2018 Longhorns Fall Practice/Football Season Thread

[Domedriver 655]

I can not believe that none of yous are giving Heradura Reposado any respect in this Kool-aid discussion.

1) Heradura is a real Tequila and is old school 100% agave 

2) The Reposado is aged in oak barrels, rested for flavor and smoothness.

3) Its color gives the OJ a smooth Burnt color and is like an old school jersey in a 50/50 mix

4) It is fully leaded and will give you full go multi-color dreams if you drink enough

5) It would be termed a Tequila Sunrise and some sun rising is about what the fuck we need right now!

Not that I have anything against Titos, but I buy Smirrinoff handles by the case from the SM Specs for sub $15 handles.

Deadspin previewed us: https://deadspin.com/dear-texas-get-your-shit-together-signed-nobody-1828166431
It's fine. We really don't have a star player right now (come on Gary Johnson) and that's ok.

Did you read anything I just wrote?!? Anyway, if you are just joining us, no, Texas can’t make the Playoff.

 
Deadspin really knows nothing about the team..

No mention of Hager at all, has Ed Freeman being a LB this year and mentions CWIII transferred...which never happened. Deadspin indeed.

Offensive, defense battles: Tuesday was the final day for the players to wear just helmets and shoulder pads. Wednesday will be the team’s first workout in full pads. Still, the offensive and defensive linemen got a glimpse of what’s ahead during their inside drill. 

Probably the highlight of the drill was freshman tackle Keondre Coburn’s back-to-back victories over sophomore lineman Patrick Hudson. Coburn just buried him on the first play. Then, Coburn got under Hudson’s pads and simply drove him back off the line of scrimmage.

Also, it’s notable that graduate transfer Calvin Anderson was with the second-team offensive line during the early portion of offensive team drills. Offensive line coach Herb Hand is trying to get Anderson up to speed as fast as possible. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Anderson did not go through spring drills. Last Friday was his first workout at Texas.

IT 8/7 practice notes

Practice today was at the Wright Whitaker Sports Complex, or the intramural fields at 51st as most know them. The facilities were updated last year, and Tom Herman utilized the fields last preseason camp as an opportunity for the players to play in a different location and to change things up a bit.

Today the Longhorns had helmets and shoulder pads on.

OFFENSE

First string offense looked pretty similar to what it had been over the first few days. Okafor – Vahe – Shackelford – Rodriguez – Kerstetter made up the offensive line. Collin Johnson was on the boundary, Devin Duvernay at field WR, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey in the slot. Andrew Beck was the first TE in the drills, but all the TEs (Leitao, Brewer, Cummins following Beck, in that order) rotated with the first stringers. Ehlinger and Young made up the first string backfield.

Tre Watson rotated with Young at the first string RB, and Burt rotated with Duvernay at Z. Heard received reps at the slot as well.

In the open portion, the offense worked on sweeps and screens. Emphasis on proper lanes and pace for offensive linemen and running backs not getting too far outside was drilled home by position coaches Herb Hand and Stan Drayton.

The second string was led on the field by Shane Buechele, who was joined by Keaontay Ingram in the backfield. In front of him was a line of Anderson – Hudson – Kerstetter – Imade – Urquidez. Brennan Eagles was on the boundary, Davion Curtis at field WR, and Josh Moore at slot. The TEs continued to rotate, each getting a snap or two apiece working on more sweeps and screens.

D’Shawn Jamison was on offense today and rotated with Moore at the slot, while Al’vonte Woodard rotated outside with Curtis. Along with Ingram, Toneil Carter and Kirk Johnson worked with the twos at running back. It appeared as if a healthy rotation of players, more than I was accustomed to seeing in spring practice, worked their way through the first few periods of team drills.

As media was escorted out, the last thing we were able to see was Drew Mehringer and Corby Meekins working with all the receivers on goal line fades. The coaches preferred for the offensive player to make the play, but they also reinforced that if one wasn’t there to make sure the defender couldn’t come down with the ball. Curtis, Jamison, and Humphrey all made solid plays on offense. As media exited, Woodard was seen hobbling off after the drill.

