  1. Hope he doesn't take too long to mullet over.

  2. Looks like Ewers dad wasn’t bullshitting. If Sarkisian fails to land Ewers, he should be fired before Christmas. Just end it and start over. If he lands Ewers, he gets an all-time get out of jail free card and I get $1000.

  3. Pretty much this, Sark gets is on track next season (7-8 wins) and looks better in every aspect next season with "his players" or this isn't happening. You don't need multi-year rebuilds and the commits we do have are early contributor types. One thing we heard MANY times on the podcast was the freshman came in unprepared in the TE room. Gunnar Helm came in the most prepared because he took it very seriously - not to say the other guys don't now take it serious, but it was obvious from that conversation that Gunnar thought he was going to have to work harder than everyone to see playing time because of the recruiting rankings etc. We saw that pay off in immediate playing time and mixing it up with the 1's on a frequent basis for a freshman. This '22 class is filled with Gunnar Helms - there isn't a single guy that they are taking that isn't coming in ready to compete day 1 and come in having worked out the entire offseason so they can either early enroll or get started with the playbook learning process. The biggest thing that I took away now that we have done all the interviews (which if you haven't listened to as a burnt end, go listen to) is that the young guys are taking this very seriously now and want to do everything they can in the offseason to come into next season absolutely ready. It only takes 1 class/infusion of 30+ guys with that mentality to change the culture in a locker room. People who think Juan Davis and Ja'Tavion Sanders aren't more dynamic than Jared and Cade (not a knock) must not have eyes. Their issue was they didn't know how to play college football mentally.

  5. There is going to be a sizeable portion of the Texas fanbase that is scared no matter who they hire. I'm to the point where I want those shitheads to make a hire just so I don't have to read any more terrified whining about every rumored hire.

  6. I would like a dictionary. Is this offer good for any of us? If so, my address is: 2519 Parkdale Dr Kingwood, TX 77339 Thanks I can honestly say "go fuck yourself" to you and any other short term, small-minded rube that thinks only in terms of single days in front of them for their life outlook. NIL was opened, with rules to live by coming with it, less than 6 months ago. In that time, the fans and alums at Texas, recognizing the AD being fully unprepared and trying to wish NIL away, have raised 6 figures annually for all TEs, $10million now + much more in future years for multiple positions all over the field, and at a minimum, another thing being announced early next week for another team unit for shocking amounts of money. All of that has been done trying to help with no support from the AD and an incompetent football staff so scared of its own shadow that it won't even have a fucking cup of coffee to discuss shit that is completely above board. With that, let all of us who have significant amounts of money, reputation, sweat, and privacy at risk apologize sincerely to you and every other fucking clown that doesn't get it and wishes to pound their fists on the table and demand better recruiting results now, damn the long term value beyond immediate needs. We should have waved wands and gotten all of this done so much sooner for you guys.

  7. Treat guns like cars. You buy one, it is registered to you, you pay property taxes, registration, and inspection anually. Must buy insurance that responds in the event someone is harmed, must have a license and training to legally operate. If you sell it, title is transferred and taxes, insurance, etc. are paid. If a car, I mean gun, registered to you is used in the commission of a crime, the cops are at your door and you have problems. Better lock those things up. And if you report it stolen but you still have it, problems. Cars are sold with locks/keys, wtf? Make gun owners bear the costs associated with their fetish.

  8. I mean, you and I are pretty similar. That's what I meant when I said a 4 year rebuild above. We're going to have to eat shit for awhile and see if this staff can/will develop kids. Not having dudes drafted hurts, but I get tired at the whole misconception that we aren't developing talent well. Of course, we are not. But of all these top 10 classes weve had that folks love to cite against us, most of the top players in those classes were busts or transferred out or both. Our adjusted class rankings, if one existed, would be dogshit. Development is a problem. But so is having prick coaches that players hate, and so is our player evaluation. It's all shit. Herman took shitty dudes to inflate rankings to stay afloat of the perception game. Strong took head cases and dipshits with ok rankings. This time we have a likeable coach. Well see if he makes adjustments and develops guys, and we'll see if he can fix evaluation and culture. But yet, I don't see any choice except to be patient and give this guy 4 years to see progress.

  9. Against my better judgement I caught up on this thread today and it seems there is near universal hate for sark and absolute certainty that he won’t succeed at Texas. Given the predictive track record around here I would say we have our guy. all gas no brakes birches. Enjoy the ride gang.

  10. My view is that the one thing we should have gotten really good at as fans over the last 12 years is how to spot a loser. You're failing that test with this post and you're a better poster than that. Sarkisian is a loser. That's not speculative. He's a loser this season with a roster that shouldn't have gone 5-7. They shouldn't have lost to Kansas. They should have beaten OU, OSU, and Baylor. They choked those games. That wasn't a shitty culture doing that. That was shitty coaching managing leads very poorly. I don't even understand how this narrative that "it's bad players and a shitty culture" has taken root over the past month. Can those two things be correct? Fine. I'm not going to die on the "the players are all amazing!" hill, but that shit is far outweighed by what we witnessed from the staff. Need other proof points besides record and second half depantsings and losing to fucking Kansas? I challenge you or anyone else here to credibly claim that the players got better this season as the year wore on. Please, try to do it. Texas got fucking worse. That's coaching. If guys quit on you, put in guys that didn't. If the whole team quit on you, yeah, pack your fucking bags, loser. No, we kept seeing guys out there that had no business still being out there. Beyond all of that, the guy won 8 games once at Washington and 9 games with other people's talent at USC. Outside of that, he never won much, was ignominiously fired for being a drunkard in mid-season of year 2 of a tenure, and was fired as an OC in the NFL while taking the offense backwards from what he inherited. He's simply a member of a long line of coaches who have looked great as a coach under Saban who then go elsewhere and it's a mixed bag. There is nothing that Seven Loss Steve has done in the greater context of his career to merit anyone's benefit of the doubt here. As such, we're merely left with the shoulder-shruggingly sad recognition that we're going to endure 2 more, probably 3 more, years of this loser smearing more incompetence all over this program. No one reasonable expects him fired before then, but let's not act like we owe him a goddamned thing beyond that simple understanding of reality. And if he does prove what we've seen so far wrong, yeehaw. I view sarvanaash finding a sense of lasting, contented peace to be a more probably scenario.

