I hope we actually try to win our bowl game. 10 wins should be the floor for the program.

Robertson plans to transfer.
Strange. He took some time to adjust, but has been serviceable down the stretch. His last couple games in particular have been solid (yes I know Arky sucks). Unless they have someone lined up, seems like they'd want him back.

I see a lot of similarities between Kiffen and Riley.
Similar trajectory to Sark. OC under Carroll, got a big job early on, left for USC and flamed out, and has rebuilt his reputation the last few years. I guess he was the top candidate this cycle, but highest paid coach in the country? Nah.

Ohio State missed the 4 team playoff in 2017 and 2021 because they lost OOC games to Oklahoma and Oregon respectively. Both of those Ohio State teams were better than this Texas team and would have had an actual chance of winning the CFP. After 2021, Day fired his entire defensive staff sans Larry Johnson, then brought in Knowles and the rest of the position coaches that have been the backbone of their elite defenses to this day.
Sark has to politic for his team in the present moment. But if the actual takeaway from this season is to try to finesse the schedule like a TCU-caliber program trying to earn national recognition, then you should just give up any aspiration of competing with Georgia or Ohio State right now.
Compare Texas and OSU's conference schedules. OSU can do whatever they want, but don't act like it's apples to apples.

High profile game, gives the players a real game with real pressure, facing off against some solid offense and defense.
Versus a scrimmage against kids that are not far away from playing at Division II or III or even Jucos.
Really helped us against Florida.

My take after today's results:
We obviously aren't getting in. Should we? Yes. Is it egregious? No.
The committee has told us all season what matters. Wins/losses trumps all. Can't really blame them; it's human nature. Now win the bowl game and schedule accordingly going forward.

The Big12 would kill for 3 guaranteed spots. ACC probably would too
Why would the SEC/Big 10 agree to that? 2 G5? Dafuq?

Maybe, but I'll be surprised if we aren't playing Ohio State in Austin next September.
So would I. It's probably too late. But I'm confident we'll cancel ND, and we should. They should be blackballed until they join a conference.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I just really don't like this argument that the Ohio St game was basically an exhibition that shouldn't count. Unless we win, of course. Then it counts bigger than shit (see Alabama 2023). We scheduled it, we played it, and it's a loss on our schedule.
Fine. Don't play them anymore.

Canceling those games is a dumb idea. Play big games, have fun, get money. Nobody wants to see us play New Mexico State. We weren’t winning anything this year anyway. Too flawed of a team. Is it fair? Who knows? But play the good games. Don’t be a bitch.
Play playoff games, have fun, get money.
Who says we have to play New Mexico State? I'm fine with Cal/ASU/Colorado/Wisconsin/UNC/etc. No reason to schedule OSU with a 9 game SEC schedule, when the Big 12 plays nobody. We'll still have more big games every year than we've ever had.

Wonder if the OSU/UM games can even be cancelled since we already played both on Fox. ABC/ESPN will want their cut. At the very least it would be expensive. ND needs to be canceled on Wednesday. Good riddance to those fuckers, they don't deserve any big games until they join a fucking conference.
-
Miami isn't getting left out with their head-to-head win over ND. And they shouldn't TBH (ND should be left out--they've beaten no one). Both OU and Bama need to lose for Texas to have a chance.

I'm not going to hold my breath for any schedule changes. I look forward to those games.
I don't think Sark looks forward to them (nor should he), and he'll definitely have a say. And I don't think CDC will like being in some meaningless bowl instead of the playoff.

They don't seem to be committed to recruiting it.

Yeah, but the Florida thing is more true.
Both are 100% true. Beat Florida, we're in the playoff. Beat a cupcake instead of playing OSU, we're in the playoff.
The difference is we can choose the latter.

Maybe don't lose to shit ass Florida? That's the nail in the coffin. Not losing to Ohio State.
You know both things can be true right?

That’s the hope. Our team is set up to compete next year but we have to completely remake the OL. Campbell and Hutson are gone. Robertson is mediocre at best. And this may qualify as a hot take, but we could use a tackle to push Baker and Goosby. Those guys looked OK in comparison to the interior, but neither one is exactly Kelvin Banks out there.
The in house options are fucking grim. Stroh is literally the only guy with significant experience and…yuck. Trotting Arch out in his contract year behind a starting IOL of Stroh, Cruz, and Kibble ain’t gonna cut it.
I would like to see 2 starter level IOL plus a tackle for depth/competition.
Also need a big time RB, a DB (or 2), LB, and NT. I think WR is ok between what we have returning and the young guys, but if someone like Cam Coleman jumps in you have to go after him.

I don't know the ins and outs of NIL, but it seems like we're not keeping up with the market value for OL. I assume they plan on shifting more of their focus to the portal. Either that or Flood is just a terrible recruiter.

Because then it's a debate of 3 loss Bama vs 3 loss Texas and they beat the team that throttled us by 24 and we beat the team that barely beat them by 16. It's better for us that OU beat a 2 loss Bama team.
We also just beat the #3 ranked team. And our OOC loss looks a lot better than theirs. I think we jump Bama if they lose to Auburn.

We’re not getting in. It is what it is. Don’t lose to fucking 4-7 Florida or get blown out by Georgia and we’re not in this position.
Has nothing to do with Ohio State. YALL in here saying don’t schedule Ohio States are so fucking pathetic and soft and probably the reason we’re have this soft ass mentality around here
Have a good morning 😬
Ok tough guy. Enjoy the cheez-it bowl.
Also, you're wrong.

if everyone is going to go that route, then I'd rather they shortened the regular season, especially with the playoffs adding a potential 3 more games now. if it's going to be Samford and co, please just shorten the season by 1 game
Doesn't have to be Samford. I'd be good with Cal/ASU/Colorado/Wisconsin/North Carolina/etc.

it's a great argument, but I hope to God we keep playing those games...
With a 9 game conference schedule we'll have 4-5 marquee opponents every year, plus more in the playoffs if we make it. I'd rather play OSU in the playoffs than in August. There's never been more premier matchups than there are now. The NFL exists if you want parity every single week.

Pretty sure they were saying the same thing about this year's class.. and last year's. There are elite OL every year in TX. Flood is either a terrible recruiter or we aren't keeping up with the market.
