  1. So this is going to be a long post, but a few thoughts about Sark, this staff, position groups, game performance, and Arky. Sark: I think we hit a home run hire. I was drunk on the Meyer bandwagon and I really didn’t know what to expect with Sark due to him flaming out at USC. This dude is arguably the best QB coach and play caller in college football. How many QBs has he had drafted? NFL scouts trust him. He put on yet again a coaching clinic last week. The 3rd and 4th down plays were perfectly designed and got our best players open. How many times would Herman sub out our best players on critical downs and basically play hero ball with Sam. This team and players are going to love him. He was a successful D1 player so he can relate to these guys. This is an elite coaching staff that we’re in comfortable situations that chose to leave to follow him. Contrast that to Herman who brought a G5 staff and brought in guys like Tim Beck that were basically told to look for other jobs. Just really happy that we have Sark. QB: Card is the real deal. When was the last time we had a qb that was throwing guys open? If this is his floor, he’s going to be the best passer since Colt. Sark recruited and offered Card at Bama. I don’t think he takes this job is Card isn’t on the roster. I fully believe he was going to start Card the minute he got here bc his skill set is perfect for his offense. But he let Card prove himself to the team and didn’t just hand him the job. How do you earn your teams respect and beat out a veteran player that the team likes? You do it by kicking ass with the 2nd team. RB: This is the best RB room in the country. How refreshing was it to see our best player get utilized and put in successful situations. I’m excited to see how we use K. Robinson. That guy has another gear that most defenses aren’t built to defend. WR: If you don’t have speed, you probably need to transfer (looking at you Troy O). Sark has a type and I don’t think he’s going to compromise. There’s a reason a 160lb Freshman WR is starting over everyone else when he showed up just a few weeks ago and didn’t even know the play book. I feel great about Worthy, Whit, and Moore. OL: Work in progress. I’m optimistic. We ran the ball pretty well against a veteran well coached defense. Obviously we need work, but I trust these coaches to scheme around the OL and they will scheme plays to their strengths. How refreshing is that compared to the idiots we had under the last 2 regimes. DEFENSE: PK and these boys completely punked the ragin Cajuns. Napier is a damn good coach. We contained a mobile quarterback, did not let them convert 3rd downs, and shut down their running game. When was the last time we could say that? Special teams: the Pat block followed by anticipating the onside kick. Wow…. For the last decade, these coaches couldn’t even teach the players when to fair catch. Very impressed with Banks. Game thoughts: Herman would talk about making teams tap out but he had no idea how to do it. Let this sink in… Napier had to go for an onside kick in the 2nd quarter bc his defense was gassed and we were dominating the time of possession. This is the first game in 7 years that I felt we were prepared in all 3 phases. This is also the first time in 4 years our back ups got meaningful snaps to build depth. Until the Alamo bowl against CU, Herman never could even get his backup QB in for meaningful snaps bc every fucking game was in doubt regardless of competition. How nice was it to see Casey run our offense in the 3rd quarter while we were up 2+ scores. Arky: This has to be a statement game and Sark and company know it. You don’t think recruits will compare our performance to Arky with aggy/LSU? It’s going to be a hostile environment. With that said, I’m not sure Arky has a player on their roster that would start over any of our guys outside of Catalon. Their QB is Tyrone Swooped. He can’t throw for shit. To take the crowd out of the game… I expect us to lean heavily on our RBs, control time of possession, and utilize the exact same game plan on defense. They will focus on stopping Arkys run game and ask our DEs to hold the edges and keep their QB in the pocket. We’re going to force them to beat us with their passing game while we ask our DBs to keep everything in front of them. I think this game is going to look very similar to our first game from a game plan stand point and I expect a similar score as well. I’m going with 34-20. Hook em boys. Sorry for the long post but I feel really good about our program, something I haven’t felt since 2008 to be honest.
  2. Seems to me he wants Bama but also doesn’t want to be Bama’s ins policy. Seems like Bama is telling him he can commit but isn’t pressing. I read a blurb from one of the 9.95ers that if he felt that Bama wasn’t fully in on him then it probably bodes well for us. With that said, who the eff knows…. Maybe Bama told him what he wanted to hear…
  3. Bj Foster should be benched after his effort on that TD. Looks like we will need to coach Todd Orlando’s tackling and angles out of him still
  4. Yeah, not sure you can let them run down your throat like that. PK gets the benefit of the doubt but run defense needs some work.
  5. Let’s go!! Drop those burnt end bags to Brewer!!
  6. Signed up for a vpn and still didn’t work. Fml. edit: got it work on the fox sports app using my YouTube tv with a vpn. Thanks guys! I’m gonna get drunk and watch this shit at the bar.
