2025 "Get your HOT TAKES"
We see both OSUs QBs in game one…and not because they’re comfortably ahead. Sayin will start but be pulled in the 3rd quarter to try and jumpstart the offense

About That Texas Defense… (Saturday PM)
I do think the front 7 is as talented of a front 7 as I’ve ever seen at Texas. Questions remain at DB for me but I’m definitely hopeful Taaffe and the coaches get those guys ready to play.

CBS Sports predicts Texas first loss of the season comes to…
Texas is already using Florida as motivation in the offseason. This game won’t be overlooked I guarantee it.

Reporting Day: Media availability with Texas coordinators, assistant coaches
Hope we get some nice nuggets to analyze and discuss. There’s always some players that have improved and caught the coaches’ eyes.

Davon Benjamin
I just don’t think we have enough $$ earmarked for this spot to lure him away.
-
Malakai Lee (12:15pm CST)
This would be a massive get. I like him a ton as a prospect, fantastic floor and ceiling, and hope he chooses Texas!

5-star Dia Bell wins Elite 11 MVP
This doesn’t make me any more excited…because I was already a 10/10 on my excitement meter for Mr Dia Bell! I think he is as talented as Arch! The program is in great hands. All the consternation about losing a few recruits lately and I shrug and think “we nailed our QB eval and have the best QB prospect in the nation committed. That’s a heck of a floor”

DeAndre Moore Jr. (injury)
This guy has a higher ceiling than most give him credit for. Big season loading

Hard to think about still

Hoops: Texas at Arkansas Game Thread
Hope they surprise me, but I’m expecting a relatively comfortable loss
-
Baxter injury update ?
Shocking to me that a portal RB doesn’t seem to be a priority. Fingers crossed!

Hoops: Texas at LSU Game Thread
Going to have to tip my hat to Terry and the staff as well as the players. I wrote them off but they’ve proven more resilient than I anticipated. We look like a tourney team now, let’s hope they make it!

Worries about speed at receiver next year.
Per Inside Texas Livingstone is doing very well behind the scenes and was close to breaking through to playing on the field this season. They also report that he is super fast. Manning has a legit connection with Wingo and Moore. You could see it when he played. Most his second team reps were with Wingo back in the spring and summer and it showed. I think both those guys have good years, and Wingo has a monster season

Worries about speed at receiver next year.
Add to that, everything I’ve read has said that Livingstone has legit, legit speed. Butler is also quick twitched. Freshman…we shall see. Wingo is far, far from slow. That’s a big, fast dude

Where members of the No. 1 Texas signing landed in the final 2025 rankings from 247Sports and ESPN
Dang impressive. Cant wait to watch these guys play. Are you high on any of our prospects outside the top 300?

Steve Sarkisian Postgame Press Conference (Cotton Bowl)
Bad play call plain and simple. I’m ok with a toss sweep if it’s a misdirection play or even to the wide side with Blue. That play was doomed from the start

Sark Avoids Short Passes Over Middle
Seems obvious. Let’s hope they do it. I’d love to see more slants and crossers and digs

A few notes on Clemson (Monday 7:30am CST)
We play our A or B game we win. We need to focus on our execution, cleaning up the penalties, playing with good awareness of game context, etc and we win this game by 10+.

I gotta nitpick you Bobby and Gerry
Two possibilities: 1) Quinn’s injury led to him playing poorly against OU, Georgia, and Vandy (due to physical and mental components) 2) The first 3 games were fake news and Quinn actually hadn’t improved, as evidenced by the OU, Georgia, and Vandy games. I know which one seems more plausible to my eyes.

Georgia Game Predictions
38-24 has been my prediction all week and I’m sticking to it. Furthermore I think it’ll be 38-17 and they get a garbage time TD to make themselves feel better
-
Oklahoma Game Score Predictions
Texas 38 Other team 24 Hawkins proves to be a thorn in our side until figure him out. They grab early momentum but our quality takes over in the second half.

Tuesday Player Availability | Malik Muhammad, Vernon Broughton & Hayden Conner
Interesting comment about getting the DL straight. Assume he means they finally got the EDGE component down. Very interesting comment
-
Who will be the Suprise this year?
Semantics, but I think Cam is supposed to be a very good. I like Juan Davis to surprise as well. And give me DeAndre Moore too on offense.

Initial Reaction from Recruits of Texas' First Spring Scrimmage
Loved those quotes! Man some of the best I’ve heard from recruits watching a practice. Seems that everyone was locked in, recruits included
