YOur walk-on program should cover your kicking issues as far as depth goes.@Ketchum I have to agree to strongly disagree on the signing the HS kicker thing. All your points are duly noted and can’t disagree with your numbers. The issue is that kickers can and do get hurt. This is not the NFL where you hold a try out and just sign some guy off the street. And what happens if a guy truly regresses like Burt Auburn did in 2024 or just gets in a funk. You’ve got to have some depth from somewhere. This is a position where the SEC scholarship limits are really complicating optimal roster management versus other conferences. I strongly approve of what we did in the portal but you also need some backups.
I’m not in the weeds on the changing landscape of football, but I thought you couldn’t do walk ons any more. That’s exactly my point. 85 scholarships and no walk ons makes this issue all the more complicated. 105 scholarships, it’s easy. You get 1 alpha of each in the portal and have HS and JUCO/D2 compete for the backups. In the old days, you always had 3 walk on kickers and it didn’t matter.YOur walk-on program should cover your kicking issues as far as depth goes.

I get it and I saw the same ugly stretches that you did. But it seems like you only ask half the question, the other being, would Arch have met QE's highs? Would Arch have dissected Michigan the same way? Or Bama the year before? Or OK State in the B12 championship? He was great in those games. Freshman or sophomore Arch may have been able to win those games because the Texas D was suffocating opposing offenses, but I think it's a disservice to Quinn to gloss over those performances.It's just that Ewers was so consistently poor for long stretches. Barring truly Disaster levels of play akin at Chris Simms at his worst, I don't know how Arc h could be worse. The worst thing that could happen is that Texas wouldn't score many points in big games, which is what Quinn did.
You have 105 slots. Right now, only 85 of those are scholarships at Texas.I’m not in the weeds on the changing landscape of football, but I thought you couldn’t do walk ons any more.

I'm all for the PWOsMost of the kickers you listed were walkons, I'm pretty pretty sure.
I can tell you how to tell the difference. Look at when they announce the offer.

His career was a mixed bag for sure. Again, I'm just making a distinction between what we know and what is unadulterated speculation.
Quinn brought us out of the darkness, so I will admit I have a soft spot for him. Nevertheless, I am being objective on this subject. Arch could win the Heisman and lead us to a natty next year, but it doesn't mean he would have done better than Quinn in 2024. I'm just going to enjoy the ride.
It most certainly did not. They were all scholarship players.Your analysis included them. 🤷♂️

That doesn't sound right, but will trust you.![]()
So don’t offer a HS kicker 😹👊You have 105 slots. Right now, only 85 of those are scholarships at Texas.
And how was that different for Gunner? Texas had UGA on the ropes. He comes in, and unlike Arch, sustained his first drive, leading UGA to a TD. His entry caused those others guys in the huddle to play better.It was next to an impossible situation to e placed in.
Can you name one player around him in the huddle that was playing well?

The Town is based on a true story.Wild that the Account got a sequel before The Town. Seems prime for a follow-up.
It's very, very loosely based on real events.The Town is based on a true story.
When Arch was inserted briefly at the end of the half, the entire team was in disarray.No but he still played poorly with sacks and bad throws and I believe a fumble.
I agree. I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. And the Georgia defense was pinning their ears back and coming hard. That is what happens when you have no running game.When Arch was inserted briefly at the end of the half, the entire team was in disarray.
Or anyone in an 11-man huddle playing well.I agree. I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. And the Georgia defense was pinning their ears back and coming hard. That is what happens when you have no running game.
Oh, man, give the last duel another chance!
This slander for Pearl Harbor will not stand. Bout to start issuing suspensions.
really dig that movie...but I'm a Ridley Scott nerd to the point of forgiving him for Gladiator 2
you're making threats over a movie with a 6.2 IMDb & 24% RT...it was a big dumb fun flick with some crazy cool plane stunts...put it on a Michael Bay list because whose gonna give a shit, but, Ben deserved better

I'm not making threats, I'm making promises!![]()
drop the hammer sir if your bad taste guilty pleasure trash flick requires you to...

so, how many real deal kickers are their in the portal? Even the guy we got, he kicked at Texas st, he's practically jumping from JV to Varsity all over again. He could completely fold in bigger moments in actually meaningful games. Who do u go to if he isnt doing well or gets hurt? What real deal kickers are gonna walk on to be a backup? Edit: the mesage sounds argumentative, im genuinely just curiousYOur walk-on program should cover your kicking issues as far as depth goes.
They straggle in and out. Even now, there is a few decent kicking options. In a world where you have 105 schollies like in the Big 10 this year, I'd say a couple need to be kickers.so, how many real deal kickers are their in the portal?

ok ok, what's the update with that situation tho? Did the NCAA confirm 105 or is everyone just going off the prediction that they will?They straggle in and out.

last years starter will be backup. I agree, can u get a bonfied stud kicker after shipley leave? And yea, i guess with ore scholarships theres no excuse, but I dont see an outcome where a legit kicker comes here as a walk on to sit behind and hope he can come in one dayThere weren’t many it seems.
Stone will be the backup like this year I think.
My question is who is the backup punter.
My bigger question is wtf do we do next year.
Getting a portal guy at K and P seems to be the plan but how do you attract a backup or any depth with that strategy.
still waiting for the judge to decide. should be next week.ok ok, what's the update with that situation tho? Did the NCAA confirm 105 or is everyone just going off the prediction that they will?
