Sark says they’re monitoring the Cole Huston situation. “We’ll see where it goes”

Sark and Traylor talking before Sarks presser starts.

Traylor on NIL deals for HS athletes… after a very long pause: ”Yeah…. I just don’t see how that can be good. I don’t. I’m sure I’m going to be frowned upon… I just don’t think that’s good. I’m against it, personally.”

Jeff Traylor on 5 for 5 “it’s a rule that was much needed”

ET came up again. “best range guy I’ve ever seen”

Muschamp says recruiting the state of Texas is somewhat tricky due to players receiving such great coaching in school, lifting since 7th grade. The question when recruiting the state of Texas is how much better can they potentially be when they get to UT.

Muschamp just described Earl Thomas as “one of the best I’ve ever coached” due to his instincts.

As Jeff said, we are listening to Kinne right now. He seems pretty excited about the move to the PAC.

The countdown rolls on with one of the thinner jersey numbers in Texas history, but there are still a pair of Longhorns worthy of recognition. 1. Ty Allert | Linebacker (1982–85) Allert finished his career with 287 tackles and 27 sacks, while earning All-Southwest Conference honors and Texas team MVP honors as a senior in 1985. He helped lead the Longhorns to the 1983 Southwest Conference championship, served as a team captain, and was selected in the fourth round of the 1986 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. 2. Malcolm Minnick | Defensive End (1971–73) A three-year letterman, Minnick earned first-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1973, all while helping the Longhorns capture three consecutive SWC championships from 1971–73. He was a reliable force on a defense that helped keep Texas among the nation’s elite. 48 days until kickoff. 🤘

We’re 49 days away from kickoff, so today’s countdown turns to one of the more uncommon jersey numbers in Texas football history. 1. Aaron Humphrey (LB/DE | 1996–99) Humphrey is the clear headliner for No. 49. A first-team All-Big 12 selection in 1997 and Texas’ team MVP in 1999, he finished his career with 50.5 tackles for loss and 24.5 sacks. One of the most productive pass rushers the program has seen. 2. Jack Collins Jr. (HB | 1958–61) One of Darrell Royal’s early offensive stars, Collins led Texas in rushing, receiving, total offense and all-purpose yards during the 1959 season while earning All-Southwest Conference honors. He helped the Longhorns capture conference championships and was later inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor. Current No. 49: Jake Collett The current owner of No. 49 is freshman kicker Jake Collett, from Heritage High School in Georgia.

As part of our 100 days to kickoff countdown, each day we take a look at some of the the best Longhorns to wear that corresponding number. Today we are exactly 50 days away, so here are some of the best Horns to ever wear No. 50: 1. Bobby Wuensch - Offensive Tackle A consensus All-American in 1970, two-time first-team All-SWC selection and co-captain of Texas’ 1970 national championship team. Wuensch was later inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor. 2. Bill Wyman - Center A consensus All-American in 1973, two-time first-team All-SWC selection and Lombardi Trophy finalist. Darrell Royal considered Wyman the best center he ever coached. 3. Cedric Woodard - Defensive Lineman Woodard finished his Texas career with 40 tackles for loss, including 19 during the 1999 season. He was later selected by the Baltimore Ravens and played six seasons in the NFL. 4. Tyson King - Linebacker King recorded 346 career tackles, one of the highest totals in Texas history. He led the Longhorns with 137 tackles in 1995 and was a key piece of back-to-back conference championship teams. There is not a current No. 50 on the roster. Who is your favorite?

No. 51 is one of those jersey numbers that doesn't have a long list of household names, but these three are pretty easy to separate once you dig through the history... 1. Stan Thomas (OT) Thomas was a First-Team All-American and First-Team All-SWC selection in 1990, helped lead Texas to a Southwest Conference championship and became a first-round NFL Draft pick (No. 22 overall) by the Bears. That's a résumé nobody else wearing No. 51 can match. 2. Bruce Scholtz (LB) If there's someone who can make a case against Thomas, it's Scholtz. He was a First-Team All-SWC linebacker, piled up 351 career tackles (still among the best in school history), and was a second-round NFL Draft pick. One of the most productive linebackers Texas has ever had. 3. Donald Hawkins (OT) Hawkins rounds out the list. He started 24 games at left tackle, earned Second-Team All-Big 12 honors in 2013, and went on to play in the NFL. He doesn't have the accolades of Thomas or the career production of Scholtz, but he's the clear No. 3 for me. The current No. 51 is offensive lineman John Turntine III out of North Crowley.

