2025 Week 13: Arkansas @ Texas.
The fuck are you talking about coach search. At 6:59 Saturday night we're top 10 in the nation with a chance to be top 5, what else do you want at this point in the season. We got beat by a better team going away. Im not happy about it but stringing Sark up after back to back F4, the fuck outta here with that shit. The portal and Texas $ this thing turns on a dime one year to the next. Guy thought we had it, he missed it with the OL and he isnt one dropping passes literally thrown perfectly. Sark isnt going anywhere unless he chooses. Now IF he were to leave for the NFL, we'll know in 3 -4 weeks and we name our coach, Kiffin, Riley , Franklin, are at least lateral and some would say upgrades in certain areas. Check yourself, its not as bad as it seems.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
LSU would certainly be a better job imo. That states elite in-state talent recruits it self. Kiffin is not known for his Defense but he could certainly get enough Defensive talent to attract a great DC. I would take LSU over UF and OleMiss any day

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
The margins are razor thin at the very top. IMO it comes down to killer instinct. I have never experienced in my Texas time of being a student, alum and fan, a HC at Texas with the IT factor. Day I believe has it, Kirby, Saban, Urban, Stoops all had it. I work in a highly entrepreneurial field with family owned and operated businesses. You can have a great line in a prime real estate location, but if the leader (in my case the owner and GM) is lacking equal parts supreme organizational skills, accountability measures, charisma, experience, competency and known verifiable results (ie skins on the wall), a competitor possessing those attributes of success, with equal product and less desirable addressable market will eat their lunch. I see it every day. Speed of the captain, speed of the ship is a tired old saying, but it means something. It means something in business, in sports management, in how one runs his household etc.. In this analogy, Texas has the product, the market and resources, but the Leadership ( Ie head coach....we have the AD) is lacking. Does your leader have 25 years experience ? Or one year experience , 25 times? I think the answer to your point is we have had the latter and have had the ladder for a long time. We make coaches so rich here and provide all the resources that they lose the granular day to day attention to detail that manifests, in for example not accounting for the pre-snap sugar huddle motion, or the "don't jump offsides" key word that should like "fire, fire , fire"....or "this is a spot where UGA likes to use a fake (last years SEC CG) or yesterday's on side. These are example of the most minute details that i have to believe is cultural and rote to the coaches mentioned above. The words i keep coming back to are preparation and attention to detail. I was told a story by a client who is BMD at Bama about Saban and his John Wooden shoelaces. He told the operations guy he wanted him to bring the recruit in to his office and he would be tying his (Saban) shoe when he (operations guy) and the recruit walked in. He reminded the operations guy not to say anything the next time he brought a recruit in, as he would be tying the same shoe. Point is Saban wanted to demonstrate to the kid how tying his shoes mattered, and that was how he started the conversation. Its a story as old as time, that Wooden would start every season teaching his players how to tie their shoes and put their socks on. The culture started right there in that moment. I dont think Texas has had a coach like that. Its anecdotal, but we wont win consistently big until we have a head coach who doesn't practice to get things right, they practice until they cant get it wrong. Kirby is there and its showing. UGA's level of execution last night was all coaching, leadership and preparation.

2025 Week 13: Arkansas @ Texas.
Very true, the committee seems to like us. Yes we need chaos. I hadnt thought of a Bama loss, it could happen, 3 loss Bama and 3 loss Texas would be interesting debate and the recency bias someone mentioned would certainly be in play. Our W over OU and Vandy would loom large. Ark is the focus, get the W there and lets see what happens. I recall years ago watching OU lose to OSU and that put us in.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
This season sure. The new age of CFB is a team can change literally overnight. We need to open the wallets and sign 10-15 of the best available at just about every position. Tech did it, IU did it...in this new age of CFB one season has zero impact on the next in terms of forecasting.....the offseason is now more important and we need be as aggressive as any team.

2025 Week 13: Arkansas @ Texas.
That was exactly correct, until Bama/OU. We all knew 2-1 prior to UGA game would give us a shot. However we needed Bama to beat OU. OU will likely win out now (LSU and Mizzou) and SEC isnt getting 6 in : TAMU, UGA, Bama, OU and Ole Miss are in. Texas even if we beat TAMU is outside. Bama fucked us unless OU were to slip up unfortunately.

