Well, she’s here. Never been through so many emotions, so much unexplainable joy in a 48-hour window. Charlotte Leigh was born this morning at 1:26 a.m. 9 LBS/2 OZ, 22 inches. Mom and baby are doing great. Thanks to everyone who supported us.

Not sure why I see @TexasFootball fans consumed with the "pressure" of being No. 1.
For over a decade, the program was a punchline. Now, the #Longhorns are the No. 1 team in the country.
If you're a Texas fan, embrace it. Relish it. Don't take it for granted. #HookEm
For the first time since 2008, @TexasFootball is No. 1 in the @AP_Top25.

I don’t know if Sark is the right man for the job. But rather than forcing him to go to win-now mode, which results in hasty decisions that exacerbate existing issues, and firing him in 24 or so months, maybe Texas should try something different for a change and see if it works.

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so predictable.
Recruit picks your school? It’s about relationships!
Recruit picks the other guy? They chased a bag!
BTW, way to twist what Sark said to fit a narrative.
Texas got two kids UGA wanted. You may not like it, but accept it.
Texas says it ain’t about the money… but who’s buying that? UGA’s going toe-to-toe with the Longhorns for the nation’s best, and BA is calling out the cap. It would seem a recruiting war is indeed on. #GoDawgs #DawgNation #SECMD25
