  1. Happy for Andy that he's going to get to bring Scotland to the World Cup.
  2. Well I guess we'll find out next year for Day unless the mutual parting of ways occurs. I think he's Mack against Stoops when it comes to Kirby. He'll need a VY type to do it. We struggled against both Clemson and Arizona State last year when we were clearly superior to both. He hardly ever exhibits the killer instinct that's needed outside of OU.
  3. Okay but that doesn't mean the players are going to take that and suddenly become the team that's going to head into Austin and whip our ass. Again, if this game was in Fayetteville then sure that's a easy possibility. This is a team that week in and week out can't find a way to win. I don't think that's going to change because Petrino motivates them with games from when they were in elementary and junior high.
  4. Do you think Sark can convert a game against Kirby Smart or Ryan Day? Things would have to fall incredibly into place for Sark to beat either one of them. Of course we know this as he's 0-5 against both the past 2 years. 2023 was our best chance to win a championship with him. It's only going to be harder from now on and we looked shaky last year with better talent. I think he can take us to the playoffs but that he's not going to win the whole thing. We're too up and down with him. We haven't played a complete game this entire season and shit is badly out of alignment.
  5. Bobby Petrino talked about wanting to get the players more into the rivalry by showing them past games. Seems like something that really isn't ingrained in the program at this point since we've only played each other 7 times this century. If this game was on the road, I'd be more worried. "We’re going to do some things to make sure they understand it, because it’s always been a big deal. I mean, the first time I was here it was always a big deal about, you know, the Arkansas-Texas rivalry and the Big Game," Petrino said. "We’re going to try to put a few things together for them and make sure they understand it and know how important it is to the state of Arkansas." Arkansas plans to lean into the disdain this week. "With the transfer portal and with the guys moving from school to school, you certainly don't have that old taste of growing up, I shouldn't use the word hate, but disliking another program as much as it used to be," Petrino said. "So that does make it a little bit different. We're going to try to rev it up, though, and make them dislike (Texas) more." https://www.swtimes.com/story/sports/college/sec/2025/11/17/bobby-petrino-arkansas-football-texas-rivalry/87270221007/
  6. Pittman was talking about the fanbase hating Texas more than they like themselves, not the players. The players only want to beat Texas because everyone in the SEC wants to. We're the SEC's villain. It's the reason we get everyone's best game.
  7. Just wait till we lose to either Arkansas or aggy or both. Surly has yet to begin to defile itself.
  8. Sure. If he leaves, it won't upset me. He has a ceiling that I don't think he can get beyond. I don't see him winning the playoff given his record against Smart and Day. But I think short of a massacre at the hands of Arkansas that he'll be back and allowed to change out his staff. We'll be back here eventually unless the staffing changes work out. That's how the crapshoot of picking a head coach works out at Texas.
  9. You have a weird need to make up some idea that people worship Sark. I don't think anyone does outside of Wulaw Horn.
  10. The whole story of Davey getting tossed to another hotel because he brought his baby and Corby making Davey's wife head out because she can't handle Bama being made fun of was great.
  11. When you have a member of College Gameday spreading a rumor about your head coach and your rumored decision to part ways with him then you have to knock that down. Desmond implied Texas was ready to move on from Sark at the end of the season. CDC is saying, no...not really. Sure, anything could happen in the next two weeks if we lose out. I'd imagine CDC felt a member of ESPN saying this deserved a response that essentially clowned Desmond for spreading the rumor.
  12. No because Pete Thamel has credibility and really good sources. He's not throwing shit out while taking out the garbage on Instagram.
  13. Yeah, it's one thing if Pete Thamel is reporting it. Desmond is probably regurgitating 2nd or 3rd hand rumors from former UT players. That's why CDC got on there to knock down the rumor.
  14. And deprive them of days and weeks of useless speculation? Do you realize how little else they have going on in their lives?
  15. Why do you talk like an old Hollywood depiction of a Native American?
  16. Are you channeling the Buffalo Bill persona from Silence of the Lambs?
  17. It is an astounding loss. Just a perfect storm of WTF in that game.
  18. You're right. I don't think he'll be fired. He could leave for the NFL but I think he'll get every chance to shake up his staff and sure it probably won't work but that's what most programs do before they take the next step and fire a guy who won a conference championship and went to the playoffs two straight years. If we get blown out by Arkansas and aggy, maybe they do the mutually parting of ways. I don't see that against Arkansas. You want everyone to think like you and it's always tough for you to deal with opposing viewpoints. It's what you do.
  19. It was a 4 point game when Arch threw the TD to Wingo in the 3rd. Then the defense folded and they got the onside and then it was over. For their fans, sure. The players only care about beating Texas because they need a win and any win will do. When Texas rolls into your stadium, sure you want to beat them because we're the ultimate villain and way to validate your program.
  20. But you see they hate us so much, these young kids who have no real history of the Texas-Arkansas rivalry from the Southwest Conference days.
  21. Damn, we missed out on him again!
  22. Yep so suck it up because it's going to happen. What you want versus what CDC is going to do are two different things.
  23. Did Ryan Day shake up his staff or just give up being OC?
  24. Well Lane's about to head to LSU or Florida so the whole conversation is about to be moot. Or do we want to do the bizarre Texas fan behavior and think that he'll wait for our position to open up? Sark is going to get the chance to shake up his staff. That's how it works unless he decides to jump to the NFL.
