for him.

Looking forward to the Spring Game with my kids... 🤘

I am a moron and my shit's all regarded.

Seriously, WTF. Of course, the same complaints used to be made about Emmitt Smith, and I'm willing to bet Bijan's top speed puts Emmitt in his prime to shame, but what the fuck ever. CRACK:  Not even once.

Haven't been that many Heisman winning RBs in recent history, but I am pretty sure that D Henry, M Ingram and R Dayne didn't run sub 4.5 40s. 

[GoldAppleCorps 619]

Bijan jump cuts through a hole in the wide zone. You recover from your FS position and do all you can to chase him down after a 60 yard gain - at which point he spins, you crumple, and get the best seat in the house as he jogs in.

Bijan: You hope you can get a hand on him.

RoJo: You hope you can't get a hand on him.

I don't even know what "Texas has to play him" means, but it's hilarious. Like he has one leg, but is the only scholarship back, so shit, I guess we have to play him.

I wouldn't call Ricky Williams or Cedric Benson speed backs by any definition, but they're among the NCAA greats and ran all over aggy for their careers at Texas.

wtf does that even mean?

[Machinator 32,099]

For those not following recruiting, the staff is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to linebackers. We're expected to add two edge guys in the summer (Ben Davis from Alabama and Ovie Oghoufo from Notre Dame) and potentially at least one more ILB.

[Lhorn 4,913]

I think it means “Bijan Robinson is a serviceable back but is only going to get carriers until Texas can find a warm body to replace him.”  
Hillarious - coming from a program with “little man” syndrome who has spent their lives trying to convince themselves that their player is clearly better than Texas’ version when in fact they are typically 80% as good - at best.

Unfortunately, the idiot who wrote that is a Texas graduate.

I can confirm that he is an idiot because he allowed his kids to attend Baylor and Texas A&M.
