Listen bros. Here is what I am going to say. Last year when we played good defenses like Georgia we looked completely inept offensively. Then there would come a point in the game where we would get desperate and Sark would start spreading it out and we would look like a completely different offense. Spreading the formations and running with more receivers cleans up the whole picture for the quarterback. If you are 4 and 5 wide, its hard for the defense to disguise what they are in. Further so if you are sending guys in motion every snap to make them declare man or zone. Last year when we played Georgia in the SEC championship Sark came out in 11 personnel or 4 wide and Quinn lit them up for 160 yards in 20 minutes. Then we settled into two tight end sets and we bogged down for the rest of the game. Well, take a look at what we did and how Arch responding from the end of the 3rd Qtr and on. 1st and 10 and we are in 11 personnel here(1 TE and 1 back). Us being in 11 personnel makes us faster because the TEs we are currently employing are slow. Take one off for another WR and routes get completed faster meaning Arch can let it fly that much sooner. State responds with a legit 3-2-6 which is a fucking mistake. Our line struggles with passing off rushers and our QB struggles moving quickly through his progressions. Now you just solved both of our issues in one fell swoop. Now look at the route concepts here. Two comeback routes on the outside. Easy to read. Easy to throw. A 5 yard drag for a hot and a 12 yard dig going the other way. Arch is superb here. Ball is out on the break. Not a G-damned thing the DB can do about it great ball! YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p.mp4 3rd and 10 and State is going to bring the house. We keep Wisner in to block and successfully wash down the defensive line allowing Manning to slide out to his left and buy time for these routes to develop. Yall should recognize the route combo. Its the same post with a dig combo we always run. Arch always fucks this up. The deep dig is almost always open underneath, and it's wide the fuck open here but it doesn't matter because Wingo is too fast for State safeties. It's double coverage and he still destroys their angle. When you see this you see why Sark had Wingo in there but damn it if dude doesn't fellate large phallus 50% of the time. Arch underthrows it a little as not to miss for a big gainer. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_2.mp4 . So here we are on the goalline in 12 personnel. We are going to motion Wingo to the boundary. Their entire defense is worried about Wingo, and both safeties shift to get a man over top of him. Sark just put their DB on an island 1v1 with Livingstone. At first when I saw this throw I thought it was late. But pay attention. The DB is in 13's hip pocket but Parker gives a little stiff arm right on his break that created space, and that's when Arch throws. any sooner and I am not sure it would be broken up. Beautiful throw by Arch and great catch by 13. Arch maybe could've thrown it 3 feet sooner at best. We max protect as we roll this pocket, keeping 7 in to block. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_3.mp4 We are in 11 personnel. We have a bit of a modified smash route to the boundary. Now the smash can be run a myriad of ways. Traditionally the inside receiver runs an out, and the outside receiver runs a corner. Sark changes this combo a lot but today the outside runs an out while the TE runs an arrow. The QB is reading the outside corner. If he is up he throws the corner route over his head between the corner and the safety. However, if he is playing off you rip the under. At the snap State makes it easy as they try to roll coverage to the field and Arch correctly takes the short throw. Now look at the pass rush. DJ's man beats him and comes completely free but Arch gets rid of the football so quickly that it doesn't matter. Normally Arch holds this ball looking for a deeper route and gets sacked. Nice work Arch. We had this same call on vs OU and he didn't throw it. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_4.mp4 3rd and 3. State is going to bring 6. Sark has a man beater on with Parker running the 5 yard drag. Arch correctly identifies the blitz but is just a touch slow getting this ball out. Regardless, at least he saw it. That's what needs to happen for teams to stop blitzing us so frequently. This would've been even better if Sark allowed the receivers to sight adjust. If Parker's man runs by him to blitz he should run a quick 4 yard hook. By crossing he ran himself right into the defenders in the middle. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_6.mp4 Sark is in his bag here. 11 personnel. We are going to motion Moore to the boundary which gives us trips to that side. A man comes with him which tells Arch it's man coverage. At the snap the TE runs up the seam carrying his man, but making sure to run outside the LB who is responsible for Wisner creating a natural pick. Arch hits him and Tre does the rest. Nice playcall by Sark. Again, this is the kind of ball Arch has to throw to beat the blitz. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_7.mp4 So back in 11 personnel. Remember that smash concept a couple plays ago where Arch threw the quick arrow route because the corner was playing off. Here is the same concept but the corner squats on the under so we just pitch it over his head. Pretty simple read that works against quite a lot of coverages. Why don't we run it all the time? We do. Arch is just dealing here. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_8.mp4 This next one is what Manning struggles with. Were are in 11 personnel. Sark is trying to isolate Wingo against a DB for a speed out that Wingo should win, especially with this much cushion. A few things about it. Yes, Arch is late on this throw and as you can see it allows the DB to recover and make a okay. But more importantly than that, Wingo runs a shitty route. He never stems his route(get the receiver to turn his hips) and just rounds the route off to the sideline. Then. Catch the fucking football G-damnit! This fucking guy. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_9.mp4 As yall know we run this fake screen all the time and I don't think it ever works when run with a TE. Takes too long to develop. Two receivers and it happens way faster and you can get the ball out faster. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_10.mp4 2nd and 10. State gives us a 3 man rush. Manning probably had more time to throw but checked it down quickly. I love to see it. It's 2nd and 10 and if you miss here State is bringing the house. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_12.mp4 So you remember that speed out that we just ran with bitchass Wingo? We flip the play and run it with Moore on the right. Same fucking defender. Number 13. As Moore runs up the seam he makes a subtle move with his feet making the DB step a little inside before me makes his break and look at how much more separation he gets. Easy pitch and catch. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_13.mp4 Remember this play earlier in the qtr? We motion Wingo to the field side this time. A defender comes with him and we hit Tre on the rail out the backfield. This time we catch them in a blitz and get a chunk play. Now we've run two plays twice in this Qtr. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_14.mp4 Enders wide open at the bottom of the screen. Missed him. Overall his decision wasn't bad, he just has to throw this before the receiver clears the first defender. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_15.mp4 Remember that speed out? Yep, we are about to run it for the third time in the quarter now. Except this time it's going to Livingstone. He fires upfield and runs the defender out of view, Nice easy pitch and catch even though he slipped trying to make a play after he caught it. YTDown.com_YouTube_Texas-vs-Mississippi-State-Condensed-WIL_Media_uUf47YeX4o4_001_1080p_16.mp4 So what coach did was go largely 11 personnel and run the same few plays for Arch. Probably something he executes well and likes. Arch responded it well, and because of that we will be right back to running double tights and slow developing plays. And for you Quinn haters, this was the same thing happening to Quinn last year it's just that Quinn is a bit more polished and could operate fine in Sarks slow ass offense until we came up against Georgia or the like. These are the kind of concepts and routes that Freshwater is running. He isn't some genius his offense just is a bit more basic.109 points

