Christian Jones explains the culture shift that's taken place at UT, since Steve Sarkisian's arrival.
Christian begins rookie minicamp this week.

Just to be clear, Texas beat K-State and Iowa State last year. Maybe it’s more about going into a conference with other schools that also have a national brand and not hoping to play on Thursday nights just to get a primetime slot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you weren't suppose to talk about money on these recruiting trips?

Despite reports by some folks to the contrary, Steve Sarkisian still expected to be next Texas coach, according to two high-ranking UT officials as of 2:15 this afternoon.
BREAKING: I'm told that Steve Sarkisian is expected to add long-time college recruiting coordinator and professional scout Bill Rees to his football staff. More at .

“We don’t have a revenue problem in college sports, we have a spending problem.” - A&M AD Trev Alberts. Probably not the smartest thing to say if you want to keep high performers in your organization, be they players or coaches.
1) I do not think the leak was a CDC directive. I am pretty certain who it was (it was not Chris). 2) I don't think I went soft on Jim at all. I laid out all the facts and I'll let the readers decide.

That’s not bragging which is what makes the deputy commissioner sound like even more of a knucklehead. Texas helped form the Big 12 when Nebraska was the king of the college football world. Texas doesn’t back down from that sort of stuff. Ever. It’s also why Texas schedules
Coach Gates: "If we score in 4 plays, we will have a pizza party tomorrow". Kids get excited.
John Turntine:"Coach we are going to score in one play".
Coach Gates: starts smiling "BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
1st play 70 yard touchdown 🤦🏿♂️
My hat is off to the Jamail Family. Their selflessness is an act of generosity that clearly was motivated to bring all Longhorns together. No two deserve the recognition more.

BREAKING: Four-Star CB Santana Wilson tells me he has Committed to Texas!
The Top 90 Player in the ‘24 Class chose the Longhorns over Texas A&M, Tennessee, & Oklahoma.
“This was my destiny to be great. Now it’s time to go do it.”
Texas RB CJ Baxter injured his knee today in practice. We’re told that Baxter did not hear a pop, which is encouraging, but that he will still have an MRI to determine the severity.
Sorry but Aggies can never seem to understand why they don’t get the respect nationally they think they deserve. This is why they often don’t get that respect.
Correction: UGa has submitted Evans’ paperwork to the NCAA per two 247Sports sources. As a reminder, LOI’s bind a player to the school, not the school to the player. And he has signed with UGa.

I can’t believe Ohio State hired A&M’s Ross Björk as AD and Bill O’Brien as OC on consecutive days. Clearly Houston Aggie BMDs don’t mix with Ohio State BMDs.
Like when Texas won the last SWC championship and the first Big 12 one? Texas is always looking to up the ante. This is no different. The idea that Texas “prefers” to lose to one team over another is just a special kind of dumb.
The Texas Longhorns are well represented at the Under Armour All-American Game:
-Daniel Cruz (OL)
-Colin Simmons (EDGE)
-Kobe Black (CB)
-Jerrick Gibson (RB)
-Xavier Filsaime (S)
-Zina Umeozulu (EDGE)
-Jordon Johnson-Rubell (S)
