Longhorns Baseball Preview with Drew Bishop
Great stuff guys! Drew was great. Got me even more pumped. I thought it was interesting what he said about Shaw. That’s encouraging. Last year you could tell Coach Pierce thought highly of him because he kept sending him in the game in big moments. Ready to see Red step it up a couple of notches. Also interesting he said Tommy Farmer might be the most athletic player on the team. That’s good news for sure. Im a big fan of Tulo and just excited to see the impact of his presence. Hopefully by conference play the defense will be buttoned up. Texas always had a solid d when Tulo was on staff in the past.

Chip Kelly Expected to Take Ohio State OC Job
That would be awesome. Not sure if the timing will work though. Not saying it’s not possible but it’s really late for a student to enroll at Texas this semester.

Chip Kelly Expected to Take Ohio State OC Job
I don’t think Nansen would do that to Sark nor do I think it’s a job worth taking. Just seems like there are issues there for Kelly to do that.

Friday: The Recruit Who Played Six Varsity Sports
I’m not sure what’s more surprising that he played six sports or that Freer had tennis as a sport.

Texas EDGE commit Lance Jackson talks Longhorns and baseball
I don’t blame the kid for leaning round ball. For the most part he will have less pain when he’s older and probably have more money if he can throw 97 into the mit.

Way-Too-Early 2024 SEC Rankings (Feb. 9)
Interesting. I would almost flip Kentucky and OU but that’s more the Longhorn in me coming out. 😂 Alabama will be fine. Maybe not by their fan’s standards but I’m not ready to keep them out of the SEC race. They do have a heisman contender at QB. I personally don’t think Freeze will make it. Talent isn’t their issue. But I believe Auburn will be a team that can beat the brakes off teams that aren’t prepared. I still have concerns about our schedule. Regardless whether OU and ATM will be ranked those games won’t be easy. They rarely are. Michigan will be tough especially since Wink Martindale likes to blitz every snap. Arkansas in Fayetteville won’t be easy and of course Kentucky has a really good team and a solid coach even though he is a Stoops. I think 10 wins in regular season would be awesome!

Texas EDGE commit Lance Jackson talks Longhorns and baseball
Love it! Interesting he mentioned a couple of times about being fake vs real. That to me shows he has good character.

Friday Morning Recruiting Nuggets (7:40 a.m. CST)
I’m a fan of kids like Surrat that are 2 star athletes. I am impressed with that 65. I shot a 65 once but it was a 9 hole course. 🤦♂️

Coffee & Football: Friday 02/09
Looking forward to hearing Brooks. I have a question for Brooks if you get a chance. What pitcher do you see making the most impact aside from the assumed starting rotation of Witt, LBJ and Hurley?

Texas Alum Headed to the HoF!
Thanks Bobby that is one of those names well known in Longhorn history. McMichael’s is mentioned in Django Walkers song Texas Longhorn. 🤘

Lance Jackson Update (Feb. 8, 1:17pm)
95 on the gun as a junior 😳. Coach Pierce may want to battle for this kid. That’s impressive!!

Super Bowl thread: Chiefs or 49ers?
I don’t think Shanahan will make the same mistake John Harbaugh did and not try to run on the Chiefs. I believe niners will have a decent run game. BUT- no way I’m betting against Reid and Mahomes. As a Cowboys fan I’ll be rooting for the Chiefs.

Steve Sarkisian's NSD Press Conference Takeaways
I’m biased but I think we have the best head coach in college football.

Grading the Class (Using The Pipeline Methodology)
Well done Bobby! I like the way you laid this out. It’s obviously hard to predict how kids pan out at the college level. There’s a ton of distractions and new things to get used to. I think the culture that Sark and staff has built in terms of emphasis on enrolling early, being laser focused and putting in hard work helps instill that mindset early on in the players and, as a result helps minimizes the “misses”. The relatively low number of transfers out of the program I think shows Sark and staff are hitting at a pretty high rate.

Coffee & Football: Wednesday 02/07
Is there a secret to getting the livestream to start at the beginning? Often when I’m tuned in waiting for y’all to start when I first see the livestream Blake is already talking, or at times Blake has already finished with his into and Bobby or someone else is talking. I even have hit the refresh button repeatedly and it still doesn’t help. I usually watch from my computer but I’ve noticed the same issue in my I phone. I’d say only 1 out of 10 times does it start by showing the number count down which I see when I go back and watch the livestream afterwards.

Michigan DL Coach Headed to NFL
Texas really needs one of those DT’s.

In The Pipeline | WR & TE
I hope those guys can gel fast and get on the same page with Quinn. They are seasoned veterans so that should help.

That was a fun night! I’ve never seen DKR as electric as it was that night.

In the Pipeline | QB & RB
Stacked RB room no doubt. If I was being picky I would love to see a back in that room similar to Duece Vaughn. Short enough (5’ 5” or so) to literally hide behind the line of scrimmage but stout enough to tolerate the position. This type of back doesn’t seem to be what Sark looks for.

2025 DL to Visit in March (7:14 a.m. CST)
I think Sharma could be excellent!

Jasper High TE Kiotti Armstrong talks Texas (Sunday 11:03am CST)
Looks a lot like Sanders after the ball is snapped.

Sunday: Squaring Expectations
I think Texas will be good on offense next season but will experience some learning curves on both sides of the ball. Even though experience exists with the receivers there’s little chemistry between them and Quinn. That, in my opinion will need to happen before they can come out hitting on all cylinders. Defense is similar with new faces but hopefully can pull it together by the time conference starts. I think they have a tougher schedule than last year too. Michigan, OU, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas and ATM could all be tough games.

Saturday: A New World Order
Going to be interesting how it unfolds. Just thinking about football is only part of the solution. Throw in all other collegiate athletics and that complicates things a lot.
