Branch was my top WR out of high school.  Bust?  I'd like him in Austin if not.  

There are serious pros and cons to the Branch duo. For the WR, he’s a one trick pony but has elite quicks and is great in the return game. Seems like someone Sarkisian would figure out pretty quickly how to use. The safety is jaggy but if he’s not expecting to start, he wouldn’t be dead weight on the roster. He could contribute on special teams. 

Anyone worrying about WR being expensive, any one of the really good ones is going to cost you.

 Williams isn't transferring

We do have his favorite QB on campus (or will be shortly) for what that is worth.  Lot of players jumping off SS Doboer right now, so we'll see.  QB situation at Bama is looking bleak until the D'ville kid gets up and running.  I imagine Bama will land a transfer QB, but they may be looking at a steep drop off.

Not sure if already posted, but we'll be playing against none other than Malik Murphy at Kentucky next season.

Good — Kentucky’s freshman QB looked like he’d be a problem. MM won’t be able to escape pressure or make plays outside the pocket.

Those Double Eagle guys must have dropped a hell of an NIL bag

My nephew works for the Tech football program as a student. Toured the new complex this past weekend. I can assure you no one has what they built short of Oregon and a couple others. Cody Campbell has made it his mission to sign DL and OLs this go round. I’m not surprised Sydir went back in the portal. They’ll target him too w a fat pay day  Fulfilling Joey’s mantra….”big mass kicks ass”

While he certainly might, a review of Twitter doesn't show anyone but trolls and randos actually reporting his commitment.

Too bad it's all in Lubbock and Joey's getting fired in a season or two.

I'm sure Joey and the Double Eagle bros have convinced themselves they must push all the chips in. A joke of a non-conference schedule next year while avoiding four teams that finished in front of them in the standings this year. All that means probably means another 8-4/7-5 season loading.

Well hell I fell for it. Thanks for the heads up.  Thankfully we are not playing him, I dont like seeing former Horns do well against us.

Except she didn't actually get decapitated.  A New Orleans newspaper printed some accident scene photos, one of which showed her wig tangled up in the broken windshield, so the rumor mill ran amok.

As usual, Cafe Society drops some knowledge though the car did slide under the big truck it was following and the top of the vehicle was pretty well sheared off. That led to the creation of the “Mansfield Bar” on trucks, that low hanging sturdy steel frame that’s designed to keep similar crashes from happening.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, “Texas Tech is the program of tomorrow, and it always will be”.

It’s all about the next wave of realignment and finding a home in the two super conferences that are ultimately inevitable. They have to win now and find lightning in a bottle to shine for the next invitational. Same reason UNC hired Belichick. They want in the Big 10.

This is correct. They also thought it was part of her scalp and finally determined it was the wig.

That’s an interesting premise, but even if they manage to SMU their way to the top 10, … how are they going to get the attendance and TV ratings that are the true differentiators?

At least UNC is another Public Ivy for the B1G and maybe the top basketball brand in the US, along with serviceable football. Tech is.... Tech.

This could be a huge pickup for Tech. They might be able to finish in the top 6 of the Big 12 or even beat Abilene Christian by more than 1 point at home if they land him.

Branch feels like a more expensive Silas Bolden. If you're gonna shell out money for a WR go with one of Eric Singleton, Alic Ayomanor, Omar Cooper, or even Kevin Concepcion.