"God DAMN you, closetojumping!! Do not do this!!" Over the course of the last two months, the patrons of this board have gone from feeling their oats and scheduling dinner reservations in Miami for next January to a bunch of sobbing twats, scared of their own shadow and counting future losses as though these things are certain. It is time we pull ourselves together. Texas is playing Vanderbilt, for fuck's sake. I don't care how highly rated those dorks are, they haven't played in Austin since 1903. Texas didn't even have a stadium then and most of our grandparents weren't even alive then. Things change, but opponents coming to town and having their heads handed to them is a longstanding tradition in which every reader here is rooted. This season and this team has been shit on and shoved down by every talking head and voter in the media since the lofty #1 preseason ranking was vaporized in week one in Ohio. Boo hoo. The team hasn't quit yet, and they're finally heading home. This year's schedule has only exacerbated the distorted view that college football nation and our own fanbase has of this team. They lost by one score on the road to Ohio State, who no one has played close since. Then they played 3 cupcakes that no one cared to even cover or watch for the most part. While our fanbase yawned and Manning struggled, everyone else just read box scores, watched some clippings on Twitter and IG, and formed definitive opinions that Texas sucks. A bad loss to lackluster Florida in The Swamp didn't help the program's cause. People excused OU because of the Mateer injury, even though he played and said he was fine, and then beat two SEC teams on the road. After two fucking decades of hearing mouthbreathers tell us what a grind every SEC game is, especially on the road, Texas has received zero credit for going back to back weeks and beating Kentucky and Mississippi State in their backyards. So were folks just lying pieces of shit overhyping a top-heavy, otherwise mediocre conference? Or is everyone just full of shit and resentment now and can't give Texas credit where it is due? I've heard multiple talking heads yesterday and today claim that Texas is done and simply not a good team this year. "I expect Vanderbilt to expose Texas as a fraud this weekend." - Nicole Auerbach, AP voter who did not vote for Texas this week, but voted for her alma mater, Michigan, who lost to OU and has the same 6-2 record as Texas. The good news is that the game still gets to get played. Texas has gone the longest stretch without a home game of an P4 team in the last 25 years - 6 calendar weeks.* It is time for home-cooking. "But CTJ, Vanderbilt is actually good this year!" This Vanderbilt team is fine. Are they good? No. This team is a by-product of a gritty QB with some talent around him on offense, a well-schemed defense and an absolutely dreadful schedule. Vanderbilt is currently 7-1. In the non-con they played Charleston Southern in the FCS, a 3-5 Va Tech, 1-7 Georgia State (Sun Belt) and 4-4 Utah State (Mountain West), who also lost to New Mexico and Hawaii by similar scoring differentials. In those 4 games, Vanderbilt outgained their opponents by 1,083 yards. This Vanderbilt team can punch a midget, that much is certain. How about in the SEC? That's a different story. They've played at South Carolina, at Alabama and then hosted LSU and Missouri. SCar, as predicted, was wildly overrated and sits at 3-5. They have a worse offensive line than Texas. Bama looks like a top 5 team. LSU just fired their coach, in part, for losing to Vanderbilt. Missouri's qb suffered a gruesome lower leg injury and was carted off the field in an inflatable cast while the game was tied 3-3 and Missouri was threatening to score. In these 4 games, including Vandy outgaining LSU by 74 yards, Vanderbilt was collectively outgained by 195 yards. This Vanderbilt team has been playing with a guardian angel watching over them all season. The devil always gets his due, and that payment will be made this weekend at DKR. "Now closetojumping, Diego Pavia is a winner. He's got moxie! He rallies his whole team around his aura and energy!" It was only this week that I learned that "Diego Pavia" literally means "overrated hobo" when translated from Mexican to English. Look, there is no doubt that Pavia is a born and proven leader. That's great for a marginally talented team playing either teams with less talent, teams with comparable talent, or teams who are asleep at the wheel. Luckily for Texas fans, this Texas team has awakened. Suffering near deaths on the road with their backs