Violantis hasn’t been all that efficient this season. Teams have been able to work his count up quickly. Then you’re at the mercy of a sporadic bullpen.

Borba was the A&Ms MVP. Another ugly Friday night.

They definitely have a focus issue. They only perform under urgency it seems. They’ll drop mid weeks, Friday nights, and huge leads in the 9th. When they turn it on though, they’re tough to beat.

These pasty nerds are taking it to us.

A peck is common welcome in many cultures. You can’t explain away backshots in the dugout.

Oklahoma, Little UT, and Aggy have all been first round exits. No wins. Who cares?

They were pretty close in 2012 as well. Slaughtered Miami. Beat OU & Texas. Then got blown out by one of Art Briles Post RG3 teams. Art Briles at Baylor is another interesting coach study. 2015 Baylor was one of the best squads that never was. They were absolutely loaded with NFL talent and had an innovative run based offense. I think a dozen guys on that team had season ending injuries and they still managed to win 10 games, not to mention a bowl win over North Carolina where they ran exclusively out of wildcat.

I’m a younger guy, but I was a somewhat conscious college football fan towards the tail end of Snyders run at K-State. They won with a similar dynamic to Indiana. They utilized the Kansas JUCO farm system to inject developed experienced players into the system, barely recruiting HS guys. Very well coached, few penalties, run the frick out the ball. They weren’t just feasting on Big12 North teams, they were beating OU & Texas. They were scheduling USC, Miami, etc. Snyder never could quite reach the national title game though, he’d always drop a game he shouldn’t have to prevent a berth. Which is a more impressive turnaround? 16-0 at Indiana has to be the all-time greatest.

Heard he wasn’t too happy in College Station and Texas had holes to fill. They’re not paying this kid much.

You could count on one hand any HS recruited OOS kid from the South that have played significant snaps for Texas in Sarks tenure. You wouldn’t even need all five fingers.

What can be done at this point? What would it take to provide some structure? Some of the best lawyers in the world have analyzed Texas’s contract stuff, if they don’t have teeth, I assume none of them do. Is there any tangible band-aids? Some of my favorite Longhorns of recent memory probably wouldn’t have been recruited by Texas or been retained long enough to make an impact. Alfred Collins, 5th year senior late bloomer, one of the best young IDL in the NFC. Jahdae Barron, Thorpe winner, was buried on the depth chart at times. Tvondre Sweat, took multiple years to get his body right, probably wouldn’t have finished a Longhorn. Byron Murphy, probably wouldn’t be offered by Texas in the current climate. The list goes on and on. Texas will thrive in any circumstance, but I’m a college football fan first.
