  1. I thought I was actually going to read an entire thread on aggyRus without the mention of tu... Almost did. Until the last post.
  2. So the state designs their costume? Did not know. FUCK! Now I have to run for governor. If I win, I swear on everything holy, I will have them wearing clown suits before I leave office.
  3. Rats looking to bail before Texas comes along and sinks the swag (row) boat.
  4. He's making an official visit this weekend and is supposed to make his announcement Monday. This weekend is supposed to be his last visit anywhere, and there are some rumors Evan Stewart is going to be with him this weekend. On a different note, Arch Manning and family are fine with a redshirt year wherever he goes. Eli redshirted his first year. The Manning's know there is no reason to rush things and a year learning the system before taking the reigns is nothing but a positive, and Quinn (more than likely) will only be at his next destination 2 years before moving to the next level.
  5. His breakthrough season last year had Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Auburn end the season with a winning record. Auburn was 1 game over .500 while the rest of the conference ended .500 or worse. Take away the 4 cupcakes they play each year and the SEC looks on par with everyone else... It would look even more lopsided if you gave the bottom half another loss and took a win away like they would have in a 9 game conference.... In fact you would probably see less perfect or one loss SEC teams at the end of the year. Common to drop an unexpected game to a conference rival than to a complete buy-a-win scrub late in the year.
  6. I have serious ??? about PK. I had them before the season started. The Pac has been down for as long as we have for the most part, so he seldom faced what he was going to on a weekly basis in the Big 12 (scheme and talent)... LR is going to kill it out there. Especially if we have one of the best defensive minds the Pac had to offer.
  7. No Keilan. No Worthy. Possible 4 dead QBs, and a Bijan in the portal.
  8. I agree. It's surprising we put up the numbers we did, especially after the injuries... And then this team broke mentally when it lost to OU the way it did. And I'm not sure any coach would have been able to fix that, maybe Saban, maybe not... Let a team even hint of a comeback and the mental mistakes began to pile up... I'm not saying Sark is the answer, but I'm not saying he isn't... 1 year with the shit show he inherited isn't enough for me to make up my mind. This year should give us an idea of what he is capable of bringing. Wednesday will be interesting. I'm curious to see how we do. So far I'm happy with what he's been able to do recruiting/retaining for us especially with what we've produced for almost a decade and a half now. We've had some whiffs (understandable), but he held onto Bijan, brought us Worthy, and if He lands Ewer, it could set us up for a better than expected class this year...
  9. All that also, but Ewer decommitting and going elsewhere was the final straw with a number of big cigars who got it done. But it wasn't like they really had to twist any arms. He was likely gone after this season either way seeing that neither QB we have would have thrived in his offense and Worthy is here because of Sark.
  10. The biggest reason Tom was fired when he did, has to do with the loss of Ewer. If he would have followed up the win vs the dawgs with a solid year, he would still be here. But since he sucked as a coach, he cost himself the job, just like the coach he replaced.
  11. I'm tired of the new coach smell. I'm ready for a coach who gets it done long term until he gets that classic coach smell.
  12. It will be interesting to see who all makes a visit to the 40 this weekend.
  13. My confidence is at 100%. In other news, the Pancake Factory is starting to get national attention. I expect money to pour in before signing day. Things are about to get real. It's time we put real substance behind "we're Texas".
  14. I would put the odds at 80% yes, but Ewer this generational type talent so practically everyone in the country is making a second chance run at him.
  15. Hope you can. Does it mean anything that Sark was the first in home they scheduled? He met with the family Friday night shortly after Ewer announced. Guess he just happened to be in the neighborhood. It's also possible Tech worked themselves right out of contention by trying to pressure him for a commitment yesterday when the family and Quinn making sure they do their due diligence after the way tOSU didn't work out. They do like Sark a lot.
  16. And to think, this should have been his senior year. He will get bigger and stronger... Card didn't have a perfect 1.000 rating.
  17. I'm pretty sure I already covered that in a prior post a page or so back.
  18. I might be wrong, but I don't think he visited Tech his recruitment cycle so I can see him deciding to at least take a look. But after being at tOSU for a year, Tech's facilities are probably underwhelming. Him naming the 3 Texas schools is likely because he found Columbus underwhelming and decided the state of Texas is where he wants to play. I would say Texas is in the lead, but aggy is a very close second. But I believe Sark feels him in.
  19. Kids got somewhat of a Simms type arm but probably more accurate. He can make all the throws either from the pocket or while on the move. He doesn't have happy feet but is quick enough to pick up yards on the ground if the opportunity is there... With him behind center with worthy being the threat he is, Bijan would have tons of daylight because he consistently hits receivers in stride with the deep ball. He's quick at finding targets and getting rid of the ball. Even after missing half his senior year due to an injury, he was still the number one overall recruit in his class and is considered one of the best all time. It seems the only reason he hit the portal is because after the season the OSU QB had this year, there won't be an open battle for the spot going into spring. So him transferring is understandable because as long as he lives up to his potential, he should easily be a high first rounder, if not the #1 overall when he declares.
  20. We need him. He was one of the few to score a perfect 1000. We know how the last one we had worked out.
  21. His source is Texas Tech insider.... USC is a bigger threat... But I believe he is Sark's to lose at this time.
  22. And yet, Tech was never on his list
  23. We almost had Eli instead of Simms. I wonder how that would have gone...
  24. Called this a week and a half ago. Now reel him in, god dammit.
  25. Sweet! Thanks for sharing