  7. I’m computer illiterate and will 100% download the wrong thing. Any recs on legitimate vpns?
  8. Tried that and still not allowing me to stream. Thanks for the links, will try those.
  9. Anyone know where I can stream this game? Freaking YouTube tv will not let me log in while I’m on vacation in Mexico. Tried logging into my sisters att account but still won’t let me. Anyone have a link? I’m happy to pay to watch it.
  10. That’s the frustrating part. Like you said, we can do all of it…. Yet we haven’t. Our school seems to be more focused on compliance and rules when the ncaa has basically said that you can make up the damn rules and figure it out on your own.
  11. Is he not enrolled and in college? I thought he had already graduated high school, reclassified for 2021 and was enrolled at tOSU. I could be wrong though. Not sure why our admin and coaches didn't pitch and put together something like this for him...
  12. Well it is at schools that care about winning. Someone get Red to please drop 2 mil for Arch Manning.
  13. Texas has royally dropped the ball on NIL. I'm happy us fans are trying, but there is only so much we can do. It doesn't surprise me when we're a middle of the pack program when our administration has constantly been behind the elite schools. There is no reason Texas should not have been at the forefront of this from the start. You want elite talent? Then you're going to have to offer shit like this to the Bryce Youngs and Quinn Ewers. I hate watching Bama, Clemson, tOSU set the damn standard. Hell even Oregon is ahead of us with NIL. Just constantly disappointment. This program has always been reactionary and it is only when they get intense pressure from the alumni based on threats of pulling their donations. I'm glad we're giving a few TEs some lunch money on a monthly basis. I fully expect Arch to end up signing with a school that is going to put together a great NIL package, while we're telling our recruits to increase their social media following and to do cameos. For once, I would like us to use the millions of dollars this university has to give us an actual competitive advantage. Quinn should still be in high school and they lined this up for him. What has our school done for an elite talent like Bijan? Where are his big NIL deals? CDC and Hartzell, get your fucking shit together.
  14. If Flood can get even decent play out of Christian Jones, he's going to get looks from scouts with his size and athleticism. There's a chance we're replacing 3 starters on the line this year. Good news is that Hayden Conner looks like he can start for us later this year at tackle if his progression continues.
  15. Random thought, but remember when we had 6 scholarship OL for the spring roster back in 2014 under Charlie Strong after we fired Mack? We've come a long way...
  16. Let's go! Just need to make sure he qualifies. Bo doing work!
  17. Need to get Arch and I bet Owens and Cook follow soon.
  18. Yeah, I remember when both he and Herman were the hottest coaching candidates. He will flame out just like Herman.
  19. These two teams are terrible and boring to watch…
  20. Can’t see ipihb either
  21. Just watched the paper tigers. Fantastic movie!
  22. So does everyone in the house basically know at this point that there’s an all black alliance? It’s going to be hilarious to watch this from here on out. The other players aren’t even trying at this point because they know they are out and no one wants to be the first to say that there’s an all black alliance.
  23. Dude, you are taking my posts way too seriously first of all. This is a message board for die hard longhorn fans. Sorry if I don't give a fuck about a freshman ou nickel player that is on portal watch within his first semester because he can't handle a breakup. Guess what, we're going to kick ou's ass with Sark and Bowman being here isn't going to make a difference, just like it didn't when Adrian Peterson chose poorly. Now if you want to write a nice little letter to some ou fans about how this "rivalry stuff" means nothing, go ahead. Man, we've gotten soft around here lately...
  24. I forgive Royal for being a sooner, he realized which school was better 😜 I get that the last decade has really made us some bitches, me included... but I never thought we'd be welcoming sooner players to come play for us after they publicly decommitted right after the biggest game against our biggest rival and then proceeded to flip to them. Now if he comes here and balls out, I will be the first guy with a Bowman jersey because I'm a huge longhorn homer. But until then, he can fuck himself
  25. Our roster is comprised of two 5 star WRs and a bunch of 4 star top 300 prospects. Our WR woes have everything to do with terrible coaching and development. Our secondary is one of the better position groups with regards to depth, we're not exactly hurting there. Bowman's tape looks exactly like Jamison's in high school. He has speed, he's physical, he can cover. Not many schools recruited him as a WR, even if they agreed to let him start training camp there. Dude is currently playing nickel at ou. I was a big Bowman fan, but he decommitted and switched to our rival school right after we played them. Just a complete bitch move. I look forward to Xavier Worthy punking him on the field for years to come. I'm also a petty fuck that hates ou and aggy...
