Fridays in the Humidor – 12/15/17

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and by that I mean NSD1. The Texas staff has put together quite the haul, even if players who are considered foregone conclusions to sign are often overlooked. It's like when you snooped around the house looking for your presents in advance of them being wrapped. It's not quite as fun when you know what you're going to get, but sometimes it's nice to remove anxiety out of the equation. Heaven forbid you don't get that Tonka truck defensive tackle.

Thanksgiving leftovers in the Humidor

The West Virginia win was big in many regards. We've been mentioning how big the win was for team psyche and long-term buy-in, but it was also a good opportunity to raise some money for the school. A booster or two took it upon himself to get the hat passed around and a significant amount of money was pledged in a short period of time. Even at the season's lowest points we mentioned Herman was under no heat from the school or boosters but that doesn't mean key players were in a hurry to part with money. The WVU win was a nice little windfall for your struggling little athletic department.

Inside the Gameplan: Awaiting Texas Tech

Texas’ victory over West Virginia was a bit fortuitous in that they finally got to face a diminished opponent when Will Grier broke his finger rather than yet another top quarterback and offense, but it was no less a breakthrough for this team. The defense smothered the Mountaineers throughout the day and held them to only seven points, but that wasn’t the big win for the day.
