‘23 LA QB Arch Manning (Texas commit)

[VolFreakJosh]

Oklahoma is poised for 8-4 every season. Period.

Texas is and has always been a sleeping giant.

Tamu is little brother.

Tennessee has always been the biggest sleeping giant in all of college football.

If we had good leadership after Fulmer got fired, we’d still be winning 9-10 games every year.

Unfortunately, stupidity in the administration office and multiple bad hires set us back. Thank goodness we have some competent people running things now.

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's hard not to be overrated when people are expecting Vince Young 2.0 at Texas.

They gonna be highly disappointed. Vince is one of the greatest to ever do it, at the college level, generational; they don't just grow on trees, no matter the stars coming out of HS.

But, yeah, that's exactly what Texas is expecting. No pressure, kid.

And that’s what I’d worry about most if I were a Texas fan.

This kid is expected to win multiple championships and go down as the greatest player to ever wear the uniform before he even plays his first game.

If he lays an egg then what…

Mac Engel: Texas either added Chris Simms 2.0, or found its true savior in the latest Manning

When Mack Brown signed Chris Simms in 1999, he was the highest-rated QB recruit to walk the earth. With Simms, Texas was going to win a national title.

In three seasons as the starting quarterback in Austin, Simms was good. He wasn’t great. Texas never won a national title or played for one.

In his junior and senior years, UT finished a combined 22-4 with wins in the Holiday Bowl and Cotton Bowl.

In 2003, Vince Young came to town.

I was actually talking about Ewers, a Texas kid, born and raised. Way more pressure on him, imo.

He played the system, grabbing the 1 million plus bag from Ohio State to go there without having to play a game. Finessed them for a bag, showed up to Austin, and it's big boy football now.

 

[onevol74]

A&M and Texas and OU will be running the SEC at the end of this decade book it

Totally agree. They will out bid the rest of the conference for players. Bama’s game is over.

Good for him.

 

[BigSteve09]

Good for him.

Don't disagree

 

[EricberryFAN]

Best news is that we don’t have to see Peyton wearing Georgia or bama colors to a game like ole miss fans had to see Archie wearing orange in the mid 90s

True but him wearing burnt orange will still sting.

His NIL deal was paid from a Texas source.

The one that he took to reclassify so he could attend OSU sooner?

Or the one to get back to Texas?

Yes

Running and ruining I guess would be the appropriate two words

WHO CARES ? HAD RATHER HAVE NICO !!!!

So Young gets to be considered one of the best to ever do it because of 1 year?

 

[SJAVol32]

Yes

 

[SugarCC]

So Young gets to be considered one of the best to ever do it because of 1 year?

Is this for real?

 

[Dudley Smith]

I do think there is a hall of fame place for one year supernova players, even if their career body of work may not stack up. Think VY, Cam Newton, Joe Burrow. Guys who for one year were the best player on the field every game. And Vince Young was pretty good in 2004 as well.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Is this for real?

Yes. He literally had 1 great year. I realize Burrow did as well but Burrow absolutely slaughtered the record books.

 

[WBO]

This is a huge shot to Lane Kiffen. They hoped the Manning connection to Ole Miss would carry the day. Peyton was the only Manning not to play there. Imagine how devastated we would be if another 5 star Delong came along and picked Georgia.

But the Mannings wouldn't be impressed with Lane's mouth.

 

[CAVPUT]

Just love the way ESPN is gushing over Arch and Texas. You'd think Texas is going to win 4 straight natty's and Arch will be college footballs first 4 time heisman winner. Nico who??

 

[RDU VOL#14]

True but him wearing burnt orange will still sting.

Better seeing him against a team that we never play than him wearing Crimson or potentially being the 5 ️ QB that finally works for Kirby. I have zero problems with him going to Texas.

Modern day Ron Powlus.

 

[Special Ed]

Archibald Manning has always seemed way over-hyped to me.
I'm very pleased we landed Nico instead.
