The other place is awesome today.
No, trust me.
LoneStarLive DOT com’s run is coming to an end.
Good while it lasted, proud of the work we did.

Here’s why the Texas resume is fascinating.
Seven Quadrant 1 wins should absolutely get you in, but most of their metrics otherwise, including a 12-15 effective record and a horrid NC SOS, should absolutely leave you out.
No correct answer, per se, when that’s the resume.
NEW: Texas is done at the SEC Tournament.
It is now left to wait and scoreboard watch at 19-15 overall, with seven Quadrant 1 wins and blah metrics.
Attention turns to bubble-related matters this evening in the ACC and the Mountain West.

Memphis and Wichita State are about to tip in the AAC quarters.
Wrote this morning that Texas fans should be paying attention to the American, because if someone other than Memphis wins it, it's going to be a problem:

NEW: It’s Friday, Texas is through to the SEC quarters, and is right at the NCAA Tournament cutline.
Where things stand, what’s coming, and why Texas fans need to pay close attention to the AAC Tournament:

Texas fans should be rooting for Marquette right now against Xavier.
Musketeers are exceptionally bubbly, absolutely need a win here to get in.
NEW: When Texas opens spring practice March 25, a handful of depth chart guys will not be full participants due to injury.
Chief among the absences: Redshirt sophomore running back CJ Baxter, who continues his way back from an August knee injury

The notion Steve Sarkisian wouldn’t leave Texas because Arch Manning is the QB is flat incorrect.

NEW: NFL teams coming to talk to Steve Sarkisian in the wake of 25-4 and two CFP semis since 2023 came as no surprise.
Sarkisian opted to balk, parlaying the whole thing to another contract extension.
Here's what he said today when I asked about it: www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/fo...
NEW: Texas is among the P4 teams opting to not have a spring game next month.
While other coaches like Matt Rhule cited potential tampering, Steve Sarkisian put a pin in that factor, and instead leaned on other reasoning.
www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/fo...
NEW: A few brief highlights from Steve Sarkisian's pre-spring presser include Arch Manning taking over, a nothing answer on declining NFL interest back in January, and more:
www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/fo...
Sarkisian: "Four of five guys who wont participate early in spring."
Derek Williams, CJ Baxter, DeAndre Moore, Colton Vasek will not fully participate.
Others will be limited.
Sarkisian: Move to NFL-style OTAs is a "philosophical change."
27 new players showed up in January, 22 of them from high school. Everyone needs to get acclimated, on the same page.
Sarkisian offered a VERY long preamble here.
Big takeaway: Defended not having a spring game, went on to say it's not about the fear of tampering.
Spring is upon us.
Steve Sarkisian coming up at 11:30, first meeting with the local hacks since the Cotton Bowl.
I guess this is the place to be today………

NEW/ Texas’ final SEC availability report late this afternoon was clean, so junior guard Chendall Weaver is indeed available tonight after missing 15 straight with a hip.
Weaver has been out since Jan. 7:

NEW: Xavier Worthy was arrested in Williamson County yesterday on a third-degree felony for assaulting a family member.
Worthy remains in custody, and per jail records, has not posted bond
Former All-Big 12, just finished his rookie year with the Chiefs: www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/fo...
NEW: A stacked day of college basketball includes a bubble-as-bubble-gets matchup between Texas and Oklahoma.
We’re up early with a live post, starting with a couple of notes.
www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/me...
NEW: Texas coach Rodney Terry didn't definitively say Chendall Weaver would be available tomorrow night vs. Oklahoma, but he sure did indicate it.
Weaver appears set to return after missing 15 games with a hip injury.
SEC injury report is out at 7 p.m.: www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/me...
Texas coach Rodney Terry says Chendall Weaver will play tomorrow night against Oklahoma.
Has been out since the early minutes of a Jan. 7 loss to Auburn with a hip injury.
NEW: It can't be overstated that everything is at stake tomorrow night when Texas hosts Oklahoma.
The season is on the line, and Rodney Terry's tenure is very much under a microscope.
That, plus two more thoughts as the regular season comes to a close:

NEW: Can Texas drag itself to the NCAA Tournament?
Horns got one they had to have at Mississippi State, but the conversation can't fully begin unless they beat Oklahoma on Saturday night.
A look at the bubblicious situation in Austin: www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/me...
NEW: If the Texas women win their SEC Tournament quarterfinal Friday night, it’ll be win No. 30, and that’s not an every-year thing for most teams.
Thirty matters, and head coach Vic Schaefer agreed when asked about that mark the other day.
www.lonestarlive.com/longhorns/me...
Texas is 7-13 against the first two quadrants, is 6-11 against the SEC, has lost six of eight, and has a non-con SOS of 352.
Three hundred fifty-two
Most losses ever by an at-large team: 14, which has occurred 11x.
Horns are 18-13, and well on the wrong side of a bad bubble.
NEW: As Michael Taaffe was nearing an NFL Draft decision, he sought some counsel.
It is no surprise he leaned on a teammate, who he counts as a close friend who was in a similar situation last year.
