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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

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.

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).

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...

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...

In case you missed it this week...

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...

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.

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.

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!

Even if they both end up on the two teams, Mayfield won't be starting for OU with what Knight did against Alabama. And probably unlikely Brewer would be starting unless Ash was still having concussion issues. But we could still see it happen, when UT is up 42-0 in the third quarter and the...

From DMN: @ChuckCarltonDMN: Per source, former Tech QB Michael Brewer will not be allowed to transfer to another Big 12 school under NCAA and conference rules.

I think he has 2 years of eligibility left. And if he graduates, no restrictions on when he can actually play. Gilbert played at SMU from day one, didn't he?

For those of you that won't listen to Beingreal's tweets, he says he is hearing conflicting reports about who the OC will be from his different sources, so he refuses to report until he gets 4 sources saying the same thing. Patterson is definitely trying to muddy the waters, maybe smoke out who...

I thought Strong wanted the OC to have Texas ties for recruiting? None of the three Bohls mentions fits that. Riley is the only one. Sounds like someone is feeding Bohls some smoke.
