This thread is like if the Cloak Room raped the recruiting board and the resulting baby was raised by @satyanash.30 points

Can't tell if you're kidding but our fan base is fucking retarded. Sark very well may end up sucking. This season very well, and frankly probably, will suck. But to direct your outrage at Sark at this point is so fucking toxic and reactionary. The experienced leaders of this (and last year's) team should be fuckface Tom's 2018 and 2019 classes. What does Sark have left to work with from those classes? Offense- Roschon, Whittington, Liebrock, Angilau, Jones Defense- Coburn, Ojomo, Sweat, Overshown, Brockermeyer, Gbenda, Bush, Cook, Jamison That's it. If this season is a dud with no sign of improvement and we lose the '23 class, then okay. I disagree with whether or not he should have already lost the fan base but I can at least understand it. Until then, stop being such fucking pussies and understand the shit he inherited.23 points

I was there tonight. A couple of Ewers’ INTs were from batted balls. If I knew nothing about either of them before watching I’d go with Ewers. Knowing things about them I would definitely go with Ewers. The defense looks faster and more aggressive. We’re going to force a lot of turnovers. Stone is going to win the kicking job. We’re going to need a reinstated Hall or healthy Omeire in a big way. Agree with Hamilton that Williams will win the RT job. LT is no longer a competition IMO. Banks is probably the best OL on the team right now. Savion Red is a dude. Great last take in the class.22 points

The "lost the fans" thing is such a hilariously stupid take by over reactionary Texas fans. It would be funny if it weren't so sad and on brand for us. Sark hired - "We've lost the fans, he's not Urban Meyer, I'm out!" Brings in X, puts together amazing O-line class, Top 5 2023 class so far - "Texas recruits itself! Our NIL deathstar is responsible!" True* Freshman who hasn't played actual football since Jr. year of high-school 2 years ago can't seem to put it together after 6 months on campus in our system - "I thought Sark was the QB God, what gives! OMG we're faced with starting the 4-star with more experience in the system for a few games! I can't believe we might SIT a guy who isn't ready...because....5*! This will crater NIL 2 years from now! I'm out! Lost the fans!" Some of y'all seem like you're more happy if we lose with Sark than if we win, so you can have your told-ya-so moment. Good on you I guess.17 points

Forgot to say that Cam seems to like playing till "the echo of the whistle" -- I like how physical he is. He did get beat by a couple outside speed rushes, but when Cam gets his paws on a guy it's pretty much over... Also: Savion Red is a passionate player and seems to be a high energy guy. During practice he dropped a pass, was visably disappointed and immediately started doing push-ups. This dude is a football player...17 points

Also attended... Neither Card nor Ewers had a good day. Ewers body language sucked at times Banks will start, and Cam needs reps so he can start by Tech game Savion Red can shine if he learns how to read defenses and get open Juan Davis has great hands, needs to improve route running Blue has tight space quickness and burst Xavier and Whittington look good Bijan amazing... please stay healthy 🙏 Need more production from TE's Watts is physical, but may struggle against really quick WRs Jamison is much more aggressive Not enough info to comment on DL Coverages at LB & Safety are improving FG kicking was not good Milton was WR3 with starters Saw several single safety sets, and LB blitzes Thompson had 1 good catch, but was sloppy several times and he is not physically ready to return kicks (had a drop on a kick return)15 points

Surly gonna Surly... "I think you can say we are masochists." Exactly, I knew that opinions would be all over the place, ... and I came here anyway, ...and I read them all. What a fucking beating!!! I'm 100% Texas, and an eternal optimist. I'm also realistic. I've willingly attached my emotional wagon to a bunch of overgrown 18-20 year old kids, with the hope that simply putting on an orange jersey will "etch-a-sketch" erase all of our past sins. After losing 3 starters in our first scrimmage, I had pretty low expectations from the open practice. I feel good today. I look for little nuggets; seeing Angilau in a jersey and a knee brace coaching up the kids is one of them. Roschon without a brace is another. The O-line, was, is, and will be the biggest question of the season. The reality of the freshman playing early and often is a big improvement. Not ideal, but this line won't get pushed over and thrown down like a wet dish rag. Bijan getting to the line before contact makes me smile every time I think about it. Ewers throws a deep ball better than anybody here in the past 10 years. That can't be taught. Putting more zip on his "frisbee throws" can be. The ingredients, improved O-Line + Bijan + Ewers, are here. Just have to get the mix right. Simply rushing the QB and jamming receivers at the line will change the dynamics of the defense. We have coaches that can coach. Time to let your players play.13 points

