  1. Also trying to money whip Miami’s best offensive player might just be a tad bit expensive.
  2. This is the laziest argument and the easiest to counter. If Texas schedules Abilene Christian in week one instead of Ohio St, we are in the playoffs. It’s that simple. People are sorting the Win/Loss column and ranking teams accordingly. 9-3 is why we are not in the playoffs and who we lost to does not matter.
  3. The alternative is we all turn into Indiana and schedule three god awful automatic wins and no one watches football until October. Schools will do what the incentives say to do. And this playoff committee is about to lay out the incentives for scheduling in the future. Reward the schools like Texas or the BYU’s and Ole Miss’s of the world for scheduling and playing no one.
  4. Relevant because San Jose St’s offensive line was better than ours when we played them. And it still did not meet the Spartan’s standards. Imagine if Flood is allowed to keep his job.
  5. Dallas Wilson has had two significant foot injuries in the last 6 months. For what he would cost the injury risk is too much, IMO.
  6. Call it a Monday after a long weekend of traveling moment. I meant to reply to someone else but copied you. I think it taking 48 hours and selling shower curtain rings to get back to Chicago has broken my brain.
  7. How much better is Coleman at 4M than a Matthew Golden type who was a fraction of the cost?
  8. Same issue with Ryan Williams. The price does not match the output.
  9. In college football most are still programmed to simply sort on wins and losses. In no other sport are teams even referred to as “1 loss and 3 loss” teams. Part of that is the limited number of games and part of that is just habit. That is not going to change and Texas will not be in the playoffs. The nuance required to evaluate Texas and our schedule is simply not there. It’s on us if we choose to take that fact and do something else.
  10. After nearly two decades of watching SEC schools pay players while we refused to play the game I do not want to see Texas play a different game than our peers only to bitch about not making the playoffs. I was in Columbus this year and as fun as that was I would much rather be going to a playoff game. The Cheese It Bowl just does not do it for me.
  11. Cook performed very poorly at TCU when given the chance. He’s found a good spot in a run first offense at the lower level but I think we can do better.
  12. Watching Bobby defend Akina knowing Akina is his best source of team info is hilarious. “He’s not the problem because it will hurt my site if he isn’t coaching next year!” Akina was a bad hire. We knew it at the time and we know it watching his pass defense play like absolute dog shit given that he has no idea how to coach zone defense. He was run out of Arizona last year for having one of the worst pass defenses in college football and we decided to hire him for only God knows what reason. Flood should get fired but I’m curious to see if Sark actually has the self awareness and courage to fire someone from his inner circle. One or two coaches always get poached away because that is how it goes every year. Going to be an interesting offseason.
  13. Caleb Hawkins of North Texas needs to be our first call at RB. The guy is 6’2/200 and a fucking monster. I have no idea how the recruiting services missed that guy.
  14. I also am not sure what bringing in a tackle accomplishes. Baker and Goosby got a lot better as the year went on. They are going to be solid next year. C/G is where we have to allocate NIL money to. It’s also very likely Flood gets fired here very soon, too. We cannot just go into 2026 without a running game.
  15. The reality is we do not have a schedule consistent with a team trying to build a resume for the playoffs. Unlike basketball, you are penalized far more for a loss than rewarded for a win. It’s our own fault from this point forward if we do not schedule accordingly. Texas should cancel the Ohio State game and we should have one FCS scrimmage on our schedule every year. If we hold our noses up and say “We’re Texas we are not doing that!” then we should not bitch about missing the playoffs. There is no sense and playing a different game than our competition is so we can chase money.
  16. Texas does not need to have a schedule harder than our peers if we are not rewarded for it. We need to play the same game everyone else is.
  17. I want us to cancel the game immediately if are not in the playoffs. If the game is manage the win loss column, we need to play the game. Fuck what anyone thinks.
  18. Anyone with a fucking brain knows what would happen if we played BYU right now. If the point is to get the best teams in the playoffs we should be in. If we do not get in we absolutely should pay whatever the penalty is and cancel the Ohio St game next year and schedule an FBS school. Fuck the TV executives if the only goal is wins and losses.
  19. That was probably the most rewarding live sporting events I have been to since the Rose Bowl. The atmosphere before the game was a 10 and the crowd was insane. I am totally wrecked this morning and fuck anyone in the face who thinks this is not a playoff team.
  20. The situation you described is literally what happened at Ohio St last year and they won the national championship.
  21. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most powerful human conditions. I just do not know how you convinced yourself that Sark, a former addict/alcoholic is incapable of falling off the wagon.
  22. Something is wrong with Williams. That knee injury has robbed him of his elite athleticism. He’s the safety version of Baxter to me until proven otherwise. We need multiple veterans brought in to the secondary next year.
  23. Outside of Wisner and Simon I think you can change over the entire room honestly. Cooper comes in as a true freshman and two transfers to compliment those three is how I would go. Do you have eye balls and have you watched any football this year?
  24. That’s meant to be we do not know who is going to win or lose ahead of us in the rankings. Prepare for A&M like the playoffs are on the line because they just might be.
  25. Baxter is a flop. His injuries have taken away all of his athleticism and I do not want to see him in a Texas uniform taking any NIL next year. Caleb Dawkins from North Texas needs to be a priority as soon as the portal opens.