  12. How about if Texas doesn't get Quinn Ewers, Ketch sets himself on fire?

  13. They're going to get run over in the portal as well. Look around. They've got oodles of immediate playing time offer multiple positions and they're whiffing repeatedly. This shit is systemic with this staff. Sarkisian is incompetent as a lead guy, and he's not holding his staff accountable. Texas missing on Devin Brown and seeing him head to OSU to ride pine, knowingly, for potentially multiple years, is the clearest canary in the coal mine anywhere here should be looking for at this stage. Light the cigarettes, boys, as we've already been fucked.

  14. Everyone CALM DOWN!!! I hate to take the rollercoaster out of all this but I have a PSA: Ewers will commit to Texas rather early to try and get some of these 22’s before they sign elsewhere. He knows he needs to talent so he will go after some of the Top talent WR, O-Line, TE and RB. They all still keep in touch so up until signing day this could definitely be good. BTW this was the news I was referring to a few weeks ago

  15. Lulz. Please don't compare some bitch that decommitted from Texas with probably the most hard-core texas commit of all time. I mean goddamn

  16. Wow. I know it's been rumored, but I've gotten to where I'm taking rumors with a legit grain of salt on stuff like this. For anyone wondering, Jamison has benefitted from NIL in non-trivial ways and will keep doing so in the future. Fringy NFL guys might have more incentive to hold off in the future? At Texas it looks like there's a shot that that can be true, at least.

  17. This is what you posted: You were speaking of the man, not this past season. It is not a fact. It is an opinion. If you disagree with that, then send me your address and I'll gladly ship you a dictionary. I do not dispute any of the other points you made about last season, other than to say that none of that shit happened in a vacuum. He inherited a broken program and a garbage roster. I also don't give a fuck about what he did when he was half in the bag at Washington and USC, as it is all immaterial to my core point which is that firing the head coach after one season is a STUPID. FUCKING. IDEA.

  21. A 4-5 year "rebuild" is total bullshit. Not like we are tanking for draft picks, the portal allows player movement more freely than ever before in CFB. And this shit is going to take 4 years to rebuild? The 2022 class will be seniors when we are done "rebuilding"? Thats horse shit excuses and generally unacceptable. If Urban Meyer or someone with that pedigree was introduced as our HC tomorrow we likely close on every major recruitment left in the balance and aggy shits down their leg for the next century per usual. When I told my aggy buddies that we hired Sark, the only thing they said was "Thank fucking God", think that opinion has changed? I understand why we havent pulled the plug on sark already but my god, at this point we are just biding time and waiting and praying that he doesnt scorched fucking earth this roster again like the last two fucking guys did, and boy if he doesnt make serious changes this offseason we ALL fucking know what next year and the one after looks like

  22. I was, unfortunately, involved in this debate at a gathering last night. The other guys were the casual fan types. They get stuff forwarded to them from their friends who claim to be “insiders” because they really follow things on Orangebloods. Painful shit. One guy says “well, look, we all believe Sark is a great coach and has a great staff. He had to do this. Texas will be rolling in a few years. “ Against my better judgment, I responded. “Huh. Yeah. No. We don’t all ‘believe’ that. I don’t. I thought he was shit hire and he doesn’t deserve anyone’s benefit of the doubt. He’s more likely to go Chuckles and have 3 straight losing seasons than he is to have Texas ‘rolling’ anytime soon. “ It was a conversation killer, but it got me out of that group and into a discussion with women that I work with which was far more enjoyable. Shit.

  24. “Conservatives” f’n hated MLK. Polling at the time wasn’t even close. And he was exactly the “radical left” that you guys hate so much. His views on poverty were even more radical than his views on race. “Conservatives” proof-text MLK quotes the same way they do Bible, with the same result: turn the gospels of compassion and kindness and forgiveness into a book of armed vengeance and ruthless profits and shit.

  27. Wasn't taking detailed notes but it went something like this: Parents bought the 9mm pistol for Ethan as an early Xmas gift Ethan posted pics of 9mm, calling the gun his new toy or baby, something Ethan was caught in class looking up "ammunition" on his phone and was reported to admin by the teacher Emails were sent to Ethan's mother who responded to him with something like "LOL, I'm not mad but you've got to learn how not to get caught" Pictures drawn by Ethan were seen as well, pics of people shot with blood and the words "Help me" and "Life is Useless" The pictures were followed up with the laughing emoji Parents were summoned to the school to discuss what they'd found Ethan was brought out of class to the meeting Parents were encouraged to take him out of school and he was required to be put into counseling within 48 hours Parents didn't take him out of school and he went back to class Parents never asked where the 9mm was and did NOT search his backpack -- the gun was in the backpack the entire time School shooting took place that afternoon

  28. I don't see it suggested very often. I see tons of dumbfuck "fire da corch!" suggestions, as if we don't have enough evidence by now to see what playing musical coaches gets you. At some point you have to just make a choice and stick with it. To wit, this post from @6th Street is an example of the kind of absolute useless stupidity that is shat into this thread over and over again.
