  1. A catch is not even guaranteed that was a bullet
  2. In the NFL it is QB, QB, QB, QB, LT But in college it is QB, C, MLB aka all the brain positions that can tell other players where to line up.
  3. Stupid SOS calculations, at the level relevant to the playoffs top end SOS is the only thing that matters, they are 1-0 vs other playoff teams, but the rest has been just beating bad teams. Texas lost to one of those bad teams though.
  4. There was that famous photo of him decompressing after the UK shit show, if he was an alcoholic he is not standing in the corner but headed towards his stash.
  5. Texas with wins over GA, A&M, Vandy and OK was in, even with the two losses, Texas was in over any team with two losses, even if the playoffs were top 6 Texas was in over teams with 1 loss like say Oregon. That would have been a salivating schedule vs an Oregon team that skipped tOSU even if they were on the same damn conference. You can't argue the same if we had played Rice, but lost to UF and Georgia sorry I just don't see it. The key part being ignored is the size of the playoff berth, top 16 and UT is in. but Top 12 and we are in the bubble. We WERE given the benefit of the doubt even on teams with fewer losses, we just shat our pants in Athens, that is why we are bubble but on the outside looking in.
  6. I mean they are paid to do this, it is a prestige job, I can't guarantee anything, but I can at least guarantee that they give this the most thought over anything that was before, I might not agree with it but AP and coaches polls were afterthoughts by lazy journalists and coaching assistants.
  7. They actually played well during the season, losing to OU with multiple turnovers is >>>> than getting destroyed by Georgia. It is not just UF it was BOTH, Texas was in despite the UF stinker, then layed another egg.
  8. It would be debatable, FSU was undefeated and was left out vs a Bama team that lost an epic OOC game. You guys don't really factor in how shit Texas has played aside from two games. And one was the loss on week 1.
  9. Do you people honestly think that OU win was that great? You are acting as if OU is 11-1 and ranked in the top 3. The idea that the committee would just fall in love with those wins and vault UT past other 2 loss teams is laughable. They are a playoff team but deeply flawed they can beat anyone if they rule the TO battles though. The only way a 3 loss Texas is in for sure is having beaten all of the best teams including tOSU. then explain the losses as fluke injuries. (argument to keep tOSU) Replace tOSU with Rice the only way a 2 loss Texas team is in is if had beaten Georgia or UF (and Aggie) A hypothetical Texas that lost to GA UF, and beat Rice is NOT guaranteed. We would have had the same embarrassing losses and shit wins. The logic is PAINFULLY obvious it is ridiculous, tOSU did not matter, hell the close loss helped UT barely. It was the regular season that doomed UT.
  10. I just don't see the great tragedy if Texas misses the playoff, just reads like homer takes, I might actually be more pliant had we beaten Georgia and lost a close game to Aggie, but as it stands the team has a massive glaring flaw that it plays horrific on the road. And the first game will be on the road, meaning all of those teams can beat the longhorns.
  11. I mean unless you guys also want the committee to give UT a top 8 spot the first game played will be on the road.
  12. The team got pantsed by Florida, this wasn't a Bama vs OU where they turned the ball over to hell and back, that was a complete lack of preparedness that is completely inexcusable, we were given the mulligan vs tOSU, to be asked that we need two/three mulligans is ridiculous. ND is sadly being rewarded for scheduling Aggie, the problem is their rest of the schedule is so bad they needed to have scheduled 3 top flight teams to equal one tOSU, and they did not. The real difference is both losses to UF and GA but also how bad they were the team played like crap on the road. Playing in the shoe late in the season the defeat is probably similar. Words can not describe how night and day this team is in road vs home.
  13. Honestly the best scenario is for the Aggies to be pantsed twice, first by UT then Georgia, their schedule is terrible. Two crushing losses in a row can keep them out. That probably means Bama and Ole Miss lose so they make the championship.
  14. Texas was only behind the stupid domers in the 2 loss column before the Georgia game, had we finished undefeated we would have ended above all 2 loss teams hell even some 1 loss teams, the idea that it was tOSU that hurt our chances is ridiculous. Hell even in the field of 4 when Bama lost to Texas they still made the playoffs. I get the argument that you throw the kitchen sink at the committee if we beat the gomers, but it is beyond idiocy to keep talking about an event that again and again the committee keeps ignoring. That said I loathe this thread you can't tell me the players did not learn of this factoid and did not give Georgia game the proper respect.
  15. Groan what is this stupid shit? it was the loss to Florida and the pantsing by Georgia that is hurting Texas, the loss to tOSU by 7 is the best loss in the entire field, we were legit getting props for that loss as pathetic as it sounds. This season was a failure, limping into the playoffs is still ultra low odds because UT plays like dogshit in a true road environment (10 ppg)
  16. I don't remember the idiot that called me out for me saying he was wrong in saying Arch had quit, its almost like people are too dumb to realize that they don't know shit and have an inferior predictive track record, cest la vie.
  17. Lol we are not talking about Herbstreit we are talking about ABC restricting free access to games.
  18. They need to bring over their players though, so that excludes non active HCs. And that excludes Saban ironically.
  19. linux

    Niblett!

    Reminder that this board in all its wisdom wanted to bench him for not fielding punts
  20. This is ultimately something Sark does not understand, momentum is more than just TOs its about making the opposing team quit so you can guarantee victory, he treats games like they were practice, getting reps for the offense when they should be resting, he is always complaining about long seasons and injuries, that is #1 reason right there. One of the reasons we had 3rd quarter black holes is because every opposing team always thought they could beat Texas, no team really gets demotivated (except the Sooners lol), hence sweating it out. Its the little things that Sark does not understand and he is treating the game like it is a chess match when in reality it is emotional and raw.
  21. Also Christian Jones never played OL until his senior year in highschool. There really seems to be very minimal development at UT, last year or two it was both a combination of ready made player (Banks), somebody that could have learned from anybody because his starting point was 0 (Jones) and extreme experience (Majors and Conner). There is almost no linear progression or development, so you better get all the ready made because you can't give backups game experience in the low scoring sark offenses, and you sure as hell can't rotate them with the first team.
  22. Oh they saw issues, see the picture of Sark unwinding in the corner. Press conference speak seems irrelevant to me. The question is what is his solution, he seems to think complexity is still the answer when it clearly is not.
  23. Even if this did happen the assholes would still be happy though, I still remember the Missouri 2004 meltdown like was yesterday, the overreaction was pathetic. There are fundamentals that must be addressed, it seems it is all mental and it CAN be addressed this season, but back then that was a throw the baby out with the bathwater trash fire.
  24. It has come to my realization that unless the head coach has a minor in OL he is unhirable, that we have OL so poorly taught to go after the wrong player even after 4+ years in the system is obscene. And the entire offense collapses on bad line play.
  25. It was still pretty average, it was their defense that won it, not their offense.
