  1. Okay lets compare for fun. Worthy: Freshman- 62 rec, 981 yards, 12 TDs Sophomore (broken hand)- 60 rec, 760 yards, 9 TDs, 1 passing TD Junior- 75 rec, 1014 yards, 5 TDs, 1 punt ret TD Wingo: Freshman- 25 rec, 472, 2 TDs Sophomore- 50 rec, 770 yards, 7 TDs Draw your own conclusions.
  2. My mistake, I didn't consider Vandy a big game. I'd like to see that type of play against tOSU, UGA, ou's DBs. While great on offense, their defense isn't their strength. Luckily he was able to high point a pass from Arch with no one within 20 yards of him against aggy. When I see him mossing UGA's DBs like Golden, I'll consider him a WR1. Those are the types of WRs we need for next year.
  3. Yes, I remember Worthy having drops, he also played with a broken hand. Even then, he did not have anywhere near the drops Wingo had. Comparing them is dumb. Worthy hit damn near 1000 yards with freshman year, 800 his soph year, and had a solid Jr year with all the talent on that team (AD, and JWhit). He made big plays in big games against Bama, ou, etc. He's also been a starter on a playoff team his 1st and 2nd year in the NFL. Wingo is not that. The aggy game is the 1st time I remember Wingo making a big time play against a top 10 opponent? I'd prefer not to put all our eggs in his basket and get a proven WR in the portal. I also want to clarify, I want Wingo on the team, but not as WR 1. DM Jr can get fucked in the portal. Dude had 1 Td until the Arkansas game.
  4. I'm pissed but I feel for Miami fans. Given the head to head with Notre Dame and being left out with the same record is beyond stupid. What is the fucking point of even playing the games if you won't account head to head. Same reason I think it's laughable that we are behind ou, aggy and Vandy in some polls. All 3 of those teams likely have 4 losses if they played our schedule. We were in control of all 3 games yet we are ranked behind for losing to the #1 and #3 team in the country. If teams were to play on a neutral site amongst the top 12, Texas would be favored in against all the teams outside of 4-5 teams. Miami should 100% be in front of Notre Dame. At the end of the day, they beat them and that supersedes any other stupid metric or eye test when records are equal.
  5. Let's not compare Wingo and Worthy. No one wanted Worthy gone bc of his play. It was his social media BS and constant threat of transferring that had fans sour on him. Wingo is all potential and extremely inconsistent. He has dropped too many passes in crucial games in crucial moments. He is soft fighting DBs and rarely fights for the ball making contested catches. His route running is poor. He is fast, that is is elite trait. I'm not saying I want Wingo gone but I would not be happy if he's our WR1 going into next year. We need consistency and a guy that we can turn to when the game is on the line. AD Mitchell made game winning plays. Golden made game winning plays. If it's 4th and 15, how confident are you that Wingo makes the play? Given that next year is the year before we rebuild again in 2027 on the O-line, QB, and defense, we need guys at WR, RB, and TE that can help us win a title.
  6. WR and probably a contributor day 1 in some form. He is elite!
  7. Anyone have home ins recs? I bought a home 2 years ago and the yearly premium went from 4.5k to 6k last year to fucking 8.7k for next year. It's mercury, not even the greatest policy or coverages. Is this what everyone is paying now? If you of you have contacts to someone that can help me get a cheaper policy, please dm me. Oh btw, fuck insurance companies. My fucking silver BCBS ppo plan for self employed for healthy family of 4 (mid 30s and 2 kids under 3), is fucking $2600 a month (fucking 9k ind deductible). Now my home owners ins is damn year $800 a month. Auto insurance for two cars $300 a month. Then fucking disability and life insurance. I'm damn near paying 45k a year in fucking insurance premiums. Fuck all of them mother fuckers. This doesn't even fucking include my business property and gen liability or malpractice insurance. This country fucking sucks. Rant over.
  8. I think between Jonah (assuming he goes through spring practice), Hicks, JJR, Filsame, and D. Williams… there is plenty of talent. If McDonald comes back, even better. Definitely think 1 experienced safety in the portal would be good but I don’t think it’s a must. Personally, if I’m Jelani, I would go pro. He’s got great measurables, had a very good year on film and safety is not a position of value in the nfl so staying doesn’t exactly improve his draft stock much. I think he can easily go rounds 2-4 with how well he will test at the combine.
