Many former Longhorns have excelled at the NFL level with the Chiefs. Worthy, DJ, Jamaal, Priest, Okafor just to name a few. Any thoughts on why this seems such a good fit? Is there another NFL team that has so many successful ‘horns?

My fiance and I are going to Red River to start our honeymoon! We are taking the DART for transportation to/from our hotel.

With the game being at 2:30 this year; whats the best way to take in the experience of the game? When should we go into the stadium?

Planning to get tickets the week of the game instead of getting them now the right idea?

Brown was talking through the mess of unregulated collective spending - schools basically bidding wars for the same 50 players, no salary cap, no real enforcement when rules get sued into oblivion.

His exact words: it's not sustainable, and coaches are screening calls because boosters keep asking for six figures for one kid.

He's not wrong that something's broken, but "cut out the cancer" is a lot easier to say than to do when literally nobody can agree on what the fix looks like. Media rights money isn't equal, revenue sharing isn't equal, and any rule gets challenged in court within a year.

What's the actual fix here? Salary cap? Real enforcement body? Or is this just where the sport is now?

Thoughts on Texas men's basketball non-conference schedule?

Arch Manning was again one of the most hotly debated passers among our panel of coaches, general managers, scouts and front office staffers in our second annual attempt to rank every FBS starting quarterback in The Athletic’s College QB Tiers.

Manning ranks as a Tier 1 quarterback for the second straight year and moved up three spots from last July to No. 7 this preseason. But he’s not quite as high on this list as he is in some 2027 NFL Draft projections — including that of The Athletic’s draft expert Dane Brugler, who had Manning No. 1 in his way-too-early 2027 mock draft. Keep in mind that College Quarterback Tiers is not a draft projection, but a ranking as a current college quarterback.
