  1. Obviously the Ohio State game will be extremely challenging, particularly as the opener for the season. Would love to have a warm-up game. But one real advantage that could come to fruition is Sark having an offensive gameplan that the Buckeyes won't be prepared for at all. Different formations and routes and designs with Arch that didn't show up in this past Cotton Bowl. If we execute, I can see us putting up some points. Having an entire offseason to prepare for that one game - and knowing the next 3 games are at home vs. pretty shitty competition - allows Sark to throw everything at the Ohio State defense. Can't wait.
  2. Can't wait to see weather massively affect another round of NFL playoff games!
  3. I kinda figured this, and was dumbfounded by all the talking heads saying he wants to be in the NFL again. He got chewed up and spit out after 2 years in Atlanta, then went straight back to working for Saban. Using logic, it would be a terrible move for Sark to go to the NFL. Glad we got this worked out and over with quickly.
  4. Simms on Arch
  5. Gunnar Helm's dad posted this on the OTF thread: Amari is a great young man who always had a positive attitude and is a great teammate. We wish him the best of luck. The TE room is in good hands, and very talented. Sometimes the answer is not in the portal or incoming freshmen. Coach Banks is developing everyone in the room to be ready to contribute.
  6. Feels like most of the reports said Niblack was a good teammate and hard worker. Good luck to him.
  7. No doubt QB sneak is back on the table. As mentioned, we ran it with ease for Arch vs. Colorado St, but had some issues with it later on. Sark was chewing Arch out when it took multiple attempts vs. Miss St. Feel pretty comfortable we will get that sorted out this offseason.
  8. After Arch, Simmons is the most important player/recruit on this team. His ceiling is being the best defensive player in the country and a top 3 pick in 2 years. Pay him whatever is necessary.
  9. I was a junior in HS in 1993 and was a sportswriter for the school paper. I did this big NFL season preview piece before the season started. Predicted the Oilers going 12-4 and beating the Chiefs in the AFC championship game. Got a lot of grief from my friends when Houston started 1-4. Then as said above, we won 11 straight to hit 12-4. I was so confident in that team. Damn, damn, damn. Still too soon.
  10. A good buddy of mine from HS was the deep snapper at A&M for 4 years. He said he, P, and K all would dip Copenhagen and fart around most of the time at practice. And they were all good at their positions. Maybe things have changed in last 30 years, but seemed to be pretty low stress.
  11. Arch's short interview before the Peach Bowl: A couple of things to note - - He immediately says Wingo and Deandre Moore when asked who he has a good rapport with. Makes sense but still a great sign as our top returning WRs. - When asked about what he learned from his 2 starts, he said that "if I get game-like reps in practice, it will carry over." Let's remember that Arch enrolled at Texas in January 2023. We are right now entering Year 3 with Sark's offense and playbook. This will be his first Spring getting starter reps. He clearly held the ball too long and was adjusting to game speed in real time vs. UTSA and ULM at times. Better vs. Miss St. Win or lose vs. Ohio State, he's gonna learn A TON after Week 1, then has a month of cupcakes (and a bye sprinkled in) to get prepared for SEC play.
  12. The only thing not to love when watching the Rockets is Ryan Hollins. His patented "The Rockets have to be careful here..." line came at the start of the 2nd quarter when we were up 5. Ok, man. Then we proceed to outscore Denver 41-25 in the 2nd q.
  13. RB situation is gonna be pretty interesting next year. Good chance that Wisner, Gibson, Simon, and Stewart are the only projected healthy RBs heading to Columbus for Game 1. I hope for the best with Baxter and Christian Clark, but we're probably lucky to have either 100% ready to go by start of conference play. We'll see, but I expect the offense to look quite different next year with Arch. Fewer condensed formations and misdirections. More downhill blocking and physical running attack. We'll probably see Arch go under center a decent amount too. I like Wisner a lot. But we need another RB to step up and be 1B (if not 1A).
  14. Chills every time I watch this clip, Fucking epic.
  15. Quandre is talking to himself there a bit. He passively criticized Quinn a few times on Twitter during our games.
  16. Great news. Wish Quinn the best in the NFL.
  17. Golden has excellent body control as well.
  18. I swear to fuck. Maybe it is Johntay, but the fact that some dipshit Miami Hurricane fan "reports" this and it gets to Texas message boards as fact makes me ragey. Fuck you, Elon, for ruining Twitter. I mean, let's check out this dude's previous tweet from 26 minutes ago:
  19. AGREED. I can't stand Lanning and it's all because of looking like Herman.
  20. As long as NIL/portal is the Wild West with little to no restrictions, it's gonna happen a lot more.
  21. I know that. There is a shitload of talent on this team, we're gonna be losing future NFL guys every year in the portal.
  22. It still hurts, no doubt. But my heart skipped a beat when Simmons was mentioned earlier today.
  23. Hate to lose guys, but if you told me the only "big" transfers are Muhammad and Derek Williams, I take that in a heartbeat.
  24. I guess we'll see, but it feels like Sark's plan was to focus on the Spring Portal. There was a lot of crazy money and desperation in the first portal opening. We targeted and signed a few guys, but no need to get desperate and money whip other players that visited. We have recruited well. I'm sure he wants to see the progress of our young guys after a couple more months of conditioning/workouts before deciding on some other portal needs and acquisitions.
  25. I think some people are still stuck in a version of college football that doesn't exist anymore. Portal, NIL, and 12 team playoff changed everything. There is no rebuilding when a program is clicking. Just reloading.