Texas @ Georgia November 15, 2025 - The Beginning or The End
I believe those bad odds are dramatically reduced due to this part of your analysis: in which the opposing offense has struggled to score on your defense all game That is precisely why its not a bad strategy. Very calculated risk with minimal downside.

Of course she it, they redshirt Miss Americas in Tuscaloosa.

What would the play be for Mora? UW if Fisch were to leave?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
I like it. Kid is already 6'2" 215lb. if the services are to believed and could easily add 10-15.

2023 DL Sydir Mitchell
Kid needs to go home, Delaware or Rutgers and get snaps. Period end of story. He can get on the field at a lower level school and see if that can translate to a draft eligible score after next season. He needs better advise, P5 schools like Texas and LSU are not for him, from what Ive read on the boards and seen in action.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Could be a good inside the 5 type running back to cure our redzone/goal line woes. Big strong battering ram type back we have lacked for many years, or at least since Roschon Johnson...we can use him as lead FB in certain situations.

Many talk about College Football being better when Texas is good, that same group talks about College Football being worse when the sheep are good.

Games I wish we would schedule, solely for the road trip
Ive been to Stanford and Rutgers to see the Horns. Both great trips outside of us losing to a shitty Cardinal team. Tailgating was great in Palo Alto, Texas Exes had an amphitheater for us...our traveling party rented a large bus with a keg for the drive down from SF. Rutgers was just OK, though i traveled with my boss who played in 80's for the Scarlet Knights, so he and his buddies were really a fun group. Saw the Horns vs tOSU in Natty year, enough has been said about that debacle . Went to the Dome vs Tulane, Miss St and a few Big12 road games. Plus several bowl game (Sugar vs UW and Va Tech), Rose vs Bama and couple Cotton Bowls. Id vote for Washington and Oregon...maybe NW at Soldier Field but dont like NFL venues overall for college. UVA could be cool. I wouldnt mind a Utah road trip as SLC is great.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
More like Prosper now vs Plano... thats the suburb producing most of the Kevyn, Brycen, Lathon, Kristian and Zaden's of the North Dallas world. Throw in a Blayklee and a couple Raygans and you have your self a mega Church youth group.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
RB Cook from Jax St is from Texas , believe he started out at TCU. He will have a lot of offers in the portal if not NFL bound...we should look at him, he is legit.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Dillingham was on staff at Auburn for 1 year, OC in 2019, got as high as #7 with Bo Nix. After Dillingham left, Gus Malzahan Offenses struggled and he was gone 2 years later depsite having Bo Nix. if he went to Auburn, the QB likely follows and they are instantly a contender with their WR corp

Road Trip - Athens (UGA)
From what I remember working a couple days in Athens several years ago....Athens makes west campus look like Beverly Hills. West campus is dumpy, congested with too many new structures built on top of or next to older run down places. Athens is basically the same but uglier. To use a nicer word, Athens is gritty and on gameday there is trash/garbage everywhere. On the other hand, the eye candy is second to none.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Basically calling us gays. Pindos is slang for gay and adding the stan implies we are a country of gays Pindostan Russian term for America, combining "Pindos" (equivalent of "gay", "a homosexual male") with "-stan", meaning roughly "Country of Gays". Pindostan is located in North

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Just got a call from a rep who works on my team, hes stuck in a long TSA line and is now renting car to drive the 6 hours to Jackson,MS to work for a couple days. Incidentally, I flew out of Austin yesterday morning to New Orleans. My flight was 8:55AM. My spidey senses were peaked with the govt shutdown and i was anticipating problems. With the time change, i was up at 5AM (one reason i like 11am games) and decided to Uber to the airport before 6AM. Of course, no issues at all when you have time!? As it turns out there was a 6:30 AM to New Orleans so i hopped on the early flight. There were literally 10 other passengers on the SW flight. Travel Gods were with me this time. Thank goodness. Hope they get this mess cleaned up soon.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Not sure what you are talking about. Sark called a brllliant game. the 3rd and 6 to Moseley was to win the game. Some would argue you run it there and then run it again, but THAT would be a bitch move. Sark put his nuts on the field with that play.
