  1. Those of us with degrees from this university, who aren't complete fucking morons, care more about preserving the university's integrity as much as possible over an offensive line. Especially in this case when both of those things aren't mutually exclusive.
  2. Eh, go fuck your own face. There's no such thing as "just taking Elon's money". We take his money and we have to let him have a piece of the action, and as far as I know he doesn't give a shit about sports. He'll want to ruin our entire university. He's not the charitable type unless he gets something in return. The only "charity" he gives to is his own foundation, which is nothing more than a shell company that he controls to covertly further his own business interests while dodging taxes.
  3. And at least 9 of the kids and all 5 of the women hate him. The guy is the epitome of an insufferable asshole corporate welfare queen who lies incessantly about everything, and if for some reason we took his money he'd want to run the entire university into the ground until he got bored with it.
  4. Johntay about to go pro in something that could land him 10-20. What a fall. NDs press man completely shut out the child rapist's entire WR corps. Zero catches. Not sure we need a guy with speed who can't beat press man. Unless he was beating it but the QB was pulling a Ewers. Which is possible, I haven't watched that tape
  5. I'm going to need more than a couple of seasons with a mediocre QB who can't throw an accurate deep ball before saying that. Sark's play calling is one of his selling points to QBs and skill guys. I'm also not taking the word of a couple of opponents. Just because you guessed right on the 1 out of 4 or 5 plays that go out of that formation doesn't mean you knew it was going to be that play. That would be the case for any offensive coordinator we hired, and in this case when the QB can only get it there accurately up to 20 yds the options are very limited. Also, no one is in position to tell Sark anything right now. Piss him off with some dumb shit and he'll have an NFL job by the Super Bowl
  6. That was bullshit anyway. They asked about his dad and he said his dad was a pimp. Then they asked about his mom and he said his mom worked for his dad. So of course the next question would be that. I didn't realize Blue's dad is the director of scouting for an NFL team. If that's the case, then yeah he'll get drafted. In reality it'll all come down to the combine and his 40 time. If he runs in the 4.3s some team will take a flyer on him most likely. His production numbers were solid (outside of fumbles) with 14 TDs, but other than the fumbles the biggest thing going against him is he doesn't play special teams. RBs drafted in the later rounds have to play special teams. He needs to work on kick returns. With Blue leaving I think they will at least be looking to find a guy in the spring or if there's a PSU/OSU/ND guy they like that can be coaxed. Unless the staff really like where either Simon or Stewart are right now. Gerry said Ricky Simon should hit the '25 season at about 5'10" and 220 lbs. Baxter's knee injury was a big unusual for a running back, but that game at OSU will be 13 months since the injury. He'll be ready to go barring setback. So Baxter, Wisner, and Gibson is a pretty strong RB room if all goes well. Could be rough to sell a portal guy on competing in that room.
  7. These brainwashed feckless cunts will do absolutely nothing and like it. Their stupidity and ignorance turned them into nothing more than useless pawns to be exploited then thrown away
  8. The only way this team can win is if Johnson goes off, and today Johnson went off... And they still lost Johnson went for 26 on 11 of 17 shooting and 50 percent from 3. The entire bench scored... 9 points. RT gotta go.
  9. Tied with Tenn in the 2nd half right now. Let's see if they pull it out
  10. Herbert has the choke gene prominent in his DNA
  11. The problem was the OL was incongruent. The left tackle was all world at everything. Then LG and C were finesse stretch zone blockers who couldn't drive forward in the run against most teams. Then the RG and RT were power blocking maulers who struggled in the zone reach blocks. It's why I don't understand not having a separate package for short yardage with Hutson at center and Neto at LG. Get a full line of power blocking maulers to go to in those situations. That should have been obvious this time last year since the 2023 team had the same issue. That said, I don't know if they tried but just didn't feel it worked well. Would love to know if they ever tried.
  12. Many of your are failing to realize our offense wasted a historically good defense. Best in the country level. When was the last time Texas had arguably the best defense in the country? Just look at the offensive output since Quinn came back for the OU game. Look at Bond pre OU and post OU. Go watch the film and look at all the route winners Wingo alone had his man cooked badly in the back half of the season and didn't get the ball. Sometimes I wonder how you people can watch so much football yet not know what you're watching. I'm guessing it's because you let emotion get in the way and don't go back later and rewatch the tape to see what's actually going on.
