Manning Family Member: “Everyone assumes Arch is on this fast track to the NFL. He wants to develop. He wants to stay in Sark’s system.”
The security and foundational strength this gives our program over the next several years can simply not be overstated. Unbelievable situation and benefit for Texas. 🤘

UT Admissions
No way I'd have gotten in with today's standards, so thank my lucky stars every day I'm old 🙂 Then they let me in again for a Masters, go figure... Only one of my 4 kids, all super smart, high achievers, high scores, AP Scholar, National Merit, etc. got in directly and graduated though, and one through the UT A transfer program, though all much better qualified than I was... the bar is really, really high... 🤘

Aggie Tears Thread
Just checking in here to see if ags think they are (re)playoff bound now that they "destroyed" a shell of a Florida team and "found" a quarterback and won their first SEC road game.... The ship has been righted! Elko>Sark! etc... 🙄 Can't wait for that game to end the season... 🤘

UGA player arrested
glass houses people... all those Lambos out there, trouble waiting to happen lol... 🙂 I know at 18 in Houston and Austin I was getting into trouble with a Toyota 😜 seriously, as we get "hotter" (if possible) as a program, more recruits than ever will want to come and it becomes harder to keep the culture fit and focus... 5*s are great, but sometimes a 4* fit is better. Evaluation and patience become premium... its the rat poison of recruiting imho... look at Florida and their downfall - I saw something where like 40% of their top recruiting class had been arrested and/or done time since the class was signed... kind find the quote, so maybe apocryphal, but its a cautionary tale... character and program fits matter. so far, we've been super fortunate, and Sark seems to be world class in this regard... but no one is immune.... and not to rant, but related in the inverse, its been super rewarding to see all the podcasts w/ former players etc. and how well both our current and former players represent Texas. The best. Hook 'em.

Tre Wisner interview with 3rd and Longhorn
It's a great podcast format and I really enjoy their discussions. Really highlights the quality of people these athletes are - esp when you contrast w/ the recent stat on UF where > 50% of their "great" teams have done time since then... I don't mind missing out on a couple of these kids in favor of culture fits at the end of the day. These guys are winning in life.

Lame schedule. 👎 one of the worst non-conference slates I can remember. what is the thought process behind it even? Just terrible.

B12 Farewell Tour...12 Championships and counting
Not a Big 12 sport, but Texas Lacrosse just won the Lone Star Alliance of the MCLA including wins over SMU and Aggie and an undefeated regular season and conference tournament and is now on a run in the national tournament as the 2 seed. Best season ever for Texas Lacrosse and a solid chance to go deep in nationals, which is coincidentally being held in Round Rock this year of all places. Go see em and support the horns trying for a natty if you can this week. 🤘 instagram: UTLacrosse and VarsityClubLacrosse for updates/scores or http://mcla.us
