Crossfire: Give Me 20

How close is UT to signing a juco QB now that Wittek isn't coming? 

What recommendations, if any, has Disney made to improve our in-game experience at DKR?

What is the timetable for south end zone expansion at DKR?

Rumor is the Big12's athletic directors met recently in OKC to discuss expansion and possible candidates.  BYU has come up again.  Why would we feel compelled to add teams now unless they add more than a pro rata increase to our TV contracts?

Any updates on possible candidates to replace Augie Garrido as baseball coach?

 
greetings darrell,

last week's crossfire, was such a stunning, shocking, and yet POWERHOUSE of information.. that it left me feeling mentally drained.  if fact, i still cannot believe it!  darrell, as you are keenly aware, the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS is not just some push over / wayward everyday university of peers.  UT is one of the premier collegiate institutions upon this world.  UT comprises some of the foremost faculty academicians imaginable.  UT is the largest, and yet premier collegiate institution upon this state of texas.  UT also embodies the true aura of our great state via money, power, oil, heritage, culture, as well as the overall mystique of texas...

Q  mack brown, was supposed to be one of the top two highest paid head coaches upon this nation.  mack brown, was supposed to be a smart offensive minded coach, as well as a media wiz, a recruits dream coach, and just an all around great guy.  how on earth was mack brown allowed to install an offensive philosophy / strategy that the NFL did not even care to take the time as well as warrant the expense to grade upon?  how on earth was he allowed to jeopardize his players upon an offensive strategy that ultimately failed them?  how on earth did deloss dodds not know about this..  or did he know, and just did not respond?  is this the ultimate reason, that some of the coaches quickly bailed on mack brown with know real comprehensive reasoning?  what about the players themselves?  did the players know that the nfl was not going to grade them the same as they were grading the other collegiate football teams that shared a different offensive philosophy / strategy?  what is really being stated behind the scenes at bellmont regarding this sickening scenario / saga?

Q  just to touch upon what jbtexasex is questioning regarding the "disney factor"...  well darrell, it is now MAY venturing very fast into the month of JUNE and so on....  should disney somehow come through as per their fan experience recommendations vs game day overhaul, do you feel that timing is of the essense?  these months are indeed flying by, I have this strong sense that should disney present their findings vs recommendations over to bellmont, the timing shall be an important factor upon whether or not any of these items shall be implemented as per this forthcoming season?  i mean, let's face it..  all important matters such as these, definitely take time to be fully implemented so that the fandom shall reach a comfort zone.  does disney have any particular contractual timeline in place to facilitate needs as per dkr?  or shall this process become a prolonged effort journeying into fall of 2015?

What's the latest on the staff's efforts to find a serviceable juco QB candidate?  If no juco QB is discovered or signed, does that mean a 2nd qb would be taken in the 2015 class?  I've read that Gentry may have been told he was to be the only QB taken in this class.  What's the latest on Dylan Mack and our DT recruiting as this position is getting dangerously thin after Brown, Ridgeway, and Jackson.  It seems like we're on the cusp of some serious defensive progress on the recruiting front, but I'm curious why it's taken an obvious defensive guru in Strong a longer time to get these kids to commit.  Where do we stand with Lodge and Hemphill and is Boyd really that infatuated with A&M when some reports had him considering a commitment to Texas a few weeks ago?

What's the other half of Darrell's comment regarding Manziel being buddies with Spieth?

When did using the "kansas" type font on our jerseys start to become a regular thing? It's horrifically ugly. Will in change? (See: men's basketball and softball jerseys)

 
I've lost my phone. Won't have it back for another two days. What do I do?

Go to McPhaul's house in Austin and get it.............it is laying in the back yard!!!!!

Will Gray be able to start the first game and get 2,000 yds in 2014?

Actually, Mack Brown's background is on offense.  He was OC at Oklahoma, among others.

I actually kinda like the "Kansas" type font.  In most graphic design applications, the font is called "Tiffany".  

I guess that's the problem, though, when it comes to men's hoops.  :P

Will there be any change to our uniform this year? Will the "100" go away?

 
Who is Charlie Strong looking at to bring in has a junior college quarterback?

Which freshmen coming in are going to be expected to contribute with playing time?

What is the progress with David Ash's foot?

 
Taking a look at smaller sports and the AD, where do the following stand:

Softball, Clark:  Biggest one IMO.  I think it's time to go.  Is Cat a realistic replacement?

MSW, Reese: getting close to time to retire? Possible replacements?  One coach for both M/W?

WSW, Capitani: Not real knowledgable here.. program headed up or stagnant? 

Soccer: Kelly: Still new, any big recruits that could help us improve?

WTennis: McCain: Same as WSW.. are we okay with 10-20 rankings but no real national hopes?

WGolf, Richards: Any news period.. not knowledgeable at all on WGolf.

T/F, Sategna: Brand new.. any assistant coaching potential hires or recruiting news?

Volleyball, Elliot; MTennis, Center; MGolf, Fields all very safe and performing at elite levels.
