    Happy for my Red Raider Family and friends. 

    It will forever be my belief that it’s largely Sark’s fault that we ain’t in the CFP. outside of the fact the committee is ridiculously atrocious. 
     

    I think his approach to the offseason impacted our wins and losses in the regular season.
     

    I see that as the Truth

     

    truth ain’t bad or good or bitter. He neglected the portal. It showed on the field. He went to stupid off season NFL style practices. They were ineffective. 75% of our games  were unwatchable. We played down to worse teams. It is my belief that We aren’t in the playoffs because Sark neglected to plug the holes he knew were on our offensive line and CHOSE NOT to have regular practices to so he could better evaluate our OLine and other positions. Or run 140 scripted plays in practice for our QBs.
     

    but you think I’m bitter. I’m pissed that a head coach who has been one for 12 total years pissed away $30 million on this team this year. 

    Jerry McGuire focused on his team. The portal. The money he was given. The development. Regular practices and so on. Sark didn’t. It is that simple to me. 
     

    it’s not bitterness it’s acceptance. I don’t believe Sark is HIM.  I hope you and all the other sexist assholes on this site are right. I hope that Sark can be both HC and OC and stay on top of things the best coaches stay on top of. I hope we can win it all next year. I want to win it all. 
     

    Hate on me all you want. We aren’t in the playoffs bc of Sark. 

     

    Best and most accurate summation of the season. Only thing I would add is that the horrible Florida game somehow came off a bye week. Sark had a golden opportunity this season and let it slip away. Maybe next year will be better.

    I question the legitimacy of this printed version as said price is 2x what is acceptable on this site. Tree-fiddy or GTFO. 

    Okay, you people are not taking this seriously. PLEASE stop re-posting gratuitous images like the one below with its inappropriate word-play. We are trying to get funding and they are damaging our credibility.

    No offense but you picked college bball royalty the bluest of the bluebloods in college basketball to prove your point. They choose their bball players. They don’t need to sell anything or try and market their program. The best players will go there regardless. I bet their football games are gimmicky to try and recruit and sell to new fans if they can get it. 

    True, but I already mentioned that I experienced the same level of college greatness at a Purdue game. They're hardly top-tier, yet they haven't debased their game experience the way other schools including Texas have, where it's sell, sell, sell.

    OU doesn't have the money to do the shit we do, and when half the crowd is hopped up on meth you gotta keep a good eye on keeping them from getting overstimulated, which Venables offense compliments nicely.  I got no idea what Notre Dame does, but Jesus and shit.  

    I recently went to a Duke basketball game. It was a pure college sports experience. There wasn't a cacophony of promos, giveaways, sponsorships, shitty popular songs, etc. It was all about the students, the game, the school, the traditions, etc.

    So I guess someone should inform them that they need to lower their experience to a cheap, generic, gimmicky shlock of marketing crap to attract the kids.

    All of you so hooked Longhorn football that you have thousands of posts on this board, go to games etc don't seem to understand that game production isn't meant for you.  You're already so jonesing for your next fix that they don't need to waste time on your addicted ass.   It's meant for the 18-34 demographic and the casual fan checking things out and it's meant to move them from where they are today to being a 55 year old curled up on the floor in a fetal position in mid July because the next 6 weeks seems so far to go and you got the shakes real bad.  The 18-34 demographic loves all that shit.  It's called marketing....yea it sucks at times.  It isn't changing.  

    Okay, but how come other major programs, like OU and Notre Dame haven't turned their game experience into Hannah Montana and somehow, they manage to keep the seats full year after year? Could it be that true fans of all ages don't need to be entertained like they are watching Disney+?

    I know lots of 20's Longhorn fans through my daughters and my interns, (no pics for you degenerate bastards) and I have yet to hear one of them ask for more mariachi music or more 'find the ball' games on the scoreboard.

    100% yes.  No team has ever subverted their own home-field advantage like we do.  We win home games *despite* the non-stop effort of the jumbotron to distract and silence the home crowd.