DEFENSE

The front six showed little change. Hager – Nelson – Omenihu were on the line. Roach was a BLB, Johnson at Rover, and Wheeler at Mac. Kris Boyd and Davante Davis held the first corner spots. Caden Sterns worked at the boundary side safety, with Brandon Jones at field safety. PJ Locke remained at nickel.

The second unit had some youth on it, and there were a couple of pursuit drill reps where the unit had to start over due to some of the younger players not giving a level of effort the coaches were looking for.

Bimage – Graham – Wilbon composed the second line, though there were times when Graham and Wilbon got into position late and I struggled to tell who was on the nose.

Joseph Ossai worked at BLB, with Ayodele Adeoye at Rover and Jeffrey McCulloch at Mac. Anthony Cook was the boundary corner and opposite him was Kobe Boyce

Josh Thompson worked at Nickel, John Bonney at boundary safety, and Chris Brown toward the field.

The team shifted into individual drills at this point.

Jason Washington makes it pretty easy to tell what his depth chart looks like. During his individual drills, only two corners can work at a time. In order, it was Davis and Boyd, Cook and Boyce, Cuffee and Duvernay, then Green and walk-on Turner Symonds.

It's looking more and more like Texas is going to start 18 upperclassmen in its 22 starter lineup. On top of that, there are some upperclassmen who can play backing them up. McCullough, Bonney, Watson, Burt, Heard, Buechele, and Wilbon are guys in the two deep with significant starter and/or playing minutes heading into this season. 

For the first time since 2009, we cannot call Texas "young", and that's a good thing. I also recognize that there simply isn't much hype around this team either. In many of our fantasies heading into a season after the PTSD of 2010-2017, this is what we dreamed of, yet there's remarkably little discussion about these benefits ... anywhere, really. It's interesting to witness, and on some subconscious level, I understand it too.

I puked in the parking lot after the 2001 Big 12 Title Game. I was stone cold sober. That's never happened before or since. Just absolute despair as a fan boiling into nausea.

Then some gigantic Colorado broad getting into her minivan with her tiny, skinny husband and two fat kids made the mistake of screaming "hahahaha Texas sucks!" at us as we were walking by their vehicle. She made for the perfect outlet at the perfect time. I assume her husband is still trying to comfort her over the vitriol that sailed out of my mouth into her fat ears. I like to think I've grown a great deal since then.

I think there's been some hype, but it's been tuned out more around these parts due to battered fan syndrome.

The experience thing is awesome, as long the old guys give us play ranging from Poona Ford to Jason Hall caliber and not Naashon Hughes to (shudders) Tristan Nickelson caliber. The good news is that our veteran starters, for the most part, are actually good. A few reservations: I question PJ Locke's upside at the nickel; I hope Josh Thompson can win that spot. I'm not convinced Wheeler is a true three-down LB in the Big 12, and I'm very curious to see how the first half of the Maryland game shakes out at LB with him on the sideline. Big guys with foot injury history, like Andrew Beck, concern me, and I'm not sure how high his physical upside is (he should bring competence to that position, though). I don't believe that Okafor is a plus offensive tackle, should one of our starters go down and he's the next man up. I'm totally in "see it before I believe it" mode when it comes to Shack and getting his snaps right, consistently. Rowland did nothing to inspire me as a kicker last year, and I'm not sure how ready Dicker will be a true freshman.

Now, the positives: I'm usually hesistant about starting true freshman safeties, but I think Sterns is special. Our outside corner two-deep should be as good as it gets in the conference, and I'm cautiously optimistic that Davante Davis will rediscover his freshman-year form. Roach is poised to be truly weaponized in this defense. Gary is a stud. Our DEs are going to terrorize the conference. If we don't overthink the rotations, the starting WRs (all juniors) should make the QBs' jobs a lot easier, and I'm truly pumped for LJH in the slot. I'm not sure if Anderson will be truly good or just serviceable, but I'm sure glad we have him. No true freshman in the OL two-deep (unless Angilau makes a charge by the end of the season) is gruntling.

