I took the time to break down a couple of Port Neches-Groves games for Inside Texas to break down Herman’s new QB commit Roschon Johnson. You can read my thoughts here. I think this may be intriguing for Texas and non-Texas fans alike as I discuss the nature of evaluating sophomores, the design of high … [Read more…]
Justin was out of commission this week so I recorded an Inside Texas podcast with Allen Kenney of Blatant Homerism and we talked about the new coaches at Texas and Oklahoma as well as our favorite frontrunners in the 2017 Big 12 race. Let me know what you think, maybe I’ll try to make more … [Read more…]
Big 12 media days are continuing and I’ve been watching what I can from back home. Yesterday we talked about the big questions for the defense, here are my big questions for the offenses across the Big 12.

It’s time for another twitter-bag! I took questions from Twitter users about this upcoming Big 12 season.