We’re down to 52 days until kickoff, so today’s countdown spot goes to some pretty solid names in burnt orange. Samuel Cosmi turned into one of the best offensive tackles Texas has had in recent years, earned second-team All-America honors in 2020, was first-team All-Big 12 that same season, and wound up as a second-round NFL Draft pick. He also did something you almost never see from a Texas offensive lineman: scoring a rushing touchdown. Charlie Tanner deserves some love too. He was a dependable piece of the offensive line in the late 2000s, played in 45 games with 33 starts, earned all-conference recognition, and started every game for the 2009 Big 12 championship team that played for the national title. DJ Campbell played in 50 games with 43 starts and became a steady presence up front over the last few years. He was a big part of the lines that helped Texas reach back-to-back College Football Playoffs and the 2024 SEC Championship Game. Current No. 52 is freshman defensive lineman James Johnson.

We’re 53 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 53 group is led by Bill Acker, who put together a monster career on the defensive line. Acker was a team captain in 1979, was named First-Team All-SWC and finished with 29 career sacks (still tied for fourth in Texas history). He also helped Texas win the 1977 SWC title before playing six seasons in the NFL. Duane Miller was a steady offensive lineman in the late 1980s and early 90s. He was a four-year letterman, three-year starter and part of the 1990 team that won the Southwest Conference and finished 10-2 and No. 12 nationally. Jak Holbrook rounds it out as a multi-year deep snapper who played in 39 career games and stacked up academic honors, including Campbell Trophy semifinalist, CoSIDA Academic All-District and two-time First-Team Academic All-Big 12. And the current No. 53 is redshirt freshman defensive lineman Isaiah Coleman.

Won’t affect it at all. I still expect Texas to look for an infielder.

I’m told that Texas second baseman Ethan Mendoza will return next season. Mendoza will undergo off-season surgery on his shoulder, but no timeline has been given on a return. As a junior in 2026, he started more than 60 games and put together another productive season, batting .278 with 52 runs, 14 doubles, 10 home runs, 50 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Mendoza also posted a .389 on-base percentage and .478 slugging percentage.

Phil Steele and DCTF are musts every year. The two best. I also grab Athlon as well. Only one I don’t have yet is DCTF.

We’re 54 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 54 group is led by Mike Baab, one of the best centers to come through Texas. Baab was a team captain, First-Team All-Southwest Conference, helped Texas go 10-1-1 and finish No. 2 nationally in 1981, then started in the Cotton Bowl win over Alabama. He went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL with Cleveland, New England and Kansas City. Cole Hutson also belongs in the conversation after a really solid Texas career from 2022-25. He played in 48 games with 23 starts, started at both center and guard, and was part of the 2023 Joe Moore semifinalist unit and the 2024 Joe Moore finalist offensive line. Justin Mader rounds it out as a multi-year deep snapper who played in 49 career games, earned Academic All-Big 12 honors three times and landed on the Patrick Mannelly Award watch list.

There's also a restaurant and they have a HUGE beef jerky (paging @Gerry Hamilton) selection inside of it as well (along with fudge and stuff like that).

Their website should be working, as the location in The Colony has been in business for years. Maybe they're having issues. I'd try again in a little bit.

Yeah but that Paddy takedown was so sick. lol

It's a testosterone filled sport full of violence.... Of course you're going to have some bad apples. But of all the stuff you listed all takes place in every sport. Any of those charges above I've seen happen in football, basketball, baseball over the last couple of years, so let's not act like it's a UFC-only problem. "WWE with skill" is definitely an interesting take. Of course money is the goal. It's the goal of every company on the face of the earth. WWE it is not, though.

Scheels is awesome. We spend way too much money in there.

Always! We will start one for 330 when the time comes. And lol…. My oldest “degenerate” (I think that was the word used on page 1) watched it with me. 🤷‍♂️😂

Rogan just did a great breakdown on the kick and what exactly went wrong. He’s perplexed but you can tell all three of those guys are disappointed as can be… as are all UFC fans. At least my other guys won. I went 5 of 5 tonight on ML.
