  1. Hoping for a 2010 Nebraska type outcome where we go in, shitty offense and all, and ram it up their ass.
  2. Yep. He's always given me the impression that he sees this as his stepping stone to something else. Probably something non college football related.
  3. Extremely happy with the defense yesterday, but I worry about Bama just leaning on them all night while our offense fucks around for a half.
  4. When Florida hired him, all I could think about is how his veteran ULL team that had been hyped all summer long lost comfortably to our shitty '21 squad. It's still early, but I'm not sure if a job with Florida's expectations is a good fit for him.
  5. Bingo. Bama, Oklahoma, and Ohio State have decades of successful football in their histories. Clearly location isn't as big a deal as those of us from, or familiar with Austin wish it was.
  6. It's always fun to see people that think they're making themselves look cool; when in reality they look like a moron.
  7. Larry Coker, Ed Orgeron, and Jimbo Fisher are all inferior football minds to Sark, imo. If you have a roster that's truly stacked with talent, it masks a lot of coaching problems at the college level. I'm hoping the new age of special assistants helps allow Sark to shore up his blind spots.
  8. I still fail to see how being optimistic about the roster means one is swimming in Kool Aid. You accused me of making a strawman argument and then make the same strawman argument the original poster was making.
  9. It feels like you're looking at this whole thing in a vaccum. You seem to be basing your entire argument for us sucking this year on Quinn being raw as a true freshman and one player (Bijan) leaving. I love Bijan, but as amazing as he is, an elite rb is a luxury, not a necessity. I'll take a better overall offensive unit (OL, QB, WR) over any single rb, even one as good as Bijan. But if just saying we suck in 2023 because one player left and our young qb struggled is "real football discussion" to you, then continue on.
  10. Because understanding that a Freshman quarterback that hadn't seen live action in two years can actually mature means we think the team is unbeatable? Quinn was a mess at times last year, but wtf were you expecting?
  11. Doesn't matter. Sark's record from a decade ago means we can't possibly be good, no matter who is on our roster.
  12. Better start preparing yourself. The current students have spent their entire lives knowing nothing but SEC dominance.
  13. He's no Josh Pate, but I still enjoy his stuff. He seems to be way more accurate and in touch than most of the guys on traditional platforms these days.
  14. Going to secrant is the first mistake. As dense and ignorant as a lot of SEC fans tend to be, that board is the absolute bottom of the dumpster.
  15. An unprofessional, bush league conference is behaving unprofessionally? Who would have thought!? And yet they keep scratching their heads wondering why they've been relegated. At this point, i'm done paying any mind to it. Let's just win this po-dunk operation and gtfo.
  16. Hasn't he already visited DKR with two other programs?
  17. Didn't that Matt Hayes guy also write an article whining about how Cal was so much better than Texas when we got in the rose bowl?
  18. Lol, lack of winning history? That had a fluke year in the 50s, followed by a half century of mediocrity. It literally took the GOAT to make that shithole relevant.
  19. Historically, Tuscaloosa has never struck me as a uniquely tough place to play. Like the Orange Bowl back in the 80s, the difficulty has more to do with the team you're playing than anything.
  20. Jesus Christ, the narratives national guys come up with sometimes blows my mind. It's almost like they know a Manning is at Texas and haven't bothered to learn anything else about the QB room. Just completely contradicting all the Intel coming out of camp.
  21. I just don't know who I would even want us to go after at this point. There's no sure thing out there (I don't think Urban's a sure thing anymore for a few reasons). Kyle Shanahan seems like an NFL guy through and through. Traylor? I feel like if Sark fails, we have one more chance to get this shit right, before more long term damage to this program starts to set in. With that in mind, I feel like Traylor would be way too big a gamble. So yeah, I really hope Sark just works out. A shiver runs down my spine when I think about how we possibly might be one Gary Barnett hire away from 50 years of wandering the desert.
  22. We won't find out if Venables is going to be any good with that schedule, but if he does turn out to be a disaster, we'll know it this year if he has more than two regular season losses. Just pathetic. I don't want to hear them complain about the 24 SEC×3 schedule ever again.
  23. The biggest thing that gives me hope that I will see another football NC in my lifetime is reminding myself that Orgeron, Jimbo, Les Miles, and Larry Coker all have NC's.
  24. This. Sark's offense appears to be catered towards maximizing top-end talent. The problem is, this is predicated on the presence of elite talent to begin with. He's not a chicken salad out of chickenshit kind of guy. Good news is, he appears to be fixing the talent problem. I'm not completely sold on Sark as the guy to finally get things done in the W-L column; but I'm so tired of the endless cycle of coaching changes, combined with 13 years of shit on-field production causing me to reassess priorities in my life, that I'm good with him getting several more years at this point. There's no sure thing hire out there, and at the very least, I feel like Sark will leave the roster in better condition than he found it. Whether he's leaving 10-15 years from now with a statue, or a few years from now for too many 5 loss seasons.
  25. Doesnt matter either way. I remember thinking the Texas heat was gonna help us against Ohio State in 06. I quit caring about weather one way or another after that game.
