While I wholeheartedly disagree with the OP’s assertion that this season was “a waste” it was disappointing at several levels. However, I am proud at how the team battled back from adversity and ended the regular season on a high note. The future is bright and I am looking forward to whatever bowl we wind up playing.

I understand what you are saying but the number of incoming freshmen who are college ready on day one is probably one or two a year per class. The number of OL is one every few years. Congrats to him and his family. It is and should a very special day for him.

I am not sure what coach our “fans” think is going to come in and meet all the expectations of all the “fans”? Does Sark need to continue to grow and adapt to the changing landscape of college football? Yes, of course. I think he will. The question is will whatever Sark does satisfy all the “fans” ? Of course it will not. But remember that Sark is not going anywhere next season. Continue to voice your concerns but remember what the program was when he came onboard.

I have no idea what was going through his mind when he pulled the trigger. To the world he looked a man who had it all, but obviously that was not the case. We all have “demons” we deal with daily. The lucky ones, myself included, have a support system of God, family, and friends. I have lost two cousins to suicide and “no one saw it coming”. We all need to reach out and tell our friends and family we love them and there is help. RIP Marshawn.

Really? Apparently, one of the best OL coaches in college football doesn’t have your expertise in this area.

I was thinking he reminds me of Wilt from early in his career. Watch Wilt on YouTube and you will see what I mean. Wilt was more nimble and moved like a small forward and had a better all around game but Wemby looks like the real deal.

I think he is the best player in baseball. However, I need to see several more seasons at this high level of play before he will be the GOAT in baseball, much less in all pro sports. Babe Ruth is IMO the GOAT in baseball.

By the time the next RRR starts it will be almost 1100 days since OU has scored a TD against UT.

I was not at the game so this is not a picture I took. I took this off my TV but I love the look.

The same publications, websites, and pundits who proclaimed him the Heisman favorite, and future #1 pick are now tearing him down because Arch did not live up to their unrealistic projections. Just as Gerry has said.

Maybe this will provide some incentive for the team, an us versus the world attitude.

I am sure you will find people who actually know and understand football will disagree with you.

Not my intention at all. In this century the 2000-2008 years were dominated by Applewhite, Simms, VY, and Colt. Since then, till Quinn, there have been a succession of less than stellar QB play. Some was due to injury (David Ash) and some was due to poor choices on whom to offer that were made by our coaching staff. I believe Quinn will be more fondly remembered in the years to come than he is now.

I am sure this was said in jest, and I get that. However, from the time Colt graduated till Quinn started his first game, I cannot think of a QB I would take over Quinn. Sam would be the closest but I would still go with Quinn.

Thanks for the fantastic info. I look forward to updates throughout the year, both here and on the YouTube channel.

I, for one, am not going to sour on Arch (as I have seen many do nationally and locally) after one poor game. We have all seen the talent on display. We saw a few flashes of it yesterday. Our Oline will continue to improve, our RBs will only get stronger, and our WRs (while apparently lacking a true game changer like OSU or Alabama has) have more than enough size and speed to concern 99% of DCs in America. I believe we will see considerable improvement over the next 4-5 games.

I already have the mug and the white cap. I am expecting my new orange cap to be delivered today.

Good luck to him. Hopefully this is the start of a path to the NFL.

Not arguing with your statement but I would reword it. Florida athletes, according to Gerry, do not come out of HS as finished a product as players from Texas or Georgia. This is due to no athletic period, few full time coaches, lesser facilities, playing on more grass fields, and just a general less if an emphasis placed upon HS football in that state.

I, like many on this board, have been a member (or at least followed them for a period) of all of the major UT recruiting sites. I have read or seen on YouTube or elsewhere all he major players from our own Bobby and Gerry to Ketch, Chip, Eric Nahlin, TSU, etc. and I sincerely believe that OTF covers UT sports as well as or better than all the rest. There are pluses and minuses to all the sites but OTF has far more pluses than all the others.

IMO, Leaks is the best. Here is a game from 1973 in which he rushed for over 190 yards and two TDs. The quality is poor at times and there is only background music added since it is a coach’s film.

I am not sure how the OTF mods would feel about others posting their premium content on other platforms so I am reluctant to mention names. However, there are really only two other Longhorn websites. OTF, especially its video content, is far superior to either IT and OB. That particular nugget came from the latter.

Another website, whose name shall not be mentioned, has reported that Lacey has overtaken Owens as backup QB. Now the staff wants to preserve Lacey’s redshirt and give him some playing time this year but not burn his redshirt. The transfer QB was brought in to a more viable option than Owens in case of injury. According to the mod who made that comment the problem is Owens’ lack of commitment to his craft and that it is hoped that the transfer will push Owens to work harder. My question is, have any of OTF’s mods heard the same info?

At one time I was on OTF, IT, and OB at the same time. While I enjoyed the content on IT, I did not enjoy their YouTube content and it seemed redundant. I have been with OB since 2004. Their YouTube content is nearly unwatchable, though they do have some good content on the website. The biggest problem with the OB site is not the writers or even some of the weird threads that always pop up. It is mainly the posters who can be complete and utter asses. For example, a poster asks a serious question and a dozen or more others will respond with childish stupid responses because they think they are funny. OTF is the best in the business, especially their video content. We are all lucky to have Bobby, Gerry, and the entire team on OTF.

Earl was the greatest RB in UT history.