  9. I doubt Goosby goes pro. Bobby and Gerry have said that the family understands development is needed and they’re not looking to play one year and go late in the draft like Cam Williams.
  10. We will likely take 1-2 OL players. Goosby and Baker are back with extensive experience and will have an entire offseason to add weight. Nick Brooks is going to lock up one of the guard spots. He’s too big and talented to sit on the bench. Another offseason will help him too. We need to see if Cruz and Kibble are ready. If so great, but that is where I look in the portal for an experienced center or guard. We don’t need Kelvin Banks. We just need “better than Stroh”. Then we also will have Cojoe back and let’s see if Chatman and the Coleman brothers come on. I probably would also take an experienced tackle that is fine riding the bench incase Goosby or Baker get hurt. As far as WR. Moore is either declaring for the draft only to go undrafted and straight to the practice squad. Or him and Wingo can go play at Missouri, Tenn, UCLA. Those two are getting paid and not producing. Georgia got Noah Thomas, Branch. Aggy got Craver, Conception. There are plenty of very good WRs with experience that would come here to compete. If I’m Sark, I keep Mosley and Livingstone if they aren’t costing much and upgrade the WR1 and WR2 spots. The freshman can leave if they want. Who is going to pay them what they are getting here? None of them outside of McClutcheon warrants top dollar or has proven they can play at this level. They may down the line, but you don’t waste dollars to sit on the bench. We absolutely NEED a stud RB. It may be the biggest need on this team. We don’t have a single back that can do the things Sark requires. Wisner is a good but he’s not a RB1 consistently. Baxter is a shell of his former self. The young guys didn’t instill confidence with their play. If there is one position I throw money at, it’s RB. I think the defense has a ton of young talent. I don’t think we need as many guys on defense. A safety and CB. Maybe a LB and DT for depth. Simmons, January, Watson, Zina. Spence, Lefau, Smith, Littleton, Phillips, Black is a great starting point. Add a few guys for depth and let the young 5 stars compete for depth. I feel much better about the defense than offense as far as holes in the roster.
  11. Well they are 5 stars that we are paying well. If they aren’t producing and couldn’t beat out a guy that we took late for probably a fraction of the cost, then yeah, they are “just another guy”. This is a business now. These guys are coming here basically under contracts. There is a cap. We get 1 more year of Arch. If they aren’t producing, then we need to use those funds for WRs in the portal that can contributors. If they want to stay on the team and take less dollars, that’s great. But there is no reason for us to pay players top dollars to sit the bench.
  12. Wingo and Moore are getting paid big bucks right? The ROI on them has been trash. If I remember, you stated Moore had a ridiculous ask at the end of last season and was ready to walk. I’m assuming we are opening the door for him after this season? Wingo has been a complete bust given the expectations with his drops and he is probably the highest paid WR on the roster. Use his money for someone that will actually make a difference. Terry , Lockett, French all got paid and couldn’t beat out Daylon McClutcheon? In today’s rev share and caps, the elite guys have to produce and you can’t have WRs sitting the bench eating up NIL when there’s basically a cap now. They may be portal out but it’s gonna be to Missouri, Rutgers, etc. I don’t think Ohio State, Bama, UGA, Oregon wants these JAGs.
  13. 3-6-9 … friend in line…
  14. Man these last few commits and guys we are after seem like JAGs and our plan B and C options. This staff has shown the ability to find late risers and have hit on their fair share of 3 stars and players that were offered and evaluated late so I guess they get the benefit of doubt. But yeah, taking guys from Standford, Cal, Minnesota doesn't seem like a recipe for success when we want to beat UGA and tOSU.
