  1. We're so fucked. Setting aside everything else, Sark needs to be barbecued for putting this OL on the field.
  2. What happened subsequent to July 2024 affected the past few seasons and recruiting?
  3. Super Florida performance from the defense. Christ.
  4. Oh fuck. In the QB's face, deflected, caught.
  5. Secondary definitely missing Taaffe.
  6. No idea what Arch was looking at there.
  7. True or not, it's not necessarily true that Sark's personal life made the OL or Arch suck shit.
  8. Untouched through the B gap.
  9. Wingo says y'all should suck his dick.
  10. That doesn't look like a Loreal special there.
  11. Factually, the game was January 10. Sark did not appear at Junior Day January 25. Bobby B reported flu. https://ontexasfootball.com/forums/topic/5734-note-on-junior-day/
  12. Let's add some more facts to the divorce scenario. They announced it last July. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/steve-sarkisian-wife-loreal-jointly-file-for-divorce/ The baby was born around April 2025. https://longhornswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/2025/04/04/texas-hc-steve-sarkisian-welcomes-new-born-son-with-wife-loreal/82898381007/ So, that's an amazing 9 months. I suppose it's credible that they kept boning right up until the filing and after, but . . . . The reconciliation was reported in October, just a couple months later.
  13. The implication is that he didn't know he wasn't the father until later. I disagree somewhat with Nicole that he doesn't want to be at Texas. I do agree that this is a massive distraction, under both scenarios and exacerbated whatever disconnect exists between Sarkisian and his offensive talent/coaches.
  14. The real substance is that he and Loreal announced an amicable divorce and then some months later reconciled over the fact that she was pregnant. That much is 100% public and factual. The additional gloss is that Sark is not the father. That seems to be at least semi-credible, but is not verified. Some other gloss is the rumor that Loreal is not well-liked by the administration.
  15. He's a fuckin loon.
  16. I could conjure a scenario where getting out of the Arch quagmire and getting away from his personal/marital problems means he's willing to do about anything to gtfo with some dignity intact. On the other hand, as a recovering alky I think he knows that geographical solutions are no solution at all. He's even tried one before.
  17. There's a giant disconnect somewhere between what Sark wants to do and what his players can consistently execute. Most especially on OL, but almost everywhere on offense. I'm no longer sure where that disconnect lies, but Sark needs to fix that shit and right soon. I have put a lot of faith in Sarkisian, but I am worried that the disconnect lies between his ears.
  18. The Manning thing is quite a quagmire for ol' Steve. I can't imagine anyone is content with it and it risks ruining Sark's reputation and recruiting.
  19. This is the most damning fact. The second most damning fact is a stint in the Texas AG office. Or maybe that's reversed. Otherwise, he's got pretty good UT bona fides. It appears that he's just smart enough, or has enough love for the University, to know that the sucking up has to be kept on the QT, at least for a while. You know damn right the pressure from Abbott and the BOR to bend the knee was withering.
  20. This is all true, but 956' point remains that they use this petty crime and disorder to great effect in arousing moral panic among those inclined to panic morally.
  21. Well, that's certainly unusual, to my knowledge. IIRC, you're in pretty far west Texas, where you might think most criminal defendants are of limited means. Oddly enough, with a smaller client, billing by the hour might tend to align costs with objectives better than an all-inclusive flat fee. But there's a big risk of non-payment if the work is billed after it's done. Using bail as an example. Under pre-reform schemes, there might be a sort of standard amount of bail in a court/jurisdiction for a certain crime that tends to be imposed in a cookie-cutter fashion, as in "oh, agg assault, that'll be 50k, please." And opposing that bail or asking for a reduction, might not be a very high-percentage of winning, absent some special facts. So prepping and making a bail-reduction motion takes four hours at $250, or $1000. While the bail itself is $5000. Could be very worthwhile if there are facts that support the reduction, but the attorney fees are sunk. But if you have a $10k all-inclusive flat fee, a low-percentage bail motion probably gets ignored in favor of trial prep/seeking a plea.
