  1. Granted Cook got pushed down. I haven’t looked at replay, but it seemed like I saw 3 white jerseys around the ball that was picked by one of them. If true that’s a bad read. Cook not open.
  2. You’re stretching to blame this one on Sark. It’s all on Maalik and our suck ass secondary. Should not have been close.
  3. I’m not mad at Maalik. He’s just not the player in real-time that some of y’all hyped for the last two years. BTW. I’ve not seen him actually run. Isn’t that a supposedly a weapon at QB? It should be at least a threat. It’s Not even a threat if he never does it. So. How slow is he? He does not inspire confidence that he can stretch the defense if our OL misses a block. Which … they do a lot!
  4. Joel Klatt called it correctly in real time. Texas offense was garbage the entire 4th Q. And in OT. If KSU kicks it they could score again and we prob wouldn’t. I guess other “better coaches” than Sark make game losing decisions too!
  5. Wide open receiver and overthrown. Y’all used to bitch out Ewers for that. Or Sark for calling the long ball!
  6. Yeah. Sark. The two stupid ints he threw. Him stupidly missing an easy tackle on the sideline TD for KSU. And then him making Brooks fumble. All leading to 21 pts. Sark should be shot!
  7. Most coaches are big on the “loyalty thing”. AND they don’t want to hurt their fragile lil QBs egos. Mack made a deal with the d3vil to play Chris Simms no matter what. Cost us at least a Big 12 Championship and chance at MNC. Stubborn. Sark being an ex-QB may have promised MM his “shot” if Ewers couldn’t go. Few coaches like to alternate QBs. Reasons for not playing Manning are running out. Hope Ewers is healthy when/if he comes back. ALSO: you guys pathetic with your criticism of Sark when the players are playing badly. Sark makes poor decisions. And lots of really good ones. Mostly bring us back from the Dark Ages. Enjoy the wins. Bitch about defeats. But quit pitching about irrelevancies that mask the real fuckups in the actual games. Players are supposed to play well. I doubt Coach Pete coaches them to leave receivers open. Our secondary sucks. They get paid and get lots of practice. On both sides of the ball. Proper execution would solve a lot of these “close game collapses”. It ain’t ALL poor coaching.
  8. What are the odds Sark saw what was going on w Maalik, and adjusted calls to try to protect the SoCal dancing boy from killing us with more bad play?
  9. I watched Simms in real time. And then reviewed my taped (i know) game replays. He watched his receivers like a Jr high QB. Fragile also. Really nice kid but not a next level QB. Ewers has much more to prove before he’s considered elite. But he’s already better than the Chris Simms that underperformed so badly. I admit I was an Applewhite fan. He was a gamer! Ewers might be too. Time will tell. I should know. I’m Bobby Layne.
  10. Castiglione is a hell of an AD. He’s been there quite a while. Check out their other sports successes since he came. I’ll CDC over him all day every day. But Joe C has been very good for ou methhead, sister …. You know.
  11. Only Coach Royal had a great record against ou. Wasn’t it early Mack that just HAD to start Chris Simms? For a WHOLE season. What were early Mack’s ou scores? I haven’t checked but I watched, and was there couple times and don’t remember him dominating ou. Vince and Colt MADE Mack.
