    Completely predictable. OU lost it, Texas didn’t win. Lehman gives a brief hat tip to Arch, but 99% excuses.

    Did you listen they say Arch beat the defense with 5 to 6 great plays by him. They also say that Texas has a better football program with better players and better coaches. Like us they start rattling of mistakes they made but unlike aggy that takes a beat down a says they were one play away from winning they go into being critical of what they are doing wrong.

  2. I'm going to assume our OL looks like dogshit against OU, just like we did against Florida. But I also know that the OU OL will look nothing like Florida's OL and will look more like ours. Therefore, we have two dogshit OLs going against pretty stout defenses. The game will come down to who wants it more and changes in momentum due to mistakes. Both teams have a real chance of taking this game or giving it away. Should be a game that's fun and full of anxiety to watch. But there's no doubt that Fuck OU is in my heart, and I hope we stomp them and obliterate their ass because that always brings joy.

    This isn't mental stuff like the OL, this is unfixable shit that we are just going to have to pray that the ILB can bridge while we give up a soft middle. It would have been so much worse had our linebacking corps and secondary not been so fucking good. 

    The OU "In the weeds" guys did some tape breakdown of how teams are scheming three-one sets or motioning TEs to take Anthony Hill out of the box so that they deal with less linebackers and only the IDL guys. By doing so teams are making sure the ILB is the focus of the blocking to make sure he cannot bridge the gap. I need to stop watching these breakdowns because it just makes everything we are seeing in real-time even more frustrating because we are being out coached on top just our play.

    The only way we winning is if we utilize Mannings legs more. If he runs it 10-15 times, we have a shot

    Don't worry we will since with this OL he will be running for his life the entire game.

    All everyone wants to talk about is how shit sucks, no one fucking shows up to any god damned events, no one wants to do shit anymore. Like what the fuck? Have some god damned fun - the fun part of this week is that it's fucking HATE WEEK. 

     
    I got tickets at face value back in 2013 because everyone thought we would lose. Guess what? I had a great time. Right now, SeatGeek is getting close to face value. Those who buy up those tickets will be there to participate, just like in 2013. That year, when I arrived at the fair early, it was full of OU fans, and Texas fans were no-shows, but by game time, Texas fans were being loud. Don't worry, as the game gets closer, everyone will get pumped for this rivalry it is unavoidable. Unfortunately for me, due to personal reasons, I will be at one of the Little Woodrow's in Austin; I don't know which one just yet.

     If he misses a read every now and then, that's on Arch. If he misses it over and over, that's on Sark. 

     
    It's all on Sark. After watching these film studies from different folks, it's clear that the OL isn't physical, not because they lack aggressiveness, but because their shitty technique and footwork don't even allow them to put themselves in position to go one on one with the defender. They're easily moved aside because they're already falling down without being touched after their first step. Sark should know what he's seeing and not put up with it.
     
    As far as Arch is concerned, I agree that if Arch doesn't know what to look for pre-snap after being in Sark's system for two years, it's on the people teaching him what he should be doing. Sark should know where Arch is going to look before he calls the play, based on what the defense is doing. The OL is out of sync, and Sark is not in sync with his QB. He probably knows what Arch should look at, but has he asked Arch what he's going to look for in situations X, Y, and Z or does Sark just assume Arch will do what he expects?

    Who was the last good OL coach we had? McWhorter until he quiet quit after 05? I think it was Jimmy Johnson who said OL coach is the most important person on a staff, and it's been a steaming pile of shit for 2 decades now

    Since Sark has been here its been a problem. I will be honest for a minute here. I've been talking shit on this thread to a few people who were very loud last year. However, the reality is that we've sucked in the interior in the Sark era. Bijan and Rojo made their own yards. Brooks was good at that too. In pass pro the LG has been an issue for a long time too. Last year whenever we played quality fronts we couldn't get a push at all. Even Arizona St was stoning us up front, and blowing up our OZ with penetration. I'm beyond baffled because it's carried over so many different dudes. It simply hasn't mattered who we've put there the problems have persisted. 

    Well there is only one constant and it is Flood. Gerry talks about him at Alabama as a way to excuse Flood but I don't think he either recruited or had a final say on who got recruited to play OL at Alabama. These are his guys and his pupils and they suck. Finally Coach Shipley put Gerry in his place by saying the OL is all Flood's fault because he is either not teaching them to deal with the stunts they are seeing or his recruiting guys that can do what he wants them to do.

  9. So much for hope then again wasn't Greg Robinson hired as an analyst before Manny was fired. Hopefully we see a quick improvement like we saw then not that Flood is fired but maybe the new guy is given more of a chance to make a difference after what we saw in Florida.

    .... QB overshadows it all, he is still not getting the heat he deserves. He may be a good kid but he needs to man up, he is letting his team down.

    Tell me you did not watch the game without telling me you did not watch the game.

    Sark tried to fill in the gaps with the portal. He brought in a punter, a place kicker, a tightend and a backup QB with game experience - in case Arch missed a couple of games. He tried to cover all his bases, and get this team to the NC game. There was no way for Sark to know Manning was a head case and would wilt under the pressure like a little girl. I think the whole team would be playing better, incuding the OL, if they had not lost confidence in their QB.

    So OL is a sieve and now they have lost confidence in their QB because he does not run away from free incoming pressure 100% of the time.

    I don't have the budget to cover the tab at the pool, we can still show up at the bar if y'all want. Let me know what we want to do. 

    If we spend anywhere close to 750 they will open the pool for us anyway, I just won't be fronting the tab this year after this weekend...sorry

    No need to be sorry, it would not surprise me if you are way more resilient than most on this board after what happened this last weekend.
