Oh noes, the big mean fans from Seattle say their coach is going to kick our coach's ass. OK, that's fine. We'll see.
I'm starting to really buy into Sark's whole John Wick theme for this year. This season is the same thing every week since Week 2. It ain't gonna change now.

Tale the loss, pussy. It ain’t no thing.
You put up a shit take, were refuted by our own schedule, and can’t handle it without trying to be snarky.
Show me the FCS cupcake, or take the loss. Plain and simple.
Again, not speaking for OU, they suck.
I never said Texas would schedule an FCS school. You zeroed in on the point I was trying to make about FSU playing North Alabama in November and twisted it. The sad thing is that I think you probably agree with my original premise, yet you zeroed in on one phrase--like an lonely aggy spotting a cute sheep caught in a fence--and you accuse me of being "snarky". It's a straw man; you're arguing against yourself. You win, now go ahead and eat the cracker.

I'm so sick of this "controversy." Anyone who knows anything about College Football knows that anything involving bowl selection and playoffs is a rigged beauty contest at best. The Miss Universe pageant is a more objective process than bowl selection is. The ACC games the system every chance they get. Did you see the non-calls that were happening during the ACC Championship Game? 8 team conference schedules. Mid-season FCS games. You name it, they know the game and they play it just the same as Texas and OU play it. It's so fucking insincere.

That was the slowest sack ever.

We're still a flawed team. IF we win the Big XII CG (it really comes down to how well each team's QB protects the ball), IF we get into the playoffs, I don't expect us to win. Ewers still makes some poor decisions and has pretty bad pocket awareness, and our secondary remains vulnerable to the level of passing attacks we'll see at that level.
I mostly agree with you. I do think a focused Texas team should be able to handle Okie Lite, but I don't expect it to be a perfect game. If the scheme and execution is on the same level it was against Tech and ISU, we should win. Our defense is good enough to keep us in any game out there, but the offense would need to click perfectly twice in a row for us to win two playoff games.

I'm taking 3 of my little kids with me this weekend. Tomorrow night we're going to Matt's El Rancho. After the game on Saturday, I'm taking them out to Salt Lick for the evening. Sunday morning, we're going to grab some Bill Miller breakfast tacos and Starbuck's coffee and pumpkin spiced lattes and then heading home.
I'll be posting numerous photos and reviews on this thread of each experience, in an effort to help folks like you that might not have enough background on all of the culinary marvels that greater Austin has to offer for the out-of-towners.
Your kids are going to hate the wait at the Salt Lick. I'd hit up the Chilis on 45th and Lamar instead. The ribs are better anyway.

I call BS on this... I think a huge part of the problem is the cops are afraid to do their jobs. One misstep, and Garza is dragging their ass through the wringer. There's also no morale around there given the city council has given them the finger numerous times by refusing their contracts. I put the blame equally on ACC and the DA.
I have a friend who got fired from the Travis County DA's Office as a prosecutor. He complained too loudly about Garza's progressive policies, particularly the one about not being able to offer anyone more than 20 years in prison. He prosecuted child sex crimes, and half of his indicted cases were for continuous sexual abuse of children where the minimum sentence is 25 years. Getting rid of Margaret Moore for that tool was a huge mistake.

One of the most important things about the Texas D is that it has optionality. Luginbill, Burton and Gerry were talking about this - they can go big when they need to and they can get lean and keep up with the jack rabbits when they have to do so.
PK is the real deal. I'm amazed at how many schemes and combinations they switch in and out of. They rolled out a 4-3 to start the game at Baylor that we'd never even seen before.

Did not realize Texas ranking for scoring TDs in the red zone is so terrible.
That's partly because half of our offensive TDs have been from outside the redzone. It's a weakness but not as bad as it looks. We are much more explosive this year than in years prior.

"There is an opportunity to put the Red Raiders at the forefront of this conference," McGuire said, "and I don't want to wait 'til 2024 when it's a new conference. It's more important to do it in 2023 when those old two are still here so they can understand exactly who runs the Big 12."
I thought aggy's inferiority complex was bad, but sandaggy is taking it to a whole new level.

So, you’re arguing that Baylor’s endowment increase of 130% is evidence that TCU’s endowment increase of 125% over the same time period of B12 membership (while SMU’s endowment increased “only” 90%) has nothing to do with big time football participation. Three private universities, all within 100 miles of each other. Two increased dramatically more than the other. What could be driving donations?🤔
You're forgetting the charming metropolis that is Waco, Texas.

Seems fair to me. I'm not upset by the Big 10's media deal. They have the eyeballs on their product. It's just capitalism.
I just get annoyed when people conflate their financial success with the quality of football.
I don't disagree. Nothing has ever been equal in college athletics. Schools don't compete on an equal footing in athletics or academics. It's always been one big status game anyway, before the money got so big.

I’m not sure if you’re being facetious, but the Big 10’s TV deal has very little to do with the quality of football. It has a great TV deal because it contains large schools in high population states that love football.
The Big 12 and ACC play similar quality football but have smaller fanbases, and in the Big 12’s case, smaller states where they have 2nd most popular school. So they get paid a lot less.
People don’t tune into college sports to watch the highest level of the game. They tune in because they are emotionally invested in the institution. -

Yep. Murphy's spring game is the most overhyped thing about Texas football since Houston BMDs' opinion of Tom Herman.
This was intentional and according to plan.

And two of them are Collins - a fourth year senior who has never shown anything resembling consistency or high effort, and Sweat - a fifth year senior that has trouble shedding blocks and whose main contribution seems to be just being big and clogging up the middle. You're hoping these guys are Gaskamp candidates that turn into this years' version of Ojomo and Coburn, but like @closetojumping likes to say - I'm from Missouri.
Sweat staying back for another year was a huge win for the defense. Collins hasn't lived up to the hype, but I'm glad to have him in the rotation. To write off either is foolish, particularly when they'll have as much or more help at NT and EDGE to support them than we've seen in previous years.
The defensive line will be anchored by Sorrell and Murphy anyway, and the rest just need to be competent to match last year. Throw in an improved pass rush with second year Burke and Finkley and the raw talent of Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill, and hopefully all those QB pressures start to result in more sacks. This seems to be the plan, and I don't see how it won't result in similar results on run defense with a chance to improve our pass defense up front. ILB will be the same or better with Ford at Mike and your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine at Will (same as it ever was).
You can nitpick individual players, but I think there's plenty of room for optimism for the defense as a whole. You either believe that PK, Davis, and Choate can coach this combo of talent into a serviceable front 6 or 7 or you don't. I choose to believe they can. Combine that with what appears to be the most talented secondary we've had in recent memory, and I see a defense that has a floor that we can win the Big12 with.

You act like we haven't been skeptical of Sark up until recently. This fanbase is jaded about coaches, man. But I tell you what, we certainly aren't going on to UNC message boards complaining about Mack Brown or FAU boards complaining about Tom Herman. That's called "living in your head rent free."
