So Mt Rushmore has been decided (for the post 92 era)! Very cool. Very happy to see DJ in there. QBs get all the love, WR/DBU the highlights, but deep down I think Texas DNA is built on RB & LB. Out of curiosity where did Ehlinger, Major, Priest, J Tucker, and Michael Dickson finish? Did Gardere or Stony Clark land in top 50? Just thinking of guys who had a signature play, bowl game, or rivalry game heroes etched in our minds not necessarily best career.

What did the member poll look like? Same top 10?

I think it's really cool of him to share these insider insights with LSU fans for free, and also in the spirit of the coaching fraternity, to be showing his support for lane with a 10-2 prediction.

For the record I've got Rod B at #11!

I'll hurry, I'm trying to pick great players beyond the obvious ones. The voting will be interesting to support the Longhorn Mt Rushmore though! Hoping you'll do an honorable mention section and list everyone who got named, beyond the Top 10.

In an alternate universe, QE could have gone pro a year earlier and Arch would have needed to be ready to go (still getting the spotlight and Heisman hype). That's not a dig on Arch early last season, just saying an extra year only helped him, but the OL roster mgmt plan clearly wasn't successful in setting him up as a new starter.

I'd like confidence rather than hope for Arch Cam and Wingo in this area. Maybe RBs and 1st down success rate create a virtuous cycle that puts less pressure on these guys to convert. Otherwise, I guess we do like MLB and stop hitting singles, just swing for the fences.

In California the UC schools tend to add the campus (though Berkley is more common than UC Berkley or Cal) so UT Austin doesnt sound out of place. In the SE I've run into UT meaning Tennessee, but otherwise Texas probably comes to mind first and in my experience people just use the name by default... Michigan, Northwestern, Florida, Georgia, Washington, Arkansas, not the abbreviation, except LSU, USC, and sometimes ASU. And people can guess who A&M is and definitely know its not The University!

Tea leaves: 2 Texas games, 2 LSU games, 1 Gator game, no visit to U who sent him gloves for his birthday. Winner take all in the final game? 9/5 Clemson @ LSU 9/12 tOSU @ Texas 9/26 Ole Miss @ UF Still a race? 11/15 Texas @ LSU

Who's going to explain this to Royal?

Need to know which 2 coaches voted us #1!

Fair - and hopefully whooping up on the nupac. There can only be one State U to rule them all.

No bobcats?!

Well if he doesn't, and rides the bench to start the season, at least we have a secret weapon for the LSU game.
