Tell Me About Texas a&m
You think just anyone can snap the ball long? You think Kick Holding is so simple that even Left Guards could do it - if they report "eligible"?

Some forms of crazy are indistinguishable from abject stupidity.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Sometimes, as Franzese points out, it's the coach on the hook. Flopping around like a fish. Coach can just call the wrong play, bench the wrong guy, leave the wrong guy at left guard, whatever. Fugedda bout it. It's about the spread. Sometimes they fuck up and don't just fail to cover, but actually lose. People wonder WTF, how do you lose to fuckin' FLORIDA? So you bet the underdog, with spread, and the dog not only won with the spread, they won outright - you still win.

No one thought he would miss last season, either, so your company is not exclusive by any measure. Close to but not in Top Ten - again - is not going to be acceptable.

Texas O-line talk
It's NFL-LITE, It's more filling and has more taste. It also has a lot fewer players than formerly who are interested primarily - or even at all - in "an education". The myth of the "student-athlete" has been quite the joke for quite awhile, and now it's at least mostly dead. What players want is a payday, and they'll get one, for a while. As long as insurance companies, brewers, car manufacturers, and drug pushers keep paying mediots and the mediots keep paying the schools, the paydays will continue. But players will probably be shocked when schools follow the exact same $$$$-first behavior and create a portal gateway through which non- or poorly-performing players are ejected before they have a chance to defenestrate themselves. Shocked, I tell you... shocked!

You're absolutely right. Let's see if they're any better in three more years. "Indiana was a good team, but..." is faint praise for a national champion.

Texas Roster 2026
Nail. Head. That's one of my questions, which I hadn't gotten around to asking yet... Who has an "elite" DL that we fear will not be dominated by our guys? tOSU? OU? LSU? I'm not even sure we need to "dominate" them... we look to have enough offense that we'll be fine if we can break even with the lines.

Yeah, think you're right in both counts.
