I’ll take the blame for the lack of a game thread. I got tied up with something for YouTube channel and then was on the livestream with Bobby and CJ. As of now, I’m still trying to find time to watch the game, which will be my punishment for not putting up the thread.

Venables needs all the help he can get since his offense has scored as many touchdowns as I have against Texas the last two years.

Your question was valid, Osas. Regardless of the muck, I, for one, appreciate any feedback meant to enhance the user experience. Whenever I’ve worked with Bobby and Gerry in the past, we’ve always tried to listen to our members. We might not be able to make something happen, but the suggestion box is always open.

I’m backing a co-worker who works his tail off because I saw someone hurl an unprovoked insult at him on a message board in which he didn’t participate. You went to Texas and I didn’t. That’s a fact I can’t deny. I’m not sure what my education has to do with anything, but no, I didn’t graduate from Texas. But it doesn’t give the right to be a jerk on the message board when nobody in this thread brought up the topic of Henry Kissinger until you did for the purpose of insulting a staff member. You didn’t just insult him. You doubled down when there was no need to do so. I’m done discussing it. Again, if you have an issue with Matt, take it up with and don’t take it public. I will stand up for my team members when I feel they’re being unjustly insulted. It shouldn’t take a master’s degree from Texas to understand how to act like a grown up on a public forum.

Holding a master’s degree from anywhere doesn’t allow a free pass to hurl insults at people. If your problem is with Matthew, take it up with him directly.

You’re correct. The expectation of civility applies to everyone who uses the message board.

Any further posts in this thread that don’t directly address site content, something topical to Texas athletics or are legitimate questions/concerns for the OTF staff will be deleted.

You’re entitled to your opinion, and there’s never going to be a consensus on members here who like/value/respect every single staff member. However, such talk toward Producer Matt is something I won’t tolerate. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have the channel that we do and the content we produce wouldn’t be produced. Again, you can feel however you choose, but I won’t stand for an important piece of the puzzle at OTF to be spoken of on our platform in the way you did.

That’s one of the things I liked about him most in 2024. If there was an opportunity to throw hands, he didn’t miss it!

The special teams bonanza continues for the Texas Longhorns! Florida State punter Mac Chiumento has committed to Texas. He made the announcement with a post on his Instagram account. Chiumento was the Seminoles‘ 2025 Special Teams MVP. He averaged 44 yards per punt on 27 punts, with six of 50 or more yards, 13 downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line and one touchback.

Lance St. Louis is one of those losses you don’t think about because the snapping situation has been out of sight, out of mind since he took over.

He recently came off IR and is getting snaps at right tackle for the Eagles against Washington today. Congrats to the Lifetime Longhorn for making his NFL debut!

McMahon got a good look at a three to tie it, but it hits the side of the rim. Texas hangs on for a 67-64 win. The Longhorns are 17-0 overall and 2-0 in the SEC.

0.2 seconds put back on the clock.

Rori missed both. Ole Miss ball with 0.5 seconds left.

Texas got the ball in and Rori heads to the line with one second left.

McMahon missed both free throws. Lee boards it and is fouled with 1.7 seconds to go.

Consecutive possessions with misses. Texas is up by three, 67-64, with 4.9 seconds left. Booker called for a foul in a block/charge situation.

I did it on the livestream the night before the bowl game.

I wish people knew and/or could see how much Rod works on his craft to give the masses the best possible information. He’s the real deal as a friend/teammate/colleague.

Judd’s three-point play puts Texas up seven, 67-60, with 1:36 to go.

Three possessions in a row with three massive half-court buckets for Texas. This time, it’s Judd.

Ole Miss is tough to put away. That’s a really good team.

@AZ Longhorn, thanks for giving us a shot and, yes, we take hardball seriously around here! I try to be at as many games and press conferences as possible during the season. Plus, when the season starts, Blake, CJ and I will restart our “On Texas Baseball” weekly show.

It sounds like Texas has put itself in a good position with Florida EDGE Jayden Woods. I’m told Woods’ top options currently appear to be either Texas or Oregon if he transfers or a return to Florida (the Gators aren’t giving up).
