    I remember a marquee bowl game against Michigan 20 years ago. We had a hyped QB who had started to come into his own and roster filled with very talented sophomores and juniors. Texas ended up beating

So getting paid more money means you should spend less time trying to be a great player? That doesn't make much sense to me. Getting paid seems to me to mean you should take it more seriously and professionally not less.

Lame shit is still lame shit no matter how sophisticated the tech that enables it. You can do cool and creative stuff with AI. There is just a lot of really bad low effort AI slip out there.

I'm not sure if this is the thread for this but there really isn't one so here goes: how the fuck has Michael Taaffe never won the Burlsworth Trophy (for outstanding former walk-on player). It's named after a player who went from walk-on to All American, something Taaffe LITERALLY DID. And yet, the 2024 winner was Bryce Boettcher from Oregon and the 2025 winner was the Mestemaker kid from UNT. They're both solid players, don't get me wrong, but more deserving of the "best walk-on award" than Taaffe?

I see that now. Wow. This is the kind of snub that should get them delegitimized - or whatever the word you'd use for it is - as a major CFB award. This is just a really, REALLY awful decision on their part and it's based on a "rivalry" where their shitty school has lost more than 71% of the games. The folks in charge of the Burlsworth "award" should be fucking ashamed

No. It’s just unfunny, tired, and as low IQ as you are.

-some relevant team updates 

Thanks, guys!

Quote

Following their worst rushing season since 1944, the Texas Longhorns decided to make a personnel change in terms of coaching. 

The Longhorns brought in former Florida Gators running backs coach Jabbar Juluke to replace the recently fired Chad Scott, looking to shake things up in 2026.

However, it seems as though Texas fans and administrators won’t have to wait until next season to catch a glimpse of the new brain behind their rushing game.

New Texas Coaching Staff Hire to Debut in Bowl Game vs. Michigan

The Texas Longhorns have switched things up with the hope of improving their rushing game, and their new hire will appear in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31.

Michigan might be running out of coaches. 

 

It it will have been a month since we played and beat Aggys ass when we roll out a completely different looking team. I fully expect that it will look like ass water, but at least it’s football.

Defensively, yes. The bulk of the offense will play except Moore and he disappears in games a lot so everything might look pretty normal.

is there a way to sign up for auto-negging?  like you can for auto-draft?

We’re playing Michigan’s back up QB, so should even out.

if this is a criticism of my posts that arch should sit, i am retracting my take based on counsel from maxhorn inre: we don't have anyone on campus to give minutes to for development purposes so he has to play

i pray to god he emerges unscathed

Derrick Moore becomes Michigan football’s first Citrus Bowl opt-out

Moore is the first opt-out of the game to go public. With him out, the expectation is that TJ Guy and likely Cameron Brandt, Dom Nichols, and the other EDGEs will work in his place.

It's not clear at this juncture if fellow edge rusher-outside linebacker Jaishawn Barham will play or if he'll opt out for the draft.

False, as he was not the first.

 

 

Sherrone Moore opted out two weeks ago.

El-Hadi out could really hurt.

With all of our defensive opt-outs, we need more of their offensive guys to stay home.

Michigan is going to run the ball between the tackles pretty much all game. We got no LBs

I am shocked you're pessimistic. Absolutely shocked, I tell you.

Also Boyd is really fixated on our lack of LBs without talking much about the state of the Michigan program right now.

Negged for lazily quoting Ian A. Boyd

Is Arch playing?

If so we have enough on both sides of the ball.

We managed pretty well without Smith and Hill first half of A&M. Think we’ll be ok.

Isn't he just jumping on a job now before a new head coach comes in and brings his own OC?  Then the carousel has stopped and Lindsey is unemployed. 

This is not an "oof," this is smart of him.

Not a good look, but in all fairness, he probably knows there's a good chance the new HC will hire his own staff, so he's jumping on what might be the best job available instead of waiting to see how the shitshow of Michigan's head coaching search shakes out.

Edit:  Js1 beat me to it.
