This board loves talking about wins from 20 years ago. And it REALLY loves talking about losses (or at least bad performances) from 20 years ago.

Say it with me: I hereby pledge that if the left tackle I’d never heard of until last night does not commit to Texas, I will not have a full blown meltdown and question the manhood of Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood.

Everyone regularly in this forum knows Seaton. He was near a top ten overall recruit in 2024.

Joe Cook: What offensive snap counts tell us about Texas' portal strategy and progress

The premise of this article is fucking useless, as the author himself notes a couple times. Great content, Joe.

Allegedly there is a growing sentiment that 1st round Tackles can play either RT or LT if they’re worthy of the pick and that they can come from either spot out of college.

The distinction is not as big as it once was.

There is still a fairly significant financial advantage to being distinguished as a LT though. The numbers at the top and at around 30 (say all starters) are about the same. The NFL is more willing to pay out for an average (10-20) starting LT though.

Both things happened. Muschamp and the defense also gang raped Shawn Watson. Nebraska fans I know still talk about it.

Story of the Texas program, constantly talking about the past, never demanding of the future, and settling for good enough is good enough.

Clearing a bit more cap space, maybe.

I'm not sure Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, or even the Goat of the Woods With a Thousand Young could have blown up our OL as badly as Suh did that day

The guy who wanted a pay day went to a school struggling to raise money and is losing g all of its players. I’m guessing he did not get as much as his agent promised him.

This may sound cold but if dollars have to go to production and we are going all in for 2026, we probably should not be subsidizing the baseball team.

Just my two cents, but a lot of that is done, imo. I think it's more for playing time or fit. Given who Texas is chasing at the overhang positions, for example, it looks like there's going to be less playing time to be distributed for that big end that Kwiatkowski liked (which points to Vasek, Zina, and Jackson, and we know they love Jackson).

What was the point in raising the allowable scholarships? There’s 10.2k kids still in the portal and we are going to struggle to have 85 let alone 100+. Also, if you gave up your free college degree to try and get some extra thousands of NIL…delay the gratification, don’t eat the marshmallow.

No kidding.

Yes you can tell by the revolving door at the football head coaching position from 2013 to 2021, plus all of the constant bitching about our current staff, that UT administrators and fans are fine with poor results and perceived underachieving.

Oh wait no you can't. You're just a fucking idiot.

I think it was a biproduct of attempting to set a salary cap for university payments to players. They did not want to just make the scholarship limit a roster limit, as doing so looks bad for the student athletes, so they needed to raise the number when they switched from scholarship limits to roster limits. Now they can say that the new rules actually allowed additional scholarships, so its good for players.

RGBIII and his wife this morning “My god, how much chicken fried steak do these maniacs eat!”

Is this west campus Indian food?

Yes. We know it's toxic, but surly doesn't eat it.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

There's only one way to be positive.

You know what Ive really missed that I thought should be part of the transfer portal thread. I want to hear more about the Suh from 2000 fucking 9 .

53 man roster vs 85-105.

Not a direct comparison.

Well the way it might shake out over time is that the guys past 53 aren't getting NIL/revshare specifically because of the needs at the top.

What we REALLY need to add to all of this drama is spreadsheets. That'll get the college-educated business bro fanbase jazzed up. GIMME THEM PIVOT TABLES!

Wait wait wait wait....apparently someone didn't enjoy an almost daily "fried Indian bread" from the trailer on the Co-op side of the Cattle Crossing circa 1986....

There’s this thing called Title IX; so if we give football another 20 scholarships, we have to reduce 20 scholarships in other men’s sports or give female sports another 20 scholarships, which would require creating another female sport, which is way more expensive than the cost of 20 (really 40) scholarships. And since none of this is in a bubble, there’s probably a host of other obligations and considerations this would trigger.

It's not a direct comparison because one league has a salary cap and the other doesn't.

Would yall rather Texas spend 3M on two guards and a swing tackle type or 3M on Seaton?

To me, it makes more sense to set a high floor at each OL spot than chase ceiling at the OT spots

There’s been so scuttle on women’s gymnastics - both because it’s a huge SEC sport and because they can share the new Mini Moody facility with VB
