    There are longstanding rumors that Chip Brown is your typical old school sports reporter. By that, I mean he's allegedly a degenerate gambler and alcoholic. There's a longstanding rumor that Chip

Okay, since the Coaching Staff thread is done, is this now the spot where we talk about the monkey?

Or, is there gonna be a Monkey Gia Attacks Austin thread?

Over/under on how many tip drills Gideon makes the safeties run through spring practice?

Over/under on how many tip drills Gideon makes the safeties run through spring practice?

The same number of tip drills I gave South Austin’s mom last night!

I had my sales conference this week and didn't open surly since Wednesday night. What a wild 48-72 hours. Fucking love this place.

Steve Sarkisian officially announced the hires of nine assistant coaches and a director of football performance on Friday, with the tenth assistant reportedly going to a FCS head coach. With his staff almost complete, Sarkisian now looks to add players to his roster with the February signing day rapidly approaching.

February 3 is when unsigned prospects can put their signatures on letters of intent, and Sarkisian told the media Friday he has eight available scholarships to work with.

“Every staff is different in what they want their roster management to look like from a specific numbers by position,” Sarkisian said. “I think the one thing we have to fight is just to fill numbers to fill numbers. We want to make sure we’re taking the best people, the best players at this point.”

Sarkisian previously told alumni and fans over Zoom that the numbers at defensive end were lower than he would have preferred. As a result, Sarkisian and defensive line coach Bo Davis added LSU graduate transfer Ray Thornton to the roster.
 
“It’s just something we felt like we needed,” Sarkisian said of the addition. “Obviously, we had an early departure for the NFL draft, we’ve had some defection from transfers, we’ve had injuries. Every position is different.”

Eight spots remain. Previous head coach Tom Herman listed what he believed the 2021class needed to add between the December signing period and the second signing day.

It’s no longer up to Herman. Sarkisian explained how he might fill those needs Friday and included any available option.

“I think for us it’ll be probably a combination of taking signees here at the beginning of February, maybe taking a guy or two or three out of the portal, and potentially even saving a spot or two for down the road,” Sarkisian said. “There are some key components to it, but it’s more about just making sure we are fitting the needs that we think are prevalent on our roster now based off of the kids we just signed in December, as well as what’s on our current roster.”

Texas currently has 18 players signed in the 2021 class, with two unsigned commits in cornerback Ishmael Ibraheem and wide receiver Keithron Lee. The Longhorns also added McNeese State transfer Darion Dunn at cornerback in December.

It will certainly be less than the number of times you fucking idiots try to make this “joke” funny. 
 

Stop trying to make fetch happen, Gretchen. 

“... we might have a tight end who hasn’t played a whole lot that fits really good to our system,” Sarkisian said.

Live look at Jared Wiley:

Probably Liebrock, he was recruited by Bama

Splitting Brewer's snaps between Liebrock and Wiley would probably be worth an extra W by itself.

So... 2? Good thing you double-bagged it or you wouldn't have made it.

Im actually cheering for Blake. This guy is living his dream coming back and coaching for Texas. He put it all out there as a player and made mistakes, but i know damn well a lot of us (including some of the surly 1%) would love to be him right now. Dude seems like he's living a pretty good life.

The SEC’s had more offense in the top 10 in the country the last two years than any other conference. They used to have outdated offenses, but they updated quickly once Bama started changing.

Watching that you would think that Herman only played Bijan in 2 games last year. Oh wait..

Couple that with firing the staff's weakest link less than ten hours onto the job and Sark isn't messing around.

JFC, that run against West Virginia (midway through the video)... spin move to leave one guy within arms length grabbing air, accelerates to outrun two other guys who run into each other and drives two other MFers faces into the dirt with stiff arms; second guy got straight up abused.   

So  many guys flashed greatness and it didn't work out.  This guy's the real deal.  Those are some eye popping highlights from a very small sample of carries.

We’ve had some all word 5 star rbs show up the last decade. But this is the first one to look like it. I want to be mad as fuck at TH criminal misuse. But our O line was shit with shit play calling he’s gonna be fresh strong and fucking shit up the next 2 years hopefully. If he continued to average 17 yards a carry. Hei5man lol

And it would have been an 80 yard TD, probably the longest run of the year, had the refs not seen him "step out of bounds".  DMO even said something like the refs messed up on that play.

I imagine Bijan and the coaching staff had an understanding about a carry count on him his freshman year (and maybe all 3 years).   If you are a stud running back, you can absolutely not allow yourself to be used up for free (more or less) in college.    Just the way it is now.   That's why you see RBs have no problem splitting carries anymore.   They are just trying to make it to the 2nd contract in the NFL before the wheels fall off.

I don't know about an understanding but Bama and Georgia running backs seem to have no problem splitting carries and seems to work pretty damn good
