    I rewatched the Cheez-It Bowl last night and was not impressed with McCutcheon. Lockett had the nice TD but that's it. I don't think that Wingo + Mosley + a bunch of question marks is a championship-level WR room.

    The hope is one of the 5 stars from last year steps up...they only need 3 to be good with the TE's and RB's around...fix the OL, add a RB or two and find another portal WR that's worth something(doesn't have to be Coleman)

    A lot of people seem to be mistaking "all in" for getting anyone we want.

    Well that and they missed the part where going all in doesn't guarantee you win the current hand, let alone the whole competition.

    All of this. All in does not mean you WILL get everyone. They have made an effort...tried to get those two RB's to portal out and they were talked into staying. They were first on Coleman.

    Just because they haven't signed 10 guys already doesn't mean they aren't trying to go "all in"

    The 5.75 yards per play vs Indiana was the 2nd most IU has given up all year.

    The 5.63 yards per play was the 2nd most Miami gave up all year.

    I did not think Sayin should be a Heisman finalist and was over-rated, but OSU skill players were probably the best in the nation. If the Texas offense was doing anything I think OSU throws more than 20 times vs Texas and throws downfield much more. OSU ran it 34 times and threw 20 times, you do not get much more conservative than that. Most of those 20 attempts were throws around the LOS. I am not a big believer in the idea that if you change one variable in a game, none of the other variables change. I could be wrong; it is just my opinion.

    Or maybe it was their gameplan against a very stiff Texas defense and they don't change much util late in the game if Texas has the lead

    Arch easily be a top 10 Qb, though lets be honest that is not a major achievement. He was a major portion of the OSU loss, though I do not think Texas wins that game if he plays better. OSU would have opened up the offense, but that is a different discussion. Florida was the game I watched and started feeling better about Arch. Though I also felt worst about Texas as the defense was horrible and the OL was next level bad.

    What? His INT gave them only their 2nd drive on our side of the 50. If he could hit a fucking crosser right they probably score on the final drive to and have a chance to tie the game.

    If we had Aggie/Michgan or even OU/Vandy Arch we win that game.

    Man, I don't know, I think I saw that. Yeah, maybe it was on the last page. Oh, hold on, maybe that information was in....yeah, it's in the post you quoted.

    I mean, the post you quoted literally says "Zion entered the portal with a no contact tag."

    I don't know why ya'll expect us to actually read on surly. it's just hand wringing and crying about Indiana.

    (honestly I skimmed the post and saw him coming not that little blurb)

    First up … Miami DL transfer Donta Simpson (Hollywood, Fla./Chaminade-Madonna) is scheduled to visit Texas Tuesday. 

    The Texas visit will be followed by trips to Illinois, Washington and possibly SMU. 

    —————

    And on Wednesday, LSU NG transfer Zion Williams (Lufkin, Texas/High) is scheduled to visit Texas.

    The 6-4, 350-pounder went into the portal with a no contact tag. 

    Should Texas make this offer, it would be as a development NG to add more size over the ball to go with Ian Geffrard and Josiah Sharma.

    Didn't Zion enter with a Do Not Contact listing?

    I don't think Brown chose Louisville over Texas for money and I don't think Baugh chose Florida for money. Not every kid is a mercenary. It is not difficult to imagine that a young kid could get disgruntled by his school's current offer that he reaches out to other schools to try to entice that school to up his offer. But the kid is also in theory working towards a degree and has friends/living arrangements already figured out at his current school. Does he want to see which classes transfer? How long it would take him to graduate at the new school? Find a new place to live? No. He wants his current school to pay whatever he thinks is the market rate for his services. So stories/rumors get started. Conversations with other schools happen. Then his original school comes in and sweetens the deal enough to make all the downside of leaving not worth whatever extra sum of money they may have passed on.

    It's entirely possible we lost both Brown and Baugh due to money since no one knows. Breaking the bank for Baugh makes sense for Florida IMHO. Coleman though likely is a mercenary. If we lose him than that may likely be a money decision.

    Sir how DARE you have a reasonable reaction to any of this.

    Raleek also had 239 on 34 receptions and 2 TDs. One of the more productive backs in the nation last year.

    Underated aspect and mssing from our RB's the last year.

    Why aren’t we going after everyone Cignetti is going after????

    At this point it should be a requirement we offer and recruit anyone Cig offers and recruits

    this…is a bit right? A troll?

    what an underwhelming first day man

    What did you expect massive news on day one? No one we really are dying for signed today.

    Except we did get the big DT we wanted.

    Great no win here. It Texas gets him “aggy didn’t want him” and if we don’t it’s “aggy shoved sark in a locker” again.

