Livingstone Story—forced out?
I would feel much different about this if Parker didn’t light every bridge on fire on his way out. What more money and playing time? Fair enough. But to act like Texas forced him out or treated him unfairly is a bush league move. Not wising bad things on the kid but pretty disappointing the way he had to disrespect Sark and Texas on his way out.

New Portal Entry Likely (Friday 7:34 am) | UPDATE: Wisner Enters Portal
This is kind of the way I feel. Guys like Adoni Mitchell, Andrew Mukuba and Matthew Caldwell will all seem more like Longhorns than Wisner or Lefau which feels weird.

Lagway to Portal
Looks like Lane has his QB in Baton Rouge...

Texas -v- Michigan in Citrus Bowl?
Playing Michigan or Miami is probably the best case scenario outside the playoffs. Go get a 10th win and build some confidence for 2026.

Cancel Ohio State Immediately
Not immediately. Only if we are left out on selection Sunday (which is obviously the most likely scenario) but let's give them a chance to get it right.

Lane Kiffin to LSU
It would be an ultimate Kiffin troll job to announce he’s staying after winning the egg bowl. Leave swap Aggie spinning and raging.
-
Sark to NFL Smoke…
These rumors aren’t helpful. Definitely something other programs are using against us in recruiting which could be why 2027 is so bleak right now.

Film Guy Inside Info
I put very little stock in what some random assistant coaches who take the time to call The Film Guy think about the matchup. That being said it's going to take an effort from this team we have not seen this year for four quarters to win the game. I think UGA wins but not by two scores.

Texas vs Dogs score prediction time
27-17 Georgia. I'm concerned this looks a lot like the Florida game. Trouble stopping the run which leads to the passing game having success. It will be 20-17 late but think UGA will get a final score to cover and close the game.

Jeff Traylor Question
Tech should dump McGuire and hire Traylor. They are going to be pissed when Tech loses to KSU and BYU to miss the Big 12 championship and get stomped by us in the Texas Bowl.

Lane Kiffin is a national treasure
I'm a fan of Lane. That being said, it's an almost certainty that he is going to drop a game down the stretch to a team he shouldn't. Watch out for at Miss St. or South Carolina who are desperate for an SEC win.
-
Billups arrested for gambling
That's what he has been arrested for, true. But I'm willing to bet (pun intended) that if you're that deep in with the mafia over poker there is some stuff going on with basketball too. There will be a lot more uncovered in the investigation.

Note to the board
Amen. Please don't make this into another Orangebloods

Texas-OU Prediction Thread (Free subscription)
13-16 OU sucks...but we will struggle on offense and all our points will come on defense and ST.

NCAA and betting
What an absolutely horrible decision. They do realize that the majority of pro athletes played with players still and college and for coaches still coaching college. This has disaster written all over it.

Every OU fan at work think Mateer's playing this week
I hope he does play. I don't want any excuses from the Sooners when we wax that behind. That being said, they could lose him for the season if he hits a helmet on a follow through or gets tackled wrong running the ball. If he can't run he is much less effective as a QB.

Snap Judgments: Texas bullied up front in an SEC-opening loss to Florida
It’s going to be tough to care about this team the rest of the year. They may be the 5th best team in the state.

Score Prediction
20-13 Texas

Arch's career so far at Texas
The UTEP games was by far the most concerning. It was really unexplainable. Could we have beat OSU with a above average but not great performance? Yes. But that was a really tough environment for your first road start. I hope he puts on more performances like we saw Saturday while never again seeing the lows of UTEP.

Worried about Arch.
Ha! No, Roy, because I don’t spend my time or energy “worrying” about my hobbies like watching football or 21 year old kids that aren’t mine.

Worried about Arch.
I’m starting to worry for people worried about Arch.

Thoughts on what happened to No. 1 Texas in a 14-7, season-opening loss to No. 3 Ohio State
Let’s blame Bobby since he called the loss. Let’s hope he’s not right about Florida too! 🤣
-
Minor setback for a major comeback! Texas will be fine 🙂
Always good to have an optimistic attitude in life. As terrible as we were offensively, we had a chance at the end. Hopefully build some confidence and cohesion with the offense against some directional chumps.

Do we make money playing OU in Dallas?
It's the best environment for any college football game, would be a horrible mistake to change this. Now, OU may be so poor soon that they will refuse to do it and all will be ruined but I hope that's not the case.

20+ team CFP model is under discussion
Max should be 14. Just follow the NFL. Thats what it’s becoming anyway.
