We're nearly at the bottom of page 2 and not one of you sorry mother fuckers has mentioned, Bad Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Krampus, or Saint.
Just like Surly dishing out a fucking wooden pickle of a thread. I guess they can't all be winners now can they? Happy Birthday!

I personally find seat geek to be way better for ease of app, transfer, ticket selection and price. To each their own, and I will never bash price shopping.

Considering the way Arch and the o line started, we really should be happy we are finishing top 15. There was a point after the Florida game where people were wondering if we would go 5-7.
That's a matter of perspective. Sure, there's something to be said for the team not taking a nose dive. However, its also fair to be upset with with the off season and early season coaching choices that put is there in the first place. NFL caliber QBs don't walk on campus regularly and for the 4 since Vince and 2 under Sark it's fair to ask when will we take the next step as a program.
Needing clear changes in GM practices/leadership, and replacing Akina, Banks and Flood in a single off season is not a confidence building reality. None of that even addresses the offensive scheme.
For the money Sark is making and our NIL it feels pretty reasonable to expect more.

i think Arch has shown more than most QBs in this season. I think one of the scarier things for his development is the possibility of playing behind another OL like this. He is really good at moving in the pocket. He will stand in and take hits, but I also see him throw a couple fade away jumpers every game now. That is scar tissue building up behind a bad OL. You dont want that getting to a point where it becomes a habit.
Based on statistical performance when weighing against the issues Arch has had to overcome in team support and play calling I firmly believe his performance matches or exceeds all but maybe 3 QBs.
That said, I am certain none of us can even imagine his performance level with a good OL, offensive game plan, WRs who catch balls and an actual running game. I strongly suspect he would be heading to NYC.
My real reason for responding is to echo your concerns about building "muscle memory" in alignment to both the lack of team support and shit heal game plan. There is SO much need to next step this offense and part of that is changes in OC, play calling, GM, player evaluation and play design. I wish I shared the confidence many others here do in all of those actually occurring. I don't.

Wanna know why I hate 12 personnel? Check this out.
I quickly charted what we ran. We ran 17 plays out of 12 personnel, 6 passes and 11 runs, for a total of 115 yards. 70 yards passing and 45 yards running. Seems like its not bad right? Until you look deeper. We were 2-6 passing with the only two pass plays being the Endries catch and run plus the Endries drag route for 10 yards. Every other throw was an incompletion. In the run game we popped a 15 yarder and then when we were trying to salt the game away, aggy loaded the box and got flanked and we popped a 25 yarder. All the other runs were, 2 yards, 2 yard loss, 4 yard run, 2 yard loss, 2 yard loss, 3 yard loss, 2 yard run, 1 yard loss, and a 7 yard run.
12 personnel is pretty boom or bust, with a lot more bust. You take away 4 plays and we gained 5 yards on 13 plays.
I'm changing it from Seven Win Steve to Coach Swip Swap Swill.

I can see a path to this thread becoming the worst on this board.
Long way to go and a lot needs to go wrong, but I think we can thread the needle. We just need to bring in more politics, religion, dick punches from the seasons gone by, and Big 12 nostalgia.
I really am not compelled to rehash the "experience" that was the Big XII at all, much less so with any sort of nostalgic inclination.

But we were told that the program, including finances, were never better.
We were told student applications and enrollment were up by CU and how great it was for them. I guess they need to move to an Ivy League pricing schedule.

2 regular season rematches
So compelling
Yeah but Virginia vs Ole Miss (even with out a head coach) and UNT vs Oregon are absolutely going to expose this fraud.
The 4 that truly tweak me are UNT, Virginia, Miami and ND.
I presumed this would be the outcome but.. it's a joke.

Solid points. We changed our offense from a 12 personnel NFL based offense, to a 11 personnel, spread based offense. You know who belonged in a spread offense? Quinn Ewers. Yet we stuffed him into an offense that didn't fit his skillset for 3 years. Sark only changes when he has to not because it makes sense. Probably his worst human quality. Last year Quinn operated just good enough that his hand wasn't forced, so he made no changes. This year his job was on the line so he made a change. But for how long? You know he is just dying to go back to that clunky ass offense. I mean, we don't have 7 TEs on this team because we don't plan on using them. 🤣😂
Dammit!
Speaking of recruiting talent to align with scheme and creating an identity you know what doesn't fucking help?

