August 1Aug 1 My God. I'm all for equality and all, but can we nip (pun intended) a few of the women off ESPN? Someone by the name of Candy Maldonado (may have gotten the first name wrong) has an article about teams making or not making the playoffs. Of course, Texas is the team that she'd bet on to not make the playoffs. Fine. Cool. I have a couple of worries as well. Namely that Texas could lose at OSU and at GA, and only have room for one more loss to make the playoffs. But, she states that the Texas v aggy game is a coin flip. Fuck's sake.

It's just the stupid hot takes, from random pundits, these days. Like that idiot Doering. Ok, yes, Arch is probably overhyped, but to claim that some scrub transfer from Wash St. is going to win the Heisman is just stupid. Even if he's actually good, the offensive personnel around him isn't. It's a take that nobody will remember when OU goes 5-7 and Mateer gets sacked 7 times a game. Some of these folks are no better or informed than the average texags poster. /early Friday drinking takes

August 2Aug 2 Author Popular Post Update for today from Bobby with some interesting takes on the younger players. ***** Texas will hold its fourth practice of training camp later today. It’s scheduled to begin at 6:30pm, just like last night. The first two practices were held in the mid-afternoon of the Texas heat. They’re meant to get a team prepared for the worst conditions. The team got a real feel for that. One Texas player was severely dehydrated and subsequently missed the next couple of practices (yes, I know who it is, but, no, I’m not going to name them). Bottom line, the message from coaches is clear: stay hydrated, get your rest and treat your body right because this is an extremely taxing sport, especially in the middle of summer. ** There’s a little positive chatter behind the scenes on recruiting. Texas is gaining some confidence on a pair of players currently committed elsewhere. ** There are so many talented young players on this roster, a few of them are already looking to leapfrog talented veterans or at least solidify a spot in the rotation either as a starter or key back-up. Those players (so far) include: - WR Daylon McCutcheon - TE Emaree Winston - OL Nick Brooks - DT Josiah Sharma - DE Lance Jackson - NB Graceson Littleton Others to watch for: - WR Michael Terry - TE Nick Townsend - OL Jackson Christian - DE-DT Justus Terry - CB Kade Phillips* - S Jonah Williams* * Neither Phillips nor Williams practiced the first two days. But both have been received positive reviews through summer training, enough so to merit inclusion on this list. ** KJ Lacey, Jamie Ffrench, Kaliq Lockett, Jordan Coleman, Zelus Hicks, Myron Charles, and Bo Barnes all look the part early but are not situated to make a major positional impact early. However, Hicks and Barnes could absolutely be major contributors on special teams. Lockett might also get some early run there, too. He was surprisingly good as a gunner and blocker in early punting practice reps. ** We’ll keep our ears to the ground for more practice notes for you. Hook’Em!

What is the Texas Longhorns fall practice schedule? Workouts begin soon! - Longhorns Wire Spoiler What is the Texas Longhorns fall practice schedule? Workouts begin soon! Trey Luerssen Longhorns Wire The Longhorns will begin fall camp on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at Denius Fields on the UT campus. While there are a handful of practice windows open to the media, most of the Longhorns practices will be completely closed to the public. The first week the team will work out without pads as Sark and the coaching staff install the primary schemes for the coming campaign. Then the Horns will strap on pads next week. Texas will hold two intrasquad scrimmages on Saturday, Aug. 16 and Saturday, Aug. 23. Both scrimmages are also closed to the public. It all builds up to Texas' season opener in the Horseshoe at the Ohio State Buckeyes on Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. CT.

August 2Aug 2 Author The OSU guys are trying to be soft about it, but apparently the OSU defense looks dramatically better than the offense, mostly due to QB and OL play. I think that was also the story in the spring. They did matchups 1’s vs 1’s, 2’s vs 2’s today and the defense was kicking the offense’s ass. A bright spot for the offense was when Smith beat Devin Sanchez deep by 5 yards for a TD. Edited August 2Aug 2 by closetojumping

Seemed like 2024 Texas defense was not good at causing fumbles... Any predictions on whether Texas 2025 defense will be better at generating more turnovers?
