Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Nicole44 replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Per 3-11-2025 interview: As a result, the Longhorns will have fewer contact periods and more teach periods with more controlled scrimmages instead of going for 140 plays. “Just a little bit of a shift philosophically, as I touched on even back in December, actually, when I first brought this up. The NFL model is such that I think that they teach really well, and it’s something as I’ve studied those guys and I’ve gotten around them here the past few years — you guys know I like to do that in the springtime is go see NFL teams — is making sure we’re teaching really well, making sure that we’re developing and growing as a program, and not just our young players, but really developing our older players to be really dialed into the details of what we’re trying to do. And so again, I feel like you have to in this day and age, be adaptable and not be afraid of change and I think this is an area where we can grow as a program to be better suited for the challenges of the schedule as we know what it was here last season,” Sarkisian said.- 7812 replies

does anyone trust Lawrence with a short game winning drive? masterful bleeding of the clock we have seen many times from KC.

Someone needs to send the memo Taylor ain’t playing the SB until her man hangs up his cleats.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Nicole44 replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Read and continue to reread @someguy amazing post a few pages back in this thread and it will eventually flip the switch in most everyone’s brains. All signs point to this being a lost year. Sark is 💯 to blame bc of his NFL pro-style bullshit and the fact fucker won’t get in a booth if he stubbornly insists on being both OC and HC. His ego is a major problem for him. for The team and for us fans. He is the architect for our misfortune, period. While OU was practicing their asses off (as well as several schools) like they were Rocky training to fight Drago, Mr. know it all Sark had light no contact practices. And pretty much ditched anything in the spring, so It’s no wonder the staff had no fucking clue what the reality was until faced with it against OSU. And they are still denying it, sark is denying it, his ego won’t allow him to accept he dug a massive hole in the road in front of our team’s bus bc of his approach to the season starting in March 2025. Period. His ego needs to get its ass kicked. Harder than it ever has been. He needs to look up during a home game and see a plane fly over with a banner that says “get your ass in the booth, Sark.” I would think given all he has overcome as a recovering alcoholic he would know that the definition of insanity is doing the same shit over and over and expecting different results. He should know this. And sadly, he is gonna Sark his way to getting fired and will get hired again and do the same fucking thing. This is the reality unless he digs deep, admits we have no culture and just a shit slogan, his NFL prostyle BS is dumb as fuck, and that wins are earned not given just because we are 🤘🏼 if he can do that he can save his job. If he cannot pivot and scrap the entire shit prostyle bullshit he will be gone at some point. those blaming this player (Arch—would he have benefited from spring practice and a game and heavy late summer practices???) or that player or thinking Caldwell would fair any better is MERELY some people not wanting to accept that sark is the architect of our so far shit season. Its him. Sark. -
Since Texas appears to be on the “suck at football” rollercoaster I am rooting for chaos. I am sick of KC and the NFL has finally figured out that Taylor ain’t singing in the SB halftime show until her man is no longer a player and can be in the stands to watch her the NFL doesn’t give a fuck if KC wins anymore either. Eagles have issues. I’m ready to see some other teams in the playoff mix. And it looks like that’s what we will have for once. I know it’s early but I am liking what I am seeing in each division and hope we have some new blood in the playoffs.

Coach Sark Press Conference 10.6 - 11:30am (LHN app or ESPN app)
Nicole44 replied to BigOrange1's topic in Football
I don’t expect our press to ask any real tough questions: 1. hey Sark when you were solely an OC calling plays did you sit up in the booth? 2.Why do OC’s sit up in a booth? 3. Do you think you can see what your opponent’s defense is doing squatting on the sidelines? follow up: Do you think since you will never give up play calling that sitting in the booth might actually help Texas improve offensively instead of being close to dead last in the entire FBS in red zone efficiency the PAST THREE YEARS? 4. You do realize the last HC to be both HC and OC was Jimbo and he was fucking fired? 5. Has anyone in charge of athletics at Texas told you to get your ass in the booth? why not? 6. do you think in hindsight spring practice and a spring game may have helped identify problems with players that seem to have taken you and the coaching staff by surprise once Texas started playing in actual games? 7. do you really think Texas is this close to winning or do you have team dysmorphia? -

