Mack Brown's Press Conference Transcript
Mack's press conferences are really not aimed at me but given the wholesale changes we've seen in staff accountability, conditioning, talent identification/recruitment and physicality, I thought I would dip into this one to see what Mack had to say. Also, it's the off season we need something to...
Meet the New Insider: The CDO
We'd like to welcome a new friend to the Carnival, an insider we shall call The CDO, or Collateralized Debt Obligation. It's what sunk our nation's economy and it's also what will restore your faith in the Longhorns. Derivatives are complicated like that. If you are familiar with The Asset, let's...
Project 2013: Ricky Seals-Jones
For the last two years, part of my job has been to watch a young man's YouTube highlights and assess his ability to play college football. I'm far from the hardened, white-haired veteran, two days from retirement, but it still takes a lot to lift my eyebrow. It takes something like a 6'5, 220 pound...
The New Texas Recruiting Strategy
So we all get what's happening now, right? Slower plays, decisive early moves only on elite recruits, deeper dives in scouting and player evaluations, more focus on what players might be instead of what they currently are, staff mechanisms to hold each other accountable instead of offense/defense...

Potpourri
Item 1 How bad was Texas recruiting on the offensive side of the ball from 2006 to 2009? This bad. In that period Texas recruited 40 offensive players, a number 50% larger than the defense had (27). Here is what an offense made up of the best 11 recruits from that era looks like: WR John...
Attrition Watch – Thursday Update
Taylor Bible and Darius White have left the building ... shocker. We'll sign 28-29 in this class meaning there's more attrition to come. Thurs afternoon update: Add Mark Buchanan, Dravantti Johnson, Blaine Irby, and Jamison Berryhill to the list of guys that won't be returning. Irby could have...
Mondays In The Humidor With The Big Cigar
This episode of the Humidor happened on a Monday in November. We sat on the information because we’re fans and didn’t want to derail or distract from what has turned out to be a pretty damn productive season coming off of 5-7. Were it not for some injuries and transfers, we’d be looking at 10...
Practice Report From The Asset (Updated W/ Thursday Tidbit)
I know that Humidors and Big Cigars are on everyone’s mind at this point but first things first. We have a ball game with the Baylor Bears this weekend, gents. And, it’s an important one. Texas is trying to win the staff’s predicted 8th game and we’re trying to deny RGIII the Heisman trophy that...
