Texas opens up the checkbook for DC Todd Orlando

[starbigd]

4th string, that's a stretch. He was probably going to crack the 2 deep, lets not kid ourselves this one kinda hurts.

He was running with the 4s in spring practice.......he was clearly out of favor with the coaches. He was routinely in the non performing group scale that Herman uses.

His talent is there.......his head apparently wasn't. It hurts our depth.......that's about it. He wasn't producing on the field, this pain you feel is on PAPER

You heard it here first. Kansas is the most improved and wins 3 Big 12 games this year. I'm going with Texas Tech, Baylor and Iowa State as their wins. And another 3-4 close games they lose.

But, WTF do I know. I had Sparty winning the B1G East last year.

Kansas might even beat TCU and one other team too! They always play TCU close...even when Kansas has been real shitty.

2016 TCU 24 Kansas 23
2015 TCU 23 Kansas 17
2014 TCU 34 Kansas 30
2013 TCU 27 Kansas 17
2012 TCU 20 Kasas 6

Not sure whether that is Kansas playing good or TCU just not being ready to play.

Yeah, it sucks for Tech. But until Tech learns to tackle something other than air they are going to have a hard time winning much. And I may be in the minority but I think it is more lack of talent defensively than coaching. They've had a revolving door of DCs until this last one and none of 'em have succeeded at Tech. They need to recruit some nastiness on defense...even if that creates some off the field issues. They've got more than enough nice guys IMHO.

yep - I'll prob catch some grief for sayin this,
but i look for kansas to be the most improved B12 team -

Tech's D will be improved
(we brought in some juco transfers)
but our o-line still looked porous
in our spring game
and of course we lost mahomes,
so our offense could take a step back -
oh well -
Guns Up, anyway!!

I agree. Even if they lose several games I'm thinking they'll at least be in the games.

Hmmm, I wonder where Tupperware lived while he coached Texas Tech. I live about 85 miles from Lubbock. I'm in Lubbock all the time and I've never seen anything even close to this around Lubbock!

This is what Lubbock looks like.

If that doesn't strike fear in your own teams offense, nothing will.

When Texas plays Baylor here in Waco in late October it could possibly decide a whole lot when it comes to competing for the Big 12 title. It won't be an easy game for Texas.

I'm not saying that Oklahoma won't be right up there but between Baylor and Texas one of them legitimately could be competing for the Big 12 title. OU, OSU, Baylor, and UT are the teams I predict will round out the top four in the conference. Where they ultimately end up we won't know until the fall. Baylor plays Oklahoma in Waco in September and so you cant write that off.
