  1. So the Texas vs. OSU 16.6M was the highest regular season number. The TV network execs are really going to hate losing that windfall of money starting next year. I guess we will see tonight if the networks have talked with the CFP committee. That's our only hope. My longshot call is they drop ND to 12 and put us at 10.
  2. I believe Sark only targets transfers from P4, right? Probably not worth posting portal news about non P4 players.
  3. Opposing offenses figured out how exploit Jaylon Guilbeau, and our back up freshmen had a learning curve. Michael Taaffe was out some of those games. Jelani McDonald was out most of the Vandy game. Refs helped Vandy along. Georgia got hot in the 4th quarter. We put backups in against Ark in the 4th. I'm less concerned about our defense. A better offense that can sustain drives can help the defense.
  4. Cry more? Are you 12? I know there are idiots on this board, but I didn't know I was responding to someone who needs their parents permission to use the internet.
  5. Who cares if we look like birches? I don't care
  6. We are 100% being punished for ohio state. Is bama being punished for getting blown out for FSU? The same FSU that just got blown apart by Florida? This narrative of its the Florida loss is getting exhausting. And the narrative too of "well Texas barely beat Miss St and Kentucky". Bama just barely beat a terrible Auburn team. Oklahoma just barely beat a terrible LSU team. We have 3 losses. That's what we are getting punished for. If we played Minnesota or some other junk team, we would not be getting punished for the Florida loss. No way, not at all. Get this Florida punishment narrative out of here. It's 100% because we played a top 5 non conference game and that cut into our margin of error. There's no other reason.
  7. We should immediately cancel all P4 out of conference games. There is no upside at all. I don't care if we get shade from talking heads or Facebook power posters. I want to be in the playoffs, and P4 out of conference games put that at risk. Cancel them all tomorrow. I don't care for the "it's great for the sport." I care about what's great for Texas and screw everyone else. Putting the playoff at risk for something that provides no upside is stupid. Kill all P4 non conference games immediately.
  8. - The passing defense will be better with Taafe back. - Sark finally decided to call the offense differently the past 5 quarters and it is working. - The OL looked better with the better play calling and Hutson at LG and Robertson at C. - Arch is showing more accuracy and confidence. Those are the reasons I am thinking we will win this game.
  9. I don't think costs have changed. Rev shared has allowed more schools to offer amounts closer to what Texas been able to provide. So there is more competition across the board than we have seen in the past. That also brings in more schools that will pay unreasonable amount for some players that Texas won't match. This might be a short term problem for Texas, but it should even out as those teams feel a budget crunch in a year or two.
  10. 99% of this board has that guy on ignore for a reason. Him posting here is the equivalent of Creed Bratton posting on Creed Thoughts - no one is reading it. He is writing stuff that no one will actually read because he is on ignore by nearly everyone. He is waisting his time and server space because no one cares.
  11. You chased down one of my older posts from the other week in a different thread just to neg me back. Then you made a separate post to disparage me. All because your feelings were hurt. I can tell it will be a waste of my time explaining what's dumb about your post.
  12. Don't be soft when you get negged for making a dumb comment. Stick to Facebook commenting if you can't handle it. That might be a safer place for you
  13. I don't think I've seen Arch pull the trigger to make a throw all season as quickly as Caldwell did on that pass.
  14. Have the same fans that want Nagy to pick a HC looked at Nagy's recruiting class this year? There isn't anything there to brag about - it's worse than the typical coach transition class. Why trust the same guy to get a good HC? This class stacked on to the past couple of classes and it is easy to see that there are many dark years ahead for OU. I don't think the portal can solve the woes of recruiting this poorly.
  15. Sounds like Malakai Lee and Dre Quinn
  16. Any new weather updates for the game tomorrow from the part-time meteorology experts on this board? I just can't be bothered to open the weather app on my phone to figure it out. I'd rather blindly trust one of the idiot savants here
  17. If I am remembering last season correctly, the people that Sark put in questionable on Wednesday always seemed to be playing on Saturday
  18. "Hell, you can’t do any worse. Get in there" is what Sark will / should say to Matt Caldwell around the 2nd Quarter against Florida. Then he needs to call Deion to get his advice on how early is too early to retire a player's number because Caldwell's ~60% completion rate and somewhat timely throws will look like the great thing a Texas QB has ever done.
  19. A silver lining here is that I don't think our QB needs to be a savior for Texas to be successful this year. We just need one that can be a threat to and actually complete passes. It doesnt need to be record setting numbers. Just decently good. That would have beat Ohio State. I think Caldwell can be good enough if we have to go that route. Hopefully Arch figures out this week how to be decently good and we can put this madness behind us.
  20. I know Arch is in more of a developmental phase than most of us expected, but that Michigan offense was awful. All they did was hand the ball off to run it up the middle. Michigan chose to be one dimensional during that game, and it made things easy for the OU defense. So I think it's hard to extrapolate anything from the Michigan-OU game to what can be expected for when we play them.
  21. Anyone here trying to pin this on Sark's play calling is a moron. What's he supposed to do with a QB that can't make routine passes? Arch was awful. That was the reason we lost. Arch sucked. That is the fundamental reason we lost. Nothing else.
  22. Sounds like all of this is going to force the next wave of conference realignment / consolidation to happen much sooner now. No AD in Big 12 or ACC will want their school to be getting squeezed on limited OOC picks with Big 10 / SEC or having their school playing in a weak conference that limits them mathematically to get to the playoffs based on this new model.
  23. CTJ bumping that thread on OTF if Goosby is out past Wednesday:
  24. I just love the Aggie media hype this season trying to sell people on "Lot's of returning starters = they are going to be better this season." Those returning starters went 8-5 last year. Are they magically going to unlock new talent that they haven't shown to this point? Nope. "But, but, Marcel Reed will start every game now!" This is the same guy that led a team to a 1-4 finish (including a bowl loss to USC) last season, lost his favorite WR target from last season, and is throwing ducks against air in fall camp. For the starters they did lose, especially the ones to the NFL draft, are they replacing with similar or better talent? Nope. If there is a change in talent level that I am missing, I need someone to point it out to me. Without that, I can't see how things will be significantly different than last year.
