It is time for a hard statute of limitations on valentines day

The law should be valentines day may be celebrated for the first 2 to 3 years of a new relationship. I can appreciate its usefulness in that regard. After that, it is just a marketing ploy to get money. We need to opt out.
It gets old trying to come up with something every year for many many years or else........

“Texas is the new Alabama in the SEC”

- Rick Neuheisel on Full Ride this morning.

Edit: what he meant by this was that Bama was #2 in the SEC and now Texas is. He said Sark runs a much more Saban- like program than DeBoer. That with the departure of Saban, Sark is poised to fill that roll of sustained success better than anyone. Acknowledged that Georgia is the clear cut number one and argued that they were before Sabans exit. Also said he’s hearing that Bama has filed formal tampering charges against Texas.

LOL, I started this thread before I saw his posts in all the other threads.

Guess, I'll just sit back and enjoy my wine while I'm being entertained :cool:
You should have seen the other thread about the one to waste your ass. That's the one I followed and they pointed out your still alive. What's that all about?

One question, and a couple of thoughts; +bonus

1). 1 DL coach vs 2 DB coaches… or 2 DL coaches vs 1 DB coach?

I always thought it was a little strange that Sark hired both Gideon and Joseph to coach the safeties and the corners (respectively).

I mean… Gideon himself got coached by a guy who held down the entire Defensive Backfield back for 12 years (when there were only 9 coaches allowed on the field instead of the current 10.)

With Bo Davis having left for LSU last week, I ask the question; would you prefer (on a scale of 1-10) a 7.5 interior DL Coach + a 7.5 outside DL coach and an 8.5 DB coach… or a 7.5 safeties coach + a 7.5 corners coach and an 8.5 DL coach?

Personally I would lean towards having 2 DL coaches for interior/exterior rather than 2 for Corners/Safeties. Regarding Coaching DL guys who are 6’5” 235lb are much different than coaching guys who are 6’1”-6’4” who weigh 335lb. Their styles of play are very different!

That is not to say that safeties and cornerbacks are “a bridge too far”, in fact most of us would agree that DBs are much more interchangeable than DLs. I.e. it’s much harder to put a 245lb edge rusher at NT than it is to move a nickel to CB or S… right?

2).

A) I’m hoping that Sark will hire an analyst liaison for Baker as a crutch; someone who doesn’t try to take over his job, but rather in a mentor type role.

B) Texas needs to start outspending everyone… and I mean EVERYONE!!! “Shrouds don’t have pockets.”
Re: Jabbar… outspend Oregon. He is better than anyone available; and we’ll need a player like him. Throw a “bag” at any DL who fits sark’s culture… I know, I know, easier said than done!

***bonus

If you watched the modcast yesterday, you might have picked up a tidbit from Suchomel about A’Shawn Robinson.

What Such put out is 100% true… I’m saying this as level 1; as in directly from the mouth of one of the 9 Coaches on the UT staff…

I put it out there immediately after NSD 2013 in the evening and then, it was gone! As in… disappeared the soon after. I regret that I may have gotten him in trouble since he had had a “few” that night.

If what the “1-9” coaches are correct about, Robinson backed off signing with Texas at the last minute, and then his Family had the audacity to ask them to help him sign the paperwork. Level 1!

My first case of Orangebloods “loose lips…”

Welcome to the SEC: Alabama has filed tampering charges against Texas?

As I have mentioned before my morning routine includes listening to FULL RIDE on Sirius XM Channel 84. Listening to the host, former head coach Rick Neuheisel was talking with co-host Dari Nowkhah about NIL and the portal when he dropped this little nugget today:

"I am told that Alabama has filed tampering charges against Texas. They have evidence, to the detriment of Texas, that there was tampering before any player went into the portal."

Oh boy. If this statement is true then I assume Alabama has reported these "tampering charges" to the NCAA since we are not officially in the SEC until July.

Wow...we haven't even walked into the front door of the SEC and it appears the gloves are already off! Embrace the hate.

Almost a Fifth of Americans Won't Vote in a Trump-Biden Rematch

Just another poll for everyone on here to throw in their 2 cents worth on. Which is at least double what mine is worth.

Saw a few of things of interest.
- Among those who would vote, 40% support Trump and 34% support Biden and 26% for someone else or not at all.
- 70%, including almost 50% of Dems, thought Biden shouldn't run.
- 56%, including 31% of Repubs, thought Trump shouldn't run.

