Hot take from scrimmage in my own words...

*offense won today

*D’Shawn Jamison scored 2 touchdowns in scrimmage, 1 was a 70 yard Jet sweep. Kids is ballin

* starting O-line was Anderson,  Vahe, Shackelford, Rodriguez, and Cosmi.

*Buechele has a hell of a day is the word on the street. Moved the chains well.

* No INT thrown today!

* top 3 backs from scrimmage were Watson, Kirk Johnson, Ingram.

sounds like a hell of a scrimmage and offense looked liked it clearly had a pulse

I'm calling it right now, Todd Orlando will be more successful as a head coach than Tom Herman. Dude just has the IT factor and seems completely genuine.

I hope not. I hope he is the best assistant coach ever at Texas. Pay the man and keep him for ever.

Great coordinators do not necessarily make great head coaches.  I could make a case that David McWilliams was a better DC than Orlando.  He had everything you might want as a UT HC (including a National Championship as a player).  And as a HC he was..... poor is a nice way to put it.

Also appears Dicker the kicker looked great and it’s his slot to lose at these point,  just a lot more consistent

Read it from 2 different sources  who atleast act like they are in the know. So is gotta be true right? Lol

It’s crazy how different some of the reports are. I’m not a member of any paid site, but between here and other free sites I have seen reports from IT and OB. One of the sites said the RB’s looked good and the other said there weren’t many holes. One talked a lot about Sam and the other praised Shane. There were quite a few varying opinions. One site said Sam ran over a defender(Townsend I think). The other site didn’t mention it. The first game can’t get here soon enough.

You still seem very skeptical about Herman and the team.  Now you can blow off what I'm about to tell you as it seems that is your M.O.  But I will tell you where I get what little information I do and what kind of men they are.   Both are multi-millionaires that have made MAJOR contributions to the University of Texas.  BOTH have their names either on buildings or scholarships.  One is an ex-regent and former player and both have a place on the sidelines - during practices and in the locker rooms - if they have the time to attend.  Now you can call bullshit until the cows come home.  I couldn't care less.

But I am being told that the coaches think they have a conference contender and are coaching with a quiet excitement.  Hell no, they aren't going to hang their necks out in pressers.  Would you? 

I do believe that you have  multi-millionaires that have made MAJOR contributions to the University of Texas and I do believe you that you  being told that the coaches think they have a conference contender and are coaching with a quiet excitement. Although, I'm not quite sure what quiet excitement is . It is good to know that Tim Beck is confident going into the season.
 
My point is that you had these sources last year and your post were just as positive as they are now. I have a good enough memory from 12 months ago and your sources and the coaches were very confident about the team last year and then we go and lose to Maryland.  You and inside sources did not warn us that the team was going to have big problems on offense.
 
I've never been a coach in football, however if I was a coach at UT and a major donor ask me how the team was going to do this year, I would look at them as my boss and I would be a positive about the team and season as possible. I'm not going to tell Red McCombs that this is a rebuilding year. 
 
I can assume we will beat Maryland with all their troubles and Tulsa, so we will have a good idea in a month when we play USC, I can wait to have quiet excitement about the team.

True, also read that Sam only played 1 maybe 2 series and was thought the staff new what he could do and wanted to give Shane and rising a chance to show out. We are probably reading the same material but I kinda like all the different opinions lol BUT anytime I see a donor TFB post I tend to believe it just a hair more.

I go by what I am told.  I trust my sources.  However, I have always said that info I get is truth mixed with personal opinion.  My guys are orange bloods to the core and, like all of us, are looking for optimistic nuggets for their own expectations.  But you can't really expect optimistic expectations to be etched in resulting granite.  That is a recipe for frustration and, in your case, skepticism.

Suffice to say - if the coaches are optimistic, I am optimistic.

As far as Maryland I have a few opinions.

1.  The turmoil at that program could be a disaster for them this year.  Or the team could fall out against us with redemption blood in their eyes.

Would that matter?  Yeah, college football is emotional and many a game has been won or lost because of it.

In addition, they are bringing back most of the offensive firepower that torched us last year.  That can't be ignored.

Will that matter?  Nope, and this is where the Koolaide comes into play.

It will be a close game through the first half.  In the second half, we will curb stomp them.  Thus activating the national media to anoint us as sleeper darlings and watch out for Texas.

That's my opinion.

You're already seeing calls for reinstatement of the HC by Maryland players. I don't know if thats for show or if its legit.

So yeah, that could be a rallying point and a way of seeing it as "us against the world."

I don't think they beat us, even if they were to find that as a rallying cause.

The media has left this story alone, in general terms, since it broke. Certainly not the same treatment as Ohio State is getting. Of course, that last round of revelations of Zach Smith was about as ugly as it gets.
