    Putting the Saban deal to bed, once and for all

    I can't wait until someone who knows what really went on writes a book about all this in 10-15 years. I know I will buy it!

    Brewer from Tech transferring

    Absolutely agree. I understand schools being able to restrict an undergrad transfer. But a graduate? That's not a transfer - kid is graduating, at which point his relationship with his undergrad school is over. Some lawyer needs to get all over this. And Kingsbury is trying to justify Tech...

    New NCAA Football Rules

    Someone needs to compile statistics on how much time is left on the play clock when the ball is snapped in previous seasons. Some have said that it won't affect most offenses, since teams rarely snap the ball with more than 30 seconds on the clock. So why even institute the penalty in the...

    max wittek

    So I thought this was going to be a spread offense? Why bring in a pro style passer? I sure hope the offensive staff knows what they are doing. Either they are going to do something brilliant and new, or there is going to be a battle of offensive philosophies between the coordinators. I hope...

    Predict TEXAS LONGHORNS 2014 Schedule

    I know this is a Texas prediction thread, but I've been thinking about Baylor. I think they were extremely overrated last year. Yes they scored a boatload of points - against bad teams, for the most part. And seriously faded towards the end of the season - evidenced by their Case McCoy-aided...

    Strong's Last Two Years at L'ville - Stat nerds.

    Question: looking at the 2013 stats, Why is Louisville's offense scoring 32.5 (25th) while UCF scored 34.6 (30th)? If UCF scored more, how did they rank lower? Interesting stats, by the way!

    Recruiting & BCS Championships

    Yet if you look at UT's recruiting rankings '09-'12 (ignoring '13 because none of them have seen the field yet), the classes were all ranked #2-#5 nationally, averaging 8-ish wins per year. That's pitiful. And it all comes down to coaching.

    Recruiting & BCS Championships

    Interesting to scan down the list and see teams that have approached UT's win totals the last 10 years (9.9 wins, 9.6 talent ranking) but with far less talent: Oregon (9.8 wins, 24.3 talent), Va Tech (9.9 wins, 28.8 talent) and Wisconsin (9.6 wins, 48.6 talent).

    Recruiting & BCS Championships

    I would like to see a column added to this that includes the number of wins per year as well. Interesting to compare the recruiting rankings of OU and UT from '09-'13 and look at the product both teams put on the field this year. Yes, we beat OU this year, but look at the beatdown OU put on...

    10 wins is my expectation for Coach Strong and here is why...

    So, what IF Ash's injury comes back to bite him next year? He gets his bell rung against UCLA and he's once again week to week like 2013. What's reasonable? 7-5? How much is a healthy Ash worth to this team? I think it's pretty reasonable to expect those symptoms to reoccur. If you ask me...

    Kendal Thompson transferring from OU

    I keep hearing different things regarding transfers - it's pretty clear they have to sit out a year and lose that year's eligibility if it's within the conference. But graduating and going somewhere else for the last year or two of eligibility - that is not really transferring, is it? Does...

    Question about Heard

    Is it possible for Swoopes to redshirt this year? I'm not sure if I've ever heard of a player taking a redshirt year after playing a year, unless it was for an injury. Would help Swoopes catch up and Heard could back up this year.

    The Quarterback Problem

    I think what the qb situation looks like in the fall will show us what Shawn Watson is made of. He did a pretty good job with the last qb he worked with. I hope he can do the same magic with this group, plus possibly another.

    Hey Hornsports members, what do you do?

    Professor at Texas A&M at Corpus Christi. Just because my paycheck comes from the A&M System does NOT make me any kind of aggy. Proud Longhorn with two degrees from UT! And go Islanders!