That reminds me of the Ralph Macchio “Funny or Die” video a couple of years ago. Bonsai mother fucker. If you haven’t seen this please watch it. It has to be one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. this is basically the first thing I thought of when I heard Le was pressing charges against Sanchez
-
It’s a sad story. I try to imagine a 69 year old dude, still working, (hey gen Z’ers wake up) doing a job I’ve never heard of until reading this story. in the process of which gets brutally attacked by a multimillionaire who ought to have known better unless there is more to the story going on with Sanchez himself. I agree it’s probably just getting shitty ass drunk and acting like an asshole unless there is something more there. Victim will likely sue and should get compensation for what happened to him. And I suppose it’s a silver lining in the sense that he will get something monetarily out of it. I don’t mean that to sound cynical at all. Im not making light of what happened. But maybe the dude can retire. Not that he would have ever wanted it to go down this way. I weighed in bc I got pissed there were insinuations that the victim was somehow at fault for what happened to him. I see nothing to support that and clearly the camera footage supports the LE charges against Sanchez. Nothing has been said about any audio being captured so that may never be known but cameras don’t lie.
-
That’s the mystery. Motive (if other than being crazed drunk isn’t one.) why did he care? Was he meeting up with someone? For whatever reason and concerned the victim in the alley knew who he was kind of thing? I’ve no clue. The victim said Mark was highly intoxicated acting scary erratic and he could smell the alcohol so unless Mark was waiting on a date for the night or something else and just didn’t want that guy telling the press he saw Mark Sanchez in an alley doing something nefarious I have no clue. There is no indication from what I’ve read the victim knew even who he was. Just a random violent drunk guy to the victim acting crazy.
-
Are you saying that @Bevo&Pevois Kathy Lee? Just kidding but my mom’s generation was so “scandalized” by Frank’s affair with big tit blonde lady it tilted their world on its axis. I did think Kathy’s appearance on David Letterman where she took off her bra was hilarious though after the scandal.
-
Yeah something not right there clearly. I only mentioned seeing his recent appearance on Cowherd’s show because it was in major contrast to his many prior animated jovial appearances. I wish I had a video of some of it. I just remember noticing it enough it bothered me. Then googling his name to see if he was going through anything (like personal shit) that might have been mentioned in the news and there was nada until this incident.
-
He pepper sprayed Sanchez prior to stabbing him and in the words of the victim (which is supported by cameras) Sanchez kept coming at him the knife wasn’t the victim’s first or even second option. He tried initially to de-escalate whatever was going on with Mark by saying he (the victim) would call his (the victim’s) manager. Then it just went to shit from there. The victim did all he could not to be in any kind of altercation with Sanchez. All supported by cameras footage.
-
Every once in a while I will watch Colin Cowherd. Dude has zero football knowledge and seems to actually manage to have even less with each passing year if that’s possible. At any rate, a few weeks ago he had Mark on his show. My first thought (and yeah it’s amplified by current events) was Mark looked off. Flat. Monotone. Unkempt looking. It was an odd appearance imo. Not sure what is going on with him from a mental health standpoint or personal one but his brief appearance on that show (and he has popped in as guest on multiple occasions) was just odd. Just throwing it out there but something did not seem right with him. He looked and acted way different from his previous appearances on that show. what happened is disturbing. A 38 year old 6’2” 220 lb former NFL QB drunk out of his mind vs a 69 year old 170 or so pound guy who was just doing his job. As an advocate for victims, and the 69 year old is a victim, I don’t care for any insinuation he brought this on himself. Or that he was doing something nefarious. The video footage collected from the nearby Marriott hotel absolutely verifies this man’s version of events. Otherwise the cops would not be charging Sanchez. Cameras do not lie. as to what is going on with Mark…maybe it’s just an isolated incident (nothing in his recent background has anything remotely like this not even rumors) with Mark getting that loaded but something tells me something ain’t right with him. Could it be CTE? No idea but his last appearance with Cowherd a few weeks ago was just odd. And yeah it’s easy for me to say right now bc of what just happened but I notated it at the time bc it was unsettling to me. TLDR: the 69 year old victim did not bring this on himself. He is a victim pure and simple. There isn’t anything shady to his being in the alleyway and the camera footage collected by police back up the victim’s account as well. Below is one of the best articles I could find on the incident which includes all the new information from this morning’s charges: https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/former-nfl-qb-mark-sanchez-charged-after-surveillance-video-shows-alleged-fight-in-downtown-indy-alley/amp/

Yeah that slogan needs to be tossed in the fucking trash 🗑️ right now. It’s embarrassing and unintentionally accurate in describing the current state of our program. -

Sorry. TLDR version: our slogan all gas and no brakes is not a culture. This is our current “culture.” Edited bc I forgot my gif. Damn. Sark suck is contagious. -

