2026 Texas Baseball
Warning CSB incoming. That 1992 team was my freshman year. I arrived at UT as a very wide eyed boy from a small town in west Texas. I was very broke but my summer work combined with a modest scholarship allowed me to get the all sports package with my tuition. It was a very modest price back in the day. I went to every sporting event I could. I fell for a girl late fall semester and come spring asked her to come to baseball games with me. We would bring our books and study during the afternoon games. She ended up falling in love with UT baseball and still loves it to this day. We are still together 34 years later.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
Holy shit, that's my nephew. His dad is an aggie and mom is an A&M professor. He's a sr in HS now and going to A&M next year. I tried to save him but it was an uphill battle to say the least.

Less vs fewer is also a real struggle around here. In a world of 1 year deals it doesn’t make sense to pay a high school recruit unless they are going to contribute as freshman. Maybe classes of 10ish should become common at the major schools. Everyone else goes to a lower tier to get playtime and increase their value for the next portal window. It also means the Barnes move make sense. Everything is about maximizing your value for the next window. Better to get tons of snaps at Wyoming than very few snaps at Texas. Quality depth is now almost impossible and injury luck will go a long way toward determining the champion.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
I’m an old, been on these boards since they were invented. Was around for “I’m stunned, I’m pissed” and long before. Obviously I don’t post much but this sooner has repeatedly acknowledged their recent futility and been humble on this thread. I’ve learned over the years that CFB can be nothing but upside for your life, even when we are losing. It can always be fun. I appreciate riding rivals hard even when they try to be nice but this isn’t even clever. Take a minute and put your degree to work so it is at least entertaining.

Moving sucks. You’ve got your shit sorted at your place, chicks are all lined up. This is the best portal strategy for players in my opinion. Threaten to leave, get a raise and stay put.

One issue that is rarely addressed here is that if you sign someone like Brown at 1.5 this early you risk having your most valuable current players threaten to jump in the portal if they aren’t adjusted based on the level you set with the new guy. That 1.5m could end up costing you 10m or more to keep everyone home and happy.

2026 Rose Bowl - Indiana vs. Alabama
I live near Pasadena and one of my best friends who went to IU texts me late last night saying the casuals and scalpers are dumping tickets because of the rain forecast. I grabbed 2 in good seats for well under $100 and went today. It was glorious. I’m all in on an IU national championship. Would be the craziest story line in cfb history.

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Anyone else hear Bobby mention this morning that Eddrick Houston got injured again last week or earlier this week? Surprised we are just now hearing about it. He didn't say anything about the severity but implied that it could impact the game.

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
Wink Martindale was brought in specifically for continuity though. The last 3 Michigan DCs have all come from the Baltimore Ravens staff: Mike Macdonald, Jesse Minter, and now Wink Martindale. We’ve dismissed most of the Michigan comps from last year and rightly so. But there is one particular similarity that does apply. Both Michigan and OSU have/had a talented but shallow defensive line combined with new a defensive coordinator. When you watch the Michigan game it is obvious that the plan was to exhaust the DL starters then pound the ball when the second string came in. I would be surprised if we don’t see a similar plan on Saturday. Especially now that Baxter can be part of the pounding. That means early on we might see more tempo and outside zone schemes to get the OSU DL running from sideline to sideline. Once they are exhausted we follow with the gap power run game.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Here’s what I think the sports talkers and retail bettors picking OSU are missing: 1. OSU is trotting out a QB that has never started a game (and taken fewer than 20 game snaps) against a defense that has perhaps the best pass rush and front 7 in the country. Defense travels. 2. OSU OL is still under construction against said defense. 3. OSU has new coordinators on both sides of the ball. An OC that got demoted and a DC hasn’t coached a defense in years and never in college. It’s the first game for both. 4. Texas has a more proven RB room. 5. Sark is a wizard on the road, home field is getting too much emphasis. 6. OSU DL is not deep. We saw how that worked out for Michigan. I don’t see Sayin getting comfortable at all and Texas will be able to run the ball much more effectively, especially later in the game once the OSU DL depth issues take hold. I still have 2010-2022 PTSD and am generally not optimistic about what I’m going to see on any particular Saturday but this matchup really seems to favor the Longhorns.

I understand that the spread makes the OSU game a neutral site pick em but can someone explain to me why we aren’t favored in this one? They are starting a guy with something like 5 plays under his belt behind a suspect OL while facing a Texas front 7 that will be putting him under constant pressure. Their DL is very similar to what we saw with Michigan last year. Great starters but not deep. Sark exhausted that group by the end of the first quarter by forcing them to run sideline to sideline then ran over the backups. Smith and Downs will have their moments but I don’t see many areas where OSU has an advantage and I’m usually on the nervous/pessimistic side. What am I missing?

Tell me about Texas Tech
I grew up in Snyder, 80 miles south of Lubbock which is really close by west Texas standards. We went to Lubbock just to see a movie, hit the mall and have fajitas at Chilis. We loved going to Tech games. Everyone I grew up with that had talent of any kind developed a deep passion to leave by the time they were in 6th grade. That place makes you hunger desperately to be somewhere else, somewhere relevant. Somewhere the wind isn’t constantly blowing. Somewhere with a tree or an interesting undulation in the earth to break up the endless flatness. It might not be true for all of them but many of these money whipped athletes are going to yearn to be elsewhere at some point. They are going to see the amazing places college football is played on their TV every Saturday and know they can have that experience. Tech might win some recruiting battles but the portal is going to be a big problem.
