You really look like you're about to cry. I can relate because I had that same look almost to a "T". If the words "please, somebody murder me" ran through your head at that exact moment, then yeah, I feel you.

He's a RS-JR, already. My personal opinion is Flood is just a fucking moron. I don't think Neto sucks or anything, it's just negligence. There is absolutely no way Brooks, a true frosh who's never played G is better than a guy who has played LG his entire career. It was a panic move by both Sark and Flood and now we have three tackles playing on the o-line, and two natural guards pretending to play C. They refuse to admit to their mistake, even at the cost of the season or him transferring because of narcassism and they won't admit they are wrong.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
William Bludworth replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
They were. JC Latham and Evan Neal. Latham wasn't even coached on the line because Flood was here and Latham didn't start until his JR year, and then went pro. Neal started as a FR, but as a guard. He was a FR AA before moving to RT where he struggled, then Flood left and he was moved to LT where he earned AA and All-SEC. Three OL players from that 2019 class are still in college and all transferred, outside of the Evan Neal. He only took two in 2020 and both transferred and are still in college. 2021 he took 4, and only one was drafted in Latham, while the other three all transferred, one to Syracuse, one transferred/retired (Tommy Brockermeyer), and his brother, James is at his third school at Miami. Basicallly erase the 2020-2021 classes outside of recruiting since he didn't coach them, and the one he did was for 1 season (2020). He gets no credit for these two. No credit for Neal, either, since he was basically his Banks, and then put him at the wrong position (shocker, I know), left, and then whomever coached next put him at his preferred position. Flood is a joke. -

Ugh. I have to go to Starksville. I said I wanted to see all of the SEC venues, and now I regret it. Those fucking cowbells. It's only Tuesday and I hate my life already thinking about those yokels. $50 says our seats are right next to this annoying motherfucker. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
William Bludworth replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
It won't matter. Flood will be gone. Someone has to take the fall for this, and since the o-line is two FR, a RS-SOPH, two upperclassmen guards trying to play Center, and a senior, that's all on Flood for not developing what he recruited, which is almost identical to his two years at Bama, but he got to coach Doug Marrone's players, while someone else got to coach players Flood recruited who eventually transfered, busted, and had two first rounders. -
Playing? I'd say more like suiting up and watching.

Arch Manning: "maybe the concussion helped"
William Bludworth replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
He was only there for two seasons and was using Doug Marrone's players, not his own. I did his recruiting breakdown for Bama and only two got drafted that he recruited, but he wasn't the one to get them drafted. The others either busted or transferred. I can't remember which thread it is in. -
Sure, Jan.

Arch Manning: "maybe the concussion helped"
William Bludworth replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
The trick play will forever be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a game so early. The fail was so intense it felt like i was re-watching the video of this guy who asked a girl in Australia while he was visiting if he jumped into the water with crocs would she go on a date with him? Guess how that ended? He did get the date, but he is 3/4 human now. -
The Most Disappointing Season, or the Greatest Comeback Season Ever?
William Bludworth replied to Dbeasy's topic in Football
This isnt the most disappointing season lol. Yes, our offense is herpes and hpv combined, but our defense fucks. It's a shams offensively we have an idiot who refuses to use anyone who is under the age of 19 for any reason other than a few carries, but definitely zero WR's. Our o-line is trash, but that's what you get when you hire your buddies. If/when CDC "recommends" changes to the staff, hopefully we can get a real o-line coach who can recruit anyone above a 3* and develop. But our defense is what is saving this from being the worst season ever. Now if we go 6-6 after making the semis the last two years? Yeah, I'll agree then. -