    We do sooooooooo much dumb shit to take 200,000 eyes off the field, and tranform the audience into passive consumers watching fucking commercials during a game.  It's awful.  I cannot count how many times we're in a 1-score game in the 4th quarter, and trying to get a critical 3rd-down stop on defense... so we BLAST a lip-sync contest or a Foot Locker "follow the hidden ball" dumb shit, or we try to make "who wants a t-shirt" happen.  It's just monumentally stupid.  Idiocracy stupid.  

    This 1,000%.

    In the fourth quarter of the Clemson game, when the momentum has swung to them, nothing fires up our defense like playing the "Which horse will win the race? game on the Jumbotron.  

    The Portland Trailblazers used to employ an actually very funny use of music. Whenever their team was hit by a questionable call or foul, they would play the theme from "The Twilight Zone," haha.

    I was disappointed in the Twins Cam or whatever they call it that they passed on the most obvious one ever...the Clark Lea/ Lex Luthor one was unexpected and great, this would have been the funniest thing ever to happen at DKR

    "How A&M's loss is GOOD news."

    I won't bother posting the video, which is unwatchable. 

    His premise is that Ohio State's loss last year propelled them to the championship and A&M can do the same. Right. 

    Yeah, cause A&M and Ohio State programs have so much in common.

    It’s all about recruiting - loud music relates to young adults for game environment. The same at bball games. If the recruits like it than the olds will have to deal with it. I’m an old sorta btw

    The loudest game I've ever been to was when Texas visited Purdue in basketball. The deafening volume of noise was generated by the Purdue band and the fans, who did chants in unison throughout the game. They're currently ranked #1, so it works for them. 

    Edit: Apologies for derailing the thread. I'll get it back on track. You have to give A&M a break. They've been playing all season with a QB, who was the backup to Weigman, who was a backup to Max Johnson, who was a backup to Haynes King, who was a backup to Zach Calzada.

    So I watched the replay of the game on sky view. Are the music between plays and the play by play announcer as annoying in person as they seem on that replay?

     

    I haven’t been to a game in a while. 

    Yes, it sucks. There is a cretin level of endless promotional crap being directed at the poor fans. Bits of popular songs are blasted throughout the timeouts. Plus, as mentioned, there is the dreaded mariachi band, giveaways, fun facts, quizzes and hated Bob Cole. It’s painful and they do the same shit during the basketball games. I’ve been to college games at other major schools and no one else I’ve seen piles on the crap the way UT does.

  10. I do actually agree with this comment:

    The whole game day experience there is very cartoonish and carnival-like. It seemed like a circus with a football game interspersed the commercial breaks. There were multiple cutesy-like events going on at the same time…a mariachi band playing…all very made up.

  11. Honestly, I don't even have to create any Aggie content. I can't possibly top what they create: 

    5342 days since A&M beat tu

    This appeared on the DKR big screen during the game. Neglects to mention that tu refused to play us from 2012 to and incuding 2023, which accounts for about 4400 of those days.

    The slime ball AD at tu, DeLoser Dodds, refused to play us and even told the other Big 12 schools not to play us.. They were afraid of JFF.

    I look at this as typical tu butt hurt chicken **** caused by our failure to ask them for permission to join the SEC.

    Hanging with daughters and new son-in-law at Koko's Bavarian and who do we run into but the LEGEND himself @immamac.

    Day started at Meanwhile Brewery. If you haven't visited, check it out. They make amazing craft beers (available at HEB) and the food trucks are good.

  13. My problem is less around the objective results of the season and more around the intangibles.
     

    For some reason, this season has just been less fun than the previous ones. The opening season loss, the depressing wins against lowly competition, the Florida debacle, the near-escapes against mid-tier teams, etc. Perhaps the expectations made the season less enjoyable. I expect a better team next year, provided the proper portal work is done.

    getting paid $50M to sit at home because you did a poor job at work is such a boss move.

    People are laughing at Brian Kelly and James Franklin while they each make somewhere around $20,000 a day.