Anyone who played sports and grew up or around North Dallas in the last 15 to 20 years knows the Talibs are and always have been absolute pieces of shit. There's a story on a DFW sports message board about a father pulling his son off the Talibs team awhile back because Aqib "showed off" his pistol to his team. That's right, a supposed coach and role model showed off his gun to a bunch of 9 year olds. They're pure trash and I don't care who on here is kin to them. There's another video floating around the internet showing a different angle where you get a clear shot of what happened. Not only was it 4 or 5 guys beating Mike down, but Yakub or whatever the fuck his name is, inexplicably pulls out his gun as Mike struggles to gain balance after being beat down by a bunch of dudes and Yakub straight up murders him. As far as I'm concerned every last one of those dudes beating that guy down should go to jail. Fuck 'em.13 points

My dad pulled this when I told him I was going to NYC for my 50th birthday - ALONE. When I pointed out the murder rate in North Alabama is higher than Manhattan and I’m more likely to get shot up at work by a gun nut, he changed the subject. I ain’t wandering around the Bronx in 1978, Dad. I’m going to stay in Disneyworld for adults and catch three concerts at MSG and going to two Broadway matinees, FFS.12 points

I parodied this notion earlier with Trump scouring DC for moving boxes and his kids pitching in. I'll point to this absurdity again. Trump, as President, could get all the knowledgeable manpower he needed by just notifying his secretary. A different specialist could have been assigned to each stack or drawer of papers. He's the fucking President of the United States. He has guys. Lots and lots of guys. So why didn't he do that? Why didn't he have archivists and other specialists with no personal agendas to come sort and pack what could and could not go? The fantasy of unavoidable rushing around and mistake-making is fabulously absurd. He was hiding what he was doing. He was limiting witnesses. He didn't want outsiders to ask questions. Trump wasn't stuck with this chaotic move; he created it. For. A. Reason. C'mon.10 points

‘There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.

