  1. Final Friday Nuggets Ahead of the Red River Rivalry (Friday Noon) - CJ Vogel Well, none of this is particularly inspiring...
  2. Friday By Bobby Burton Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer was upgraded to “probable” last night. That decreases the chances of a Longhorn victory IMO. But it simultaneously increases the odds that the Longhorns are going to be pushed to fight as hard as they can on every play. That they’ll play with an unbridled passion and focus. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen a level of consistent focus and passion this year. Maybe this game, maybe Mateer, shakes the cobwebs loose. ** I hope folks realize the indictment of what I wrote above really is. Right now, this team is not playing well on a number of levels. The offensive line looks lost against pressure. The interior defensive line is not getting much of a push in the pass rush. And the offense seems to lack the punch it had a year ago. ** The bottom line: We need to see something different in the Cotton Bowl tomorrow. If that game doesn’t get you amped up and focused as a team, then you may not have a pulse this season. ** Despite Mateer, I’m still picking the Horns. I have faith that the Texas defense will come to play, and Sark and Manning will find a soft spot - at least enough of one - somewhere in that OU defense. Hook’Em! ** (Added from Thursday Night) No change for the Texas Longhorns on their Thursday evening availability report. CB Malik Muhammad and WR Parker Livingstone remain PROBABLE. RB CJ Baxter remains DOUBTFUL.
  3. Me too... Of fuckin' course. I believe he meant this current week, as in yesterday's 3 TD performance. That's what I meant, at least. Already 29 points in the hole going into Sunday.
  4. I agree. I don't believe we can expect to truly contend without resigning Story (if he opts out), resigning Bregman (I assume he'll opt out), and spending on a true SP2.
  5. Texas is currently 3-10-1, 1-6 in conference play, and RPI 124! Georgia (RPI 55, 7-3-4), @OU (9-3-3, RPI 35), Ole Miss remaining (RPI 85, 4-6-1). It's likely Texas finishes no better than two wins in conference and only four on the year. Texas school RPIs above us: Baylor - 4 TCU - 6 Texas Tech - 18 Texas State - 50 A&M - 56 UTSA - 58 Rice - 63 SMU - 69 Given the recruiting classes brought in, Texas' RPI is absurd; especially when compared with that list, let alone who we're ranked next to. I don't care that she's won the conference tournament the past two seasons or has made it past the NCAA first round the past three seasons. In 14 years, she'll have made it two the Sweet 16 twice, and no further. She's only won the conference once. She's had her worst season to date this year, albeit with stacked recruiting classes. In short, this better be the end of the Kelly era. It's not going to change.
  6. 53 games. OOC is pretty weak, but playing CCU and AFA is fun. They don't go on the road for the first four weeks (not counting neutral site contests in Houston), and don't have an away series until six weeks in when Texas visits The Plains in SEC play.
  7. and for baseball season to get here... I need some of @Fletch's patented superior optimism and @Valmy77's reverse psychology up in the bitch, right about now.
  8. Regarding? Livingstone news is great news. More bad news on Wisner. Hopefully, Baxter is back. Either way, Simon needs carries. Not yet. They're waiting on Texas to release that.
  9. Update on Parker Livingstone (Tuesday noon) - Vogel Main Article Highlight: X-rays came back clean, and nothing structural is believed to be affected following the hit. For Livingstone’s availability and how much we will see of him this weekend, that will be dependent upon pain tolerance and swelling. In the Comments Livingstone:

  11. I'd add 4) Arch to see the open short and intermediate throws. It's like he's completely blind to anything either unscripted or not a deep ball. True. I'm not sure we do one thing well on offense - except when Livingstone is targeted/catches the ball.
  12. Tuesday: Bobby Summary of his stance: Also, apparently Drevno has been in Austin since May. So, let's not give Sark any credit for reacting to the fact the OL play is ass.
  13. Pure defensiveness instead of accepting the reality of sheer underperformance this season and talking about the fact they need to improve and how. This is what poor leaders, and those who have no idea how to change what's not working, do.
  14. Are you trying to assert that Sark is not responsible for what was done last off season then? It's not a championship caliber team - that's on Sark. The OL being shit is her purview. So is the RB room. So is the lack of scheme fit for running inside zone his entire tenure here. The list goes on and on. These aren't new problems; they;re just worse this year. There are persistent issues during his tenure that have not gotten fixed and will likely not get fixed. He doesn't make adequate in-game adjustments, appears like a deer in headlights when shit hits the fan and the camera pans to him during games, and just gives a bunch of lame coach speak during PCs. It does not appear he knows what to do at all when things don't go to plan, and his record against good teams shows it. He shits the bed against the best of the best. Sure, he built Texas back up, but let's not act like that's fucking difficult in the era of NIL and with all the other benefits Texas Football has at it's disposal. I hope I'm wrong, but all indications lean that he fails to right the ship and win a championship during his tenure here. See above. The same cracks are showing this year - they're just much larger.
  15. I hope things definitely and positively change. I meant I hope there is not a reset needed; meaning Sark doesn't get fired because the program has addressed the problems and is headed in a positive direction again. I didn't mean "shit has positively changed" in a past looking sort of way. It certainly has not positively changed.
  16. I hope that's the case because shit has positively changed.
  17. This guy is in over his head. It's obvious. He'll be the head coach for one or two more seasons after this one and we'll have another reset, which is so sad given all the momentum we had going after the past couple of seasons and recent recruiting. There is no demand for internal accountability. Not pride in process-driven culture. No commitment to winning. For a guy who worked under Nick Saban, he should have learned a thing or two in these regards. Chew someones ass, demand the right things, be honest in PCs, and fucking truthfully assess what you have and what you need in terms of roster needs. No excuse for this shitty OL.
  18. OU likely tells us we absolutely suck as bad as we think we do on offense. It would appear we did have massive problems relative to other teams and better competition exposed just that. It does not appear to be wide open for us. This was spot on. Our OL, outside of LT, is complete trash. "People will show you who they really are. When they do, believe them.." --- The OL being this poor, with no real attempt to fix anything via the portal, is a fireable offense. How was this much ineptitude not foreseen within the coaching staff? We do not have the personnel to run the schemes we want to run. I don't even know what scheme they could run to have success in this conference. This is maddening.
  19. Exactly this. Arch is a problem, but he isn't the biggest problem right now. The OL, particularly the IOL, is fucking terrible, which only accentuates Arch's issues with speeding up everything, getting tunnel vision, missing open reads, and poor mechanics. We have massive problems overall on offense. It's not just one thing. He sure was. Called out the poor OL play often, objectively, and diplomatically, but he made it obvious they played like shit and Arch suffered because of it.
  20. Snap Judgments: Texas bullied up front in an SEC-opening loss to Florida: Jeff Howe (OTF)

  22. Do whatever it takes to hire Lanning. Yes, Oregon has some tremendous advantages that come along with Nike/Knight, but they also have inherent disadvantages given Oregon is a low blue-chip recruiting producing state, Eugene is in the middle of nowhere, and no one OOS really wants to go live/work in Oregon after their football career is over. Lanning needs to be the next hire.
  23. I’m not saying I don’t believe you/you’re wrong, but what has Craig said? I just haven’t heard it.
  24. Hopefully those stylish WP glasses help him…
  25. Nah. Blue was haha. Wisner was 26.
