  1. Helobious is human version of the 2025 Texas Longhorn Offense.
  2. Hahahaha. @Lerka Lerka here is an example of someone putting in way too much effort. This dude's original post was one sentence long. He apparently went back and looked through posts of mine in order to find subjects he could attempt to poke holes. He edited his post 30+ minutes later. And BO&W, the "we all remember" notion is comical coming from you, given that your use of the royal "we" on this board implies that you're working within some sort of peer set. I thought one of the central tenets of being an incel was always approaching circumstances as an outsider and living without alliances?
  3. What I wrote took virtually no effort. I'm usually posting to avoid actual effort in some form. "nattering nabobs of negativity" is a famous line from Spiro Agnew from when, I believe, he was being pressured to resign from the vice presidency during the Nixon regime. Again, I'm guessing that took no real effort. If you want effort, we should have a real alliteration or metaphor contest as it relates to this season and our varying levels of despondence.
  4. There are plenty of examples of guys who were valued for their work as OCs or DCs who eventually gave up the playcalling role as an HC. Saban, Drinkwitz and Mack Brown are easy examples to recall either due to proximity or recency. There are many examples of guys who refused to drop being a playcaller and it cost them their jobs. Will Muschamp and Billy Napier are easy examples for this board. Now, name the guys who called plays and won national titles, real quick. Spurrier is one. Who else? Sir Edward Beauregard Orgeron, Esq., certainly didn't. Meyer? Nope. Smart? Nope. Swinney? Nope. Carroll? Stoops? Nope. I guess Jimbo Fisher, somewhat hilariously, is another. Point is, you can find one about every dozen years or so who did it. The rest of the guys dating back to the early 90's were all very involved with their sides of the ball, but they recognized what needed to happen in order for them to truly win. There is a boneyard full of HC tenures in which the guy couldn't let go of his shiny object and cost himself, his program, his players, and the program's fans a shot at greatness. It's just selfishness. We've already pointed out that the results for Sarkisian are visibly short of elite and the trend is decidedly negative, and the sample size is not small. His case for continuing down this path is paper thin.
  5. We've all noted your fatalistic certitude, as you've been spraying this board and the recruiting forum with it, one shitty post after another. Do the rest of us a favor and work on some new material or shut the fuck up. You're trending towards being a spammer with your whiny bemoaning and it's adding zero value to each thread.
  6. Sarkisian as a CEO has been close to elite. That cannot be said for his performance, ever, as an OC while also the HC. Sorry. You cannot find data and cite it to support a counter to the notion that the OC role is not a strength for Sarkisian while also head coaching. As to the rest, a lot of you guys are chiming in about how this will be handled before the season outcome is even known. If Texas somehow goes 9-3, no one here has a fucking clue what will or won’t be done in public or private. 5-7 to 7-5, sure. Above that, we have no idea. I want Sarkisian to work out and win titles at Texas and I think he can, which isn’t how I saw the hire on 1/2/21. That said, I feel like him failing ahead of 2028 is a reasonable hedge to my outlook, based on what I’ve seen this year. If you’re taking bets from anyone, I’ll take the counter to your position for $500.
  7. ST was in reference to Special Teams, not Becton. Also, whoever told you that CDC played a role in hiring Becton seems super informed. I keep hearing this shit about Flood and Sarkisian “beefing” from you guys that like to sniff some the farts of some of the more idiotic $9.95ers in Texas’ orbit. I’ve asked about it to several folks and it sounds like this is bullshit or story-inflation. Beyond that, I just fucking typed out that Flood isn’t calling the shots with approach to how the line needs to be blocking. Sarkisian has always run a soft offense, long before Flood was involved.
  8. This is a different Tim Beck. Shitty Tim Beck is the HC at Coastal Carolina.
  9. Regarding the assistant coaching discussion, here are some thoughts from my end: -Flood's not guy driving the bus regarding the approach to OL blocking, according to those familiar with the practices. He didn't forget how to coach overnight, either. So firing him is probably something Sarkisian does in order to save face after the season. -Sarkisian is a poor OC as a HC. The numbers bear out that he's generally done a mediocre to shitty job and that isn't going to change with a new OLC. One of the biggest issues with Sarkisian's offensive approach is that it is finesse-oriented. That's just not going to fly in the SEC against the athletes they're facing on everyone's front 7s. With the most talented OL Texas has had in decades last year, they often struggled to run the ball against good defenses. Point is, for the OL to really improve, Sarkisian's approach needs to change as much as anything. Seems unlikely. -Milwee needs to go. Sarkisian needs to hire an independent QB coach with actual skins on the wall. No QB has gotten better at Texas during the Sarkisian era. Not one. 2 of the highest rated QBs of all time have gotten to campus and not improved. One got drafted as an afterthought in the 7th round. The other has become a laughingstock and an accidental meme generator and he's embarrassing himself on a weekly basis. That's all on Sarkisian in some form, but he's not going to fire himself. He needs to fire his buddy and hire someone who can call him on his bullshit and coach the QB room. -What are we seeing and learning from Chris Jackson? Do we see WRs getting better? It's somewhat hard to discern with the OL being historically terrible while the QB is constantly either running for his life, shitting himself or doing both. -Too early on Huff. -I don't see anything happening with Banks and the TEs actually seem like they're improving with reps.
  10. You are pig wrestling, which is fruitless, unless you're the pig. All you get is muddy, as there is no winning. Meanwhile, the pig enjoys it.
  11. Lewis in Charleston is fucking great. Can compete with anywhere in Texas.
  12. Hahahaha. It is to laugh. … This is year 5. Steve Sarkisian has been given everything. EVERYTHING he has ever asked for or needed with this program. Many people have spent real money to support this fucking dipshit. He’s coaching a soft offense with a shit run game. Maybe you’re too dumb to grasp all of this, but the only pussies involved with this program are those coaching the offense, the finesse bitches on the OL and the QB who shrieks every time he hears footsteps.
  13. My dad was raised a Texas fan and then was recruited by DKR. Tore his knee up his senior year as a CB and had offers pulled from everywhere. Ended up choosing Rice over Tulane. He raised his boys to be Texas fans and has been as big a diehard as any person I’ve ever known who actually went to Texas, me included. The t-shirt whines have simply never passed muster for me.
  14. Oh man. The Spider2Y clown is negging Sydney Thomas? That is the most on brand shit ever. It’s fucking perfect. Hahahhahahaha. What an ultra-maroon.
  15. Also, no carnies. Small hands and smell like cabbage and such.
