As for the divisions, I wonder if they're waiting until after Texas and OU leave the conference before doing anything with that. I get that. Probably smart once Texas and OU leave. It's just strange that this season, a team could play an easier schedule, win 1 more game than an opponent who played a MUCH tougher schedule, and they're sitting at home. I guess this season threw a wrench in things so they're doing what they have to do. Maybe they'll come up with a better system. Like winning percentage and opponent's winning percentage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Watts/Brooks/Holmes is a good trio at CB with maybe Muhammed as your #4? Barron is one of the best NB in the country and if Catalon is healthy all year then yeah, you have to like the potential of this secondary. I think Burke and Tapp can provide a pass rush and believe the staff is thinking this as well since Ovie may have been encouraged to look around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping precisely this happens in OU or UT's favor. I'd tolerate a 'Horn conference title if it somehow screws over the conference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're gonna have the best 2 records play for the title and they don't all play the same teams/schedule? While I sense your sarcasm, I personally liked the 10 team conference. But money talks.

There is always hype but seems like more are expecting Texas to win the Big12 and contend for a playoff spot. There is no reason why this team shouldn't end up in the CCG. The talent is there and the scheme. Sark just needs to remember his own mantra in the second half, All Gas No Brakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an IT membership or maybe just an On3 you can go to this link to hear what Sankey had to say: https://www.on3.com/news/greg-sankey-details-sec-scheduling-division-models-with-addition-of-texas-oklahoma/ For those of you who don't I'll try to paraphrase. The single division model seems to be the choice. Rotating teams more quickly through the schedule so 12 years don't elapse before a home and home is completed. Using a 1+7 or 3+6 model. Balance and fairness of the scheduling considering a single division while trying to preserve as many traditional rivalries. The goal is to make these decisions as soon as possible before the Destin meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 The guys over at Inside Texas seem to be really stoked about what they are seeing during the media windows. It has been a while since that occurred. According to them, Edge is the only question mark on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I think the potential is definitely there for this Texas team. There are more questions on defense with Edge and WLB being the biggest. The offense just has to make sure the Qb and Wr are on the same page. No one will replace Bijan but I think Brooks will give Texas plenty and from reports the offense will spread it out more and let Quinn throw it around. Excited to hear how the spring goes for the passing game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burke is still a situational player this season. Tapp has the potential to break out. Sorrell stands in the way of one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearEmaGrowlin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 UT looked really good during parts of last night’s game against Colgate, but let them battle back to within 9 two separate times in the second half. In March Madness, a win is a win and you advance. Texas could’ve won that game by 40 had they not committed multiple turnovers in two or three possessions in succession. That’s ok, because you look at the clock with 2:30 remaining and UT was up by 20 again. We’ll see if this is the year UT can win its first basketball national championship! P.S. Cowboys, please trade up and draft Bijan!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carr cleans up his lackadaisical passing this team is much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
