Nice try. This game is a toss-up and you know it. Damn your reverse curse.

Auburn-Cal has that many in week 2. Having that many recruits attend a game is just what the SEC does.

Hell I think we had 40 for the New Mexico game.

Well Texas has the money to pay them to keep the benches warm.
I won’t lie I was expecting us to be better this year . This season isn’t over just yet hopefully our offense will stop beating itself with stupid penalties.
Nico cant keep starting drives 1st and 20
Anyway’s good luck Texas may Orange reign supreme! If it’s not us might as well be you.

If a school has a bye week are they allowed to send a coach to the game

Agreed…not down playing Texas but this is normal for big games in this conference.
At the DSOR 2 weeks ago there were 38 recruits.

It is much more difficult to build depth at multiple positions with the transfer portal. The parity in college football overall will continue to level. Sure, the big recruits will still go to the premier football teams, but after year one or two when they aren't starting, they will be gone.

Thank you for the respectful response. I looked at who you had visit for that game.

1 five star
13 four star
9 three star
12 unranked because of their class.

Dude, it's Georgia. It won't look that bad and we'll still likely make the playoff

Agree, but both Trevor Etienne and London Humphreys transferred to Georgie ( a team with more 4- and 5-star) for more playing time

Why would Auburn have recruits in Athens, or is BigTastey really a GA fan?

As for the recruits at this weekend's game.. I've never seen anything like it, but maybe it's normal for big SEC games.

I know for damn sure we have never had 10+ four and five star players come in from the State of Georgia. Now, I do have my suspicions that they are coming to watch Georgia moreso than Texas, but we do have a stud committed from Georgia in 2026 who is about to reclassify to 2025, so maybe we will land some of these guys.

Either way, whether it is normal or not, it hasn't been normal for Texas. Our biggest game of the year is historically in Dallas each year, and while the home team can bring in recruits for that game, the visits are quite a bit different.

I'm ready for Saturday.

It's in line with the biggest conference games each year. That said, you always have surprises who aren't on the "official" list, either because they're committed elsewhere or decided late. I expect several of those.

He was talking about the AU vs NM game. The attendees was easy enough to find.

That amount of recruits is normal. The number of 4 and 5 star recruits happens but not as often.
