Absolutely, no disagreement there.

I am convinced BO&W is leaving clues for us for our decoder rings. Just little words here and there. If it spells out drink more ovaltine or some shit I will be mad, 😡

Don’t disagree, he went from having an edge to looking like he had been to a busted hypnotist. It wouldn’t bother me at all to see passion on the sideline. He looks detached for the most part but it’s bc he decided to also be the OC and he’s not really watching the defense in the field. He’s thinking of plays in his head. And realizing nothing will work bc our O line is busted that he was responsible for addressing in the offseason. That’s what that far away I just seen a ghost look is about.

Wait… here me out. You give off the appearance of being riled up over the fact that, right now especially with us losing and our team looking so far and away from our preseason rank it’s not even funny, that some fans just simply don’t want to see an influencer’s posts who recently went to fashion week showing off her style? There is a thing called read the room which she clearly doesn’t have bc she’s a self promoter. Ain’t nothing wrong with that with self promotion and trying to make your brand. it doesn’t matter if it’s L’Oréal Or any other coach’s wife. If it were Sally or Mrs Terri or who the fuck ever it’s all the same to me. Fans who have been thru the ringer of busted expectations the better part of the last 50 years do not want to see our HC’s self-promoting wife when our team looks like shit, it ain’t complicated. When your husband is not doing well at his high paying job with top 5 NIL money and top 5 talent that he’s responsible for and he’s been here 5 fucking years and a HC for a total of 11 and he’s the HC of preseason ranked #1 Texas that counts millions of fans all around the fucking globe…some fans see it as tone deaf. Which goes along nicely with her husband saying he thought we ran the ball well last night. Tone deaf and blind and oblivious is a good combo. Why are you riled up bc someone else is riled up that they don’t want to hear from her at this current time? I mean… 🤷🏻♀️ Why do you care that anyone is riled up over her tone deafness? Most of us wish she’d take a back seat right now when everything is so raw and the disappointment of the entire season has come crashing down like our hopes for a playoff and a CCG appearance.

And to think no large company has tried to harness our persuasiveness in advertising. Corporations are missing out.

A Sark special. Keep in mind after LOSSES the past FIVE years he almost always has said that we shoulda run more. I can count at least what ten times off the top of my head he’s said that after a loss. i mean I wish he knew who was in charge of calling plays and utilizing RBs? Maybe someone could put in a good word for Sark so we could run more? Maybe even employ some FB action and so on.

“Sark, another Saban acolyte, has a tendency to turtle up in the biggest moments. And it could make for an uncomfortable offseason for Sark and the rest of his staff if Texas doesn't make the College Football Playoff this season. No matter what anyone tells you, that dream isn't completely dead for Texas if it can win out, particularly over No. 3 Texas A&M, but there's no question the path just got more treacherous. If Texas ultimately does miss the playoff, it'll represent one of the greatest disappointments of any college football program this season given the significant financial investment in this roster. And it starts leading to questions wondering if perhaps Sarkisian's window to win it all is narrowing after back-to-back semifinal losses the last two seasons. Whether it's the red zone issues, the dropped passes, the inability to put together a cohesive and competent offensive line to protect Arch Manning, there are plenty reasons to be frustrated with a Texas team that is less than the sum of its parts.” https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/georgia-surprise-onside-kick-texas-kirby-smart-steve-sarkisian-gap-coaches/ Several in the sports media have written many pieces the last 18 or so hours. All the same. You can pick apart individual writers and slam them if you want but you are fighting a losing battle. Most anyone with a fucking brain thinks similarly even it it’s just a tiny portion of the above excerpts I quoted from the article. So again this is where the sports News Media is at this current point. Be it local. Be it national. Be it a blogger or a true sports reporter behind a big brand or a op Ed writer they are all basically saying the same thing. i guess We will have to see what happens in the offseason. But people no longer think Arch is the problem man. They see it as a Sark thing. Regardless of how Sark or his defenders choose to see it

I have to vehemently disagree with you here. I watched him yelling at his teammates trying to fire them up. No one really stepped up and sark was squatting in his playbook. Too busy to see the train roll of the rails in the 4th too busy being OC. Arch plays what he is called to play behind a shit Oline and few people willing to make a play or able to execute one. He dint cause 21 yds of Running offense. Sark thought we ran well. No fucking way.

In so far as Indiana football since it’s inception what 1913? I think. They have had two ten win seasons. Both Cigs. They should name everything football related after that man. If they kick as and wind up in the MNC no one will convince me Sark is a better coach. If Indiana gets into the MNC…he’s beyond HC of the Year honors. Anyone who thinks it’s a 5 year deal that can only be built slowly is just swinging from Sark’s balls trying to prop him up. It doesn’t take five years if a HC is focused on being a HC without any other distractions. And Sark has them in spades. As OC. He cannot do both and he will die on that hill with a handful of you yelling at clouds. ⛅️