Arch Manning: "maybe the concussion helped"
William Bludworth replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
Correct. It's negligence because we have Lockett who is a mucn better and natural "X" with stronger hands who will challenge DBs and win the 50/50 balls, but classic Sarkisian doesn't want to dumb down the playbook to get the talented freshmen we have legit playing time. He literally had a blue print watching UF use both Dallas Wilson 6/111/2 and Vernell Brown III 3/72 to abuse our secondary. Steve "offensive guru" Sarkisian offense to WR's - Ryan Wingo (TEX) - Soph - 320 - 4 TD's (credit where credit is due, against UF he went 4/73/1) Parker Livingstone (TEX) - 308 - 3 TD's (2/47/0 against UF) DeAndre Moore (TEX) - 277 - 1 TD (3/75/0 against UF) Endries had a 2 yd TD against UF Wisner 2/17/1 against UF All of these guys that we've either played or are on a top 25 team WR stats are either younger, same class, or much better (disregard TD's since the yards reflect getting open and moving the chains): Vernell Brown III (UF) - FR - 463 0 TD's Bryant Wesco, Jr. (Clem) - Soph - 537 - 6 TD's TJ Moore (Clem) - Soph - 407 - 3 TD's Ryan Williams (Bama) - Soph - 423 - 3 TD's Jeremiah Smith (fOSU) - Soph - 602 - 7 TD's Mario Craver (aggy) - Soph - 674 - 4 TD's Dakorian Moore (ORE) - FR - 394 - 3 TD's Deuce Alexander (Ole Miss)- Soph - 382 - 1 TD Malachi Toney (MIA) - FR - 510 - 3 TD's Braylon Staley (Tenn) - FR - 523 - 3 TD's Mike Matthews (Tenn) - Soph - 455 - 2 TDs All but 2 are over 400-500+ These are just WR stats. Their RB stats for these teams are well over 350+ -
Arch Manning: "maybe the concussion helped"
William Bludworth replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
This Niblett shit has to stop. Even though he only has 4 (it feels like more) It just has to stop. It's square peg round hole bullshit. It's time to get Clark/Simon/Terry/whomever more carries to help keep Wisner intact by the time we get to Georgia and aggy. Wisner is a dawg, but he's 190 lbs, and can get yac, but he gets worn down. He had 16 carries against that Ohio State defense, and grinded out 80 yards @ 5 ypc. That was game 1, so it was to be expected. Baxter had 10 for 40, so slightly above equal carries. Baxter hasn't played since UTEP where he had 1 carry for 6 yards, so essentially he's only played in 2 games. Wisner needs help, and we have it just sitting on the bench (Clark 32 carries, but 13 carries against SHSU, 7 against UTEP, and then it's just 1-3 carries w/ 1 TD; Simon 27 carries, 17 against UTEP, and then 9 vs SHSU and 3 vs OU w/ O TD's; Niblett 4 carries for 17 yds @ 4.3 ypc w/ 0 TD's Gibson, when he didn't portal, had 37 - 7 vs SJSU, 18 vs UTEP, 11 vs SHSU, and 1 against OU w/ 1 TD. Sark didn't even bother giving him carries against UF where his entire family came to see him. Dick move.). What's the point in having healthy RB's if you aren't using them effectively or effeciantly? 22 against OU 12 against Kentucky, and was stuffed repeatedly. 1 TD He only got 8 against UF because Sark wanted to let the ball fly. Still, 1 TD rushing and 1 receiving. He didn't play against any of SJSU, UTEP, SHSU. He has 58 carries for 222 yds in 4 games and he's averaging 3.4 ypc in conference & 3.8 tot w/ 2 TDs rushing and 1 receiving. He has 8 more carries than last year (I'm only doing 4 games against quality competition/conference) 3 tot TD's. That's abhorrent. Arch has the exact same amount of runs avg 3.3 ypc but w/ 5 TD's rushing He had 226 carries last year avg 4.7 ypc w/ 5 TD's rushing and 1 receiving in 15 games. Terrible. And we saw how banged up he was, and we had literally no one to help so we moved Niblett to RB. Now that we have healthy backs, Sarkisian isn't using them. How to mismanage your RB room 101. I don't know if it's Sark or Scott who is making the call to put which runners in, but they're failing....again. -
Arch Manning: "maybe the concussion helped"

Well hello there, Kendall Guervil. Welcome to Austin.

He's scared to admit he's wrong and refuses to use layman's terms for plays to get our talented freshmen real playing time instead of waiting until next year, which is basically their "welcome to CFB" year. It's stupid. Go back and look at Lockett against SJSU and you'll see what Ryan Wingo "should" be. He's coordinated, has strong, great hands, and fight for the ball. I don't care about competition, his two catches showed me he can play. The easiest thing to do is when telling Arch the play in his hwlmet, have Arch relay the play in layman's terms to the younger guys so they know where to line up and go. It's not rocket science. This would automatically create mismatches with our WR's, and if Wingo's lazy ass drops a pass, sit him and put in Lockett. They both play the "X" so it's not like it's foreign to him. Or, as I said to Imma, McCutcheon already has 4/26 so he or Ffrench can line up next to Moore and run 11 personnel. I know Sark looooves 12 personnel, but God damnit, he makes it so easy to scheme against. If he would routinely go from 12 personel, to 11, and even 21 throughout the game (Wisner and Terry/Simon/Clark, whomever), we can mudhole teams. Yes, I know our oline issues, as I've written at least three thesis papers on them on this very site, but with Brooks, we at least have someone who can bend, move, and doesn't try and actively tear up his own linemens knees and ligaments. Brooks has unfortunately been put in a tight spot as he learns on the go, but I would take him over Stroh every single game. And honestly, I don't know what the deal is with Neto, since LG is his natural position, but he can't be worse than Stroh. Shit, since Flood (apparently) moves his linemen around to get the best 5, why not try Kibble? He's a RS, and RG by trade, but he's talented and I don't see why we didn't try him. I believe Brooks (True FR) was a panic move, nothing more, and now he's stuck there. We have 3 true tackles playing in 5 spots - Goosby Brooks Baker; Hutson (natural shit G) who is dog shit dipped in Asswater playing C, and now we have Robertson (who is a natural G, but I believe was recruited as a C), rather than using Cruz (RS-FR), a guy who is a natural C just sitting there. Flood has fucked up so badly that I will bet CTJ sucks off Sydney if he's not shown the door by the end of the season. He's a goner. No more 3* Flood. CDC ain't putting up with that shut. He doesn't like losers, and right now, Sark is losing, and whether that be because of both play calling and O-line issues, it doesn't matter. Someone has to take the fall, and that will be Flood, and I hope to Xenu Milwee follows, but doubtful on that one.