Here is a good article with a Russian perspective of their performance to date in the special operation. A bit surprising in the frankness of it. original article is Russian had to Google translate it: http://www.prisp.ru/analitics/11005-skorobogatiy-ukraina-gladiatorskie-boi-0408 Ukraine: gladiator fights Journalist, expert of the PRISP Center Pyotr Skorobogaty talked with the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Ruslan Pukhov about the difficulties that the Russian armed forces are currently experiencing on the Ukrainian front, what consequences the supply of Western equipment to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will lead to , and whether Western military corporations will be able to increase the production of arsenals. - Western weapons began to come into the possession of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In your opinion, how successfully can the Russian army, armed mainly with Soviet equipment, resist them? What technical problems are currently experienced by our armed forces? - If we talk about weapons of a new family, then in the Armed Forces of Russia, unfortunately, there are practically no fifth-generation combat aircraft. The latest version of our Su-34 bombers belongs to the fourth generation "plus" aviation. In addition, we do not have enough high-precision weapons and modern aiming equipment. This further reduces the effectiveness of this type of bombers, which are either forced to use unguided bombs at a height accessible to enemy MANPADS, or are forced to completely abandon actions to support troops. On the ground, the Russian army now uses mainly modernized third-generation tanks. Combat vehicles of the next Armata family still cannot enter service. Even our most modern T-90 tank available is a modification of the obsolete T-72. Simply put, the T-90 is a tuning of a Soviet tank. Therefore, to demand from them successful resistance to the latest Javelin, NLAW or Matador anti-tank systems is not entirely fair. In addition, a paradoxical situation has developed: the Soviet Union was the first country to invent an active protection complex (KAZ). But there is no KAZ on any of our combat tanks. This, of course, is a shame, because the experience of military operations in Ukraine has shown that a tank without a KAZ is now not at all capable of surviving on the battlefield. At the same time, the Israelis equipped their tanks with active protection systems, the Americans began to install them on their tanks, but we did not. Therefore, I have a big question for our military and for Uralvagonzavod. - Do you mean active protection complexes? - Yes. It's like gladiator fights. One fights with a short sword and shield, and the second with a trident and a net. That is, they were armed differently. So now. In the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to a large extent, the infantry and artillery army, and our armed forces act on armored vehicles. And besides, they are not equipped with modern really effective protection. - And what about the infantry? - We are very much short of infantry. The front is large, and the people involved in the special operation are not enough. Relatively speaking, the Ukrainians are on the defensive, they have a lot of artillery and fighters. We have to break into the front with an insufficient number of soldiers and on vulnerable tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Now in the Donbass, the Russian side is trying to solve this by using a large amount of artillery, but, as you can see, things are going very slowly. Another point - the SVO showed that at the moment the airborne troops, roughly speaking, are bad ersatz infantry. Because their aluminum infantry fighting vehicles are generally easily hit, and they have fewer other weapons than motorized rifles. You also need to remember that the Ukrainians have been actively training their army for eight years. They “driven” almost all of their infantry through the Donbass and actively used their artillery. That is, we used our artillery to an extremely limited extent, mainly in Syria or during exercises, while they were in a combat situation. Therefore, their gunners are more experienced. In addition, they learned how to use their old Soviet guns in conjunction with commercial quadrocopters. As a result, they have better, as they say now, "situational awareness", and they have better target designation. Simply put, in the case of an artillery duel, they often beat us. In general, the use of small drones has revolutionized the use of artillery. We actually missed this revolution and now we have to catch up "on the go." The SVO once again confirmed the thesis that you can launch hundreds, thousands of unguided projectiles, which seem to be cheap, but all this power is leveled by two guided missiles that accurately hit the target. Two missiles, for all their high cost, will solve more problems than thousands of unguided ones. Old conventional projectiles do not cause significant damage to the enemy, especially if he is deeply buried in the ground or hiding in concrete bunkers. This is another confirmation of the triumph of high-precision weapons. - The assault on Avdiivka, Marinka - are these just examples of the fact that it is possible to pour shells on well-fortified areas for a month and not achieve a breakthrough? - Yes Yes. Actually, the methods of the First World War (to put it bluntly) do not work, especially if you do not have superiority over the enemy in the infantry. A combination of modern reconnaissance equipment (including unmanned ones) combined with a large number of high-precision weapons could solve the problem of the enemy's positional front - but this is exactly what we lack. Well, plus to this, we simply do not have enough troops to effectively attack in one more direction. - Western states are now supplying Ukraine with weapons, in particular artillery and MLRS. These deliveries, accordingly, actualized the issues of the range of these guns. Why is distance so important? - The fact is that the Soviet weapons, which are now used by both Russia and Ukraine, be it howitzers or multiple rocket launchers, with a few exceptions, they hit no further than 20-25 km. Moreover, we have a lot of 122-mm howitzers, which generally fire only 13 km. Modern Western artillery is long-range - first of all, we are talking about 155-mm howitzers with a barrel length of 39 calibers, and especially 52 calibers - the latter have a range of up to 40-41 km. The problem of lagging behind the USSR and Russia in the range of artillery fire has been obvious since the eighties, alas. True, now Western equipment is at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine so far in homeopathic doses, but supplies are growing. Accordingly, during an artillery duel, Ukrainian systems will be able to destroy our batteries, and return fire simply will not reach the target. Finally, this issue is becoming particularly acute in connection with the commenced deliveries of HIMARS and MLRS missile systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which fire high-precision GPS-guided GMLRS missiles with a range of up to 85 km. - What about aviation? - There are two problems here - firstly, as already mentioned, we do not have enough precision-guided munitions and accurate means of detection and target designation in aviation, and secondly, Ukrainian air defense remains unsuppressed, operating on Soviet systems (S-300, Buk and etc.). In addition, the Ukrainians received