You obviously have me confused with Freddie Mercury 

And, as far as similar positions, we are probably closer to the 2003 team than we are the 2004 team at this point. With the $64,000 question being, does the 2023 team reach the level of the 2004 team or does it exceed that level?

I can agree with that.

Here, let me blow your mind a moment. lol

The 2005 Texas roster was indeed talented. However, the team wasn't so talented across the board. For example, the WR room was hardly anything to brag about. There was a reason David Thomas, a TE, was our best receiver.

I'd venture to say Johntay Cook, a WR who has yet to play a down here, would likely start for that 2005 team.

Vince carried that team. We had good role players and some surrounding talent. Thomas is a great example. The OL is a great example as well. But Vince HAD to take matters into his own hands because of our deficiencies at WR and RB.

 

 

R. Taylor might have made an NFL roster had it not been for his legal issues.  I thought Charles was on that team.  No?

That was his true freshmen season. He and Ramonce accounted for 43 yards that game. He was impactful but not spectacular. 

Top WRs Limas Sweed and Billy Pittman. Vince and David Thomas were the two best skill players big time.

I think Charles was on that team. He made me forget about Adrian Peterson.

He was the Big 12 freshman of the year in the 2005 season.

This would be a great game in Austin. But the game in Tuscaloosa gives the Alabama a big advantage.

Well at least we won’t have the Big 12 refs

This sounds nuts at face value, but there seems to be an anticipation for next season just like after the 2004 Rose Bowl. I'm not saying the results will be the same as then, but the excitement is tangible.

[Eastexhorn]

Good for USC took down the tree huggers. Should help in Dirictors Cup.

Has anyone heard anything about SEC scheduling once Texas and 0u join? I thought that would happen this month.

The SEC spring meeting starts next Tuesday in Destin. Both Texas and ou are sending their presidents, athletic directors, and senior women's administrators to the meeting although they will not be able to vote on anything. 

Remains to be seen if scheduling gets addressed next week.

247 reporting Sark has his new special assistant to replace Patterson, and he's also a big defensive guy.

Kind of underwhelming. Did we hire him away from Portland State or was he relieved of his duties?