I agree with a lot of this. I think you're 100% on point about the trust building/culture vs balling out on Saturday comment. People on this board think Sark is some kind of mystery, but he's really just stubborn for the sake of pulling a Herman and the I'm the smartest person in the building bullshit. But I really think you nailed it. So I keep beating this drum, but it also has to do with what I agree with above. The issue with Sark and his "trust tree" is it doesn't work in real time. In practice, sure. It's practice and it's zero sum. In real time he's missing the forest for the trees that he needs to make is play calls more in layman's terms for the younger players. Example A: McCutcheon has 4 catches for 52 yards for 13 ypc and a long of 26. He has yet to drop a pass. If the plays were simplified, we can see that this kid has juice and is extremely valuable. He's caught a pass in every game but two (UTEP and Kentucky). He's a perfect complimentary piece to Moore, and he can use them both at the same time, or give one a rest. Example B: Kaliq Lockett has 3 catches for 12 yards. He had 2 for 22 in game 1, was on the field for game 2 but recorded zero catches, and then had 1 catch for -11 yds, but that's not on him, that's on Arch, and then Sark just stopped playing him. I went back and looked at his catches against SJSU and he has extremely good hands and works for the ball. Same with Ffrench against SHSU with his lone catch of the season. But, of course, Sark doesnt want to use them for whatever reason (I assume RS year, and that's shit even Napier groans at), but I assume it's because the playbook might as well be written in Sumerian. If he would just use simplistic language (even tell Arch the play to tell who to go where) he could sit Wingo when he does his stupid shit like drop easy passes, and put in Lockett (same "X" position), while Ffrench can line up in the "Z" or next to the "Z" position, which gives Texas an ultimate mismatch. You can rotate Wingo, Livingstone, and Lockett (Lockett is the best WR with easily the best hands and isn't lazy and will fight for the ball, much like Smith, Wesco, Jr, and Ryan Williams, who all also play the "X"). Throw in Townsend or Washington in the "Y" and receiving has fixed itself (but Washington has to learn to block, and not "chip" block, and that's on Banks). Every person who has caught a pass more than 5 times has been in the program for at least a year (excluding Endries), so they know the playbook. Knowing and understanding are two different things, since we have all seen fucked up routes this season, and Endries is hit or miss (I don't know if he's just hit his ceiling as a player or what) If he would just dumb it down he would get more out of his #1 class offensively, which includes freak of nature Nick Townsend, who can do everything from catch, be a RB, blocker, whatever, and same with Michael Terry III (they might as well be one in the same, except I believe Townsend is faster, and Terry is quicker). Both are big mf'ers who have played RB, which if you're an intelligent human, we need in the worst way, and I believe would fix our RZ issues. We simply cannot keep punishing Wisner. Clark isn't getting yac if we're 8-10 yds away from the RZ, and Simon can't help but run into his own linemen (but man I love that kid. He's super quick but extremely uncoordinated atm). I don't know if Baxter is coming back this season, but we're only in game 7, but I use "only" lightly. Sark is so focused on his extremely dumb "trust tree" that he's holding himself and his offense back by using a wrench to fix Porsche, rather than all of the tools he has at his disposal. He's backing himself into a corner for no reason. He's essentially driving a Honda when he has a Rolls Royce or Lamborghini just sitting there. It's maddening.

Would you fuck this thing? Because this might be the only way. That's CTJ in real life, btw. Yes, it's true, he's really just a Discord mod.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
William Bludworth replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
No, they're not. We aren't losing to those rubes. They're fool's gold. Transitive property or not, Arky made them sweat by beating them by 3 against a roster full of lower tier FBS/FCS guys who are now at their 3rd or 4th school (that's not hyperbole, either), and they beat Auburn by 6, and could only manage 16 points. A team that has no QB, can't get the ball to their best WR in Cam Coleman, and has no running game except for Cobb, who isn't "terrible", but he's going into something other than sports. They aren't putting 16 against our defense, I don't care how bad we are offensively. We will always find a way to dunk on those dweebs. Add beating aggy are part of things that are constant on this earth - gravity, earth spinning 1.038 mph at the equator, African children getting malaria and/or dengue, Closetojagging being wrong, Helobious cursing us. Some things are just what they are. -
