    I know Sark didn't want this to be a rebuild, at least not publically, but that is what he has. I take issue if he saw it and didn't temper expectations, but he also was hired in January and didn't get to really view the team until the Spring. That still should have been enough time to get into the portal to get some need positions filled. "All Gas. No Brakes." is a nice thought, but we just don't have the guys we need to build any type of team worthy of competing. 

    To me this team has a leadership problem. It starts with the head coach for sure, but you also need guys on the field that can echo that leadership during the games and keep guys accountable. This is where you see Texas fail during the games. Sark gets them ready for that first half during prep and practices, but the players just go out flat AF during the game and they have a loser mentality that kills their drive at the first sign of adversity. You could feel it in the Cotton Bowl and you can feel it every game since. Like a dude that just started taking boner pills, our (team) confidence is at 0. 

    Casey Studdard pointed out something this morning that is also troubling. The fact that our Oline has no perceivable attitude about the game or the person they are playing against whatsoever cannot even be described as football. Those guys are supposed to be nasty and fired up to be blocking for a "Heisman" like RB in Bijan, but they seem to not give a shit. Team full of pride-less pussies, ready to get pushed around and prodded until they turn into a broken dam allowing free reign. How those guys walk into the football complex and aren't embarrassed to show their faces is beyond me. 

    Sark cannot air it publicly or to his team that he has a rebuild on his hands.  But, I'd be shocked if he didn't tell CDC this is a fucking dumpster fire he was left and to not expect big things the first couple of years. Hell I would have said that to CDC under almost any circumstance let alone being bequeathed this unflushed toilet of a roster

    There is a bit of a disconnect with Nahlin. He continues to say the LBs are fast and finesse players that need to be kept clean to run and make plays. At the same time he rails against the DL for 2 gapping and holding up blockers, which he said is necessary for the LBs to play well.  Texas has at least one very athletic LB and he claims that Brock was clocked at the highest MPH amongst the LBs, so I am not sure why he is saying the LBs are unathletic at this point. They are just bad at LB play. They dont read their keys. Bare minimum for any defender is protecting your gap. You can be a very good defense if every player just gets a C and protects his gap. They dont even do that. Ovie is a train wreck on setting the edge. On any given play I will bet that Ovie gets hooked and pinned inside or is 5 yards up the field opening up a huge gap for the RB. 

    I hear as saying high IQ, which is Brock and athletic which is O, unfortunately neither contain both

    Losses are one thing, but do we really still think we have a chance at Arch after this performance? The offense has 7 points through 3 quarters.

    Arch is coming. He knows he's special, so what he's into is the best college experience.  And from all accounts, he just feels at home here.  Anyone who went on college road trips to find a college, whether it be undergrad or grad school, knows that feeling of this is the fit for me. And, that's what everyone is saying about Arch's feeling in Austin and at Texas. That feeling of a connection is real, W/L doesn't matter.  He respects Sark and for good reason and he feels at home here.

  4. Seabiscuit.  That's how I see UT Football and Sark. UT Football is Seabiscuit and Sark is Red.  We've both been broken down and left out to pasture. No one left to give either of us a chance.  But hopefully the right fit for a joint comeback / rise to the top.  But then, I'm an eternal optimist.

    These coaches have won titles elsewhere. I wouldn't fire them yet I'd work with Sark to completely turn over the roster Chris Beard style. Send out the quitters as much as possible and bring in a smaller school QB with a winning track record you can convince to transfer for a shot at p5 exposure. Use the portal to the fullest extent and clean the trash from the program. 

    Tucker and MSU added 13 key players through the portal. It's possible, we just need to clear the spots.  We need so much help on the OL and at WR and on defense in the secondary and at LB. And a senior qb wouldn't suck

    None. He needs 50 new players. 

    I'm somewhat in this camp. I might look to replace WR coach, never been a fan of Coleman. But when you look at who we roll out there, we are devoid of talent. That OL is miserable. TE is a fucking joke. We only have 1 receiver now and that has made us just way to easy to shut down.  Terrible QB play.  On defense we have NO linebackers. O has raw talent, but lacks instincts. When Brock, Bush and Schooler are seeing this much playing time, it's a miracle we get any stops.
