    Nah. Momentum wasn't real back then.

    I think it's real now though I'm not sure if it's been voted back into existence yet.

    That sounds right.  I wish they would vote out the "wins only count if they are blowouts" rule while they are at it.

    We have yet to put together a complete game. That is 100% on Sark. I've never seen a coach mismanage momentum in a game like Sark does. That being said, if he can take a hard look at himself in the mirror and make the needed changes, Texas will be absolutely scary again. The talent is there, the talent is developing, it's just pure coaching mistakes, at this point. Mack was in this same position around 2003. 

    Congrats on missing the entire Turtle Tom Herman era.  

    We've seen flashes of "all gas no brakes," but certainly not at the consistency that we want and expect from our program.  The good news is that we are winning games that we would have lost in years past.  Some of that is absolutely due to the talent improvement, and Sark deserves credit for that.  Unlike many of you, I think that Sark is improving on the game calling side as well.  Yes, it is happening slowly and there is clearly still a lot of room for improvement, but the mistakes are fewer and not as costly.  

    Dominating on the road, especially late in the season, is not as easy as some of you think it should be.  One Top 25 road team won by double digits yesterday.  One.  

    It won't get any easier the rest of the way, but every one of you should expect that by now.

    Think I would be fine with any of the hot red head, the computer science bros or the deaf guy winning.  I’m hoping that’s the final 3.  Although the bearded guys seem to be pretty cool as well.

    These are my top three/four as well.

    telling katurah about bruces idol backfired on kaleb.  he thought it would be some bonding experience and show honesty and trustworthiness, but she quickly realized how many people her part of letting bruce get the idol to begin with and keeping her out of it.  all she got out of that is the opposite of honesty and trustworthiness.

    Yes, I think that was Kaleb's intent, and we were led by the editing to believe that it might work, but I don't believe for a second that Katurah ever had any intention of going through with it.  Willingly going to rocks when you have the power to avoid it would be colossally stupid.  I'm not a fan of Katurah, but I don't think she is that dumb.    

  5. I really thought Kaleb was going to be in it for a bit longer.  At least he made the jury. 

    They made it look like telling Katurah about Bruce's idol is what turned her to the other side, but I think that was editing bullshit.  She would have been crazy to be willing to go to rocks if she could easily avoid it by voting out Kaleb. 

    One Lulu left.

    I’m confused on why it’s assumed we jump a 1 loss Oregon. The committee for whatever reason have them above us now. Adding a win over Oregon St and Washington is better than B12 championship game. 
     

    How could they justify us jumping them at any point the rest of the way if they haven’t already? 

    I would not say that it is assumed, but they could justify it the same way they can justify putting Oregon in front of us now.  Clearly there is wiggle room for how a team is currently performing. 

    At this point, all Texas can control is staying at one loss, and winning a little more convincingly.  If those happen and we miss out on the CFP, at least we have improved enough to be in the discussion, which is more than a lot of Texas fans think is possible with Sark.

    Maybe not random, but Lance Berkman was the Ranger I hated the most. Dude didn’t give a single fuck about the team that was paying him. 

    That's how I felt about Richie Zisk.  He was only with the White Sox* one year, but I learned to hate him that year, and never warmed to him when he was with the Rangers.  

    *The White Sox were one of our biggest rivals back then.  I still love seeing them lose.

    Heart issues pending, Self is only 60. Titles won past 60:

    • Coach K: two
    • Calhoun: two
    • Williams: one
    • Pitino: one

    Championships sure matter, but I'm willing to bet that if Self coaches 10-15 more years, he wins at least one more. He likely won't catch Coach K, but tied for second in the post-Wooden era surely puts him in the conversations for top-three best of all-time (Wooden, K, Self). 

    He certainly has his teams in a position to win one almost every year.  One could argue that he should have more at this point, but I'm sure we would all be happy to live with that.

  9. I think the only quibble regarding his record is that he only has 2 championships.  That said, only 4 coaches have more since the Wooden era, and only 10 have won more than 1.  They are apparently difficult to win.

    Mike Krzyzewski 5
    Bob Knight 3
    Jim Calhoun 3
    Roy Williams 3
    Bill Self 2
    Billy Donovan 2
    Dean Smith 2
    Denny Crum 2
    Jay Wright 2
    Rick Pitino 2

    So was UH.  If our starting QB and other players keep turning the ball over, we can absolutely lose to TCU.  I also don't love, that like UH, their game before was on a Thursday so they have extra prep time.

    I expect to win even with Maalik because we are better.  But we better cut the turnovers out.  A couple pick sixes could cost us dearly.

    All of this, plus we rarely bury teams when we aren't playing at home.
