  1. I guess I can see if he wants to take a year off he might come here as an analyst but why would he come here in any other capacity?
  2. So you mean my far fetched dream of our donors installing him as OC is dead?
  3. So we would play Michigan assuming they lose to Ohio state?
  4. The Texas administration and donors have been very patient with Sark more than once. I have no clue about the rumor that he was MIA after the Ohio state loss through our first junior day. I had never heard that and I’m surprised I hadn’t Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an organized effort to sweep it under the rug. If I had committed serious dollars to NIL and I thought it was just a slip up I’d prefer to just keep it quiet and protect my investment.
  5. Ags are losing their next two games.
  6. Maybe Kiffin announces he’s going to LSU after the egg bowl, LSU comes out playing with excitement, injure mateer, and pull off the upset.
  7. I don’t know what to tell you besides I completely disagree. 10-2 Texas with our exact same results but a win over rice instead of a loss to Ohio state would be in.
  8. We would be in. We would just be an 11 seed or something. 10-2 Texas with three top 10 wins and Arch playing like this isn’t getting left out.
  9. 1- Just because we haven’t played well enough to be guaranteed a spot doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go to the playoffs at all. 2- If we beat A&M and miss the playoff, we will definitely be getting punished for the Ohio State loss. A 10-2 Texas with three top ten wins absolutely gets in. 3- Just because we aren’t good enough to win it all doesn’t mean the playoffs don’t matter. It’s still a big deal to play in a marquee game and be able to tell recruits and portal players we make the playoffs even in our down years.
  10. Arch made that catch without receivers gloves too. Athlete.
  11. That’s the one. No big deal he didn’t really pan out anyways right? Jesus cristos.
  12. Looks like we are in a good old fashioned QB shootout. FGs count as stops.
  13. Having to hear boomer sooner over and over again is a perfect way to prime the anger levels before the game starts.
  14. I wasn't ready earlier in the week to make a prediction and Im still not. Just dont have a feel for this one at all. Which I suppose means I'm concerned.
  15. Nope. One of the times was in the middle of a tarrytown restuarant. Cant remember which one. A ton of people saw them. Its not a rumor at all, I'd bet my whole net worth it happened. I also know and have spoken on the topic many times with the guy who was pretty much Herman's toady in the facility. This is the guy who would "make his gatorades" (with vodka). He also ran at least one uber account for Herman and said Herman was going downtown regularly and leaving with women. I asked about Mrs. Herman and the guy said hes not sure of the dynamics but that she definitely knew about some of it and even bought Herman a prosty for his b day or their anniversary or something. You could make an incredible HBO show based on Hermans time at Texas. Guy was an animal. He went bonkers from Day 1. Cant remember which recruit it was but Herman showed up to their in home visit shitfaced. Just zero fucks given.
  16. 1.- I never heard we were hiring UM. I heard we had put a big offer together for him and he was interested to the point of attending a meeting where he asked for some concessions we werent willing to give. Basically he wanted the fball program broken off from the rest of the athletic department and he wanted there to be a "football director" of sorts, and he wanted to have a hand in hiring that person. Even after we said no to that he was still considering it before saying not thanks. 2.- The Kendra Scott stuff wasn't a rumor and this is a really bad example for the point you were trying to make. They were making out with each other in public. I dont actually know if they banged but to insinuate the whole thing was BMD gossip is laughable. Herman and KS did very little to even hide it. Was very brazen. Herman was a WILD dude.
  17. What is it gonna take for Kirk Bohls to get ushered to the back of the shed to be put down? He is such a piece of shit. Who values his opinion on anything?
  18. Fuck no. We might miss the playoffs but if we can beat OU, A&M, and Arkansas then we will at least have that. Then we can crown that even when we massively screw up we still beat those fuckheads
  19. I don’t agree with this sentiment in this instance, but I think you’re correct about the nature of fan bases in general. Sark was plenty popular heading into this season. The hype was through the roof and a lot of that was coming from him. Maybe he had some bad evals at receiver or got unlucky with other targets in the portal, maybe his db hire didn’t pan out, maybe Arch got the yips. Whatever. For your OL to suck this bad at this stage of his tenure is completely unacceptable and raises major red flags that can’t be ignored. It cost us huge. The only explanation I can think of is he didn’t have his eye on the ball and didn’t understand his own team well enough to hit the portal. I think he was dealing with personal issues. I want the best for the guy but this was a massive fuck up and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with crying foul.
  20. I dont really care who is responsible for his personal issues, we are all adults and we make our decisions. What I do care about is if the consequences of those decisions have such a negative impact on your job performance that your results fall well below reasonable expectations. I expect a competent O Line. I expect the team to be better disciplined than 135th of 136 in penalties. I expect the run game to be better than dead last in the conference. He has at minimum a top 5 NIL payroll and he's around the 5th highest paid coach in college football. He's received everything he needs to meet reasonable expectations, yet this season has been a failure. That isn't gossip mongering tmz talk. That is he wasted an entire season and its not hard to connect the dots that his personal life is part of the reason why. Im a pretty easy going guy, but when you let an easily avoidable grenade go off inside a gargantuan organization, I no longer trust you to fulfill the expectations of the job and I'd like to move forward with someone else.
  21. One of the bad rumors is absolutely true. I dont know any of the details around it so I dont know how much at fault Sark is or not. I do know it affected the locker room because the locker room was involved. Its unfortunate and now our season is bricked whether we sneak into the playoffs by some miracle or not, because we arent winning anything of consequence with this O line. Its frustrating on the level of I was extremely happy with our trajectory under Sark to I would prefer to see him leave in just a matter of months.
  22. It just seems to me that getting all of our horses pulling in the same direction is and was so hard that the guys with the time, sweat, and big money contributed would be aggressive in protecting all that investment. If even 25% of these rumors are true then its impossible not to link this failed season with Sark's off the field bullshit. If it were me, I would feel betrayed by Sark after we gave him the keys to the kingdom despite has major shithead past. Even after hiring him he's received a lot of patience and goodwill from the donors and administration. A bad DB coach hire is one thing and that stuff is gonna happen, but the O Line situation is just beyond unacceptable. Thats just negligence and hes being paid way too much and being thrown too much support to have such a fundamental failure inside the roster. Sark should be coming to our guys with hat in hand after this season and I just dont see that happening with the guy. He deserves to have his wings clipped in the form of losing playcalling duties but I just dont think he will play ball with that idea.