against the wall, the healthy pulse has been found and the adrenaline is kicking into high gear. All this team is going to hear all week is how they have no choice, even if slightly favored due to home field advantage. They're going to hear the Pavia talk constantly. They're getting asked about him at the press conference today. There will be more of it throughout the week. They'll be reminded of the near loss last season. DIEGO MANIA!! and Vanderbilt is for real!! are memes and topics all over social media. Texas players are being bombarded with this propaganda. Meanwhile, sweet baby Diego has escalated his shittalking and showboating with the press. He continues to state that Vanderbilt is winning the national title. He stated this weekend after the Missouri game that he should be a frontrunner for the Heisman. No one is huffing their own farts with more vigor right now than The Macho Vato. We'll see how much grit is left when Colin Simmons tells Pavia from across the LOS "I'm going to be the last thing you see, bitch!" and then lays the dude out for a sack. Moxie and grittiness carry one only so far against motivated and superior talent. Vanderbilt hasn't faced a defense like Texas. Bama and Mizzou both offer up blueprints to controlling Pavia that Texas can replicate. Keep Pavia in the pocket and shut down the run. Make them beat you by forcing Pavia to sustain drives with his arm, which he cannot do. LSU couldn't stop the run and that killed them. If Missouri doesn't lose contain to the backup TB who then goes 80 yards for a score in the 3rd, among many ifs (don't lose your QB for the season, catch a hail mary inside the end zone, not 3 inches short of one, maybe actually successfully kick more than one field goal, etc.), the defense does well enough for Missouri to win. Teh Major Applewhite and I Am Sam Ehlinger both had moxie and grit. Man, they were so good against lesser and/or sleepy opponents. Without superior firepower for either of those guys, how many wins did they tally up against similarly or more talented teams? They both finished around or below .500 in those match-ups. "Have you seen the Texas offense, CTJ? Have you seen this OLine? You know that, now that Arch Manning is finally putting it all together, he's in concussion protocol and is unlikely to play this weekend, right? You know that Vanderbilt has a good defense, too, right?" Oh ye coelenterates of little faith. Yes, I know that Arch Knoblauch is unlikely to play this weekend. Yes, the Vanderbilt defense has looked good in most of their games. Yes, the Texas offensive line has mostly been hammered dogshit. None of that will matter come Saturday, as The Matt Bomber Offense will be on full display. Caldwell was a quiet pick-up from the portal for this specific reason - at some point this year, Manning was likely to miss time. QB is a tough position and the SEC is a tough league. Caldwell has looked good all fall and has gained the trust of his team. His clutch moment this past Saturday only helps solidify that. More importantly than anything else, Caldwell's biggest strength is that he can actually complete most of the layups this offense can offer him. Now, will Ryan Wingo and Deandre Moore actually catch those layups? One can only hope. As to the OL, they've shown some signs of coming together. Their play in the second half of the MSU game might be a fluke, but we've seen similar glimpses in the second half of the OU game as well. If we complete a few simple passes throughout various drives, some wear and tear on a vastly outsized front 7 won't hurt things, either. I'll grant that I have less confidence and more hope, which is never a good strategy, when thinking about OL performance coming up, but just like rent on November 1, that unit is due. On the Vanderbilt defense, they're good, but they're not great. They don't force a ton of turnovers unless they're playing South Carolina and injuring Lanoris Sellers. They average less than 3 sacks per game. Vanderbilt does not have a singular dominant force on their defense. They're a collection of older players who are coached well. Texas has done well regarding turnovers this season and there's no reason to think that that will play out differently in this game. If Vanderbilt struggled to get to the passer against SCar and LSU, there's no reason to be overly worried about protecting The Matt Bomber this Saturday. "So what does it all mean, closetojumping?" Well, I am glad you asked. It means mudhole. Or, I should say, this year's version of the mudhole. Texas 31 - Vanderbilt 17. Hook'em88 points

