  1. There's a difference between giving them confidence and giving them experience in bad situations. In HS when I was a senior, the coach put our 2nd and 3rd best runners, both Sophomores, in the JV division at the district meet in cross-county to help their confidence. He ran the worst sophomore with 4 seniors on varsity. Not surprisingly, we all ran the worst race we had run since early in the season. Not that we had a chance--the top 3 teams in our district were the top 3 teams in the DFW region (and 4th may have been the 4th best, but only 3 made region) and one won state. Now the 2 sophomores finished 1st and 3rd in JV and the team was 4th in region the next year and 2 years later the team won everything until the state meet. That worked for them. But what Sark is doing is what the coach did to that sophomore he put on varsity (who quit and became a trainer for the team). I didn't realize he even finished, he was so far behind everyone else. Its just a bad situation where it hurts their confidence.
  2. I think we're better with Ewers when he's on. But continuing to play him on his bad days is just a mistake. For the team and probably for him.
  3. Ewers sucked 2 of the last 3 weeks. Its on Sark to replace him when he had a bad night. But he DID have an awful night.
  4. So, the SEC steamrolled Washington, Michigan and Notre Dame. Your point is? That we aren't Alabama, Georgia or LSU?
  5. 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6, 8-4. He sucked at Washington. How do you think he got the name 7 win Sark?
  6. After that night, Ewers probably doesn't deserve the right to wear a mullet. Shave the head!
  7. I think you missed his point. If Plonsky liked it, it had to be a bad hire.
  8. Sark is now 4-9 in one score games. When you have better talent, you should win most of those games.
  9. We underperformed for decades on women's sports until they got Plonsky out of picking coaches.
  10. Mack is #7 on the all time win list. And a bunch of that was done at a basketball school. The 6 ahead of him are legends-Paterno, Bowden, Bryant, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Pop Warner and Saban. He may not have been as good as Bob Stoops or Bobby Bowden or Dabo Swinney, but he's a pretty good coach. He just got complacent here. Those who can't figure that out are idiots, but then that is the Shaggy motto and a Texas tradition. They tried to fire DKR after 3 6-4 seasons in a row. Texas replaced Akers with the totally incompetent McWilliams. And for that matter, DKR was more or less forced to retire at 55.
  11. We played two of the top 10 teams, one with the best or 2nd best talent in the country, toe to toe. Talent could be better, but its plenty good to win. If you have a coach who knows how to use it. Sark hasn't demonstrated that.
  12. Alabama, Michigan and Notre Dame have all had extended slump this century. OU had one in the 90s. It happens.
  13. Well he's better than Strong. Even though he recruits better, he hasn't proven he's better than Hermann. He still looks like 7 win Sark.
  14. If you play for next year, you may establish a losing attitude. That is potentially disastrous long term. Especially on a program that is already used to losing with Charley Strong.
  15. If you are talking about the 2nd one, nobody touched the punter. They completely missed him and he had room to land. He just faked a flop.
  16. He needs to get up some speed to break tackles. He's not a power runner like RoJo. When he gets hit behind the line of scrimmage, he usually goes down. Once he gets past, he's more difficult to bring down.
  17. https://www.espn.com/college-football/stats/player/_/table/passing/sort/QBRating/dir/desc Before tonight Ewers was 56 of 120 rated QBs. Casey Thompson was #44.
  18. IF we had a decent QB and a decent coach tonight. But we didn't.
  19. We do have 3 good receivers. Quinn just refuses to throw to Sanders (or Sark won't have him in the progression).
  20. Worthy is wide open half the time. Not as much tonight, but Worthy would be a candidate for Heisman if he were playing with Bryce Young.
  21. And Ewers was not the answer tonight. Ewers may be better than Card most of the time, but Case McCoy was vastly better than Ewers tonight. Dabo replaced his starter for part of one game and that guy brought them back to win. Went back to the starter the next game. Saban put in his reserve to win an MNC vs. Georgia. Sark is just stubborn--and he ain't the answer.
  22. So does that mean that Sark is dumber than the dumbest poster on Surly?
  23. A, D, and Ewers shit the bed. I don't know why Sark can't understand that sometimes guys have bad days and you need to replace them. Don't know why the Big 12 can't understand that about their refs.
  24. BTW, what was the guy saying about TCU cheerleader. It was ALL of them. Cheerleaders!
  25. Ewers and Worthy were flat out awful. Ewers couldn't even hold onto the ball in critical situations. Just drops it. O line got whipped, but we had the plays if we had a QB half as good as Case McCoy. And when nothing was working we should have put in the QB who wasn't afraid to run.
