  1. I needed this thread. I’ve been in a deeper funk than Texas for the last two weeks. And as for the above poster’s thought of beating A&M 3 times this year, that would almost be better than a title just because it would talked about for eternity .
  2. I came to catch up on this thread and noticed several new pages. There wasn’t one useful or interesting post today. That’s pathetic.
  3. Watched the full game again this morning. A few observations: It was ironic seeing ex-Texas players make so many big plays against Texas. Arch had some really good, some bad. The OL not giving him time was a bigger issue than Arch in this game. Also, receivers dropped a lot of passes. Key penalties saved their ass. They never quit. That’s pretty cool. The entire game never felt good. That is such a drag. With Sark very likely leaving, it’s a huge bummer to start over, because they will likely take some significant step backwards.

    Niblett!

    make him the center. He’ll be in on every play and the OL will be upgraded.
  5. Just to add to the frustration over Sark, he took two of the best QB prospects in years and under-developed them. Meanwhile, the hefty one and his new OC down the road took Marcel Reed, who was a disaster last year, and just turned him into the Heisman front runner.
  6. So I haven’t been following 2027 recruiting at all. There’s a rumor Sark isn’t doing much and Texas is in real trouble for the 2027 class. There was also a rumor of PK getting out too, although he obviously doesn’t do as much recruiting. Anyone getting a sense things are going sideways?
  7. I’m not making the case and I’m not speculating. I’m just passing along that I know for a fact there is an aspect of the job that he doesn’t like that I guess he believes isn’t an issue at the next level. Is that causing a move? I have no idea. People always bitch about their jobs. update: there’s obviously a lot more going on behind the scenes. I’m not saying anything else. This is just going to have to play out .
  8. I hate to break it to you, but twice in the past, three times?, ….
  9. I’ll take any white lineman with a polish last name.
  10. Nicole nailed this. She and my wife both noticed he didn’t seem right and didn’t want to be here weeks ago.
  11. See my comment above. It’s not Texas specific. College vs nfl responsibilities.
  12. My comment wasn’t based on some random internet gossip. I know for a fact, personally, that there are some responsibilities with the job that present a challenge for both cdc and sark. I have no idea whether these are tiny issues or something bigger. And I’m certainly not saying it’s unique to Texas. My comment was in the vain of dealing with college vs the NFL, not that Texas has more meddling boosters than other schools.
  13. So in the other thread I predicted Sark was gone in 2027 for just not being good enough to get from good teams to great teams. However, this is not the best news. The best news would have been Sark realizing he needed to change his offense, and doing it. Then helping Manning to a Heisman in 2026 and Texas to a title. This news, if true, means he’s sick of the college bullshit and the Texas interfering boosters. Arch will likely transfer, and yet again Texas will have to rebuild trust with coaches, recruits, and players. It sucks because the talent on the team, besides OL was good enough to win it all.
  14. When Freeman was hired I thought he was going to be fantastic. And in some ways I like how Notre Dame plays. But something is missing with his teams. Their offense struggles too.
  15. D B Easy by dbeasy A month ago I was sitting around the house minding my own business, listening to the same old songs I’ve listened to for years, and the few new songs that get spoon fed to me by Spotify, Sirius, and the radio, when I had a thought, what if I made a concerted effort to find lesser known new songs, and what if I invited my age old friends to do it with me, because after all they were stuck in the same old rut as me, so a two week text thread ensued where a growing group of old guys, and a girl, loaded my shared Spotify playlist with three songs each that they really liked, that weren’t huge hits and were introduced in 2024 or more recently, we then all listened to them and voted on our Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal favorites, I gave out several awards for songs and contributions, and we had a great time, and all found many new songs and groups that we love, far beyond the marketing machines of the music industry, so I highly recommend you try it too with your friends.

  16. Thank you Luka, for cementing Nico as the person making the worst trade in sports history.
  17. Didn’t pay attention to the spurs last year. Castle is the real deal.
  18. I will never get over the worst trade in organized sports history.
  19. I’m not giving him props for shit. His name is one letter away from Penis.
  20. The guy changing my tire might be named Tim Beck. What do I do? Slap him?
  21. I have appropriately low expectations, because the talent is limited. However, I think the coaching improvement will be better than many of us are expecting. Or, by definition do I actually have higher expectations because I’ve predicted results better than my expectations? Oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed.
  22. I’d like to hear more about these tire factories. I’m intrigued.
  23. Note that I’m talking about flipping a very small number of people. Some/most of the magas are hopeless. I don’t even try with those morons.
  24. There is one thing I forgot to mention about my strategy of winning over one friend at a time to be aware of Trump’s and the Republican’s shittiness. The whole idea originated from my success in flipping one guy who hung out closely with the other maga/conservative supporters in our group. He had mentioned one thing to me year ago where he was confused about some stupid thing Trump had done. I used that as an opportunity to open a conversation. However, I didn’t bombard him with thoughts, information and data. Instead I just provided a few key comments. And then over time I would maybe send him something here or there that was related to what we discussed. It took about six months, but by the end of he had had completely flipped. He now is trying to flip one of our other guys, his best friend. I’m cautiously optimistic that between him and I we will have this guy flipped by January. And there’s one other interesting side note. I knew nothing about Trump in 2015 when he ran for president. Being an independent, I liked the idea of a “business man” being in the White House. However, surly cloak room folks flipped me by well before Election Day, so that I didn’t vote for him. So surly flipped me in about 6 months too. One sad note from that time, even though I had flipped I remember after the election I still expressed hope that maybe all of his craziness would calm down now that he was president. Silly me. You can flip one person in six months. Do it.
