He'll be moving to Austin in May, but he's not sure what date yet.

Thursday team notes from Hamilton at OTF.

Insider team notes: Thursday

The Longhorns are not practicing today, but will return to the field Friday for practice. So on this off day for the team, thought it would be a great time to deliver a few notes OnTexasFootball has picked up in recent days. * Trey Moore has been talked about the top/best pass rusher on the team ...

These are the Cotton Bowl improvements:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/c...n-in-its-84-years-what-s-changing/ar-BB1kGSna

The highly anticipated renovations focus on enhancements to the visitor experience including:

• The addition of 14 new escalators
• Construction of new multi-story entries at the two west entrance gates
• The upper west concourse will be increased to three times the current square footage and include two outdoor terraces with views of downtown Dallas.
• The main concourse on the west side of the stadium will be doubled in size, featuring new art deco artwork to augment the venue’s classic style.
• Restrooms and concession stands will get a makeover and more will be added
• Creation of new premium seating environments and a newly expanded press area in the South endzone
• Improving the in-stadium Wi-Fi signal

Other renovations are planned for the surrounding Fair Park, including a privately funded Community Park Complex and upgrades to the Music Hall at Fair Park and the African-American Museum.

Are any of these really a big deal?

Didn't he play his way from a 3* to a 4* last season? I bet he is not done developing.

I think I was referring to those specific improvements because I have doubts the public will even notice much based on the description. So many don't read news today so they'll never really know.

But I do. agree about the "everyone gets a prize' thing. Just wrong.

Now, we have metal bleachers. They're not as comfortable as the oak plank type. This was a great development for those who manufactured stadium seats.

He was responding to a post I made about the Cotton Bowl improvements, back about 5-6 posts I think. I listed them and linked it.

It was a lot of money for not a lot of splash, IMO. Plus, not all of that money is going to the Cotton Bowl.