a large number of MANPADS. As a result, aviation cannot freely operate effectively either from high and medium altitudes, or from low altitudes, which significantly limits its effectiveness, including in suppressing the same Ukrainian artillery and influencing enemy troops. To put it bluntly, we do not have air supremacy. The start of deliveries to Ukraine of modern Western medium-range air defense systems may exacerbate this problem. On the supply of Western weapons - Why is the delivery of Western weapons so slow? Is it due to the difficulties of training or is their sending intentionally dosed? - At the general political level in the West, there is still no political determination to supply Ukraine with truly massive quantities of heavy weapons, since this will require both partial “uncovering” of its armed forces and the need to send large numbers of at least instructors to Ukraine for training, but in reality - and their military operators for at least partial use of these weapons. The West is not yet ready to go to such a level of involvement and escalation, except for some inveterate Russophobes, like the Poles. Поэтому поставки Украине сейчас в значительной мере ограничиваются техническими и организационными моментами, доустимыми без такой степени вовлеченности. То есть нужно расконсервировать технику, провести регламентные работы. Потом нужно обучить людей с украинской стороны. Даже если военнослужащие обучены, они не станут стрелять так же, как опытные бойцы из западных армий. То есть нужен опыт. But the Ukrainians learn very quickly, they turned out to be quite talented warriors. Training takes several weeks, so in fact the supply of weapons is on the rise, including in terms of quality (the same HIMARS). By the end of summer, I think the situation on the fronts can become dramatic. In addition, we do not have mobilization; in fact, we are fighting with a peacetime army. And they already have the fourth wave of mobilization, so there is no shortage of people. Yes, the regular army has been largely eliminated in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but there is the first reserve, which was driven through the ATO. There are second and third tiers. That is, at some point, a positional deadlock may occur, as in the Korean War since 1951, and our army will simply stand up and will not be able to move further. Let's not hit them with nuclear weapons. - True, there is such a thesis that the supply of Western weapons is not so large that it would be possible to form reserves. They are thrown into battle and immediately knocked out. Accordingly, it is difficult for Ukrainians to create a strike group for a counterattack. - I'm not ready to argue with that. This thesis seems to be uttered in television talk shows for complacency. Yes, we see a picture that the Ukrainian “Volkssturm” somewhere in Lviv is armed with Maxim or Degtyarev machine guns. But those units that fight on the front lines are well supplied. They have a Reserve Corps and in which case the Armed Forces of Ukraine can counterattack. I think they are better armed than the Volkssturm. In fact, the underestimation of the enemy played a cruel joke on us. So far, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not demonstrated the ability to launch effective offensives above the tactical level - to recapture a village or another. In essence, in the offensive they have the same tactical problems as the Russian side - the attacking forces are usually few in number, they come under fire from artillery (which usually cannot be suppressed) and quickly roll back or are unable to hold the newly occupied positions, armored vehicles massively affected. Let's see if the Ukrainians turn out to be something more in this regard. - There is another thesis - the number of barrels is not so important, but the formation of the projectile stock. According to your estimates, how regular is the supply of ammunition now, is it enough for combat operations? Is there a shortage of shells? - I find it difficult to answer this question. The fact that they are still shelling Donetsk and they do not have a shortage of fuel does not create the impression that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have serious problems with this. They are also living people, they are also dying , but I am not sure that the Ukrainians are experiencing a serious shell shortage, especially in light of the fact that they have begun to switch to Western systems with Western supplies of shells. Although I may be mistaken. I know one thing: unlike the Ukrainians, we started the SVO in white gloves. That is, we wanted not a single local resident to suffer. We opened the fighting as some kind of knightly duel. And this, sorry for the expression, is a dirty fight in the alley, where there are no rules. Test site Ukraine - What is the state of the Western military-industrial complex now? By and large, the Americans and Europeans have a chance to dump old weapons, clear out warehouses. And it looks like it's rebooting. Rumor has it that Western military corporations need a lot of time to restart their production. And others say that Ukraine is a testing ground for Western weapons, so they will be better prepared for the next clashes. - Yes, Western armies are getting rid of old equipment, and now they are ordering new ones. Of course, this is beneficial for the states: there is a load, new jobs appear, new taxes, and so on. Any war is a testing ground. For us it was Syria, for the West it was Ukraine. There is nothing shameful here, it would be foolish not to use it. Regarding the fact that they have some problems, I think this is Yaroslavna's standard lament for most military industrialists. They all over the world are terribly fond of complaining that they have something missing. Let's remember how tasty they were during the Cold War. All these productions can be quickly increased. If, say, the Germans run out of chips, they will ask the Americans for them. If the Americans, they will ask Germany. For example, did you know that the Abrams tank has a German cannon? They bought a license from them and are doing very well. Often what we think of as American is actually pan-Western and is done in a collaborative way. At one time, the United States bought licenses for unmanned aerial vehicles from Israel. If we talk about numbers, then we should not overestimate the complaints of the Western military. The total number of weapons and equipment in service with the armies of the entire NATO bloc is very large, and it is many times larger than ours, and, moreover, for the most part fresh. - By and large, there is coordination between various contractors? - Very often this happens not at the state level, but at the level of private companies. For example, when we wanted to buy Mistral-type amphibious assault ships from France, they had to Frenchize production. Because a number of American components or French parts made under an American license are involved in the manufacture of these ships for their own needs. The Americans refused to supply components for the sake of the Russian order, then they had to modify the ship. Western military companies like Korean components because they are cheap. Having multiple production chains can potentially create trouble. But one should not think that these problems will create a barrier to meet their own and Ukrainian needs in technology. There may be interruptions in the supply of individual components, but these are just particulars.10 points