  15. All REE stocks are tanking…. Or maybe going back to their normal price before the August, September rally.
  16. This! It's not like this is his first time either. Given everything the donors, fans, university has poured into this program... it's not unreasonable to expect your HC to do his damn job and hold his coaches, his players, and himself accountable. This roster cost almost 40 million. I'm sure those donors are thrilled about the man allegedly sticking his dick in his player's sister and letting his wife allegedly fuck around with the WRs. I'm sure they are thrilled that he missed JR day last minute when many of these recruits are paid to fucking show up. He's not the manager at taco bell. He's the CEO of a damn near billion dollar brand/team. You think this shit would fly under Saban? Coaches talk about how miserable he is to coach under because of how demanding he is on his staff and players every fucking year. Yet our HC is on benders and giving the team and staff more rest! People have stated that Nansen and Sark were drinking buddies. Add in Banks. We've got 3 guys on this staff that probably need a fucking baby sitter to make sure they aren't embarrassing the university. If any of this is remotely true, Sark is fucked. First thing any NFL team or college team is going to do is call Texas and ask if he has been drinking on the job. The most likely scenario here is that Texas does their best to hide this shit and hope he changes considering where the program has grown to. It would be embarrassing for the university for him to be fired this year. Unless there is a definitively better replacement, you keep him and tell him to straighten the fuck up. If it bleeds into next season, at least now you have time to start vetting candidates to replace him. The only thing that really bothers me is that if you have lost your locker room, you're basically toast. Those guys will not fight for a coach they don't respect or believe in. Let's see how these dudes play the last two games. I really don't have much confidence honestly.
  17. Dude, that game was not close. It was a 4 point game for all of 3-4 minutes before it was back to being a 2 score game. We were down 2 scores 90% of the game and lost 35-10. We scored 1 fucking TD! The games are not 3 quarters. They are 4. The team doesn't get some moral victory for cutting the lead down to 4 points for a few minutes. Georgia controlled that entire game. They beat us physically. They out coached us. Then their head coach talked shit after the game about our toughness or lack of it to be specific. This loss wasn't like losing to Kansas. But it did solidify that we are not a top 5 program and not even close to taking down the top dog. It wasn't close and it was a blow out as the score shows. We would be laughing at aggy right now if they called a 35-10 game close.
  18. I think it's hilarious how we skipped the spring game, had a light fall camp, rested tons of players during the season that could have played.... so we could have a healthy roster for the.... Alamo Bowl. If only we'd had physical practices like other programs to prepare this team for the grind and physicality of this conference. This is one of the softest teams I've seen at Texas in a while relative to the talent level. Also most undisciplined Texas team I have seen in my 20+ years of watching Texas football.
  19. I agree with all of this. I didn't expect us to win the national championship this year, but I expected us to be competitive. We have looked like dogshit in at least 1 phase of the game if not 2-3 in every game this year. This is year 5. These are Sark's hand chosen players. These are his coaches, his schemes, his roster. There are no excuses for being young in today's portal era. The reason we are young, was because "the staff loves this roster". Really? They love these players? UGA and Ohio State lose more than we did to the draft and turnover yet they are both top 5 and beat us decisively with neither game ever being in doubt. I know we lost by 7 to tOSU but that was a 14-0 game most of the game and they simply burned clock until our 4th down score late in the 4th. Why is it that those staffs can manage turnover and have disciplined teams yet we look like shit. We were ranked 100+ in penalties last year, and we are 2nd to last this year. This is a COACHING problem! We are undisciplined and soft, yet this is top 3 roster from a budget and NIL stand point. I'm not sure how Sark is going to really fix this without cleaning house because we return the bulk of the same undisciplined and soft players next year. Oh btw, don't look at 2027 recruiting.... aggy is about to kick our ass and take the cream of the crop. I bet that is going to sit really well with the donors considering the money they have invested while watching this drunk coast through the year and coast through recruiting. Dude couldn't show up to the most important junior day this year. Shit I'm sick half the year and I make it to work, let alone on one of the most important recruiting days for your program. It's clear he has personal life issues, it's clear he neglected his job, and it's clear he's looking for an exit. I think these reports are definitely not from Sark's side. This is someone that is trying to create a rift and force his exit sooner than later. Who and why? I have no idea. CDC and the board better not get caught with their pants down with signing day approaching and portal window opening. With that said, who is hiring this dude? I wouldn't even hire him as a OC in the NFL or even college considering he struggles to put up 7 points against good defenses. Unless we fire him for cause, not sure we can get rid of him even as I'm not sure who would invest in him with all his issues.
