I'll be on the SWA one heading out at 9:45 tonight. Anyone else on the flight with me, if you use the password (you know what it is), I'll buy you a drink. 

We are on the same flight tonight.

That's a weird way of saying that Vandy is the only SEC school with a winning record against Texas.

I didn’t expect an inverted horns from Vandy. Did Rice do horns down? I don’t remember, and Vandy is the equivalent of Rice in SWC.

Everyone does it now that it's become a meme.

I was wearing a Longhorns cap while I was in St Louis on a work trip about this time last year. Went out in the Ballpark District one night and some fresh out of college drunk kid throws me the horns down. I give a little chuckle and ask where he went to school. "Michigan St" "Ok.... Then why are you throwing me horns down? Why do you even care?" "Uh, isn't that just what everyone does now?"

Is Xavier Filsame hurt?  Surprising nothings been heard about him with all the injuries at safety, considering he was one of our highest ranking recruits.

Amazingly, you can watch film from the last Texas/Vanderbilt game from 1928.  The game was played at Fair Park Stadium in Dallas and Texas lost.  The next year, Texas started a new streak of annual games in Dallas against Oklahoma, which continues until this day.  OU and Texas had played six times before in Dallas, but not every year.

Here's the video, such as it is:

He didn't enroll early and JJR did.

This feels a lot like MSU game earlier with more run emphasis by Vandy. 
 

Texas should assume on side kick, always going on 4th down, flea flickers etc etc

Have to be disciplined in gap assignments/coverage on defense.

Damn. One guy on the white helmet team (Texas?) is playing without a helmet.

Really interesting that helmets seem to be optional.

Team notes from IT

Spoiler

***We’ve been asked about RB Jerrick Gibson a lot. Why isn’t he playing more? It’s purely coaches’ decision. It’s pass-pro. He’s healthy. 

***Intel leads IT to believe Michael Kern will be the featured punter this week. He had a good week. 

***We already posted Ryan Wingo will start. IT bets Parker Livingstone will travel for this one. Isaiah Bond, like Andrew Mukuba, will take advantage of the bye week.

***We feel great about Andrew Mukuba returning for the Florida game. Per the comment above. 

***I hate attaching my name to what’s supposed to happen so it’s hard to opine on how Quinn Ewers will play. That’s what it boils down to, I’m supposed to say how he will play. It doesn’t matter how he actually practices, it matters how he plays in front of everyone. He’ll play his best game in three weeks based on practice. I think. We’ll see. 

***A few Texas players had bad games to the naked eye last week that were even worse under microscope. The coaches think they’ve fixed some ‘tells’ and fundamental miscues. We’ll get into this at a different time. There were some bad player breakdowns last week that are believed to be fixed.

***Defensively, there’s a lot of confidence each man will do his job. The D had a good week of practice. GOOD WEEK. That means they’ll probably lose eyes while the coaching staff punches furiously into their Commodore 64 tablet to show them what they’re doing wrong. But seriously, defense seems prepared. 

***Special teams game? Sark said he felt the ST’s units were rounding into form. A source felt the same way and is optimistic this week. I think we’ll see a big play. 

***I was asked on IT who would start between Liona Lefau and David Gbenda. Info points to Lefau but both had good weeks and are good players. Probably Lefau, though. 

***IT also heard both Trey Moore and Colin Simmons looked good squeezing the run this week. 

***Wouldn’t be surprised by another Gunnar Helm game.

 I'm happy to hear that Quinn is looking better in practice but it implying that he'll play his "best game in three weeks" isn't saying a whole hell of a lot (and I understand that IT isn't trying to predict anything)

Thanks for posting that.  It almost looks like what a pickup game at the Surly tailgate would look like today.

Announcers:  Saturday on the SEC Network,  Tom Hart will handle play-by-play for the game, while Cole Cubelic will be the the analyst and Alyssa Lang reporting from the sidelines.

Hart has been with ESPN 12 years, before that he did work for Comcast, CBS Sports, Fox Sports and the Atlanta Braves. Cubelic played for the Auburn Tigers from 1996 to 2001. He joined ESPN in 2011. Lang joined the SEC Network in 2018 as a studio show anchor and host.

IT calling this a bye game is bullshit. 

It was shitty writing, but I think you misunderstood. We have a bye next week. They mean they'll take advantage of missing this week and next to heal up for Florida. Hence why they say Wingo will start, they bet Livingstone will travel, and Mukuba should return for Florida. That likely means Bond doesn't play/travel either.

Texas defense needs contain Diego Saturday🤘

 

Vandy getting several players back for Texas:

Several Vanderbilt football starters were listed as questionable on the team's availability report published Wednesday night ahead of a matchup with Texas. However, those players were all upgraded to probable by Thursday.

Langston Patterson and Miles Capers, each of whom missed the game against Ball State, were among them. So are Eli Stowers, AJ Newberry, Martel Hight, Sedrick Alexander and Linus Zunk. It is not known what injuries any of those players are dealing with.

A later addition to the report was Kolbey Taylor, who is questionable with a back injury, according to Clark Lea.

Zaylin Wood remains out after suffering an injury against Georgia State in September.

That's pretty impressive that Arch Manning already has a college football award named after him.

Well the bye is next week so I believe what they are saying is they expect them to miss this week and they get the bye week as well to get healthy.

We cannot let this team K State us.  Tackling better be on point. 

Hope Sark figured out the slow starts

30 miles south of Nashville, had business in muscle Shoals yesterday. Looking forward to my first trip to Nashville.  if anybody’s at the JW Marriott, holla. . We have about 10 or 12 Exes in our group.  

In the midst of some post-Georgia clip, I heard a UGa player say that they had studied our tells and basically knew where every call was going.

Kirby wouldn't pass that along to Lea, would he?

It's pretty much openly said in the IT article from today. The coaches noticed it and worked on it this week.

Don't we pay someone like Faterson to self scout?

It's almost like we have played 5 of our 7 games at home or something....

This is just a complete and utter FAILURE of self scouting.  Something so systemic was happening that the opposing team knew what plays we were running before the snap.  Our self scouting personnel need to be fired, assuming we have any.  Any tendencies this large should have been found long before last week.  If we don't have any dedicated self scouting personnel, Sark needs to be  forced to hire some immediately.

OU in 2023 was the same basically that's how they picked off Quinn.