Most of you know by now we have Good Sark and Bad Sark. Bad Sark is the egotistical Sark that wants to run his stuff no matter the talent level or ability of his players to execute it. @Nicole44 made a brilliant observation when she said it's like he is auditioning for something, and just wants to run plays to show what he has. After she said that we find out that maybe he was. Curious. Anywho, Good Sark shows up when the team's back is against the wall. It just goes to show you that HE KNOWS what would work and would be more efficient. I couldn't begin to understand why he doesn't roll out Good Sark more often, but folks we are currently seeing good Sark. I'm not sure how long he is here, but let's enjoy him while we got him! For those here that say things like it was the line. The receivers got better. Arch unfucked himself. The truth is all those things being fucked had to do with the complexity of what Bad Sark was asking them to do. Everyone here that was peeking over the fence, hoping we could have Joey Freshwater's offense, well you saw it this Saturday. We spread the field. Got the ball out. Simplified Arch's reads. Ditched the complicated routes. The result is not only did Arch come alive, but spreading the field and getting people away from the box helped the line and RBs too. Let's get into it! First play of the game and we line up in 11 personnel. Does anyone remember number 2 for Vandy in the slot? Well I do. They blitzed him 10 times last year. Good Sark does too. He motions Wingo to the field side anticipating them firing their nickel. The safety now has to spin down to make a play and that allows the slot receiver plenty of time to make a block. The closing LB never has a chance against an athlete like Wingo in space. Touchdown. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa.mp4 Again, we roll out in 11 personnel. Good Sark understands that Vandy wants to bring extra guys, and they are bringing 5 on this play. Yeah, this play is a little cute but well designed. Everyone knows we are an Outside Zone team, and we freeze their 5 man pass rush by showing Outside Zone blocking with a bunch of eye candy in the backfield. Meanwhile the line is just naturally flowing frontside to block the throwback screen Sark has dialed up. Sark gets 5 clean blockers out front of the best returner in college football. Terrifying for any defense. If we are a little quicker to decide who to block here this gets to the house. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_1.mp4 We are in 11 personnel spread wide in a 2x2 set. Sark is making Vandy defend superior athletes in space. At the snap we just throw it out to Wingo and let him make a play. I said before Wingo needs Worthy's package because he is most effective when you can get it to him quickly and let him do the rest. Sark knows Vandy's corners are going to bail out which leaves the box defender responsible for closing on Wingo. In space. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_5.mp4 We come right back to the same play. 11 personnel in a 2x2 set. Notice the time and quarter. Notice the difference in the box for Vandy between this play and the last. Last play Vandy had 7 in the box and got popped on the outside for a big gain. This time they come back with a 6 man box and cover 3 behind it. Sark has manipulated the box, forcing them to pull a man to deal with these quick throws to the outside. That helps create space for the running game. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_6.mp4 Opposing teams have a guy on the sideline who's job it is to spot our personnel groupings and send in the appropriate response. Sark trots out his heavy package. 12 personnel. However, instead of lining up in a heavy run formation, we go 5 wide. You are forcing them to play zone or have LBs out covering routes. We give Arch a nice and simple 1/2 field read here. Arch knows that with the coverage they are in the corner is going to bail and the DB over the slot has responsibility for the flat. We fire the slot receiver vertically but with an outside release to occupy that man, and the outside receiver runs a simple stick route. Simple pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_7.mp4 Again 11 personnel. We run the tight end on a quick crosser to occupy the LBs and then run a delayed slant behind it. Pay attention to the O-line. The LG gets beat but the ball is out so fast it doesn't matter. A couple weeks ago this is a sack. You can make a shaky line look competent by just getting the ball out. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_8.mp4 Every time Sark catches them trying to add numbers to the box Sark reminds them that they have other responsibilities. 4 wide again with 11 personnel and we throw the quick out to Parker. Pay attention to our Left Tackle here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_9.mp4 2nd and 6 and Sark knows Vandy wants to blitz. We are 4 wide. Vandy brings 6 and Sark has a screen setup to the boundary. Great call. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_11.mp4 11 personnel. Sark motions late to a 3x1 set knowing he is going to get zone to that side. The slot runs a simple curl to occupy the flat defender while the outside receiver runs a simple comeback route. Easy pitch and catch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_12.mp4 11 personnel. This the fake receiver screen to wheel route we like to throw. A couple games ago we tried to run it but it wasn't there. I mentioned that a smart QB will come back and throw it to the faker since it will be open. I was told that was nonsense and QBs are supposed to run the play as its drawn up. Here is an example of us doing that with great success. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_13.mp4 11 personnel. Here is an example of how Sark can manipulate the coverage with 5 receivers while simultaneously giving Arch quick and easy reads. Sark slips the back out center left knowing he is going to draw the attention of the MLB. However, we are working the slot defender. We run a curl right in front of him to hold him so Arch can hit the quick post behind him. Easy pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_14.mp4 11 personnel. This play is basically the same as the last play but we get to it differently. This time the TE runs a crosser that occupies the defender and we throw the same post behind it. Up to this point, this is the longest time Arch has held the ball. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_16.mp4 11 personnel. We motion Parker and now we know we are getting zone. We know the corner is going to bail to cover 3, so we are working the flat defender here. If he is slow to respond to the speed out we throw that, but if he jumps it the TE is sitting with a curl. Nice and easy read for Arch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_17.mp4 Again with 11 personnel with 4 routes releasing to one side. We fire two verticals to occupy the safeties, then slip the RB out to occupy the underneath defender, all but guaranteeing the speed out to be open. This is where Arch has shown growth. Old Arch stares down the vertical here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_18.mp4 Here is another Arch growth moment. Old Arch doesn't see this checkdown and is sacked by the DE the LT has lost control of in the face of this blitz. This Arch has this ball coming out before the TE is even set. You love to see it! 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_20.mp451 points