Alex's Texas 2025 Recruiting Rankings Project v.2.0 (1/25/24)


For each update, I'll have quick write-ups on 5 guys. At the end of each set of write-ups, I'll have my updated 2025 recruiting rankings for the state of Texas. For example, right now, we're just adding five more guys into the mix with the first 5 I did in version 1.0. That set of rankings looked like this, using the Top 5 players in the Rivals recruiting rankings at the time in-state, I personally ranked them like this:

v1.0

1. Devin Sanchez, CB North Shore
2. Dakorien Moore, WR Duncanville
3. Michael Fasusi, OT Lewisville
4. Andrew Marsh, WR Katy Jordan
5. Jonah Williams, S Galveston Ball

This time, we'll do players 6-9 as Rivals sees them along with also incorporating new Texas commit Lance Jackson to make it an even 10 players in version 2.0. I will then insert those players into the rankings. Then 11-15, 16-20, and on and on. Once the list gets some substance to it, we can add in other players or some who might be rising and not as high in the Rivals rankings, etc. (kind of like we are inserting Jackson this week, who is ranked in the 20s per Rivals currently). It's going to be a changing and dynamic set of rankings with each new batch of players who gets added in.

Player write-ups from previous versions:
Version 1.0

A few caveats: as always, I reserve the right to change these up (maybe drastically) as we gain more information. I'm going here based on HUDL highlights, reports and maybe some clips from camps, etc. As we get into camp season and we get official weights and heights and simply real-life eyeballs on these players, it's clearly going to trump what we can see from their HUDL reels.

The players we'll be adding into the mix this week:

Lance Jackson, TE/DE Texarkana Pleasant Grove

Jackson brings such a unique profile to the table. He'll certainly play defensive end for the Longhorns, but he'd honestly be a take if he was insistent on playing TE. This kind of size/movement/athleticism/coordination profile simply doesn't grow on trees and you want it on your football team. In a recent conversation with Suchomel, Jackson said he is currently 6-6, 260 pounds, which might be overcooking the grits a little, but he's certainly probably bigger than his listed 230 pounds. Thick and high-cut with long arms; powerful and dripping with athletic upside. Jackson's lower half moves in harmony with his upper half as a rusher with an economy of motion that looks like a guy ready to go out of the box. This is not normal, as most developmental end prospects usually look a little gangly and uncoordinated -- like a puppy with giant paws that you know is going to turn into some kind of beast one day, but may trip over himself to start. Jackson is more proportional in his build and technical/intentional in his movements while still having the frame to put on good mass. His hand-eye coordination is excellent and he's simply a natural athlete and baller. I was definitely surprised to hear that the guy also throws a 95-mph fastball, but once you think about it, you realize that's just the kind of naturally coordinated and powerful athlete Jackson is. I feel like Texas landed a Malik Jefferson-like prospect here without anything near the Malikmas celebration from the fanbase.

Dorian Brew, CB Conroe

Rangy, long and more built-out than you typically see in a corner, you wonder a little bit about Brew's speed given his frame until you hear he has 100-meter track times as low as the 10.6's and parents who were professional track athletes, his father an Olympian. He's a really good football player and athlete who has excelled on both sides of the football, but you really can see him achieving his ultimate upside at outside corner. He's aggressive against opposing WRs in their route stems off the line of scrimmage and at the catch point, almost to the point of being a little too handsy as displayed in the following reps:

DJ Sanders, DT Bellville

A dancing bear who is light on his feet and explosive. When you see two touchdowns in the first five clips of a season of HUDL highlights FOR A DEFENSIVE TACKLE, it tells you a powerful story that this is the type of player who can take over football games. He has an unstoppable interior bull rush in the clips above and appears to be an immovable object and total black hole against the run. Outstanding quickness and explosive ability off the snap despite needing to work on pad level. The natural explosion that comes from uncoiling his hips manifests in a devastating initial punch when combined with already outstanding upper body and core strength. With time in a college program, he has all the looks of a multi-year starter at the 3-tech or the nose despite playing a lot of end in the highlights.

Adrian Wilson, WR Pflugerville Weiss

Login to view embedded media
Cousin of 2023 Top 10 NFL draft pick Tyree Wilson (DE, Texas Tech). While not many people on Earth have a wingspan similar to Tyree Wilson's pterodactyl-one, Adrian Wilson has more than enough arm length to be a certified catch-radius problem for opposing defenders at the high school level. His long legs and strides also bring a level of speed that sneaks up on you. A true go-up-and-get-it-type of player and rare level asset in the red zone, he should be the first read in every passing down snap when his team is in scoring position.

Great hands-catcher. What's very impressive about his overall package is that he is going to be an excellent contested-catch option at the next level, but has 1) the requisite speed to win downfield and; 2) the type of smoothness that you don't always see from more brutish and physical dominators at the catch point.

Kaliq Lockett, WR Sachse

Oh man. I wasn't expecting this. I must have watched that highlight reel 4 times before even writing a word. My goodness. Lockett is a freaky acrobat and circus-act-style receiver. Big hands and wide catch radius. A true thrill to watch in the highlights. He does not have the long speed to be at the very top of this class in that regard, but he's fast enough -- totally flies by dudes in the junior highlights above, and only occasionally will get caught from behind after-catch, where he also excels with excellent open-field vision and houdini-like escapes from all manner of defensive pursuit.
