Ty Summers will consume ball carriers this fall.

"What did you tell the recruits to buy in this year?"

Early signing period has been interesting. We're excited about the class, the Dakota thing on Netflix was huge, very visible.

What's the Dakota thing on Netflix?

"State of the Baylor Athletic Program... Concern about losing membership in the BXII, was that ever a topic of discussion?"

I'm not going to get into the specifics of the Baylor situation, we're doing a verification, but not an investigation. We've already said publicly that we'll submit a written report when we're done.

-- I don't think he liked that question.

He does not like any question that exposes him for not effectively doing his job.

Coach Bro running a bit late so we're being subjected to a nonstop loop of the Tech fight song... kill me now.

Had to iron his skinny jeans?

 

[Mean Purple]

No opening statement from Coach, right into questions....

Did he start by handing out a copies of his resume?

 

[Limp Lizard]

Even crazier, Jaelan Austin's numbers are not far behind.

I never could find any public results about the Night of Champions...do you know where I could find them?

GP also said Sewo is up to 240 lbs! One thing that Sewo has shown this first two years is a great work ethic.

It's obviously great that Austin has good workout numbers, but I think his biggest drawback is speed and quickness.

Not sure on results, but on theAthletic.com Jaelan was actually ranked ahead of Sewo and DA on Bruce Feldman's 'Freak List'. His numbers on there had Austin at a squat of 780, bench of 450 and cleaned 420. Looking at him I don't see how that's possible but I guess that's why they call them freaks.

For reference, Sewo was at 770 squat /425 bench /460 clean running a 4.49 and DA was 700 and 440 bench, running a 4.39

Does anyone have a copy of the TCU roster given to the media? Would be nice to see along with the rest of the guide if possible.

 

[FrogLifeYo]

Roster on Go Frogs is generally pretty accurate..but not Big12 Media day accurate

SXM ESPNU will broadcast their coverage for Big 12 media days from 5 to 9 PM Texas time today. Coach Neuheisel is slated to be one of the hosts.

My guess is they recorded the interview spots from earlier today, but it should be good.

This means myself and at least one other KF.Cer will have to tune away fro. PGA Tour radio to catch it.

To watch Q/A with the players.

We will be uploading more throughout the day.

Our guys were great! Good mannners, funny, friendly, extremely well spoken, and professional.

We were the only school, today, to bring 5 players.

Golf on the radio? [ What the heck? ]

 

[BrewingFrog]

From 5 to 9. I suppose that explains why when I turned it on a couple of hours ago they were giving a tongue bath to the stinking SEC for the gazillionth time...

Gawd I hate ESPN.

Yep. I caught the ad with Rick and he was announcing it would be on in the evening. Which I think may work out better as Big 12 gets its own coverage.

It's actually pretty good. I was not sure if I would like the actual tournament coverage, but they paint the picture as as well as college football announcers.
