I get the lack of confidence in Sark based off of last year and we have to see it on the field this fall, but dude either self assessed or actually listened to all you fucks.
Some perspective. Brought in Ewers, changed up strength and conditioning, asked that the CB’s play tight coverage, DL’s play up field, developed a tight end, shut down any QB controversy, isn’t a douche. Oh and somehow recruited a Manning to Texas over bama/georgia. We might win 8.

Fuck all this Card talk. Sark needs to name Ewers QB1, push his chips into the middle of the fucking table and go for it.
No QB "controversy" just get the fuck to work. Quit wasting reps with the ones on Card. Just stupid.
Okay Mr. Bianco, why did you wait this long to tell Sark your announcement strategy?

If they’re going to be a big dog, they will bite you hard as a pup. Hudson Card couldn’t chew through Kibbles’N Bits last year. I can’t even fucking believe there is still dialogue around this.
Some guys are on fire by the spotlight and some guys are blinded by it. That shit cannot be coached.
It’s so f’ing simple, what are we doing here wasting time discussing this. The team knows it, we know it, Sark knows it. Let’s go all in and have a fucking great fall.

So, explain something to me with all y’all predicting classes of 25 plus- why would you sign this many guys nowadays.
it seems like the bottom half of most every class sucks shot through a straw and most of the stretch takes don’t amount to jack shit. Why are we taking 25+ instead of 15 every year and then signing 6 or 8 or 10 from the portal. That’s seems to be what they are doing at WR but it makes se sense to me to do the same at RB, secondary, QB, hell, anywhere but OL and DL.
Is the idea, essentially that we plan on running off 15-20 guys every off season? I mean, that seams a little ambitious but necessary if you are going to be taking 35 every class and I’d damn sure rather take 10 guys from the portal who you have a pretty good idea who they will become than the bottom 10 in any class.
walk me through it someone smarter than me if you would. Thanks. Enjoy stuff like this.15 or so makes the most sense and then focus in on a large group of freshman/sophomores to burn up their 1 time portal to you, then fill gaps with 1 year portals as needed.

What it comes down to is a we have a losing culture. You can blame it on all sorts of different things, but the reality is we don’t find ways to win.
The best question to ask is how did we get so good under Mack Brown? If you can answer that, you can see the path forward to fixing this deal. There is a shocking amount of naivety in our fan base regarding the answer to that question.
Only answer I could think of, talent at the QB position.

Him and Terrence Brooks are elite talents. I think Finkley will be a very productive college player but not sure he has NFL size/measurables. Then you have some athletic freaks in Thompson, Tapp, Bledsoe. I also think BJ Allen will be a great program player and hopefully will lock down a safety spot. Let’s see, this class has serious talent. We need to stack it with another elite class and we should be ready to compete for the CFP if this coaching staff is half as good as people thought initially.
Agreed, but careful to keep such optimism here and away from the rest of the board.

Don't have the full article, but apparently Anwar posted something about Arch last night in the OB War Room saying he wouldn't be surprised if Arch took his decision all the way to signing day and also mentioned USC and ND being involved. 🤣
That’s the most positive Arch news I’ve heard, considering the source he probably commits to us next week.

NLI and bags aside, the big issue for ‘23 is the lack of team identify. Ewers, X and Bijan are all names that resonate with the ‘23s, so it’s imperative an identity around them is manufactured until we see the product on the field this fall. While it’s early with winter conditioning, we should be seeing content from at least their individual social media accounts (combined 250k+ followers) showing the work.

I think some of the candidate are:
- Horns With Heart announcement
- post-Iowa State Bo Davis video
- Xavier Worthy live streaming an image of the Texas-TT score on his phone
- Cristobal visits Miami to be with family
- Bedenbaugh decides to stay in Norman
- Xavier Worthy changes twitter profile photo to Quinn Ewers
- This thread reaching 900 (admittedly very close in time to some of the other non-Surly events)

I have been on the boards since 1997 when I was a student at Texas. We've spent decades as fans and board patrons feeling powerless to create any real change. The Internet, social media, and time building knowledge and money have brought us to the point where we can actually do something about this sport we love.
My expectation is that this does indeed help this staff, the players, future players, and the program. If we could start winning at an elite level again, that would justify the effort we have put in since early July when it became immediately evident that the Athletic Department wasn't going to be a help.
If Texas, its layers of fanbase from the BMDs to the middles to the everyday fans, the city of Austin, and the state of Texas are truly able to harness the competitive advantages within NIL's framework, UT can have an engine built that very few other programs can rival and will put these silly ass, dark market bagman games to absolute shame.
@immamac @RGBIII @SydneyCarton @GlenFromTheMailRoom @SquishMitten and several folks not on this board, including Bobby Burton, played huge roles in getting this going. @texifornia @Burt Macklin @Dbeasy @henrygandorf and a number of other folks (shout yourself out for positive rep if you're not named) helped get this from idea to a germinating sapling as well.
Here's to bigger and better.
You MFer’s did it, you fucking did it! Quote from Banks: “It feels good because I always say, ‘God do things for a reason,’ and I believe what happened with Oregon was for a reason, and it led me to Texas, which would help me take care of my family more as well.”

Nope, not seeing any Austin--Athens. But there's a jet going about to go Athens --> Fort Worth that's owned by Houston restauranteur Edd Hendee (Taste of Texas, etc.). Looks like his family has ties to UT, but he appears to be a Cougar High grad - so doubt there's anything there but figured I'd note.

Jacking off to my Sark performance fantasy
in Football
Posted
This is the Sark fork in the road. Most people didn’t like the hire, 5-7 validated that belief.
Perhaps it’s irrational, especially with the historical context provided by @closetojumping, but I see the off-season moves optimistically and hopeful for the future. More so, I want that ‘20 Bama offense for us and thus want Sark to win and to do so quickly. I’d be good with 8 wins, a cohesive D and big flashes on offense.
Last point, which you covered, Sark seems to run a program structured more like a pro team. As we go full NIL, we’ll need someone that can manage our athletes effectively in a “pro” environment.
