Sounds an awful lot like the old Tennecheat "February National Championships" they would win in the early-mid 2000's.

Texas football's record of 11 players at the 2024 NFL Combine didn't even last one year with 14 Longhorns at the upcoming 2025 NFL combine.www.statesman.com
Ohio State may have won the one battle, but it looks like Texas won the war.
Ryan Day should quit trying to win games and just work to get his players into the combine.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy throws shade at former Texas Longhorns teammate after he falls well short of NFL combine record 40-yard dash
The 2025 NFL Scuting Combine was set for a lot of excitement on Saturday. With the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers set to take the field in Indianapolis, you can bet that all the fans were watching to see the next wave of NFL stars. That included several players who had the chance to really turn some heads in the forty-yard dash.During media availability this week, former Texas running back and wide receiver Isaiah Bond set their expectations high. Both were on the record for saying they could potentially break current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy's forty-yard dash record that was set just last year. Worthy famously ran it in 4.21 seconds.
Blue, who is a talented running back and former teammate of Worthy, predicted he could potentially run in the 4.1s during testing. He used his time with Worthy as the barometer. That is where his confidence came from, but did admit Worthy set the bar very high.
"Yeah, he definitely did," said Blue. "At workouts all last year, (Xavier Worthy) was the one I ran next to. Me and him used to go at it. He won a few and I won a few. He's fast, don't get me wrong, but I don't think people really know how fast I am because I don't really run in games unless I have to."
While Bond was never a teammate with Worthy, he was also confident he could be close to the record. He predicted at least a 4.20-second time, but had the possibility of getting into the 4.1s as well.
Neither did. Bond ended with a 4.39-second time, while Blue ran it in 4.38 seconds. Worthy wasn't shy to head to Instagram for his instant analysis after they fell so short.

Skull Session: Stakes Are High for Ohio State vs. Indiana, Air Noland “Learned a Lot From Chip Kelly” As a Buckeye and Ohio State Wrestling Heads to the Big Ten Championships
Stakes are high for Ohio State vs. Indiana, Air Noland "learned a lot" as a Buckeye and Ohio State wrestling heads to the Big Ten Championships.
WIDE RECEIVER U. Matthew Golden impressed scouts at the NFL Combine last week. The Texas wide receiver, who collected two catches for 51 yards in his team's Cotton Bowl loss to Ohio State, has average size (6-foot, 195 pounds) but ran a blazing 4.29-second 40 with a 1.49 10-yard split.
After the combine, an NFL coach texted Bruce Feldman of The Athletic and shared that he's "a big golden fan."
Why is he a big Golden fan?
Well, because Golden reminds him of the pass catchers Ohio State has sent to the NFL since Brian Hartline took over as wide receivers coach in 2019.
Yeah, Ohio State is Wide Receiver U.
There's no debate.

Texas Longhorns make surprising admission amid sports betting issues that continue to rise around college sports
The world of sports betting continues to grow as more and more states fully legalize regulated various kinds of wagering each year. Back in 2018 sports book entities handled less than $7 billion dollars in the United States. In 2024 that number was up to nearly $150 billion dollars.There's some great fun to be had with sports wagering, but unfortunately several problems have emerged alongside the growth the industry. The latest problem? Yet another student athlete(s) scandal related to gambling. This time it was students and staff with the Texas Longhorns.
However, rather than hide the issue, the Texas Longhorns were surprisingly transparent as they self-reported five NCAA violations related to sports betting, as reported and confirmed by multiple sources on Thursday.
The five individuals involved apparently wagered somewhere around $15,000 on PrizePicks (a popular player props sports betting website). While it is legal in Texas to place bets on PrizePicks, athletes and staff on college sports teams are certainly not allowed to do so, according to the NCAA.
According to the Austin American-Statesman (who had this report first), there was somewhere around 150 separate sports betting violations committed by the same five individuals, two of which were football players for Texas.
Others reported to be involved were not directly associated with or confirmed to be linked to the football team, but one was an athletic department employee. It's not a great look for the Longhorns on the surface, but the good news is the department went ahead and reported on themselves.
Texas (like many other universities in the sports betting era) utilized a sports wagering monitoring software calling "ProhiBet" to track down the individuals involved, and the school did not apparently delay in reporting the issues once confirmed.
One of the football players involved was required to back his wagers to the charity of his choosing. The other is no longer with the Texas program and has retired from football, so he did not face anything punitive from the university or the NCAA.

Just sayin': Never heard of "ProhiBet" before.