I'm really hoping that Manning doesn't play tomorrow. It has nothing to do with how he's looked in prior games. It's just hard to believe that the guy will be fully healthy and able to run the offense in just 7 days from the injury. There's a bye week next week. Just take another 2 weeks to get fully healthy and ready for Georgia.37 points

Hey Michael what if hear me out…that other people have been talking and knew about Sark’s personal shit that has nothing at all to do with my BMD. My BMD just knew the actual date that loser Herman would be fired before he was in fact fired and the press even knew. Most people have known about Sark’s personal shit in some form or fashion for over a year and most knew about his 30 day absence from 2025 and now that he has made such a mess of the offseason that it affected our games and the fact that the Athletic came out with this article do people NOW feel comfortable saying what they know. My source ain’t CTJ’s source but you ain’t jumping up his ass. my BMD didn’t tell me any of the PERSONAL sark shit he really doesn’t care if Sark blows goats for fun. I explained that a have a close friend who knows both sark and his wife well and knew his wife well before Sark left his first wife for Loreal. in my opinion, how you get someone is how you lose them. Multiple people knew about his personal shit for a long time and didn’t say nothing and were discouraged from saying things bc most of the chiclet brains here think sark is an untouchable god. Neither my friend nor my BMD are the reason sark’s personal shit is all over fucking Reddit. It’s all over the fucking internet bc sark is messy. People know bc his wife is messy. If you keep your shit in house people won’t know about your shit enough to gossip about it. Unfortunately, when things aren’t going well for a coach in a season particularly bc of said coach’s self inflicted wounds the gossip bursts to the surface. So if anyone is mad about the gossips (of which there are many) I say for y’all all to Take that shit up with Sark. Or with Loreal. Or both. Instead of getting mad at a legion of people on the internet who were openly sharing much of the gossip contained in this thread in Reddit and other forums MONTHS before Texas lost to Ohio State to start this season. I swear to goodness that Many of you repeatedly pick on me solely cuz I have a pussy rather than picking on guys who act like pussies. Go figure.36 points