  20. This is year 4 for Venables…
  21. Kinda expected this. We’ll do more of the same. Georgia will control the clock and get 2 more FG. We’ll score in garbage time with the game out of hand and go in our “crisis” mode that we do at the end of games. This team is who is it is and they’ve played like it tonight. Undisciplined, penalties, drops, giving up 3rd and longs. This is an 8-4 team and that is a complete disappointment considering the talent and the budget these coaches have to work with when it comes to NIL.
  22. We are the #2 rush defense in the country.... stop.
  23. So this is a big game for Texas and Sark from a national standpoint and reputation standpoint for Sark. There's the narrative that Texas can't get over the "Georgia" hump and that Sark is 0-6 against Deboer, Day, Kirby. There is also everything on the line for this season. Let's break it down. Against teams with good defenses (Bama, Auburn, Florida) UGA scored 21, 20, 24. The only teams to put up over 30 points on UGA were Ole Miss and Tennessee, yet both lost. Georgia is effective in running the ball, their QB is one of the most efficient passers in CFB, and they are clicking in all phases of the game right now. Then factor is Kirby working the refs and UGA getting all the calls against our last 2 games against them and against the rest of the SEC. Georgia also doesn't lose at home. Texas on the other hand has struggled to put up more than 20 points on all the P4 teams we have played until Mississippi State. Our offense has looked good really through 4 quarters this entire year. 4th quarter against Mississippi State and first 3 quarters against Vanderbilt. Neither defense has the athletes, bodies, talent, or schemes that UGA, Ohio State, Florida, and ou have. Texas has also played 4 road games, 2 losses and 2 OT wins against Kentucky and MSU. Look at this match up, I will be utterly shocked if we can run the ball. UGA has a good run defense but terrible pass rush. I think Sark has to look at what Ole Miss and Tennessee did and what Georgia Tech has done against them. I would throw play action out the window against UGA. I would simplify everything for this offense in hopes of staying in 3rd and short. Arch is going to need to run the ball when he can to get 3-4 yards and slide just to keep positive momentum on offense. I would run zone read and limit the pass options. I would attack their secondary and I would lean on Arch to throw it 30+ times. We are going to have to win this game on Arch's shoulders. I have no confidence in this OL, no confidence in our WRs, and no confidence from our TEs. We don't have a #1 WR that can go and make a 50/50 catch outside of Mosley. I hope that this is the Mosley's coming out party, and he can win 1 on 1s. Wingo is the least physical WR I have seen in a Texas uniform since Malcolm Epps. Against a team like UGA, I'm not expecting much of anything from him. Moore is a not elite in anything and will be good for 3 catches and 40 yards likely. I think we're going to need Livingstone and Mosley to have big games and win their match ups. Endries will need to have the best blocking game of his life this Saturday. Baxter is going to need to play a lot to run inside and for his blitz pick up. Defensively, I like how we match up against UGA for the most part. We need to take away what they are going to do, which is run the ball. We need to keep them in 3rd and 7 or longer. As much confidence I have in our pass rush and run defense, our secondary has reverted back to its usual self. Outside of last year where we had an experienced and extremely talented group, this secondary has been pretty average to bad every year PK has been here. The pass rush is going to have to get pressure without breaking contain on Stockton and not hope our secondary is going to hold up for 4 seconds. Hopefully having Taaffe back fixes our issues on the back end. If I'm PK, I attack their 2 true freshman OL. The bend but don't break defense is not one I would roll in with into this game. We need turnovers, we need UGA to feel out of rhythm and we need to for them to win this game on Stockton's arm. If they get ahead early and control the clock, this will get ugly. If our defense can do the above and if we can get ahead of UGA to start the game, we have a chance. The reality of it is this team has yet to put together a complete game in all 3 phases. We are undisciplined in penalties, struggle to run the ball, do not pass block well and generally start slow and play catch up in all of our big games. Given the above my heart says we win 23-21. My head says we lose 20-13 with UGA being up two scores most of the game and us making it close at the end but never really being in it.
  24. Man, I got out of all REE stonks. I checked them today and boy are they tanking hard. That run we saw was crazy in August/September.
  25. Yes, late Mack Brown had a thing for recruiting elite QBs like RGIII, JFF, and Mahomes at safety. He also passed JT Barrett for Tyrone Swoopes. But the dude has a national championship ring. Tom Herman on the other hand is/was a complete fraud.
