Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[dillohorn]

Has anyone heard we might be without 2 defensive players for the bowl game due to academics 

Well, that's just great. :angry:

 

[MikeV73]

Sounds like Orlando and Drayton are being considered for HC gigs

Drayton, interesting...

 

[BigL]

How many bowl practices is Texas allowed to have?

I believe all schools get 15 days.  

For the 4 playoff teams it's probably different.  

 

[Rotty22]

I’ve never seen a 5* player say they chose a school/team because they change up uniforms from time to time.   Build a program right and there’s no need for gimmicks.  And I’m neither an alum nor old

there won't be any player that picks a school because they have alternate game uniforms, 5* or whatever.  if there is, then their priorities aren't right.

 

[Rotty22]

If we lose Bru McCoy, it will be to a team that does not jack with its uniform. (USC)

If we lose Trey Sanders, it will be to a team that does not jack with its uniform. (Bama)

Same basic helmet with subtle change. Still not as much change as when we throw "100" over our Bevo.

Then why change a great classic look?

recruiting and alternate game uniforms are independent of each other.  seems like you're implying that they are connected and that the only reason we would offer alternate game uniforms is to appease recruits.

there are other reasons to change up uniforms on certain occasions.  perhaps the current players and coaches want a new fresh look on certain occasions.  i know the majority of the folks in this forum don't like the idea.  but that's only a fraction of the UT base.  CDC should poll the players/coaches/students/alumni and fanbase.  i wonder what the results would be...

Change the longhorn logo every once in a while for a fresh one.  Change the mascot to something totally different. UT could be the fighting skunks. Keep changing on a regular schedule so no one gets bored. Stadium could yell black white back and forth.................................Change for the sake of change is a bad idea.

Thats why we have washing machines.

The only implications made are people saying alternate unis would help.  I don’t think they’d make a difference in anything, especially recruiting as the kids I hope Texas lands wouldn’t be swayed by something so silly

I have voted hell no. Don’t need no stinkin’ poll. 

 

[drgilbert]

So apparently DL Mike Williams has left the team. 

 

[utb040713]

TFB is hinting at "unrest in the QB room". Anyone here know anything about that?

 My guess is click bait.

According to the Brainiacs, Moro Ojomo suffered a leg/ankle injury in bowl practice. Injury was so severe they had to take him to the hospital.

Alvonte Woodard broke his collarbone in a collision during practice.

 

[Bear19]

Damn

Crap crap

Collarbone is usually a 6 week recovery.

Okay for spring practice and next year,  but the young man will miss the opportunity to play in an awesome bowl game. Hate that for him
