Here’s my only hypothetical: 1. Ohio State (BIG) 2. Indiana 3. Georgia (SEC) 4. Virginia (ACC) 5. G5 winner 6. Oregon 7. Texas Tech (B12) 8. Texas A&M 9. Ole Miss 10. Miami 11. Notre Dame 12. Texas 1) We have to be ranked over Utah, Vandy and OU on Tuesday night for this to work. 2) Bama gets destroyed in SECCG game committee picks 9-3 Texas over 10-3 Bama 3) BYU 11-2 big loss to Tech - OUT 4) Utah, OU and Vandy get shafted.

All valid points but it’s a tough argument to win when there are so few spots available: 1. Ohio State 2. Indiana 3. Georgia 4. ACC champ 5. G5 team 6. Oregon 7. Texas Tech 8. Texas A&M 9. Ole Miss (May be effected by coaching) 10. (another G5 conference if Duke wins ACC) 11. 12. So you're basically looking at 2, maybe 3, maybe 4 spots between: Miami 10-2 Notre Dame 10-2 BYU 11-1 OU 10-2 Alabama 10-3 (if losing to Georgia, if not they're both in) Utah 10-2 Vandy 10-2 Texas 9-3

Stop lying about my predictions to try and bolster your horrible point.

I know it’s hard for you to keep track but we’re talking about deficiencies on the team not being addressed. The consequences of not addressing them in the offseason (which you repeatedly accused as pants pissing) caused us to be sitting at home holding our dicks this December and January. It’s universally recognized by all of Longhorn nation that it was a mistake. It’s okay to admit it. It’s not your fault. Say it….

That’s what you were saying all last offseason. How’d that go tough guy?

LSU is gonna be a problem in recruiting.

Not Gerry but I’d get one veteran insurance RB in the portal that buys you half the season while Cooper gets up to speed. You can’t go into Ohio State game in austin expecting a freshman to carry the load. Wisner will be a great change of pace but we need a dog who runs hard between the tackles.

The wins in Dallas and last night are better than any non natty CFP win imo. We already hit some major goals this year. The Florida loss cooked us in the CFP but now we can focus on building this roster around Arch for next year. Ohio State in Austin looms just 9 months away. Let’s fix our OL and get some serious difference makers around Arch so we’re not hitting 100+ national rankings of ineptitude on offense next season.

Give me Baugh at RB while we groom Cooper. 2-3 SEC starter quality interior OL 1-2 burner WRs who can create separation and take the top off a defense. Defer to others on our defensive needs.

Ewers was definitely asked to move on by the staff. That’s not even debated. And yeah the others would have required massive investment to keep around for a season but that sounds like what Ohio State did in keeping their 2024 squad together. It obviously paid off.

I think you’ll see a much more aggressive strategy of mitigating dead money on the roster this offseason. There were many calling for an overhaul of the RB room last year and some (myself included) questioning the plan on the OL coming out of spring. The resources to allocate are not always found in more donations but a recalibrating of the money you already have invested in the roster.

1,000 yards in 16 games is not the same as 1,000 yard rushers in the 11 game schedules of old. More importantly look at the rushing yards against Ohio State, ASU and Georgia x2 in 2024 and remind me why we decided that staying put with the same RB room and a worse / less experienced OL was going to work?

that would have included retaining the Juniors who left last season. Could you imagine this team with Ewers, Banks, Williams, and Golden?

Cool, thanks for the update.

It’s called a flip. It’s when a guy committed to an another school changes their mind and chooses your school. There are many examples of this happening over the past few years. And one of the reasons Bobby and Gerry said we were “staying on him.”

Well, that sucks.

any updates on the croots in town yesterday in the works? Thanks GH!

My prediction is he stays in Oxford and gets a solid extension and some nice NIL guarantees.

Texas at LSU next year. 👀

Love this. LFG.

We could use a little boost of momentum around here.

I was there and whole heartedly agree. One of the most fun nights ever. Post game campus Waffle House included.

He made a mistake this off season with regards to offensive personnel. Thats not debatable. Whether he admits and fixes it or not is TBD. I think Sark is a great fit for Texas and the SEC but he needs to ironically learn that the pedal is never off the gas at a place like Texas. Beat Arkie. Beat A&M. Fix the roster. But don’t leave over this one season. That would be short sighted on everyone’s part.

I would like Road One please. With a concerted effort from all involved to fix the issues on the roster. Including but not limited to: - Ripping the bandaid on mis-evaluations at RB, WR and OL - Going all in on Cam Coleman / Jadan Baugh type skill players around Arch. - Making it impossible to say no for about 3-4 nasty interior OL with experience whether they’re on current P4 rosters or they’re JUCO or they’re off some unknown Wyoming roster. Evaluate, money whip, coach them up at LG, C and RG for next year. - Defense obviously has needs as well but offense needs the most surgery.

I agree hiring an OC with similar philosophies around offense as Sark would help take some things off his plate. And I agree with all three of the issues plaguing each level of responsibility you outlined above. I disagree that an independent GM would help. That sounds like a Dallas Cowboys level recipe for disaster.
