    Do you remember the outcry that occurred when NIL was announced and the AD was caught completely flat-footed?

    Do you think that would have happened with Urban in charge?

    GTFO if you’re happy we didn’t get Urban. 

    Where do you see Meyer coaching next?

    So... I am concerned about one thing with Sark. Has he ever recruited a Dual Threat QB and let said QB threst dually?

    I think teams have to be stacked on stacked to win in CFB with a pocket only QB.

    I believe he’s on the record as saying he recruits passers to pass and runners to run. 
     

    I disagree strongly with that premise. Making the defense play 11 on 11 opens up many more opportunities. The QB doesn’t have to be VY, he just needs to be able to take yardage available and slide instead of being a statue who throws the ball away if there’s no open man. It’s fair to say that doing this doesn’t require a dual threat QB, per se, but this doesn’t seem like something he actively promotes. Or maybe he just doesn’t promote it as much as I’d like. Don’t know.

    It's almost like if Texas wants to play for a conference title they should show up in the games they're actually involved in.

    It will be helpful if you can continue to make variations of this statement every ten minutes or so. Super insightful.

    Continually putting a QB in third and longs has got to take a toll. Shitty play calling can set a QB up to fail. We almost did it yesterday until Sark realized that Baylor couldn't match our strength in the running game. Baylor was putting heavy pressure on Ewers. Sidenote: Was it fucking Mack who said "we're gonna run what we brung"?  Or GD who said "we're gonna take what they give us"? 

    I know it was Mack who told a reporter as he ran off the field after a 400+yd rushing thrashing of Tech that "we ran too much."

    Just say you made a claim you can’t support and move on.

    is this a joke? are you seriously claiming that tge standard training and development for todays kids is the same as it was in the 90's? next thing you're going to tell me that technology today is the same as it was in the mid-late 90's. 

    and again, you keep taking what i've actually said and then morphing it into something completely different. now you've done the same thing with your own statement! here's what you said:

    is you having the audacity to claim Peyton wasn’t coached from a young age. 

    i did not say that. never approached saying that. you made that you and then got upset at me for it. stop doing that. 

    C’mon, man, you directly distinguished Peyton Manning from kids who are coached at 7. By name.

    So what happened then? Why'd he get worse? Not sure I'd buy the argument that our last opponents were that much better. Maybe TCU, but Tech? Why great production in the first half and shitshows in the second half? Did playcalling get conservative, or did the QB get scared... or lose his skills?

    I think its pretty clear that Sark turtled. After getting a lead, he'd quit using deception and creativity on first and second down. He had far too many third and longs, and even with the calibre of talent in the backfield, seldom ran the ball on third and long. Something that can work if you make the right call with a speedy back. Very few swing passes. Almost never hit a back coming out of the backfield into the middle of the field. Never a pump fake. Almost never a screen pass... Against heavy rushes, I've seen teams run screen passes three plays in a row.

    Sark needs a Come to Jesus moment... or maybe a Come to Nick moment. Maybe an all expenses paid Sweat Lodge with Sabine? Forgive me Nick for I have turtled.

    You switched from a “Sarkisian tanked Ewers” argument to a “Sarkisian turtled” argument. And didn’t address any of what I was wondering about your original argument. Maybe explain how Sarkisian coached Ewers into “steadily declining.”

    Decided this post fits better in the Sark thread (vs. Ewers Mullet)

    It's entirely possible that Ewers has been coached down by this staff. 

    Vince Young told Greg Davis to go fuck himself so they let him do his thing.

    Ewers starts strong, gets hurt right out of the chute. Comes back, looks good, then steadily declines. I can just hear 'em. "Don't run with it..." "Stay in the pocket..." "Think before you release..." Maybe Ewers is trying to make them happy by reining in his natural instincts.

    For all we know, Sark and his OC are the problems. Their absolute inability to respond to adjustments (which surely by the TCU game should have been anticipated), leaves me to think Sark is the proverbial deer in the headlights when it comes to big games and critical decisions. I hope he proves me wrong, but in my mind, Sark is underperforming just as badly as Ewers. Coincidence?