Yes. Yes I do. Nibs housing it, defense going no lube, Arch with the best game of his life, Baxter is back, and we are at home against an Italian Commodore. Caldwell may starts and the home crowd better be salty! I have to believe. We have to believe. What's the fucking point otherwise? Let's fucking GO!33 points

I'll go against the internet mob mentality and say that I don't want Sark to leave. I'm hoping the absolute turmoil of this season (some, probably most, of it his own making) turns him into a better person and coach. I'm hoping he can self reflect and make the changes required of him both personally and professionally.33 points

first off, that shit sure didn’t look like a cap gun to either me or my mom. i’ve been under the impression that, for a couple of decades now, that we don’t produce pellet guns that look that realistic. but secondly, let’s say that the gun isn’t real. you still think that’s cool? you think you’ve owned me by pointing that out? like it’s cool for some clearly uneducated, redneck, maga dad to have his 3rd/4th grade son practicing open carry like that’s normal? at the methodist church pumpkin patch? that’s your take? third, the knife on the kid was damn sure real. so you tell me: explain to me why a 9 year old needs to carry a gun, either real or fake, and a very real knife, to the local church’s annual pumpkin patch, with both of his parents there with him and his dad open carrying a pistol and a knife. like, if shit pops off and his mom and dead are suddenly shot to death (this is america), like this prepubescent, 70 lb child is going to save himself with his (let’s assume it’s a fake gun) and his knife? that’s what you’re ponding your chest about? what’s the fucking point? stop laughing and explain it to me, cretin.33 points

Surly Usual Suspect Game Thread and/or Arch thread commentary/analysis prediction for post-game tomorrow: Caldwell Starts, Loses: Fuck Sark. Please leave for the NFL. Too much of a pussy to play a healthy Manning because of Woke optics and it cost us the season. Caldwell Starts, Wins: Caldwell Should Starts! Sark is such a fucking moron. We would clearly be a 1 loss top 5 team if he hadn't promised Manning the starting job and played the best available after OSU. Manning Starts, gets re-injured: Sark should be fired FOR CAUSE immediately for playing a clearly concussed player. No buyout. Get the lawyers on it. Manning Starts, Loses: Sark is a moron. Playing a clearly injured Manning cost us the season. Please leave for the NFL. Manning Starts, Wins: Half of Surly finds 10 different things to bitch about and are miserable in victory regardless. Half of Surly is convinced we don't lose another game until Fall 2027 (at the earliest).32 points