This is the difference between coaches that maximize talent and those that do not. 5 stars are generally good in any system. To get the most out of your recruiting the bottom half of your class needs to fit into the system to maximize them.
I fully agree with all the points you and @Thatguy are discussing. For me the most frustrating part is a combination effect. They don't necessarily recruit the best players for the system they want to run. Is that star gazing or bad recruiting evaluation, I can't say for sure. Whichever the reason, once they get them in, they seem no to evaluate the existing talent and force them into the scheme they WANT to run. As opposed to, figuring out what they CAN run and executing that aspect. That's clear this year and last. Since this is the Arch thread, crazy news. Arch has different strengths and weaknesses than Quinn had at QB. Yet even when the staff finds a game plan that works well for the QB and the other players around him, they seem determined not to stick with it and revert instead to what they WANT to run. That leads to an offense without and identity. The undefeated teams IU, OSU and even some one and two loss teams, Tech, ND, Oregon all have a clear identity.
To pile on top, IF a team has an offensive identity you can then focus how to adapt that identity to best align a game plan to differing defenses. For instance, GT is a heavy running identity team averaging about 200 yards per game. (What a dream that would be) However, what's usually worked wasn't going to against Georgia. So GT made adjustments and ended up throwing for nearly 200. It's not great, but they were badly outmatched and a very well coached D (miss ya homie) made a game of it.

I always assumed fans bitching about the game day atmosphere, the music, etc. are like every city subreddit who thinks they have the worst drivers
No fan is happy with their gameday experience and thinks every other school has it better.
aggie, UNT and Tech absolutely, positively do NOT have it better.
Those were the first 3 that came to my mind.

I suspect our run games issues have as much to do with Sark as they do Flood. Im not sure the scheme nor the playcalling put them in a strong position and Sark controls both.
We agree in that regard in broad strokes but we can't let Brandon Harris off the hook for last off season and honestly, our OL didn't get to this point from a single off season. It's a team effort and the ultimate responsibility lies with the HC.

I think its one point worth belaboring. Last year's OL was ok. They got exposed by top flight DLs and we were terrible in the red zone. Our run game simply hasn't been good enough under Sark. Many on here seem to want to argue that it isnt as big of a problem as people like Thatguy are saying, but the stats say different, the eye test in big games says different, and that unit completely melted down this season in the most frustrating way possible given all the resources that have gone into the program under Sark. Behind the timely arrival of Arch Manning as the star QB we need him to be, the OL grenade that went off is the story of this season. Never should've happened and I think coaching is the issue.
I agree in broad strokes with vast majority of what you're saying. However, I firmly believe that the OL issues in the redzone last year were secondary to the play calling in terms of production issues. I also think last years OL was better than okay, but certainly had room for improvement. I don't think my first point is quibbling as the RZ issue were a last year nor this year issue. They have been consistent throughout Sark's tenure.

I don't think we are in, so I am looking for some schadenfreude scenario where BYU beats Tech on a last-second FG, Georgia bombs the everliving fuck out of Bama, Duke beats UVA, UNT and JMU take care of whatever business they need to take care of, and tOSU beats IU in a well-contested matchup. The top four are tOSU, Georgia, Oregon and Indiana with first round matchups that are something like JMU at Ole Miss, UNT at aggy, Tech at OU, and ND at BYU (or really any variation of that shit show). For the lulz and the ratings disaster that would lead to.
My only request the 2 x G5 cluster fuck that some mediots have actually suggested come true, my only hope is Aggy get blown out by Tech in the first round. Because aggy is a flat round circle. Maybe UNT and OU too, so the 10 Mean Green fans that want to attend don't have a long commute to the game.

We may not be in. But if we’re not, it should be the catalyst for fucking the whole system to the bejesus.
In or not, I hope Texas leads the charge in making it ideal to play cool OOC games. Making CCG games disappear. Making portal a single window. Making rev share equal, but NIL really NIL. Outlawing overalls on cheerleaders unless they are female and wearing absolutely nothing underneath.
The only conclusion that can logically be drawn at this point is the system is shit.

I don't understand.
What doesn't make sense about one team that has beaten 3 of the teams above it and 2 of 3 losses are also above it? Also, that somehow with no victories anywhere on the list and a total of 7 wins should really be a good resume.
This computer algorithm is a fraud. It was not generated by any measurements other than an influence by the loses column.

Oh I’m aware of all that. What I’m saying is that I want the game to look in Person and on TV even lower quality than the paper would have it looking. Like 3-2 VA as a final where the ACC has to have a team in and America is pissed that they have said team and demanding they not have 2 from that conference in.
I got ya man. Last game there were 800 yards between them 3 fumbles and 2 interceptions between them. Yet 17-3 at half. It was a sloppy ass game with 10 penalties for 105 yards. I admit I didn't watch it but it's pretty much exactly what your describing with a lot less _efense on Duke's side. (Shocking, who would have thunk Manny putting that out)
So I'm hoping for something similar, just shitty ball with hopefully Duke winning on some fluke shit.
Regardless, it will be 2 teams of monkeys doing their best to procreate with a football.

The loss column is the only thing that matters. You could fuck Cindy Crawford, Pam Anderson and Sydney Sweeney all in the same year, but if you also fucked Rosie O’Donnell too that’s all anyone is going to remember. The hotties don’t cancel out the ugly loss.
Look, we are all familiar with both my kinks and regards and fucking Rosie certainly ain't one of them. That said, if it means fucking Pam, Sydney and Cindy I'm taking one for MY team.
