    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    I haven't read it, I'm sure it is an interesting perspective and a good study of things to avoid. The repression of others we still see in this country is less explicit than the Nazi regimen which makes it harder to identify and easier to justify.

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    I see three different things happening here, somewhat on a continuum. Peaceful Protesting - what the majority are currently doing. Large gatherings or marches so proclaim a message. Problem is, this is easy to ignore, gloss over, or say, oh that's nice. Rioting - protesting where things get a...

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    Buck Burnette used a racial slur and made threats to kill the president. I think he even got heat from a federal level due to that. Not just stupid and selfish. https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/sports/2008-11-07/699807/ One of my good buddies in college went to school, Wimberly, with Buck...

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    Anyone interested in understanding the view point of systemic racism in America and the socialization we have all experienced I would encourage you to watch this video. It is a 20 minute video that summarizes some of the key points in a 6 hour audio book so it is just scratching the surface. You...

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    Heres the thing Bell, they don't get treated the same. You probably don't realize it but they face racism that you don't. It may be more subtle than what you think of as racism but it is there.

    OT: Is it Worth it?

    Team with the best QB usually wins and there aren't many QBs out there this year better than Sam. Will Rattler be? That is yet to be seen. He was a stud recruit and can ball but he will be in year 1 of college action. That is tough for anyone. Rattlers achilles heel may be his attitude, did you...

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    Reading what Eagles said, I don't take it to mean that he is quitting football. Maybe it is, but I think he was more so making a dramatic statement to drive his point home - fighting the social injustice in our country is much more important than football. I would also be surprised if any of...

    Brennan Eagles Weighs In

    So, a young black student athlete uses his platform to make a statement about systemic racism in America and the responses are as follows: We've got other WRs He's being selfish personal money grab he is now overweight (ie lazy) he was a cancer last year?? I won't be paying to watch anymore So...

    2021 Recruiting

    And I understand Blake hasn't always been the biggest fan of UT as an Alum either, is that right? Not that he is anti-Texas but I think you've mentioned that he has had some issues at times. His NFL pedigree and high level success are a reason for concern for me. I feel like that makes him more...

    Can we have just one political thread?

    I'm sorry that you and your family have personally dealt with crimes committed against you and I can understand why it may shape your perception of others. I don't agree with your portrayal of black football players as violent rapists. Joe Mixon, yes. The Baylor players, yes. They have earned...

    2021 Recruiting

    The Brockermeyer's have a brother currently on the team, Luke. Every advantage in terms of family ties. But they have been seriously looking around at national powers, Bama being the biggest threat. These guys have NFL bloodlines and that is the ultimate goal. Bama certainly has a better recent...

    Can we have just one political thread?

    Nueces, correct me if I am misunderstanding your posts in this thread, but you are saying some things that appear to be quite racist. Are you suggesting that because some black football players at Baylor raped someone (or Mixon punched someone) that means we need to be wary of all other black...

    2021 Recruiting

    2021 Recruiting still has a ways to go but it seems that this class isn't going to knock anyones socks off. Heck, for a small class, 20 or so, it may crack the top 10 team rankings but I fear many fans will be lamenting what could have been. Texas has suffered some big losses in recruiting...

    2021 Recruiting

    Expect two commits on June 15th, both from future members of the defensive backfield. It's a down year overall in state for DBs but landing the top ranked in state safety and the 2nd ranked CB is still a great haul. Ishmael Ibraheem - #13 CB, #171 overall, 4 star...

    Relax people there will be a fb season

    Decommit season will be wild this year. Something like twice as many players committed at this point than in years past. 600 vs 300 or so for a typical cycle.

    2020 Longhorn Football - Defensive Version

    Rod Babers on the Blitz Podcast mentioned that this tackling technique was taught by Orlando. Not only was it ineffective but it was almost certainly the cause of the multitude of DB injuries last year. Chris Ash is a big proponent of rugby style tackling. This should lead to much more sure...

    I should also mention here that Clayton Smith will be announcing today as well but it has become clear that he will be committing to OU today.

    2 commitments expected today (Friday, 5/15)

    2 prospects have reported that they are announcing their decision today and both are expected to commit to Texas. Neither will be seen as a big splash as they are both 3 star ranked prospects but it's clear that the Texas coaching staff likes what they see from these two players. Jonathon...
