That's clickbait. If Charlie trots Swoopes out there, he might as well pack his shit.

That'll be $9.95.


^^^^^^ Hit the nail on the head!^^^^^^^^^^

The quarterback situation seems pretty clear at this point, even if it doesn't make all that much sense to many. A good example of it not making sense to people was yesterday when I was at a birthday gathering that featured heavy Longhorn fan representation.

"Swoopes isn't really going to start, is he?" I replied that it appears most likely at this point, to which my wife almost spit out her beer.

[Kermit]

Charlie fucking with y'all.

[TFloss32]

Charlie fucking with y'all.

Even though I disagree with the logic, I can allow myself to believe Swoopes starts for reasons like he's the veteran, it will be a crazy environment, etc.

I can't allow myself to believe he gets more than two or three series before he's pulled.

There's no logic in that argument to allo of us who have seen him play when pressure is applied. I like Swoopes, think he's an incredible asset to the team, and works his ass off, but fuck getting fooled again.

Like I said, I disagree, but it's the only thing I can think of to try and understand the coaches' mindset.

Maybe it's like 2011 BYU. Remember that game?

Mack had to see Gilbert fail one last time before he replaced him for good.

However, if Swoopes gets significant time and sucks, UT won't be able to come back on Notre Dame.

This is what I'm believing as well, TFloss. Let's all remember that Buechele is a true FR and no matter who starts,
Swoopes was always going to get PT with the 18 wheeler package.

Let things calm down a bit before inserting him into the game. Everyone should temper their expectations instead of expecting him
to light the world on fire from day 1.

I can see the other side to the argument as well.

If you start Swoopes in order to protect Buechele, it wouldn't make sense to insert him in the game if Swoopes fails and Texas gets behind by a few scores.

I think we all expect Buechele to take over at some point this season, it's just unclear when that might be.

I have to think that if Swoopes does start then Strong has the support from his team. If the team believes in Swoopes , then they will rally around him. Shane has a different mindset than most freshman, but even he will feel the pressure of 100000 fans on his shoulders. That is a lot for anyone. I think it's kind of smart to ease him in to the system with packages during the game. I would do that as coach. Start with Swoopes with a run-heavy series or two, then let Shane have a couple. Game 2 though, you start Shane against UTEP and let him gain confidence.

I've seen the Swoopes show so many times, I'm expecting Buechele to start against UTEP.

The only question I have is how many series Swoopes gets against Notre Dame if it's clear he can't get it done.

Call scoreboard if you want on this one...as others have just said he will fail, again. Buechele is the QB, whether Swoopes starts at QB against ND or not.

[benefactor]

What I hate about this is the potential to mess with Swoopes' confidence. He's great at his role. I'd hate for him to fail again at starting QB and it shake him mentally.

[pgardn]

If Swoopes does not move the chains, and ND moves the ball at will like last year, we get killed again 1st game. I can see Swoopes getting a good portion of the game if the D holds up and he has some success in a low scoring game. ND has two QBs that can get it done so I don't anticipate us watching Swoopes overthrow another easy screen while we are down 14-0.

I really believe we must get 1st downs and we must take time off the clock. We are too young and thin on defense.

[DMX7]

Charlie has me fooled. I have no clue who he is going to start. If I had to guess, I would pick SB, but that may be more wishful thinking than anything.

All this madness really began with someones opinion while at a party with fellow Longhorns fans, hahahaa. I love how the line begins the "QB situation seems clear." Couldn't be further from the truth, I don't know that Gilbert and Strong have a clear idea on who to start at Notre Dame. I hope Shane gets the nod with some help from the 18 wheeler package. Shane has had the right mindset and blue collar mentality to earn the spot, whenever a freshman comes in and pushes a senior QB, of all people to work harder you know you have an issue. That tells you Swoopes and Heard were not taking the role as serious as necessary. Any time you've heard of glowing reviews from any of the QB's over the summer and fall camp it's been mostly in regards to Shane. I say we roll with him and let him learn as he goes it won't be easy but he's where our future lies, it's a good investment.

:cry bbbut he wasn't in the right system :cry

[Vito Corleone]

Right system, wrong system, doesn't matter.

What matters is right now we are going into a game at home against a top 10 team, and we (the fans) have no confidence in the probable starter.

I have no problem with Swoops starting, As long as he doesn't turn the ball over I think we should be okay. I do hope that if he isn't productive then we will bring in Shane.

If I were Strong, I would game plan to give Swoops the first two series and then turn it over to Shane for the next two. For both QBs I'd make my first play a play action bomb to Burt. Stretch out that defense and give our RBs the lanes to get some yardage.