Look lots of teams would love to go from (imo) being wrongly ranked Numero Uno to 27th. Right? Holy shit. Where’s the Tylenol? 💊 -
Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Nicole44 replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Watching the end of the Texas Tech game (a team who has spent some decent money by going after team captains at key positions) and seeing them beat year another opponent by more points than we seem to score in games—the announcer said “McGuire has started a culture here.” It seems like we have an unsafe and untrue slogan (all gas no brakes—which seems in real life like a shit driving strategy and also something we haven’t done except in a few games) as a “culture” and paying a lot of dudes. Yes we are Texas. But what is our identity? I submit we have none. and as @victory88 pointed out the months leading up to our season opener should have raised a ton of red flags. Spring practice? Ah fuck it. Spring game? Nah don’t need one. And while the teams poised to kick our ass were training like Rocky to take down Drago (teams that don’t have an endless pile of cash to blow that have to actually make good decisions on the players to fit their scheme) we seemingly sat there like King of the Hill when we didn’t even win it all last year. What is our identity other than a slogan and we have money to burn? And a bunch of dudes who aren’t gelling as a team bc our HC who ain’t never won a MNC as a HC thought this pro-style NFL fuck practice shit would fly. i see other teams doing so much more for way less. If we are going to have a bunch of dudes just sitting there collecting a paycheck and coaches who seemingly didn’t have the first clue what these dudes can or cannot do before the season started and still don’t know now…now what? What is the culture? Keep everyone’s draft hopes alive? The mess is Sark’s shit to fix. It’s his doing. He is in control of everything. Picking apart this thing or that thing or this player or that player doesn’t change the fact that everything is underneath Sark. I don’t even blame the players. It’s coaching pure and simple. That requires some deep self reflection, a willingness to dig deep and ditch what ain’t working and pivot. To the strengths of the well paid dudes on our team. I don’t envy whatever they are attempting to do now as we are going into a major rivalry game. It would have to be seismic to stop the slide into the abyss of a shitty season. Can we salvage it? Why did it take 5 games and a bye week to figure out we are failing this badly? slogans don’t mean shit. Unless ours means “someone cut our brake line and we cannot stop.” Sark is wearing too many hats and none of them seem to fit right now. I’d say get back to the fucking basics but we wasted the whole offseason. It should not be like this. Penn State BMDs are looking at the UCLA game and asking themselves “WTF?” Our press needs to be asking sark some hard questions. OT but I found this weird: this entire season almost every game there is some new type of record that has been broken from like the 1950’s (like multiple teams and games) what gives with all these 70 year old records being broken this season in particular? -
Sadly, when a HC is forced to make some hiring and firing decisions it’s typically a season after that (barring major improvement) the HC finds himself fired as well. there are a lot of teams I have my eye on (doing more with less type of thing.) the poor AD at UNT is probably trying to bubble wrap his HC and such. I will never understand why Sark believes he can do both HC and OC. Has he won the big one doing both? No. Very few coaches have and most find themselves forced to hire an OC or a DC and then end up looking for a new gig. Even inventive OCs have to stay on the trends. DCs are figuring out Sark’s stuff on offense and the rest of the stuff not on offense is putrid. In short, he’s failing at both. so my only hope is that some people with real influence sit his ass down and tell him it’s going one of two ways. He can coach up in the booth and retain both roles or there will be a bloodletting. If he’s really this stubborn that he’s going to ignore what all recovering alcoholics know—that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results—and continue on this path he will find himself no longer HC at UT. Eventually land somewhere as OC and win something that way and go back to doing the same shit (minus the drinking) that caused him to have underwhelming and underachieving teams at Washington, USC and currently at Texas. He is floundering and we can all fucking see it. Everything is not fine. He’s either going to adapt or he’s gonna find himself on yet another hot seat. Damn. as far as a list look at teams that have entered the top 25 who aren’t traditionally in the mix. For a coordinator. But it won’t matter a shit bc Sark has been quoted many times as saying calling plays is his superpower and he ain’t gonna give it up.
-
I was wondering that myself. 🤔
-
The BMDs were also responsible for Tom Herman. And Franklin was a much better hire at the time than Tom. We all know who they have picked in the last 30 years. Save Charlie but a clusterfuck of stuff happened there including picking that fraud of an AD. And they kinda have some fingerprints on that too. It’s widely written about and known state wide the influence they wield and while I appreciate their support and all they do to get players I think they don’t know what the fuck they are doing picking HCs until they prove otherwise. Particularly since the Mack and Sally days
-
Then if we can run and aren’t going to call many running plays let’s replace the current Oline with the running back room. Maybe this will help. Whoever is playing QB next weekend is likely going to be severely harmed if OU v Auburn is the blueprint next Saturday. Damn. We cannot really quick fix Sark’s issues in one week to a level that we would all like to see so what can be done so we don’t have one or possibly two QBs killed next weekend? I’m not kidding. 6 sacks today from a shitty Florida squad. Jammer tweeted the oline was like traffic cones and then apologized for insulting traffic cones, outside of giving our running backs something to do and telling sark we are suspending him for depraved indifference to attempted murder on our QBs if he doesn’t get his fucking ass up in the booth to call plays what else can be done right now? Forfeit like aggy? I mean there aren’t any other options. The staff seems incompetent on this side of the ball and that all flows from Sark. And sark’s mediocre record as a HC. If no changes are made between now and next weekend I expect bad things happening to what remains of our offensive weapons and our QBS