Exactly. Unless it’s a post mortem explaining why we canned a coach. Or a coach leaves. Most people want sunshine pumping or some just want cryptic emojis 🦑 🐙 🐠 💩 with people claiming to know more. And merely hint at what the “more” is. And if the objectivity or truth telling is bad about a HC or coaches or practices or program or approach we shoot the messenger for outing our dirty laundry. No one really wants the truth in the middle of stuff. They want to cling to their truth based on their bias. And when it comes out they bitch that no one told them the truth when it was all happening after the post mortem is written. Jeez.
-
I no longer care what we did last year. It is not the same team. It’s not even the same sark as last year. All bets are off as to our last two games. Praying we crush Arky and Aggie but if we don’t it’s on Sark. At least there are no more bye weeks for us to suck coming out of anymore. Hook’em! 🤘🏼 now with the pressure off we can win our last two regular season games and Sark can politic all he wants about how we belong in the playoffs but we just proved last night we do not.
-
Gosh. Hope he will be ok. Damn. Terrible news.
-
I kinda did. Which is why I was blissfully high the bulk of the game. I expected more out of Sark than I should have and it’s on me. He can either be a detail oriented HC with his fingers in multiple pies and not be an OC or he can strictly be an OC. And I’ve not seen him be a HC where he ain’t the OC. And in my heart I know he won’t give that up. That leaves us in a predicament. If he doesn’t make major adjustments the offseason. I knew he couldn’t do both but I allowed the lure of his talent to deceive me this year. He has had zero answer for much of anything since Baxter went down against Ohio State and it shows imo.
-
He cannot do both OC and HC. Playcalling was fine. But he drops the ball on being HC because he is buried in the playbook. He drops the ball on QB development in game bc he has to also coach the team and call plays. Everyone knows you cannot do both. Sark isn’t talented enough to do both. He never will be. How much evidence from other HCs trying the same thing and getting forced to eventually hire an OC and eventually getting fired do we need? You cannot do both things, I will die on this hill. It was my primary concern about him when he was hired. He cannot do both. And it’s obvious to everyone who wants to admit it but him.

I’m less pissed about losing to Georgia than most. It’s the way we lost. The way we have looked all season. Sark’s crackhead fucked up approach to the entire season set us up to look like a middling Big 12 team next to Georgia last night. What was he doing the entire offseason? What is he doing in games? Why didn’t he address these oline issues? Why did we drop the spring game? Why did we go to NfL Prostyle practices with no contact and light contact that HAVE BEEN PROVEN NOT TO WORK EVERYWHERE IN COLLEGE THEY HAVE BEEN USED???? Why did he half ass CEO his approach to the offseason? Why? It’s year five. If something doesn’t light a fire under his ass for the way he approached this entire season he should find himself not wearing burnt orange. his other concerns are likely the bloodletting that’s gonna happen to the team and his staff. the NFL prostyle PRACTICES he employed don’t work in college, it was a stupid mofo idea. You practice like the teams you want to beat that are better than you are, they ain’t doing what we did in the offseason, the turd we left in the punch bowl last night is on him. People can do more with less talent. He can only do it if he’s running as OC of Bama with a stacked roster. He’s been a head coach at two other places and been around winning big time programs. He completely phoned it in this year and it shows. The entire season outside a few quarters in games is unwatchable and the fucking Buck stops with Sark. Period. we did not run the ball well last night. My uncle who is still relearning to walk after his stroke clocked more yards with his walker pacing in his living room watching his red raiders triumph yesterday. Jesus.

He’s a star. Watching him dismantle Kirby Smart in the playoffs, I notated Kirby picked up some tricks from Freeman’s playbook as well. It was a rough game with the terror attack and postponement and Kirby’s dad being in the hospital and dying after the game. Nonetheless, Georgia has legit 5 stars and all that. Had em all last year. The talent deficiency was huge compared to ND’s one 5 star or something. They talked up the talent on both sides bigly before the game. On paper Smart should have crushed ND. Freeman outcoached the shit out of smart. Just saying.

-
Jesus. It’s hard to argue with cold hard stats. What are Sark and the staff looking at after each game? Surely they knew this wasn’t sustainable? That we would eventually crater. Which we did in spectacular fashion in the 4th last night. Even though 90% of our season has been unwatchable even by die hard fans clinging to hope. Fuck.
-
That’s kinda been my ritual. All kidding aside I thank god for surly even if I get on everyone’s nerves. At least we can talk football. My mom is like “strip the ball! QB sneak! Damnit!” And that’s too much even for me. I will watch all the games. I’m just tired of missing College Football Final on purpose lol. I hide out after losses.
-
And to think my rage was contained largely to whether or not Disney would make a deal with YT so I wouldn’t miss out on critical games. I bleed orange but I need to shelve my expectations in order to be a die hard fan. It’s painful. We were fool’s gold. That’s the lure of Sark and his talent. I fully expected a close win last night since we appeared to be on a roll and we had a bye week to get ready. The end result was we don’t belong with the teams vying for a spot. We got asswhipped. Go Indiana I guess. It’s hard not to root for Cig. Especially since he re-upped with Indiana and took himself out of contention from the coaching carousel and Penn State. They proved they can finish last week. Like to see what they can do. I’d like to think we use the next few weeks and bowl appearance to get in much needed practice and evaluation and growth but I don’t know what the fuck we are actually doing in practice.
-
I like Marcus Freeman a lot but sick of ND. Half my family went to Tech so if they roll I will be happy for my family, particularly my uncle who had a stroke a few years back and is in poor health. I will hope for Indiana to fuck shit up I guess. What Cig has done there the past two years is nothing short of remarkable. Prior to his being HC there in Indiana’s entire history they never had a 10 win season, they now have two and that’s damned impressive.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Nicole44 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
It sucks, many of us who have been mad at sark all year had similar hopes. Or thoughts despite the fact that our games outside of a few quarters were unwatchable, I thought we turned a corner and Sark would best Kirby with a bye week to scheme and to build off the Vandy win. Was fucking wrong, that is the lure of sark. No one denies he’s talented. He is. Thats the lure. But the reality is mid-level team whose roster unlike in previous two years could out athlete our mediocrity into the playoffs. We fucking lost to Florida after a bye week. A Florida that is actually better without Napier. Do we beat the Florida who fought toe to toe with Ole Miss today? I don’t think we do, -
It looks right. I spell pretty decent. Stoned or not. we ran the ball well man. Well. if that’s well what is run poorly? What do most games with W’s have in common? At least 100 yds running? Or similar. We have a fifth of that. If that’s well I don’t want to see what sark considers bad.
