TAMPA, Fla. — The best sign of Colin Simmons’ growth as a player, a man and a leader are his personal goals for the 2026 season. After making it known that he was aiming for Kiki DeAyala’s single-season school sack record (22.5 in 1982) heading into 2025, Simmons isn’t concerned with splattering his name all over the Texas record books. Instead, Simmons would rather put a number on the wall signifying how the Longhorns fulfilled their promise in what’s expected to be his last season on the Forty Acres. “Honestly, my individual goals are the team goals,” Simmons said at SEC Media Days in Tampa on Thursday. “It's the team's success. Winning. Winning a national cha…

Mods - is there any way we can have a Marketplace thread or board? I've seen some other posters ask for a place to buy/sell tickets. I have several pairs of size 12 Nike / Texas sneakers that I'd like to clear out, too and this would be the perfect place but obviously want to be respectful to your forum. Thanks.

TAMPA, Fla. — If book excerpts and off-the-cuff remarks have damaged the relationship between Steve Sarkisian and Ole Miss coach Pete Golding, neither coach is admitting it publicly. Golding spoke of Sarkisian only with reverence while making the rounds at SEC Media Days in Tampa on Wednesday. “I've always been a super-big fan of Steve Sarkisian. I was able to get really close to him in his time at Tuscaloosa and always had really, really admired him, even prior to that,” said Golding, who worked alongside Sarkisian on Nick Saban’s Alabama staff in 2019 and 2020. “But to see him and how he works on a daily basis and his love of the game and his rapport with his …

We’re now 44 days away from kickoff, and today’s countdown features four Longhorn defenders who made No. 44 one of the most respected jerseys on the Forty Acres. Jackson Jeffcoat | Defensive End (2010–13) Jeffcoat capped one of the best defensive careers in school history with a dominant senior season in 2013. He was a Consensus All-American, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, First-Team All-Big 12 selection and captured the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end. His 27.5 career sacks and 50.5 tackles for loss remain among the best totals in Texas history, while his 13 sacks in 2013 are tied for the fourth-most in a single season by a Longhorn.…

I’ve been itching so bad for football that I’ve began rewatching 2021 games before the season fell apart because that’s far enough back for me to not remember every sequence of the game lol. Casey Thompson against Texas Tech, TCU, and OU was a gamer. Say whatever about the competition or defenses he was doing it against but there are plenty of impressive plays and throws he made. I mean he made throws that Quinn, as much as I love him, missed repeatedly deep. Deep posts, the corner fade to Joshua Moore against OU. Strangely enough that offense with him seemed to have more consistent accuracy on the deep ball than we’ve seen since. I just think Casey was better than we giv…

“Great length, great speed, tremendous man-to-man ability. Not a secret why he was a top two or three player. We’ll see how far we can take him. We don’t have an expectation of a timetable. We’re going to coach him and develop him. I do know he’s got the right competitive spirit and skillset to be a good player for us.”

TAMPA, Fla. — Arch Manning’s goal coming out of the 2025 season and entering his second campaign as QB1 on the Forty Acres was simple. “Stay present,” Manning said while making the rounds at SEC Media Days in Tampa on Thursday. “Take it one day at a time.” For Manning, who was under a white-hot spotlight before he ever took a snap in a Texas uniform, that’s easier said than done. Still, Manning has grown while learning how to deal with life in a fishbowl ahead of what figures to be his last season with the Longhorns. He believes it’s the biggest difference between the player he is now and who Manning was before leading No. 1-ranked Texas into last season’s …

Are we able to sell our tickets to our fellow OTF members. There are several games I can't attend and others I will only need 2 of my 4. I rather sell to Texas fans for sure than risk through stubhub and have an Ohio St. or Florida fan sitting next to me.

We’re officially 45 days away from the start of the 2026 season, so today’s countdown recognizes three outstanding Longhorns who proudly wore No. 45. Bo Robinson | Defensive End (1989–92) Robinson was one of the anchors of Texas’ defensive front during the early 1990s. He earned All-Southwest Conference honors in 1992 and was part of four straight victories over Oklahoma from 1989-92. After his Longhorn career, Robinson spent time with the Houston Oilers. John Walker | Running Back (1980–83) Walker was one of Texas’ top offensive weapons during the early 1980s. He finished his career with 1,641 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns, led the Longhorns with 71…

I have become a big fan of Texas softball since Mike White became the head coach. I came across a video interview with new assistant coach Rick Fremin on YouTube. Sorry, I don’t know how to link it here. The YouTube channel is called In the Circle with Coach Pat. Search for it and listen to the interview with Rick Fremin. He seems very impressive in how he coaches and recruits.

HOUSTON — If Texas wins the national championship in 2026, Steve Sarkisian will become college football's first head coach in the College Football Playoff era to win the title while calling his team’s offensive plays. Jimbo Fisher was the last play-calling head coach to win it all, doing so at Florida State in 2013. Sarkisian, Fisher, Lincoln Riley and Ryan Day led their respective teams to the CFP semifinals in the four-team format (2014-23). Day guided Ohio State to the championship game in 2020 (the Buckeyes lost to Alabama, with Sarkisian calling the Crimson Tide’s plays en route to Nick Saban’s last national championship), making him the only play-calling head c…

TAMPA, Fla. — Jon Sumrall enters his first season at Florida knowing the caliber of quarterback his defensive staff will have to deal with when the Gators travel to Austin to face Texas and Arch Manning on Oct. 17. Sumrall got to know Archie Manning and the Manning family during his two seasons as Tulane’s coach. Sumrall recalled during his press conference at SEC media days on Wednesday that Archie Manning reached out to him to see if he’d allow Arch Manning to work out at Tulane’s football facilities while the Longhorn quarterback was spending time at home in New Orleans. “Archie would shoot me a text or a phone call and see if it's OK in May, during a little …

The large human over the ball on the Texas defense played anywhere from 385-390 a year ago at Arkansas. And played 424 snaps effectively at that weight, which is impressive. He is listed at 375 on the official Texas Longhorns roster. A source told OTF Tuesday evening that the big, big, big man continues to hover between 375-380 "depends on if he just ate" The goal for Texas is have him hover around 365-370 this season. Ian "Geffridge", as Rod Babers nicknamed him, is going to be a key and potentially crucial member of Will Muschamp's defense this season.
