  1. Sometimes I feel like I dont even know the value of a dollar anymore. How can all these programs and donors just light so much money on fire?
  2. I wouldnt worry too much about it, CDC wouldnt be making the call. The money would figure out who they want and CDC would just do the formalities.
  3. Its true he suggested it. I dont know how hard he actually pushed for it. I think he and Franklin are buddies if I remember correctly.
  4. I figured Penn State would just hire the youngest guy they can get away with.
  5. CDC wanted……..James Franklin πŸ˜‚
  6. A ton of money was raised to put pieces around Arch specifically. That was the pitch. It would mean we are doing a reset and a ton went into all of this.
  7. Im really curious where the NIL guys are falling on all of this. It really felt like this year was the start of a really fun run. I'm guessing they arent the type to panic but there's gotta be a little voice starting to pop in their heads.
  8. My jaw would completely hit the floor. The implications for what that would mean are hard to imagine. I think it’s very likely the case Sark and Arch are completely tied at the hip. If it was announced that Sark is sitting Arch, I would almost assume Cooper has told Sark to shelf Arch and that they’re transferring out.
  9. Man this team really feels like it’s teetering on a meltdown. Things go sideways for us here then I think it really gets ugly.
  10. I think the issue is if we go out and hire a playcalling OC, then why is Steve Sarkisian our coach?
  11. Ewers wouldve already been knocked out for the season behind this O line.
  12. Here's what I keep coming back to- EVERYTHING in this program is built upon the idea that Sark is an elite offensive coach, playcaller, and QB coach. The wheels have completely fallen off of his offense. His star QB is a deer in headlights. His game plans are confounding. His clock management is consistently poor. His offensive stats against ranked teams are objectively bad. All of this with a top 3 NIL payroll and consistently high recruiting classes. Meanwhile, PK is putting out an elite product on defense and his side of the ball is clearly the thing thats keeping our heads barely above water. The stark difference is a very tough look for Sark. It feels like we are starting to enter the territory where we are forced to ask the question- What is the overall value that Sark brings to the program?
  13. I have a hard time believing Sark could get a HC job in the NFL. His body of work as an OC in Atlanta was not good. Now the wheels are coming off of his program at a spot where he has every imaginable advantage. His body language is very strange right now. Im afraid things are about to spill over for him.
  14. I dont think he ever sees it pre snap. He might see it half the time post snap. Even when he does see it, he usually sees it too late. And even when he does see it, he misses way too often. Asswater.
  15. I dont think I can remember a better walk off INT than that one.
  16. What on earth just happened
  17. Surely the coaches are still feeling the aftershock from the UF loss. It's hard for me to imagine the staff isn't locked in. The question for me is can they take the OU offensive adjustments and travel with them? Can the defense impose its will on a significantly outgunned SEC road opponent? Can we play a clean game on special teams? Can Arch keep building one brick at a time? Can Wisner give us enough juice in the running game to keep the chains moving? I don't feel confident answering any of those questions yet. This feels like a major check up game for us. I loved seeing us play up to our potential against OU, I still cant believe what I saw against UF. I don't know what we have with this team. My best guess is we take care of business but some of our warts resurface and we will be asking many of these same questions for the Miss St game. 24-13 Texas.
  18. I was super confident we got Florida at a horrible time for them last season. It takes a lot out of a team to get on a plane and go into a different time zone. If you add that up with other timing considerations, I believe it can be a real factor. I loved USC over Michigan last weekend. Put them in a bowl game at a neutral site and I think its totally different.
  19. Ahhh indeed. I forget theyre back in the Big 12.
  20. I'm trying to think of a single Big 12 away game better than Lexington. Only thing I have is Arizona/Utah to even compete and of course that never applied to us. Keeneland as a tailgating spot and precursor to the game is so good. I hope as many Texas fans make it out there as possible because they will definitely want to go back. Thats a very elite Saturday.
  21. Yea at some point theres not a lot you can take from it as a fan. You just hope the staff sees the film and says, damn, we have to make some changes. I also suspect Florida has our number as a staff, and they showed sme really good stuff against us on the interior last season. We just blew them off the field on the outsides.
  22. I always wondered about him when he jumped from Waco to DeSoto. Thats a big jump and he was a star for DeSoto. Feels like we used to miss those guys consistently. Now he's a bully in the RRS.
  23. We would have beaten Florida if our o line performance was marginally better. We are good, Florida is not. I dont think our performance there is who we are, but I think what happened is what happened. My guess is Sark took the attitude of we are the thermostat and not the thermometer, and he didnt change anything leading up to the Florida game. We get smoked on the lines, he makes the adjustments, and we play much better against OU. But thats a capitulation of the team identity, we choose what happens.
  24. Dude we got buttfucked in the trenches against Florida. I watched the tape many times. It was so bad I felt like it was at least partially an aberration and that we would rebound, and we did. I picked us to beat OU. But our O Line got destroyed, and our D line got neutralized.
  25. I also think the people on here who have noticed a lack of leadership in the locker room are correct, and I think Baxter is the guy thats missing. If he hadnt been injured and was out doing his thing, I think the offense as a whole would be more cohesive not just from his production but from his attitude and presence in the huddle and on the field. Him on the sidelines is a major loss for Sark.