I watched that game at the home of a friend of my girlfriend, who was having a party that evening. It was an artsy wine-and-cheese crowd, I was one of two people glued to the TV. I kept it together the entire game, through all the ineptitude. When we finally stopped those fucks, finally getting the ball back to go win...and then roughed the punter...I snapped. I unleashed a string of the most vile expletives you can imagine, screaming like a madman at the top of my lungs. When I finally stopped, I looked around the room, lightheaded and dazed, shuddering from the aftershocks of my outburst, to see that everybody was staring at me in complete silence and my girlfriend was sobbing a little. I was still muttering to myself under my breath. I looked at everyone and then just left, walked right out the front door. I walked home from North Lamar area to my place on 18th and Rio Grande. I too like to think that I've grown.

When I started drinking at noon the day of that Colorado fiasco, I told a buddy the perfect storm scenario to get Texas in the National Championship game. I can't remember all the details, but one of them was Tennessee winning by 2 points (I think... I drank a lot that day, after all). So, it was all set up perfectly.  Perfectly....

 

Fuck.

Lost wanderers we have been.  

At the VY OU game I had a badder on top of my Johnson and a hose in my pocket.  I was RC-ing my Cotton-Bowl Coke a cola by squeezing my junk, and an attractive high dollar Milf sitting net to me in the under deck ask me just what I am doing.  I explain and RC her coke too...  It was a day to be alive and be there.

Then we pounded the ever living shit out of OUSUX with VY.

We used to show up and roar!  We have mor fun when we are winning.  Win now. Please.

I watched the game with a bunch of Ohio State friends who were getting into more and more of a celebratory mood as they whipped OU. Pretty sure one of the girls was hitting on me. She sensibly lost interest as I turned into a morose drunk somewhere in the 3rd quarter.

Yep, Phillip Giegar (true freshman) pulls up there on that punt rush and I'm certain we win.  I'm not blaming Phil but jeebus we were going to win that game imo, even with Simms shatting the bed and getting Benson hurt in the process.

Something's got to give with our O-line at this point. For the first time in what feels like forever, it's not young and inexperienced, even if the guys we're returning aren't all that amazing. Any uptick there will give us the biggest return in terms of wins, along with bringing our QBs back.

In retrospect the worst part of that game is that it was Shawn Fucking Watson calling their plays.   I’m pretty sure if most of us had had 13 year crystal balls we would have offed ourselves right then and there.

This is true, there were at least 2, maybe 3 games we win last year with even an average FG kicker. I remember Rowland missed 2 chipshots and a makeable distance FG in a single game, just one of those would have been enough to get us a W.

National media is as numb to our mediocrity as most Horn fans.  I thought the Deadspin article was fairly spot on.

[taybo20 2825]

Fuck the deadspin article. Duh we’ve been irrelevant for the past 8 years. We’ve also had 4 ADs, 3 head coaches and multiple coordinators go through a revolving door. We have only consistently been inconsistent. There is no real way to know what we will even be until we see this team the first few weeks. If we make a big jump it will be seen against Maryland. If not, our struggles from that game likely will be magnified later. 

The thing I hope for most is that we are healthy and at 100% strength.

Our symphony of defense, perfectly in tune and humming along to a grand rollicking finale only to be kicked in the dick in the last remaining seconds by an over zealous freshman. 

I literally excused myself from the watching  party, screamed four letter words for six minutes straight then grabbed the Hennessey and sat on the couch until I blacked out. It was not a good Sunday.

Last time I lost it completely was Ucla 2010.  I backed away from it quite a bit then, and we have been mediocre for so long that I usually don't care much about college football by the week after OU. 

This time of year still suckers me in though.