    Would rather not hear them mentioned in on the same guys. BTW why go there to play with Reed when you can play with arch?

    Given reasonable time to throw, Arch is plenty accurate enough to hit tight windows. So I'm much less concerned with receiver separation than guys' ability to consistently catch and hold onto the ball. No need for another Malcolm Williams or John Burt.

    On deeper routes yes. On short to mid he’s still got work to do. I can’t wait to see him improve on the short passes. That’s the one hole in his game.

    Oregon is an incredible job. Yet writers said, 'pay Dan Lanning whatever it takes' to make him take the Michigan job. Nobody wrote that about Sark.

    So is Alabama, which is arguably a better job than Texas.
    Yet Kalen Deboer had to make a public statement to get people to back off. Sark didn't have to make a statement because, well, there was no attempt to get him.

    My point is that Sark never gets in any lists for hottest coach. None.

    I think Sark is, at best, a mid-level coach who will produce mid-level results. Yet some of you seem perfectly fine with that.

    Oregon is not a blue blood and yes I could see Michigan and penn st going for him.

    DeBeor was being rumored to be on the hot seat this season earlier on. Yeah they’re going to kick the tires.

    Sark is in no danger of being fired. An no coach would leave Texas if it’s going good.

    So no one would waste time even contacting him. That’s simple.

    I guess it does need to be spelled out for you.

    Oregon is indeed a great job, but is not considered a blue blood/prestigious program by the media. They are idiots. They don't understand the resources and advantages he has in Eugene. Anyone seriously mentioning Lanning to Michigan seriously doesn't understand CFB anymore.

    There have been rumors and angst about DeBoer since literally Week 1 this year. Bama fans wanted him gone after FSU loss, way more so than the bitching from a dozen people on Surly about Sark. Personality wise, he is not an ideal fit at Alabama. If they would have lost to OU in 1st round of playoffs, it's possible Bama would have helped him pack for Ann Arbor.

    It seems you have a rudimentary understanding of the college football landscape, maybe a good idea to just let this go.

    All of this. The nuance is lost on him.

    6 hours ago, Hank Kingsley said:

    You can continue to support Sark all you want, and I will continue to share the myriad of reasons why he's not good enough.

    I'm actually not a hater. No one on this site has spent more time with the players, than I have and over the last four years, I have learned that they are amazing people. They deserve the best. So do the fans who are asked to contribute so much.

    This is where you’re fucking up. We aren’t sharing Sark is great and should be the coach.

    We’re saying your argument is flawed because you think he should be asked about other jobs when he’s never leaving Texas for that reason. Unless it’s the NFL.

    People need to realize we are watching the guy who might go down as the best QB in Texas history. “Wait, what did you just say dbeasy? That’s preposterous!”Let me clarify.

    Vince and Colt were obviously incredible, with Vince being the best ever AT TEXAS. But from the perspective of being a complete QB that ultimately plays at a high level in the NFL for an extended time period, Arch has a chance to be in the discussion with Bobby Layne, who is the best NFL QB in Texas history. Obviously Arch has a long way to go, but he has everything you want in an nfl qb: arm, size, attitude, speed, brain, etc. Let’s enjoy next season. He may not have the talent around him that Vince did, but maybe they can be good enough with some key portal additions to give it a go next year towards a title.

    If he can fix his mechanics on those short simple throws(slants/crossers/wide open guys sighing in a zone) he’ll win the heisman next year and go down as the best one for sure imo.

    Hes so fucking good at so many things already. The things most QBs struggle with. Pocket awareness Keeping the play alive. Not taking off at the first sign of trouble. Playmaking.

    It’s the simple things that still nap at him…but if he works on that the sky’s the limit.

    If it's a joke, it sure isn't much of one.

    The list of the hottest coaches today and coaches actually approached for jobs like Michigan and Penn State somehow didn't include genius and master strategist/motivator Steve Sarkesian.

    Louisville’s Jeff Brohm
    Oregon's Dan Lanning
    Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham (locked up with new contract)
    Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz
    Washington’s Jedd Fisch
    Alabama's Kalen Deboer
    Indiana's Curt Cignetti (locked up with new contract)
    Hell, even His Royal Whaleness, the Duke of Elko, appeared on wish lists for Michigan.

    Apparently, not everyone in college football shares the opinion that Sarkesian is an ace-in-the-hole, cracker jack coach.

    W-Why would he step DOWN from Texas to go to another program?

    This isn’t Oregon. Or even Aggy. Where Penn St may be equal or Michigan a better job.

    Texas is one of the top 3-5 jobs in college. And a lot say the top spot.

    Like how is this a serious post? Of course no one came to him. He’d never leave for another college job. Wow what a dumb take.
