Can I really be happy today after a loss last night? Oh heck yes because we have the one thing we've been missing since 2009 -- a QB with an actual skill set. I cannot for the life of me see how Shawn Watson did not see this. The guy has been a college coach for some time, yet he could not see the Heard has "it" and Swoopes does not. Swoopes is by all accounts a terrific kid, but just because he wears the same uniform size as VY doesn't mean he is VY. The UT coaches past and present did this kid a huge disservice. Mack burned his redshirt and hardly played him, then Charlie should have moved him to TE in the spring after that disastrous end of season performance.
All that said, it's great to be a Longhorn today. We have a QB who others will want to play with. We already have a great group of WRs committed to go with Burt, Foreman, etc. Hopefully Clarington enrolls at semester and is the TE we've needed for years. Our OL will only get better with experience.
Defensively we have a lot of work to do and we seem to be losing kids to other programs. Hopefully Charlie can flip a few of these kids because that is where we need the most help right now, on that side of the ball.
I hate to lose, but damn if I'm not just a little giddy today. Hook'em and #LetsridetheHeard