Last of the big hitters sites 24/7 now saying Swoopes likely to start:

To begin detailing a situation with plenty of layers to it, I’ll start by noting that even though my sources have continued to tell me Buechele has been at least even with Tyrone Swoopes if not having outplayed him throughout fall camp it sounds like Buechele might not be the starter when the Longhorns open the season in 12 days against Notre Dame.

Strong is a defensive minded coach Kliff is a QB coach. Kliff sucks at producing a good defense, Strong sucks at coaching QBs. It's not surprising that Texas has struggled to produce a good QB. Strong relies on a assistant coach to develop a QB and to recruit one that can be great. Kliff relies on a DC and defensive staff to produce a good defense. Strong knows good defense and how to make one great, Kliff knows good QBs and how to make one great.

Do you see where I'm going with this.

And Strong hired a guy from the Briles family tree, so yea, I do see.

And remember, Stoops started the Leach Family tree as Leach was his OC the year he won the MNC.

Strong inherited a program with zero QBs, It would have been nice if Swoops were a better prospect or Heard for that matter but both were guys that were extremely raw, good athletic ability but just not passing QBs.

The fact that SB can come in as a true freshmen and push a senior and cause a junior to change positions tells you more about the two upper-class QBs than the freshmen.

Now with that said, It is all on Strong that he decided to bring in Watson as his OC when he was a failure at both Colorado and Nebraska. No one was more pissed about this than I was. I was already concerned about Strong taking over a program like Texas as he might be a bit over his head, but Watson almost proved my point.

At this point, I still say the jury is still out on Strong, but we shall see. If he isn't the guy you can bet Herman is available as a replacement.

Depends on your definition of family tree, but being the OC doesn't necessarily mean you got your start from the HC. Leach had his system before going to OU and really it is more traced back to Mumme than Stoops. Also Briles was a Leach assistant, Kingsbury a Leach QB and Gilbert a Briles Assistant, so..... it all basically traces back to Hal.

You want to trace to where they learned their basics not necessarily who the coached under.

Small tree. UT could have done better imo but it's a start I guess.

Well no, Leach coached Tim Couch up at Kentucky before that.

They better hope Swoopes doesn't crater and it's a close game because if Charlie thinks his seat got hot last season...

Not sure why he'd name a starter a week before the game after he's already said he won't publicly name a starter.

I'm not seeing anything from Finger that states that's what's definitely happening.

The problem is if Swoopes gonna Swoopes, you need to get him out before you go down double digits.

"It's their location, the education, coach Strong, all the coaching staff," Ealy said. "And the way they text me, giving me love."

"I'm going to have to go with Texas," Ealy said. "I know Notre Dame has a good on d-line but I think they're young. Texas has had some injuries, but I think Texas' skill players are still better than Notre Dame."

Who do our board members think will start at QB for UT? Shane or Ty? I think it's going to be Shane because CS insists both players will play and it doesn't make sense to start Ty and then randomly bring in Shane, but it does make sense to start Shane and still use Ty in the 18 Wheeler Package. That and some other reasons make me think it's Shane. But I could be totally wrong.

For all the home games?

I know some faculty. They get about 100 dollars off on tickets in the alumni section (Most faculty are not rich folks). A number of those guys kinda owe me and I turned down a ND ticket. If you want to go to another game and can't find a ticket and don't mind sitting with faculty in the alumni section I might be able to hook you up. PM me for other games if you want. I don't normally go as I like watching from the TV so I can curse. And you might have to behave yourself if you are a screamer.

I hate it when alumni tickets go unused. Although this ND ticket most likely found a home. I have been offered away games as well but there are some places you don't want to go.

Recent quotes from five-star LB Baron Browning of Kennedale (24/7):

“I’m excited for it (senior season),” Browning said. “I’m trying to reach some of the goals that I set last year. I didn’t get all of them, so I want to do that this year. From a defensive perspective, we know what buttons we have to push to get everything right.”

“I don’t have a list right now,” Browning said. “I’m just chilling, to be honest. I’m still trying to figure out all my officials. You only get five, so I’m trying to figure everything out with my parents.”

“I talked to Coach BJ a few days ago,” Browning said. “He just said he’s going to hit me up a lot more. He was getting the guys ready for the season. Coach Jennings has been hitting me up, too. Usually, Coach Strong hits me up the most, but he’s getting ready for the season, so I’m not worried about it.”

“I want to see how they match up against a good school like Notre Dame,” Browning said. “It will be a good matchup. I’m pretty excited to see it. I think Texas has a good team, but they just have to be consistent."

“When Coach Strong first came in, those guys weren’t the ones he recruited. It’s more so just trying to find a way to get everybody to click. I think everyone is coming together, and they’ll have a good season. Rome wasn’t built in one day.”