Maybe he's not as polished as we thought, but he clearly gives a shit and has put his body on the line for Texas. Hopefully it all works out here, but no matter what happens I'm rooting for the kid.31 points

As probably the only person on this board who watched every Troy game last year, I can speak to his game a little bit. He started the year either second or third string... It's hard to tell because multiple guys were hurt and then QBs got switched in and switched out. Ultimately played in 8 games and won 3 of them (all of Troy's FBS wins last year). Played a decent game against Iowa. He's got good zip on short timing routes; slants, comebacks, etc. I think this is actually the best part of his game. (We saw that against Florida). Doesn't have great touch on the intermediate routes. Deep outs, overs, etc. I think this is where he struggles the most. Throws a really nice deep ball... Can get 55-60 air yards when he can step into it. However, he can get locked in if he thinks he's got a winner. Couple of his picks last year were from locking in on a WR and not seeing a safety come over on a fade or not seeing a corner drop back and get underneath a corner route. He's closer to Arch on the mobility scale than he would be to Ewers. Doesn't have the top speed of Arch, but has some escapability, can get out of the pocket, and has enough that he can threaten on a zone read. I worry about his pocket presence with this o line. A few sacks from last year, he would get to the top of his drop and would stay there while the play developed, which gave a better angle for the blind side DE to get to him... Didn't have the greatest feel for oncoming rushers and doesn't step up into the pocket a lot. Would prefer to escape sideways rather than step up. Can't speak to his post-snap processing as Troy didn't really ask him to do that a lot. A lot of their offense is pre snap identification of first target and then hitting timing routes. Not a ton of post snap read progression. He had some big plays last year escaping the pocket and finding his speedster down field.30 points

Also hats off to Diego Pavia. I thought he was the biggest douchebag in college football coming into the game, but after watching that game, I now think he’s the biggest douchebag in sports. Congrats, fuckstick.28 points

The defense held MS St to -21 yards on 17 plays on their final 4 drives. The comeback doesn't happen if the defense doesn't play great in the 4th quarter and OT.26 points

I like to think of myself as a patient person, but the last three weeks - during which we have not lost a game - has done more to engender my hatred for half the people on this site than the entire firs four seasons of Sark’s tenure. I’m an emotionally stunted retard and even I can see that y’all can’t process anything that doesn’t pass through your angry emotional filters. Sark and PK played this game exactly how you are supposed to. That’s what made the officiating so egregious. Also, Gilbeau to too dumb to play DB. Fire Akins for playing him, I guess? but you morons who are still complaining despite Sark and Manning’s having one their best games of the season need to go. The fuck. Away.25 points

on the one hand, the sympathetic side of me says, “imagine falling in love with a “never trump guy” and waking up a few years later stuck in a marriage to trump’s personal ball polisher.” on the other hand, you met jd vance and then let him nut all up inside you (on purpose!) so i can only extend my sympathies so far.24 points

You might need those Cabela’s points for clothes. You’re going to p.m. me your mailing address. I’m going to buy the $150 card and give it back to you. You’re going to take your wife out for her 60th birthday. There is no fucking way being married to you can be easy. If you fuck me over on this deal and double-sell the card, I’m going to send Derka to your house and tell him that you think Ewers is twice the quarterback as Colt McCoy.24 points

I've known Scott since 1967. I left John Bianco a voicemail the day of Scott's heart attack, knowing that the UT Athletic Dept. would want to know, and I hoped he would get the local and even national coverage he deserved. It was great that he was honored on the game telecast. Coincidentally, I missed it because I had left the game just prior to the announcement to sit on my patio and drink a bottle of wine to medicate myself after what I had seen during the Florida game up to that point. My thanks to whoever posted the replay of that recognition. I've made sure UT Athletics is aware of Scott's condition at this point too. This whole sad tale reminds me of a Scott Wilson story when his original orange Caddy convertible made its final stop on the side of the road in Oklahoma while Scott was returning home from a Big 12 game in Kansas. Even though the vehicle was done, he paid to have it towed back to Texas because he felt "it wouldn't get a Christian burial in Oklahoma." Now I look forward to Scott's final return to Texas.23 points