    The people who think he does ok with QBs are just wrong, then? Or just wrong for Ewers? All the poor coaching through camp and his first games didn’t take, but the coaches eventually wore him down to get him throwing poorly?

    "Once the CFP fills its bowl slots..."

    The Sugar Bowl is included in that. The CFP committee sets NY6 matchups, utilizing conference tie ins where applicable.

    Then why include the Sugar Bowl in this list?

     

    Big 12 Bowl Partners
    Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining Conference teams. Following is the order of selection. A bowl may pick from any available teams with .500 or better records when it reaches its spot in the selection order. After the placement of those teams, slots will be filled from among the pool of remaining teams.

    Were the Cowboy and Rapelor games reffed by the same crew? In those 2 games we had a total of 19 penalties for 138 yards while the other teams had 1 for 2 yards. Interesting ...

    Yes, they were.

    They fucked us out of a NC game in 2008. They don’t give a shit about the post season.

    Complaining publicly might give some attention but recall how the b12 office handled the taunting horns down/horns up issue. They kept it in the media churn to make a simple request for clarity into a mountain.

    The game OU played in, you mean?

    Yep….  But that Okie State game was so obvious what was going on even aggy and OUSux fans on message boards and their friendly media were universally condemning what was going on.  Still burns me to this day we didn’t go ape post game  and our AD at the time didn’t press the issue in public.  Since then we get Ref crews like this one who chose to screw us either in obvious in your face ways such as a disparity in penalties called like this years Okie State game.    Or just plain ignore everything for the most part to have the same effect like yesterdays Baylor game.  

    I get it. What’s Texas’ leverage, though? 
     

    There’s a fine line between arguing that your guys deserve to play in a fairly officiated game and coming off as whiners. If it’s going to be done, it almost has to be done after a game you win or a game so egregiously bad — 2015 Oklahoma State — that even the people on the take blush. 
     

    Again, though, why should the Big 12 care much, especially the way things are in motion now?

  12. As a kid, I liked Michigan more than Ohio State because their uniforms were much cooler and their fight song was much better. 
     

    As an adult, I like Michigan more because I attended a game in Columbus and those assholes make Tech fans seem civilized by comparison. Those beer can throwing tools can die in a couch fire. 
     

    Also, the Michigan fans at the Rose Bowl were pretty cool and warned us about Columbus. I thought they were exaggerating — they weren’t — or that it was because they were rivals — it wasn’t.

    It's to the Big 12's benefit if Texas is in the CCG

    The refs make business decisions on a play-by-play basis so the game may be more interesting than we think.

    I’m not so sure. The fewer people who witness the 18 on 11 beatdown in Arlington — absent a complete demolition by TCU’s opponent — either in person or on TV, the better for the Big 12.

    This is a big part why we keep on getting screwed by certain Ref crews like this one against Baylor/Okie State and the ones who called our games against UTSA and Bama.    We haven’t had a coach since Mack who would ride the Refs all game long when the first instances of idiocy was revealed from a particular ref crew.  Mack and Dykes are old school with this and some of the newer generation of coaches have picked it up like Campbell.   While others like Sark and our prior two are not and they had plenty of opportunities to get on board. 
     

    Recall against TCU a few weeks ago early in the game TCU was on the receiving end of more penalties than we were and their was one call that set off Dykes and he was in the Refs ears  the rest of the half and while walking off the field at halftime?   Those flags stayed in the Refs pockets in the second half for the most part.     It works and coaches who do this get respect from their fan bases and to some extent from others especially if it’s known the conference officiating is a clusterfauck and they are not just being crybabies.  

    Counterpoint: “Unsportsmanlike conduct, Texas bench.”

    I think working the refs has an effect, in general. I don’t think there’s anything Sarkisian, CDC, or anyone in burnt orange can say that’s going to make the Big 12 accommodate the wishes of departing members, all the more so with a CFP spot on the line.
