Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[BruiseLee]

Wasn't it IT who said Sanders was coming back?

My response to the original post was an attempt at pointing out that I don't believe Sark is going to take a TE off the field because Sanders declared.

Helm is obviously not Sanders, but I think he'll be used regularly and do well.

I get it. It will be hard to replace Sanders. Texas will do two or more to replace Sanders. They will continue to do the replacement in-line TE.

Negative.

Texas had 85 players on rosterformost of the season. When Ross left went to 84

We don’t need to replace Sanders with a TE we will replace him with another receiving threat. We have horses waiting their time and that time is now. Worthy was the main passing focus for three straight years I believe that if Cook or Wingo gets that same focus they will be more productive. Moore, Niblet, Butler, Golden, Dubose, Livingstone are more than capable of replacing what we are losing. I honestly believe we will be better next year. I love JWhitt and AD but they are not irreplaceable. We have been loading up with playmakers and now they get their chance.

Golden will be a boss in Sark’s offense

Dude even looks like a LB coach don’t he?!

This is Sark simply improving the team. If he has anything to say to PK, he would just say it. The same thing was said when GP was here. No need for hidden messages.

Great hire. Will help strengthen California recruiting and also help bring in those Polynesian kids.

do you mean the Samoan kids....the term Polynesian isn't derogatory but I will tell you from a personal perspective, those of us with affiliations from the island countries dont like the term

Well maybe we'll disagree on this one. I too have a deep affiliation to the islands, Polynesia and Micronesia. A lot of my friends from those islands call themselves "Poly". Many of them come from mixed races Samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian, Fijian, etc..

So, yes, I mean Polynesian. I don't just want to recruit Samoan kids, but all those mentioned above as well

Choate was the same kind of hire. Work here a couple of years and move up the food chain.

Andrew Beck has probably scored more TD in season than all time was at Texas.

Holy crap....they're broke

I never said he would take a TE off the field. I said he would look for a playmaker not just try and make the TE a playmaker.
I have nothing against Helm but if you think he will give us what Sanders did you’ve lost your mind.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he is the featured back next year. He is so damn fun to watch

 

[Billybass]

That fumble in the playoff game was a killer

Yea, he wasn’t the only one though. He made more huge plays for Texas in that game then to highlight a fumble.

True. He is an electric player. I guess I’m still mourning the loss