  12. You guys have ALL got me thinking. Dreams/nightmares all night. So I mentally went to film room. Whacked the game in reverse. Who lost it? Well, to begin with, the guys (plural) who left the receiver open in the corner of the end zone. OR the guys who didn’t get to the QB before he threw (just missed him, just) But then the guy who got the penalty that moved them into range for the short pass. But then the guys (plural) who left squirrel Stoops open for a huge gain. Oh, and the guys who couldn’t play properly (no one can) the stupid prevent defense that allows the QB and receivers forever to hook up b/c we’re playing soft to let them march down the field sloooowly and “run out the clock”. Skipping some plays it was the Worthy who didn’t reach the ball across the line a split second sooner (sic). Or the Olinemen who couldn’t push ou off the goal line for ONE YARD! For 4 PLAYS! Keep watching the tape with me fellow arrogant humans. We’ll see missed tackles. Several Foolish kickoff returns starting us inside the 20. Lost fumble our QB. Dropped int in the End Zone. (Note: the high throw/dropped pass/big hit on Sanders, while troublesome, was covered by the ST TD on ensuing ou drive). But it definitely demonstrates we have a SEVERE red zone disease) I won’t belabor the one hundred missed blocks (count them all) of the Oline. That matters a great deal to our running game and QB play. Yes, the Dline was held. A lot. That’s actually not a glitch, that’s a feature of Big 12 reffing (rhymes w…u know). Prob won’t be much different in future. Watch all the mistakes all the way to our starting center going down. Which explains but do3s not excuse poor Oline blocking. Then get all the way to the first quarter. The terrible read/throw by Ewers while A. D. fails to work back to the QB. That play had two missed reads by QE, poor pass blocking and lazy receiver work. Worthy was open quick. I also point to that moment as the WTF are we doing? Because, watching more tape, in pregame the interviews (yes very thorough film study) I heard our fearless leader saying let’s go out and “have fun”. Really? Have fun? Texas ou IS FUN! When we WIN! Like 49-0 FUN! I’m not even going to watch all the surly film/posts. But I guarantee you sobs and chicas didn’t os your part. The negative Zen/karma/reverse positivity and unbridled arrogance of some of us wasn’t helpful at all! So. WE lost the game! None of us scored a touchdown, made a tackle, kicked a potential game winning field goal, neither caught nor threw a pass. Nobody actually drew up nor coached our people to defeat the opposing OC/DC/SC. How many called the fake punt on 4th? Or the punt block? Be honest. (I know…surly). But that’s my point. We all rant a rave during the game. But be real about it. Maybe one or two of us would get ANY NIL money in todays market. We get to play second guessers for all the mistakes made by coaches and players. We’re usually RIGHT too! After the fact. Or calling plays from our couches/tents/sports bars. That’s the joy of surly. Just spare the hate for our players/staff until it’s all played out. The game thread was so over the top ( I know surly) but it feeds other negative boards and supports our opponents more than our own people. Peace out Buddhists. Speared good karma Hindus. More positivity new agers. Embrace the hate as the MOC McConaughey would say. “My people have always suffered this way” my Jewish rabbi would say. Although Psalm 11:6 says God will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur down on them (His enemies). Jesus wants us to pray for them. DKR said “Angry men win football games.” He said that but I watched James Street, Steve Worster, Ted Koy and Jim Bertlesen RUN for 500 years per game with a mixture of party animals and very focused, talented athletes. In summation, aka TL/DR lighten up Francis. College football is reaching parity and in ways we may never have seen. Be encouraged and quit acting like a bunch of bitchy twitchy meth-head, fentanyl sucking …. Oh nvm . It’s a team loss. Take it bitches. Let’s win out! “He ain’t the guy” is so lame. No. WE ain’t the guy, arrogant assholes!
  13. Ewers partly redeemed himself. Played great to get us BACK in the game. But the momentum swings he donated were large and significant. Both things can be true. He didn’t cost us the game. It was truly a team effort.
  14. He danced twice on the goal line plays. Looking for a phantom hole. Need to be like Priest Holmes. Just blow forward and follow the big guys. That’s not his style. Savion Red might have been the better choice for those plays, but spread out and beat ‘em to the corner on at least one or two attempts.
  15. For 60 minutes I put it on the players. They dint make plays. ou sux did. Sick of this shit too.
  16. Not by rushing 3 and soft prevent. That’s losing defensive football!
  17. Not with todays Oline. Uhh, Colt McCoy? KState?
  18. Ref screened the interceptor. Damn Ewers not looking around very well.
  19. ‘69 Natl Champs and their 30 game winning streak would have a word with you.
  20. Oh shit. Mea culpa! Plus the Galindo burn. I’ll show myself out.
  21. And 2023 is not “as good” as 2005 Texas? The second best Texas team ever!
  22. Anyone remember the 05 game against Kansas? I don’t know if this team will be better than good or great.. but quality teams do this annually. Winning ALL of them IS hard. Tom Herman didn’t say it right.
  23. I started doing this in 2021. Sark arrival made me think differently. They gonna hate. So take it away from them. If you make another school/team your focus, you’re just giving them props they shouldn’t have. Ergo, only do ou sux that week! They shouldn’t be so elevated in our thinking. Nor should the aggies. Whoever we’re playing each week s/b our nemesis and focus. We are Texas! Hook ‘em!
