  1. Run the fucking football you dumb mfer!!
  2. If it was me I wouldn't throw another pass. They are getting at least 4 or 5 every run. I would take it back to the 1930's.
  3. If they lose this game we can all look back on calls like that as to why
  4. Yeah. That motherfucker out there moving people out the way is the "lesser" Brock.

    Agreed. That said you gotta free yourself up to get on the golf cart and ride around every once and again.
  6. 100% agree. Though I don't think Sark and crew would want him at 290-295lbs
  7. We laughed at the Brocks but he out here moving people too.
  8. Ole Miss better spin those safeties down. They getting bully-balled.
  9. That is absolutely terrible, geez.
  10. Look like we might get bad Beck
  11. Looked like they ran right where the backup, undersized DT was.

    Could it? Are you paying attention? 2022 it's Bijan and RoJo. Then 2023 comes around and we start Baxter. Brooks gets in and he is far better than Baxter and also RoJo, and you ask yourself why wasn't Brooks getting run in 2022? So then we get a peak at Wisner and realize Wisner is also better than Baxter and was also buried on the bench only to be seen because of injury. So 2024 Wisner becomes our bell cow. Last year we were struggling at right tackle. Cam Williams was the most penalized player in CFB and whiffed on many a pass pro. The SEC championship comes along and Banks is hurt and can't go. Gooseby slides in and makes us forget Banks isn't playing. Then you ask yourself why did we struggle all year with Williams when we have a 1st round talent sitting on the bench? Michigan game comes along and Moore is in the portal so we need a receiver. We bring in Lockett. Two catches and winning a 50/50 ball, something we could've used this season. He looks to be pretty solid. So knowing all that why would you have confidence Sark correctly evaluated their abilities? I don't.

    Two that matter is still better than NOT two that matter amiright?

    People are going to transfer. Nature of the times. But how many players do you think we could've saved with these two changes. Bigger rotations. No hard stance on portal entries? Think about it. French is leaving and McCutcheon is not. What's the difference?

    This is a board full of Texas grads so I will speak in term that we all understand. Awhile back I worked for an organization at the executive level. Every week I was on a call and all we talked about was the usual, ways to flow money to the bottom line to increase shareholder profits. Most of the discussion was ways to take from the little guy in the company. For example, if your bonus criteria was 50% Ebidar and 50% top line sales, we would give you a YOY goal that was unattainable, or if you were hitting it we would raise it mid year. Anywho, I hated the organization. I wanted to leave. As a former athlete I have torn my ACL 3 times, and needed an OATS procedure plus shaving of my meniscus. I had 90 days full disability pay so I took it. I was out 89 days and when I came back I turned in my notice. That's what people do when they don't like you. Our players are the same way. Our coaches go over their houses and sit on their coaches and tell their mothers how they are going to take care of their babies. Then they get them signed and forget about them. The kids are over on the other part of the field working with the 3's and 4's and the coach, self admittedly, isn't seeing them because he is busy with the starters. Kids feel hopeless. Then that hopelessness turns to being jaded. Then when the time comes and they have a chance to turn around and put a dick in your ass they are going to do it. Now are you going to stop kids from asking for more money? No. But if Sark was moving around, watching all the kids at practice, and giving them a little pat on the back, saying, "Keep working. I see you", that gives kids hope. A bigger rotation where kids get in the game and get to make a play makes them feel seen and gives them hope. Not going "We're Texas" and telling kids if you get in the portal you are never coming back might help. How many players went back to their schools. Pushing kids out of the program for the next shiny object is another one. Many here might disagree with what I am saying but what we can all agree on is the way they are currently managing things isn't working. People turn ugly when they feel unwanted or unappreciated.

    Agreed and i will take it one step further- The O-line has been a problem for Sark's entire tenure here. Bijan masked a lot of the problems at first as well as the general weakness of the Big12. People like to bring up that they got drafted but the problem wasn't if they did or did not have talent. It was that they were a mismatch and therefore struggled against strong opponents. Here is what I mean from left to right. Banks could do both pass pro and run block. Conner was great at pass pro but was getting pushed in the backfield on run plays. Majors struggled handling someone solo in the run game. Campbell was mauling people in the run game but struggled with simple line stunts and such in pass pro. Williams was one of if not the most penalized players in college football and, as we know, prone to whiffing on his assignment in pass pro. When you build a team you start with a concept. Then you recruit O-linemen that fit your ideology. Michigan says we are going to run the football. So they pick linemen who above all can move people in the run game. As such Michigan has rushed for at least 100 yards vs Ohio State 5 out of 5 times the last 5 years, with a 252 yard performance, and a 297 yard performance in there. We don't build to an identity. We just grab guys. We had enough in the passing game but Sark can't help but chase shiny objects. We really really really need help on the O-line but here we are. We will likely grab guys just like the old guys and end up struggling to run again this year. We let a couple guys go that we know for a couple hundred thousand to chase a dude that will cost a couple million and we don't know will work out in our system. We have to fix the interior O-line. It's a must in order to make a deep run.

    100% agreed. I am never trying to have a pissing contest with him. That dude comes and finds me wherever I post. There are certain posters who just look at the name of the poster and start arguing just because its you.
