The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
Sark's first season, coming off covid restrictions and with zero draft eligible players getting drafted? Herman fucked the roster and the team's mentality, and Sark did not have the time or the infrastructure to unfuck it. Plus, the dude just came from Bama. I assume he looked around the locker room and thought "shit, we've got a guy like Bijan? Surely I can do something with these guys." He had no idea how much quit players like Casey Thompson, Josh Moore, and BJ Foster had in their hearts. Not trying to defend Sark's '21 season, but it is certainly possible to defend it. Now 2022? A lot of our struggles that season are on Sark, his stubbornness, and his ego. We should have gone much better than 8-5, especially with winnable games against OSU and Tech. The TCU games was especially maddening, because it seemed like we had turned a corner.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
- SEC Refs Suck
Earlier this year I complained about the Mateer injury because I wanted to play a healthy OU. Part of my reasoning was that we wouldn't get credit for beating OU if their backup QB played, and even if Mateer played people would say he sucked because his hand was still hurt. To a certain degree, that's what is happening now - I've heard at least two national talking heads mention that his hand wasn't fully healed when OU played us in the context of ranking OU ahead of us despite the head-to-head. But here's the thing - I was wrong. Not in the sense of being factually inaccurate, but in the sense of being worried about something that won't matter. College football fans and journalists love narratives. Each season has stories and those stories impact how we view our team and the sport more broadly. And that's what you are talking about here and what I was talking about with the Mateer injury, narratives. We don't like how those games went because we knew how people would spin the story. But the committee doesn't work that way. Most of the comparisons they do are blind and are data driven. Although the "narratives" may have some secondary influence on how committee members think about the season, it's impact is de minimis. Now I'm not an idiot to say that the committee doesn't look at the teams or that they are completely blind. But to the extent that they compare helmets, they do it with an eye towards money and ratings. And that kind of bias will always favor Texas. That's a long way of me saying that I'm sympathetic to your concerns, but that they are ultimately misplaced. The refs tried to job us pretty hard, but it won't affect the rest of our season.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Hey man, we don’t kink shame on this board.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
FFS. Clearly didnt break the plane- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
What’s the deal with Guilbeau this season? He’s never been great in the backfield but it’s gotten especially bad. Can he not handle the move to CB? Could he move back to star/safety? Hes a good enough athlete that I’d like to see him deployed in some way, but he clearly can’t see the field well enough.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
This is why I can’t get too worked up about the 4th quarter performance. The refs had their full body weight on the scales. It was blatant. I don’t think anyone else will get that level of special attention, but let’s just hope FanDuel doesn’t have other plans.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Maybe, but I’m more talking about the cumulative bullshit of the last 4 weeks. Goes waaaaaaaaaay beyond the game threads. Or have you not read the “Sark to the NFL” thread?- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC

I like to think of myself as a patient person, but the last three weeks - during which we have not lost a game - has done more to engender my hatred for half the people on this site than the entire firs four seasons of Sark’s tenure. I’m an emotionally stunted retard and even I can see that y’all can’t process anything that doesn’t pass through your angry emotional filters. Sark and PK played this game exactly how you are supposed to. That’s what made the officiating so egregious. Also, Gilbeau to too dumb to play DB. Fire Akins for playing him, I guess? but you morons who are still complaining despite Sark and Manning’s having one their best games of the season need to go. The fuck. Away.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Fucking stupid posts. Ref ball kept this from being an absolute blowout. Or did y’all want Sark to air it out with a multiscore lead and only 5 minutes left in the game?- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Get fucked @Wilcox Cummingtonite you pathetic waste of skin. Go root for Oklahoma.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Wow. A holding call.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
With the PI too. Fuck em.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC

My optimism levels are dangerously uncautious right now. If I hope too much we’ll lose.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Ball dont lie- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
1) Stroh and Brooks are pretty big 2) Even calling them “speed bumps” is an insult to speed bumps- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Damn, Arch took that hit like a champ- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Sark is finally doing what we’d all hoped he would - call plays for the team he has, not the team he wants.- Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
He’s been insufferable since the UK game. Broken brain, may have legitimate mental illness.- Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
