To be fair, Sark hadn’t really proven himself to be a quality HC at the time.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?

Retire his number!

OU has won back to back games with a very low win expectancy. They haven't magically become a world beater. I think 50/50 they lose one of those 2. Still don't think enough happens for us to sneak in because of the way we lost, but it's not zero percent chance either. But regardless, this team isn't good enough or consistent enough to make a big run this year. I just want to hopefully win the next 2, with Manning continuing to take positive steps, and hope we learned some lessons on the roster and make some staff changes.

The July 2024 divorce filing and his outfits weren't theories and they are certainly part of that atmosphere, but point taken.

Durant attacking his opponents' weak spots a little too literally. -
These back to back is just so good

JFC. This is ridiculous. We've been in the GD semifinal back-to-back years. It's ok to be pissed off about last night and the season without going full retard.
-
To be fair, the circus atmosphere/sordid story only really exists among Texas online football perverts theorizing about what might be wrong with Sark.
-
L’Oréal is important because of everyone around the program absolutely hating her the way they hated Herman.
-
We sure as hell proved that we didn't "reload" this offseason, didn't we? I just hope Sark checks out soon if he wants to bail for the NFL. We need an HC who's completely focused on rebuilding.

Ojomo, bitches.

Well, they have one of the best outside hitters in the country. It's easy to take that for granted after Eggleston and Skinner, but Stafford is right at their level. I don't think she's quite as terminal as those two at their peak, but she's pretty darn close. It's like wondering if Bijan Robinson is as good as Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams. Not completely analogous, but the point is the same. At some level it doesn't matter any more. She's also better defensively in the back row, and I think she could be a really good back row attacker if we'd just use her more. Spears has fallen off in production on the right side, but a big part of that is she's not serving any more. She barely plays in the back row. I felt like one of our X factors was having Spears coming out of the back row on that D ball attack. She'd take that flying leap with her big swing, and it was really tough to defend. But we've gone away from hit. We haven't been good at featuring attacks from the right side consistently forever, and I don't think we're particularly good now. We're pretty freaking elite in the back row defense with Halter and Gary when we're on, but we're not as consistent as some of the best back row defenses. But we're still really good. We have a tall setter and an established double sub, so we're not going to have a short setter taken advantage of in the front row like other teams. I don't know that I'd call that elite, but it's a strength. I think our biggest strength is that they just don't quit. It's easy to take for granted those two come backs from down 5 late in the 5th set against both Stanford and Louisville, but that was elite. We did something similar to Tennessee in the 2nd set. We came back against Kentucky when it looked like we were going to get blown out on our home floor 2 sets in a row with a 10-1 run. We even made a run with Gary at the service line in the set we lost to South Carolina. I feel confident that's not going to be enough to win a national championship. Certainly not against Nebraska. But we could still host a regional. Almost definitely will if we can beat A&M in the SEC tournament. For what it's worth I feel like we have a better team than A&M, and they're really good this year. I feel like we have basically a 50/50 shot against whoever we match up with in the regional finals, if we can make it that far. There's a remote chance it's SMU. Or A&M. Then we'll have a puncher's chance in the Final Four if we can get there. I just wish our serve was better. The middle blockers were more productive today, but I guess they were selling out to the pins and that's what allowed them to close the block better than they have all season long, because the South Carolina middles feasted in that 3rd set. That was disheartening. It was senior day, and even though we have a good shot at 4 more home games, I'm going to miss Halter terribly, and I'm very grateful for both Kenna Miller and Kahahawai for spending their careers here, when they could have been starters elsewhere. I'm hopeful Miller goes on to get a graduate degree somewhere where she can play. Miller sang the national anthem before this game, btw. Apparently was amazing. I know she's done that at least once before.

Kinda like getting riled up about someone on this message board commenting on the post? It's a data point amongst many with her, Sark, and the whole circus atmosphere that swirls around the sordid story. If acknowledging that is getting riled up, well, ok then.

Oh for sure I'm saying I liked the way he went at the rim and tried to make a play. The tripping afterwards is fucking dumb. -
I honestly think we ran it unsuccessfully two or three times and sark was done with it mostly. Then it was 28-10.

The one thing, what happened with the OL really is inexcusable. A drop-off from last year should be expected, particularly early in the season, but this OL shitshow is a massive failure. And I don't really buy the notion that we're at a point where we should be reloading every year and never rebuilding.

I’m thinking that they need to run shit through him when Wemby is on the bench. He laid a giant turd at the end of the Warriors game but he’s averaging 20 and 6 on 50% shooting in his limited time back. He’s good enough to carry the team for stretches and he doesn’t need any help to generate offense.