  13. Then he'll be Ewers? Sturm is an aggy troll. Plus, if we had lost to UTSA, UL Monroe, or Miss St it sure as shit would have been meaningful. But we blew them out so it doesn't count. It's up to Sark to give Arch the same level of defense and offense he gave Ewers. If he does that the offense will be higher scoring than this year. I mean the offense not getting above 20 pts in regulation in 5 of the final 7 games is just piss poor with the level of experience and talent available. And for many of those we had a lot of route winners that Ewers didn't throw or missed. Even that Georgia film guy noticed it on tape repeatedly and he doesn't have a dog in this fight.
  14. Arch will be a Heisman finalist in NY and the offense will score over 20 points in regulation in way more than 2 of their final 7 games next season. Book it now.
  15. The defense tried. Held OSU to 21 pts. In the end the offensive weaknesses got us beaten. Something anyone who pays attention without the homer glasses could see coming. Still the best Texas defense ever. Holding the OSU offense that was on this kind of a roll to 21 was a master class performance. Especially holding them to 14 after the first drive of the game. Elite stuff
  16. In the final 7 games of the season our offense, in regulation, had games where they scored 20, 17, 16, 17, and 14. And we managed to make it to the semi finals. This was the best Texas defense ever. They came close to carrying the team on their backs to a NC with an offense that was inconsistent, and couldn't score over 20 in regulation in 5 of the final 7 games. They were saddled with poor QB and mediocre OL play and still won all but 3 games out of 16. Horns up to the best defense in Texas history. Your QB, OC, and offense let you down, but you were champions this season. Heads up.
  17. I disagree. Just on ability and mobility alone he should be able to consistently do more of what Sark wants by next season. I think it'll be a slower start, really wish we didn't schedule that stupid OSU game, but I think by November Arch will be way ahead of where Quinn is. If Taafe and Trey Moore come back, we have some guys step up in the secondary, and of course round out successfully in the portal, this defense should be borderline elite again next season. They were absolutely elite this season. Having a QB that not only knows the offense, but has the ability to get the ball where it needs to be consistently, will take this team over the top. That, along with weak interior run blocking, was what kept this offense from being great. Fix those 2 issues and this thing can go to another level. I've been critical of Ewers because I felt strongly that his weaknesses and flaws were not only unacceptable for a former 5 star 4th year QB with this quality of weapons around him, but would ultimately get us beaten by championship level teams. It happened twice against Georgia and in this semi final. The defense did their job. Ewers and the offense couldn't do theirs. Oh well, it's been a successful rebuild to this point and the team should improve in necessary areas. This was just the start, and now it's time to level up. Let's look forward to better offense and close the book on the Ewers era. He was good enough to drive the bus of a very talented team to 2 playoff appearances, but not good enough to beat the top teams when it mattered. This is the last time I'll mention him in a post. Let's move on.
  18. Actually should have run Ewers. Get in gun, run the zone read look, yet call a Ewers keeper. EVERY defense expects the handoff on that look because it always happens. The ends crash hard on the snap. That was the time to break the tendency and get the game tied late. I thought Sark called a great game, but he messed up the end of that drive. I also still don't understand why he didn't establish more of a goal line OL package during the season where Nero comes in at LG, Hutson at C, and we just run power with the jumbo extra lineman package. That's the best run blocking OL we have, and if that has been tried and established all season it could have been used more.
  19. I think that's more on Ewers. Every other QB Sark coached improved. Even Mac Jones sat for a few years then came in and just made all the throws to take advantage of the talent. Ewers could never get to that level. He's just extremely inconsistent. He was a good transitional QB for Sark to build the team around, especially since he arrived with ridiculous over hype that he couldn't ever come close to living up to being. That said, I'm very happy I've seen his last game as Texas QB. He and the offense just wasted a championship level defense. This defense should have won the title this year if the QB and offense didn't sabotage the whole thing. They held OSU to 21 points even with the offense doing nothing for most of the game. That was a damn good accomplishment given what that offense had been doing recently, and it should have been enough to win the game. There better be a much less predictable and more explosive offense with Manning at QB. He can make every throw consistently, is big as an ox, and can run when necessary. With the defensive talent on campus and coming in this should be an elite defense again soon. Hopefully Manning and Sark can get it right offensively and get us a title in the next 2 seasons.
  20. ND already hung with Georgia's speed which Texas has problems with, and Penn St already hung with OSU's speed this year in a 7 or game at the beginning of November. That's just a ridiculous and wrong thing to think
  21. I think he's destined to replace Day at OSU one day
  22. And somewhere on early Russian Internet chat sites was some goober named "дважды рог" talking about how Putin couldn't serve multiple terms because it isn't allowed.
  23. I have a very strong feeling the current Texas HC feels the same way
