  1. Best 3-3 team in the country.
  2. OU's proximity to Texas and DFW specifically will prevent them from completely falling off the map like Nebraska. As OP stated, they are basically where we were in Strong's first year--a gutted roster with an incompetent HC. They'll give Venables 2 or 3 years, and then start the process over again. However, it's a tougher rebuild than Texas; I doubt they'll still be able to pull top 10 classes after several seasons of mediocrity.
  3. Depends on how you define resurrect. Make them respectable? Or make them legit contenders? You need top 5 recruiting classes for the latter. I can't imagine that happening at Nebraska, unless they do something completely outside the box.
  4. 14-13 over Rutgers. Is Nebraska...back? On a serious note, they should just say fuck it and go after Deion. Laugh if you will, but he would immediately put them in the national spotlight for the first time in 20+ years. And recruits love the spotlight. It would be the ultimate high risk/high reward hire, but what do they have to lose at this point? Matt Campbell or Luke Fickell aren't resurrecting that program.
  5. Yeah, just sounds a lot better. I'll take 49-0 though.
  6. He was limping after recovering the botched snap. Didn't seem to affect him the rest of the game. Seems like he's just a guy that gets "hurt" a lot, but not necessarily "injured."
  7. No trophies for him to do that with.
  8. We're just fans, and we've been kicked in the balls repeatedly for 12 years. We can blame and whine about whatever the hell we want.
  9. Every major program has wealthy meddling donors, and every fanbase would be fickle after 12+ years of suckage.
  10. The way he filled out his staff was a huge red flag for me. Hiring a DC after filling out the defensive staff? An O-line coach that doubles as the OC? Just a shit show from the beginning.
  11. I thought we should've just retained Ash. Whatever.
  12. Nothing about his resume suggests that.
  13. Herman also wasn't able to throw NIL money at recruits. Not defending Herman (he had 4 years and couldn't get it done), but it's not like Sark is some recruiting savant.
  14. Why is anyone surprised? The guy has a nearly decade long track record of mediocrity as a HC. This is what we signed up for.
  15. We need to go back to black shoes/socks with our home jerseys.
  16. Tom was/is an asshole, but that had nothing to do with him being fired, and has nothing to do with him not coaching now. Remember when we tried replacing him with Urban? He was fired for being mediocre. He's a high floor/low ceiling coach. His teams play physical and he has some talent as a game planner (when he feels like it), but he doesn't know how to run an elite program. He had multiple recruiting classes with only two O-linemen, and Kai Money was getting meaningful snaps in his final year. Watching guys like Luke Brockermeyer and Jett Bush on our 3rd string defense last night was a nice reminder of his terrible roster management.
  17. Thank god the collar longhorn and jumbo font are gone
  18. There have always been teams that gobbled up the talent. What Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State have done is nothing new. We did the same thing in the 2000s. The "problem" is that Bama is just too fucking good.
  19. We've recruited just as well as OU over the years. Not to the level of Bama/UGA/Clemson (although that could change with NIL), but not far behind. Our problem is that we've squandered more talent than any program in the country. I don't really care if they expand the playoff or not, but it's not going to fix Texas' problems.
  20. What message? That Bama needs to not be so good?
  21. But remember guys, Sark didn't have the players to compete with the big boy Arkansas Razorbacks of the mighty mighty SEC.
  22. It was Bama/ND and tOSU/Clemson in the semis.
  23. Both teams will need to win in the semis for there to be a rematch. The only "fix" is for other teams to step up and beat the SEC teams. I don't want to see it either, but that's the reality.
  24. Giving you shit.. but a Bama/UGA semi ain't happening. First (and most importantly), we just watched it. Second, Cincy is seen as the easiest matchup, and Bama gets the benefit of the doubt because they're fucking Bama. But if you beat UGA (and I think you have a decent chance), we don't have to worry about a rematch.
