  1. Say what you want about Elko, but the man understands his audience.
  2. Huh? Penix would have torched any secondary playing the way he and his receivers did last night. But the Texas secondary also got lit up by Donovan Smith, Will Howard, and Rocco Becht. It's a coaching problem.
  3. Sark showed in Washington and the last three years that he can build a team. Now we need to see if he can maintain what he's doing right (recruiting, navigating the portal, S&C, support staff, player development) and address weaknesses (secondary and game management).
  4. I'd be more willing to buy this argument if the secondary didn't struggle against KSU, Houston, etc.
  5. I assume Washington take a big step back next year with the loss of Penix and Odunze. They seem like a rich man's version of TCU from last season.
  6. I doubt it. Experience matters. A lot. And he's already pretty good.
  7. Washington is Exhibit A that high-level QB play can take you a long way. If Ewers keeps progressing, anything is possible. He's got to make a leap though.
  8. Now we find out how good a coach Sark is. That was a disappointing end to a great season and Sark should be proud of what his team accomplished this year. That said, there are some clear issues that need to be fixed. Saban is the GOAT because, win or lose, he continually adjusts. Sark needs to do the same. There's no shame in getting lit up by Penix, but the secondary struggled way too much this year. Something's got to change back there. The offense struggled in the red zone most of the year. Some of that was Ewers, some play calling, some sloppy execution. Whatever it was, Sark needs to work it out. Clock management was iffy at times. The team too often played down to its competition. Hopefully Sark can make whatever changes are necessary to win the whole thing next year.
  9. I'm not sure I've ever paid attention to Bohls, but I remember the locals being convinced they were going to crush Texas.
  10. Texas is like Schrodinger's cat - depending on the situation, it somehow controls and manipulates everything while also being insignificant and weak.
  11. "Listen, years ago I rode with Franchione against Mack Brown. I lost many sheep but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Sherman became President, I supported him – but he stole my sheep. Then came Rumlin and he stole my sheep. Then it was Jimbo's term, and he stole my sheep too. Now comes Mike Elko to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my sheep. What makes one different from the others? My sheep don’t know. All over College Station coaches come and go. Coaches rise and fall. They all stole your sheep. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them." - Old Army in what appears to be a Soviet bunker.
  12. It does in this case. Both literally and figuratively.
  13. There were 4 games between the Big 12 and the Pac 12. Oregon beat Tech by 8. Utah beat Baylor by 7. Colorado beat TCU by 3. OSU beat ASU by 12. In 4 games, the point differential was 6 points. Seems pretty even. Oh, and Tech is currently beating Cal by 10.
  14. I agree, though even the move to USC wasn't as bad as Riley leaving OU for USC. That's where Sark got his start so he had strong connections to the program. I could see being disappointed, but hating the guy seems a bit much.
  15. The Sark hate is weird. He left the program in much better shape than he found it and UW got a great coach when he left. That wasn't a Jimbo/FSU situation where he burned down the program on the way out.
  16. I was today years old when I learned there are people who refer to udders as "boobs."
  17. Tommy Tuberville's last dinner as the Tech coach.
  18. I had the same question. His highlights aren't bad, but he doesn't really have many "holy shit" plays. With the portal, I guess there's not much downside in taking a risk on those types of players. Also, aggy tears.
  19. I'll tell the truth. I'm a little confused by your tactics.
  20. I don't want to hear anything about what they did on a grass knoll.
  21. Not true. He's had more than his share of lettuce served with two all-beef patties, special sauce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun.
