Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

I don't want Manning to be a main feature of the running game. He will not last long that way. Just run when you have to. And slide a lot.

What Sha said. If arch is running enough to get 1000 yards we had a lot of other issues.

So the actual prediction in the article is that he outrushes Ehlinger - 663 yards.

If we have a 15 game season, that would be 45 yards a game. I could see that happening. Though, he had 750 career rushing yards in high school.

I do agree, no way he gets to 1000 - no one wants that.

Yea, probably a safe bet that Arch will not be a main feature of the running game.

I don't follow pro football but a buddy of mine does he said JW didn't play much this year. If true, how'd he make it? Special teams?

The brackets did not reflect an actual 1-12 ranking.

But IMHO they should have, thus the reason of bracket play. However, as they say, it is what it is.

Conference champions should always be AQ's

AQs yes but they shouldn't be gauranteed a top 4 seed. Would have worked last year - Texas, Bama, Michigan and Washington but it was a mess this year with Boise and Arizona State

Cody Carpentier (Orangebloods) reporting that Jaydon Blue is no longer on the Shrine Bowl roster and did not show up for the first practice there.

No other details.

I didn't say that and I agree with you.

I hope that Arch doesn't have to rush for 1000 yards. He is extremely talented, but his talent is not best utilized by running him 15 to 20 times per game. Even Ellinger got beat up doing that.

Correct. Special teams ace for them. Also played really well the first month of the season when Kupp and Puka were hurt. Had a bunch of catches but was WR5 once they came back.

All I'm doing is reposting interesting tweets regarding the Longhorns. I figure the scrambles per game are a +/- 3.5 and maybe 2 designed run plays not including QB sneaks.

Thought this was very cool:

Get ready for a new and exciting documentary coming to Netflix this March, as the streaming giant unveils an exclusive look at one of the most iconic college marching bands in the country – the Texas Longhorns Marching Band. The documentary will dive into the rich history, behind-the-scenes moments, and the dedication it takes to be a part of this prestigious band

That's a crazy amount of money going in and out. 7 million "profit" is about 2% which is very little. Particularly when you consider that they will soon be paying out 20 million to the athletes.

I wonder if the BIG12 100 million buyout is part of that, and if so if that's all done, or if they somehow spread it out.

 

[Baron]

I will take the over.
