Texas Mens and Women's golf coverage por favor. Our men's team is ridiculous this year and we're competing in the regional right now.

OU’s New AD
Without collective bargaining, any "enforceable cap" or rules structure seems like pure delusion in my opinion. How can an organization designate with any level of certainty what the market for a player is. If team A has he resources and wants to pay player A $X.XX and the other school cannot afford it, seems pretty clear that the market value has been determined. I still think the way the two mega conference structure that we are approaching will need to operate the way the MLB does. I.E. luxury taxes on overspending. Would I love to have a brand new F250? Yeah, but I cannot afford it. Does not mean that my neighbor should have to live by the same rules.

@Gerry Hamilton, wanted to ask if you thought there was any chance of the Indiana cheating rumors being true? Seems like you jokingly hinted at it in C&F this morning when you mentioned they "always seem to be in the right call, great job from the scouting department". Would be hysterical imo.

For sure, in this new era of CFB we'll see more and more of this happen unfortunately.

Is what it is. Think they told him he has a place if he'd take a pay cut. If we wanted to keep a bigger pack from last year I would've preferred Gibson.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want @Gerry Hamilton on this thread-- you need @Gerry Hamilton on this thread!

It's pretty funny honestly. Sign some grad transfer O-lineman from the Midwest or the Dakotas and call it a day.- Portal of Possibilities
- Texas' future offensive identity
We can agree to disagree. Based on the definition by our mutual friend, I'd argue what we saw is a textbook case.- Texas' future offensive identity
Tiger Woods has had them, pitchers/catchers have had them, even Bryce Young had them this year and had to be benched. Unless we have different definitions of what the Yips are, think it's safe to say Archie had them at the start of the year. We witnessed him throw balls into the dirt on basic crossing routes, not to mention the wild overthrows on screens.- Texas' future offensive identity
Arch had them early on. Not even up for debate and it was not overblown. Sark wants the offense to be like Georgia's this year, 12-13 personnel, heavy play action. Sark needed it to be like 09 Texas, saw some pivot to that later in the season but could've come sooner IMO.- Coaching Carosel : Tin Foil Hat Time
Would hope it's not Sarkey-Sark and the funky bunch. Our guy was hanging with Saban and co. at the college football hall of fame induction.- Coaching Carosel : Tin Foil Hat Time
Morgan Scalley hired by Utah. And to Kyle Whittingham, rest now brother, we have the watch, and I'll see you in Valhalla.- Coaching Carosel : Tin Foil Hat Time
Fellas (and ladies), Hope everyone is having a great Saturday and is gearing up for the holiday stretch. Today, the foil is extra shiny. We’re talking full-on mad scientist board, red string, pushpins, and caffeine-induced paranoia. The Things We Know Michigan is hunting for a head coach. Top-10 job, prime chaos generator. Marcus Freeman is whispered to the Giants (Dianna Russini, morning intel). Kenny Dillingham looks ready to extend at Arizona State. All else? Spooky whispers floating around, which brings up the next section. Rumor Fog: The Wild Stuff Kalen DeBoer may bolt Alabama for Michigan. If he does, Alabama’s immediate reaction: call Sarkisian, revive Kiffin, maybe ring up a few random NFL coordinators just for drama. Lane Kiffin could, in a fit of déjà vu, leave LSU mid-season for Alabama, leaving a wake of destroyed recruiting pipelines and enraged boosters. Lincoln Riley may contemplate the Big 12, USC, or for all we know try and smoke another brisket but there does seem to be trouble in paradise. (sans #1 recruiting class) Sark rumors to the NFL? Pfft. Put to rest… for now. The Red String Matrix Michigan pulls the first domino: DeBoer to Michigan: Alabama freaks out. Sark is called. Texas updates its spreadsheets. Kiffin seriously considers leaving LSU again, maybe texting a GIF about it. Ole Miss sends a voodoo doll via private jet to LSU. Just kidding. Maybe. OR Michigan grabs an NFL coach: Entire college world sighs in relief. Except the Big Ten, which starts betting pools. Another Power 4 coach: Mid-tier universities suddenly panic and sign whoever will pick up the phone at 2 a.m. I'd think hat a coach like Lanning may take a call. Would introduce some real deal ramifications. (Not even mentioning the fact that ND could open too) IF DeBoer to Michigan Happens? Every call, every agent, every rumor multiplies exponentially. (Including Sarkisian). If DeBoer stays, everyone loses leverage and the SEC suddenly seems boring. (pertaining to coaching chaos) USC / Riley Variable: Riley ponders the cosmos, maybe picks USC, maybe calls Mars for advice. Big 12 hypothetical chaos ensues if he entertains the idea. (He always seemed like more of the type to bully lesser talent) Sure looks like Utah may be searching for a coach if Whittingham cannot get his assistant promoted. NFL Static: Freeman to Giants. Notre Dame quietly develops a new panic plan. (Where the Fhit hits the san) Sark to NFL. Not this year, filed under “future spice.”- Texas Vegas Odds To Make CFP Continue To Change

That thread on Surly 🤣- Steve Sarkisian on his future at Texas: 'I’m not going anywhere'
Disagree. I've seen your username on other boards. We are near the top in engagement and fear mongering.- Steve Sarkisian on his future at Texas: 'I’m not going anywhere'
I'm not saying shift expectations, but once they aren't met for the first time in three years does that mean burn it all down and start over in your opinion? I would say no, but I'd also agree with you that we've underachieved. It's okay to say it. Your rhetoric isn't really pointing towards any solutions besides firing a staff, and even if that transpires what would you want to happen? The standard is the standard but it's not happening this year.- Steve Sarkisian on his future at Texas: 'I’m not going anywhere'
Who would've thought people on X/other boards spouting nonsense would have a negative on recruiting and team cohesion? Lot of longhorn fans have illusory superiority (me included) when discussing our team. Pretty wild stuff getting thrown around willy nilly as if we are omniscient, not to say some criticisms are not warranted, but the outcry reeks of a spoiled fanbase. Remember when Xavier Worthy posted his draft video and had a collection of negative tweets flash in a compilation, I'm sure @Joe Zura does 😉, including some of these people propagating nasty rumors. Things will work themselves out or they won't, no point in dwelling in this fantastical uncertainty. I'm hoping this fanbase will start taking the serenity prayer to heart. - Portal of Possibilities
