Texas_Angel,
I'd love to see an interview with each of the graduating seniors (or juniors that end up leaving early for the draft) asking them maybe 10 standard questions (e.g. [1] What was the deciding factor in your coming to UT, [2] What were the best/worst moments of your time on the 40 Acres, [3] How do you want to be remembered by friends and fans in the future, etc.) as well as any comments that they want to say to Longhorn fans in general (e.g. How can UT fans better support the team, etc.)
I would be interested in hearing first-hand from Jammer, Applewhite, and also the walk-ons (esp. the one who is deaf). And of course from Williams, our graduating LB's, etc.

I would like to know if other teams provide us with visitors facilities as good as we provide.
I would like to see a couple of plays drawn up and explained. (when to run it, what to expect in terms of yardage, what are the options it provides if it is a pass, etc.) Maybe one play per week drawn up.
I would like to know how many hours a year do the players spend on football, scheduled and on their own.
I would like to know why they did not go to other schools.
I would like to have it explained what the quaterback is calling at the line of scrimmage. It has been 40 years since I played and I imagine it has changed alot. What is he saying when he calls the snap.
In baseball there are statistics and averages for everything. How about in football and the Horns in particular? For example, how often do we make it when we run a quarter back sneak? What is our average gain on each down. When we lose yardage, is it to the right, middle, left? Same questions for the defense. I want to know all kinds of these things.
What are the defensive signals and what do they mean?
How often do they change handsignals? Each week?
I want the stuff I would know if I worked for the team as a manager. I don't mean secrets but the general stuff.
Thanks

Maybe you could post a section on aggie humiliations like the tech game and sidelines.  That way we can prove ags wrong with the greatest of ease.
The Aggies call it tradition. We call it cruelty to animals.

T&A (get it, T&A.....oh nevermind),
I want 21" glossies of Roy Williams going over the top and stuffing Phil's boy. If you can't produce, I'd accept a short (less than 500 words) essay explaining just exactly what is a "Texas Angel." Typed, double-spaced. Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but as a student, i'd really like to see an academic board, so other students can possibly get help with classes, start study groups, find out about professors and classes... etc... i'd even be willing to be the moderator

Would anyone be interested in an internet radio station, streaming 24-7, that played Texas music? By that, I mean stuff like Cory Morrow, Pat Green, Owen Temple, Robert Earl Keen, Cooder Graw, etc.? Stuff you could listen to while browsing the boards?
Or is that not the kind of music y'all would listen to?

Photo Gallery: Not just the same pics that you can find on texassports.com, but pictures that make you say "wow" or "Awesome!"
Info for Longhorns: A section devoted to letting us know when special events are going on like spring practices, gatherings, etc. This would also serve as a way to rally fans together for an event. (Example: if you wanted to get fans at the stadium to wear something or do something special during a game or something, post it here)
Media: I think there's somebody who already posts all the good clips after games in a post, but it'd be nice to have a place where it is archived.
Feedback: Getting feedback from the players in any form or fashion is always cool. Interviews and such directed at the fans
Anything to get us through this long off season!!!

A Hornfans Poster Hall of Fame. Seriously, with nominations and a vote of all Hornfans posters each year or whenever. Just my two cents.
Get down with the sickness...

I always enjoy knowing more about the people that post on here. We have done the age question, how we picked our name question, and a host of other questions. How about once a month(?) giving a poster a chance to tell about themselves. I think that would interesting. In the news paper when they do a writeup on a celeberty that are a series of standard questions they give answers to. Pick a poster and let them give answers to similar questions. Say when they post their 1000th post for example. By then they have been around long enough that we all know them and it would be interesting to know about them, I think.

Great taste in music. If you do it you can probably just tie in the streming from gruenewithenvy.com.
Anyway, I think it would be cool to put together an in depth essay about past games against our next opponent. For example the week before the OU game, provide a write-up of the TX-OU game 10, 20, 30 years ago. This would especially be interesting for teams we don't play that often.

How about posting school/conference/national records for football stats.

TA, I think you, LHG, and some of the moderators should monitor some of the hot topics and let the posters vote where they stand. I can think of a few issues these last few months where I wondered what most visitors to this board thought. I know there are a lot of lurkers here that don't post. I didn't post the first 2 years I was on the board. Maybe voting would give the lurkers an easier way to express their opinion.

I would like to know some of the community service stuff that players do. I really enjoyed the Beau Trahan story.

A video of each player starting with High School stats and honors, progress through each year, best plays etc. Like the Angles do now with the scrapbook, except electronically. Let the Angles do it, to be presented to the player along with the scrapbook. Show special plays and stats from games.
Select one per week of the seniors' videos to link to after the football season.
Interview one of the movers and shakers of the program.
i.e. Tom H., Red Mc., GWB, etc.
Pick a topic and discuss it with posters in depth. i.e. The indoor practice facility. Pros, Cons, What Mack has to say about it, what Red has to say about it, what do the players think about it,etc.
You won't have time to practice Law, just marry a NFL player.
