On Texas Football Forum

A place where fellow Longhorns can discuss Texas Football, Sports and Recruiting with one another and the staff of On Texas Football.

  1. The season is here! Join us for Coffee and Football at 8:10 AM. Fall practice starts TODAY, so let’s talk about it.

  2. Gerry, today you asked Bob to reflect on his boys on the sideline. Bob went on to tell not only his story but yours in a vicarious way started by your unique insight. Bravo!

  3. College football's top 25 players of the 21st century as ranked by Bill Connelly on ESPN. Just one Longhorn on the list and he's ranked a couple of spots lower than I'd rank him. # 2 will probably make you puke. # 11 played in high school near where I live (adjacent district), I was surprised to see him on the list but he did have 24 sacks and 31 total TFLs in his best college season, so yeah, I guess I can understand it. What do you guys think of the list? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40648172/ncaa-football-top-25-players-21st-century-tim-tebow-reggie-bush-cam-newton-more

  6. Texas left tackle Kelvin Banks has been added to the 2024 Outland Award Watch List. This of course was the award DL T'Vondre Sweat won in 2023 for the Longhorns. And yes, tackles count as interior linemen for the award.

    This note comes from one of the school board members at Freer High School. It is regarding the Freer Band playing at Steve McMichael’s HoF introduction. Thank you to all who participated and/or passed the word around. I firmly believe everyone who participated paid it forward some so thank you very much. ** “Good evening Bobby. I just spoke with the superintendent. Freer raised about $23K in donations from the go fund me and private donations sent to the school. The community held a bingo last night that raised over $7K. The students leave Wednesday morning. He said they’re going to buy each student some sort of souvenir and give each student so…

  9. In a season when Texas and Oklahoma will get a taste of the SEC and BYU and Utah will enjoy joint membership in the Big 12, there’s a reminder of the costs and investment going into big boy college football these days. https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/07/28/college-football-arm-race-extensive-financial-resources/

  10. A couple of questions popped in my head after Gerry’s “Talkin’ Ball” this week 1. Is Lole going to be another Catalon situation? 2. Is Hayden Conner going to be able to get enough push at the LOS in the SEC. He struggled in the Big 12.

  11. Elon Musk announced that he is moving the Tesla HQ to Austin, Texas and Texas is ready for their new neighbors.

    What facility/s can or need to be improved /updated to be more enticing to recruits? I keep hearing places like Oregon have these great facilities.... where is Texas lacking that may make a difference?

  15. Cole Cubelic had a couple of quotes from Sark on this from a radio interview that I'm going to paraphrase. Sark's first year as an NFL offensive coordinator calling plays for a QB 12 years older than him told him "I don't need all the extra just give me the play." pretty much giving a QB too much extra info. Sark gave an example of him relaying info, "It might be outside zone with certain backs in the game and just remind him stay off the tackle's outside hip or if that safety goes 2 feet left then watch for the corner to crash." Cubelic after talking to Sark about this said, he realized there are going to be some coordinators that are probably going to be …

Michael Penix Jr. won the award in 2023 and Caleb Williams won in 2022. Just the first of many preseason award watch lists to come for the Texas quarterback.
