Does anyone know what the fuck is going on with Neto?
My speculation is that if whatever is going on was on Neto the coaches would have leaked by now to make him look bad and take the heat of themselves. I think Neto may have told Flood he is not a robot and that made Flood get his panties in a wad. So to summarize I have no fucking clue.

The wife went bonkers buying merch, as much for loving the school school colors as she does the actual school. She wondered why I didn't buy shirts & hats. It is because I actually have pride in the universities I attended (and I have some dignity)....and the differece I paid to that school compared to UT is well into the 6-figures.
My kids purchased shirts for their schools for me and then asked why I would not wear them and I told them because I have my own school shirts. Eventually I broke down and had Dad embroidered beneath the logo on the shirts and wore them when I visited them at their schools.

Interesting chart. I’d like to see the average yards to target in each game to see if there is correlation. we know there was between the UF and OU games, I haven’t seen one for the UK game but it certainly felt like the targets were further downfield.
At least he is consistent from week to week.

Locally we saw Tom Herman on offense and Charlie Strong defense fail to property delegate their biggest strengths while focusing on building a program. Nationally we saw Jimbo fisher do the same and get fired at a&m after letting his ego ruin the entire program before the halfway point of his 10 year mega deal. We could spend hours finding examples of coaches failing to properly entrust their side of the ball with high level assistants.
What are you talking about? Tom gave his OC responsibilities to an incompetent Tim Beck and then took it over toward the end. Charlie gave his to a truly lacking Vance Bedford and also before getting fired took it over. All of us were begging that they take over play calling over their designated coordinators and it is not what led to their downfall. By the time they took it over they were done.
Ban OP for a week and delete thread for him not properly remembering what happened.

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.

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.

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. -

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? -

So if Mike Locksley gets fired at Maryland, would it be a good idea for Sark to hire him as an OA since Sark refuses to get an OC? At one point, he was the Broyles Award winner as an OC for Saban and knows what it takes to be an OC in the SEC. It doesn't fix Sark's issue of seeing himself as the best OC option at Texas when the numbers don't reflect it, but maybe Saban can suggest this guy as someone who won't be a yes-man and Sark will actually take the advice.
