  1. It's absolutely wild that none of the bad shit that happened to Texas football this season isn't going to end up mattering. The OU collapse, the other collapses, the Kansas game, the monkey (which I maintain wasn't a big deal), the Bo Davis bus thing (which is really just a poor reflection on whoever released it). None of it even matters a little bit. Throwing around some major NIL cash coupled with the coaching carousel royally fucking some teams, particularly Oregon and Oklahoma, and Texas just inked a recruiting class that legitimately has potential to get the program moving in a positive direction. Lord knows they have to develop those players and we know how much of a problem that has been, but damn, none of the bad shit that happened this season ended up mattering. It's establishing an extremely low bar, but after the previous two coaching staffs we'll take what we can get, but kudos to this staff for realizing that things in the trenches, especially on the o-line, were a complete disaster and needed to be fixed. Kudos to whomever it was, probably CDC, who got the boosters all working together for once to come up with the NIL programs we needed to make this happen. Who the fuck knows if it's going anywhere positive, but just the fact that we signed this class after thing that happened this year is absolutely bonkers.

  3. In 2020 Alabama replaced three starting offensive linemen and had one of the best offenses in college football history behind and offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award for best offensive line unit. In 2021 Alabama replaced three starting offensive linemen and their offensive line was massively up and down all year. 2020 Alabama OL: 14th in average line yards, 7th in sack rate 2021 Alabama OL: 46th in average line yards, 67th in sack rate (average line yards is a metric that gives the OL credit for rush yards between 0-3 yards and 50 percent credit for 4-8 yard runs) I don't know how the talent they replaced compares to the talent that played this year, but it's fucking Alabama so I'm guessing it's pretty good.
  4. Apparently Rovell is taking a break from Twitter because he's having surgery. I'm guessing he's having a dick removed from his throat. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  5. "I think the first group of coaches that were there he didn’t really like" Fuck Tom Herman and them forever
  6. I don't disagree, but I also think the chances of them coming to Texas even with the NIL would be pretty low if Herb Hand was still the OL coach. I think having a good OL coach, plus the option to peace out into the portal if it isn't working out, just makes it a much easier decision.
  7. I think playing for Kyle Flood instead of Herb Hand matters a little bit. The money is more important, but having a competent o-line coach helps.
  8. Mercedes is going to litigate the shit out of this. It isn't going to lead to anything, but it's going to happen.
  9. What a farce. I can't believe a bureaucrat would just make up an arbitrary decision on a whim to decide a championship. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch college football.
  10. ESPN SOS: Georgia 20, Michigan 21 Sagarin SOS: Michigan 31, Georgia 35 ELO SOS: Georgia 30, Michigan 38 That's just a small sample and I'm not saying I disagree with you, but what your eyes tell you isn't what the committee is going to see.
  11. This is much ado about nothing. It's pretty set that it's going to be 1. Alabama, 2. Michigan, 3. Georgia, 4. Cincinnati Once Alabama lost to A&M Georgia became a clear number one in the eyes of the committee so why, after 10 weeks or whatever, would the committee think "Alabama and Michigan are the two best teams" and not "Alabama and Georgia are the two best teams."? You can obviously point to what happened yesterday and the committee would just shrug. I think Georgia will get "punished" for not winning the SEC, but being 2nd or 3rd doesn't really matter. I just don't see the committee throwing out 13 weeks of their data and opinions on Georgia because they lost to Alabama, no matter how bad they lost. These aren't my opinions, it's me trying to put myself in the mind of the selection committee.
  12. So Oklahoma State finished a game better than anyone in the conference after a true round robin but they have to play a conference championship game because the Big 12 freaked the fuck out because Baylor and TCU are historical minnows and the playoff committee wanted Ohio State in the playoff and now we have to watch these limp dick teams piss down their legs every possession. I'm so glad Texas is leaving this shit stain of a conference and seriously fuck all the people (from Mack to Strong to Herman and everyone in between) who allowed Texas to sink to such pathetic depths.
  13. This dude made southern California the base of Oklahoma's skill position recruiting efforts over the last year knowing full well the USC job was likely going to open up, said he wasn't going to LSU last night knowing damn well what he was going to do today and then basically spent two minutes in a player's meeting saying 'peace out' before leaving. That is stone cold.
  14. no, they're buds because Sark would give Kirk information and Kirk wouldn't be critical of him. Kirk Herbstreit doesn't criticizes coaches. He needs to keep those relationships good so they give him good insight so he can be a better analyst. It's how the sausage gets made. Kirk Herbstreit is the least objective person to listen to when it comes to whether or not a coach is good at his job.
  15. I'm usually supportive of the players even if they suck, but the defensive line has doubled down after the bitchassedness on the bus so if they want to revoke some scholarships go for it. Give them to players who give a shit. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  16. If you want to be literal, Texas is extremely deficient at some position groups like OL, LB and to compete at a high level QB and areas where we have talent we've been extremely disappointing (WR, DL) so it's a bit of both. The roster sucks, but man you don't get outscored 103-27 in the second halves of four straight games without everyone having a hand in that shit.
  17. Pursuing Urban wasn't his idea. That was pressure from boosters. If it was CDC's idea it wouldn't have leaked to the media. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  18. Three fights left and highly unlikely any of them top Gaethje-Chandler.
  19. Texas has been outscored 103-27 in the second halves of its last four games. The roster is dogshit, but it doesn't speak well for what Sark is capable of if he has to have a roster that is just better than everyone else. By the time he's able to build that in the Big 12 we'll be gone from the Big 12. Del Conte got cucked by the boosters, failed to land Urban, at least realized that he had to fire Herman at that point, but made a shitty hire. Del Conte has no experience hiring a head coach at this level and was in over his head and we're stuck in the same shitty cycle again.
  20. Atlanta sports are so cursed we're even rebooting the classics now. A chance to take a commanding series lead, but a relief pitcher giving up a home run on his secondary pitch and not his dominant out pitch is just Mark Wohlers vs Jim Leyritz in the 1996 World Series, but this time the dominant pitch was a slider and the pitch he gave up the home run on was a fastball. You have to appreciate the writers for at least adding a little bit of irony if we're just remaking the classics.
  21. The way football has changed over the past 5 years in particular I think the areas you want to be really good if you want to be successful are quarterback, receiver, offensive line, defensive line. You can succeed without being good at one of those areas, but you need to compensate elsewhere. For example, having generational talents in Watson and Lawrence allowed Clemson to get away without a great offensive line. Georgia gets by with great line play and whether or not they have the QB and skill guys are going to determine if they win a title this year. The point is, we aren't good at any of those positions. The jury is out if we have *THE* quarterback on campus, but the early indications are no. There's no need to beat a dead horse with our offensive line. We haven't developed the talent at receiver and defensive line. The defensive line isn't as lacking as our linebacking corps, but you can get by without great linebackers if you have a great defensive line and we don't. We've been subpar with that group as a whole. We just aren't good enough at the pillar spots you need to be good at to win. In the micro, the collapses are obviously concerning, but the fact of the matter is, Sark can be the greatest mind in football (hypothetically) but it's putting a band-aid on a bullet hole. How he handles the next 12-18 months are going to determine everything for his tenure. I know it's frustrating to have to wait that long for it, but that's where we are.
