There is a “salary cap” going in for 2026. 20.5 million.

 

For direct payments from the institution.

NIL? Saddle up.

yes, for those that follow it.  ain't nobody in the SEC got time to read/follow "rules"

The SEC Bagmen will be back in business!

Texas will follow the rules and won't have any Bagmen, so Texas will go back to sucking and fans/sports-media will all wonder, "Why is Texas bad again?" -- AS IF the SEC Bagmen don't exist. FFS

That depends. Do you enjoy changing baby diapers, washing your eyes out with bleach, gargling with antifreeze, taking a razor blade to the space between your toes?  If you answered yes to any of those, then certainly, by all means, go back and read it all.

Got home a bit ago. After making a pit stop in east atx to see my sister. Checking in from behind the band. Even when arky made it close I never felt for a second we wouldn’t dog walk em. And we did. Play like that next week and Tighten up a bit on defense and we’ll take down aggy. But I want Sark to succeed for UT. But if he’s not it I swear to god actually go big fish hunting. On to hate aggy week.

The NIL is so supposed to be enforced more strongly where a donor has to actually use the athletes name, image, likeness for a business reason instead of handing out cash for no show. We will see what happens, but if you follow the rules, money will be a lot less.

Did you ever say so in writing? If so, do you have stock market insights?

There were plenty of us, mostly in the Quinn thread, saying Arch wasn't ready (to replace Quinn) last year and probably wouldn't be ready from the jump this year -- crazy game-hen shit like throwing into triple coverage doesn't just disappear overnight. But the "he'll have his struggles" narrative got lost in all the hype.

There's only one number to remember and THAT'S 4.

Or for half the season he couldn’t count on his QB to hit a basic slant pass….  That kinda affects play calling and the offense as a whole.  Whatever was going on in Arch’s head seems to be fixed but let’s not act like it didn’t happen now.  

Gee. Imagine if the coach had actually been around to design a scheme around the QB's strengths and weaknesses, had run a scrimmage to identify issues to correct, and had basically done anything to coach up his young talented QB before and during the season. 

I wonder how our QB would have looked if any of that had happened.

Seems a strange thing to abandon Sark over.

Did you want more deep shots?  Go for it?  

No it’s a culmination of things, that was just the last straw. He speaks constantly about paying attention to details. I don’t think he’s capable of beating good coaches year in and year out. NIL gives a few programs a chance to be good every year even with a bad coach.  Talent evaluation is another big one I think he just flat misses on, if it’s his assistants letting him down then that’s still his fault. The portal has been embarrassing. The penalties is pretty stupid too. Take it all together and we have a 50/50 shot to be great or shitty basically every game lol. Just my opinion.

All of that happened.

that was the last straw? we were getting the ball back after half.  get the points and then go score a TD, which we did and slammed the door.

You were confident we would score coming out of the half? We must not watch the same team. That’s fine though, against Arkansas we take the safe play. How about when we need to execute the gamble against say Georgia? Why be a pussy against a team you should clearly dominate? When the fuck do you teach your team to just take the game over?

Complaining about taking the points after everyone here screamed at Sark for four seasons for not taking the points sure is a take. We won the middle eight minutes 10-0 so I’m not sure why that decision was the final straw for you. 

Sark doesn’t need to listen to us to be successful lol. We are better than Arkansas, we should take a gift they gave us with a minute left and absolutely punish their asses. FG is great when you’re not trying to prove anything. I’m willing to bet Ohio state, Georgia, Notre dame, and ole miss go score a TD right there. To each their own tho.

Couldn’t watch the game live yesterday. Had a conflict. Watching it this morning. For the third straight week, Sark has finally started mixing in short routes a few yards off the line of scrimmage, where they run slants against mtm coverage, or plant into an open space against zone coverage. 

Why the hell he didn’t do this before is a mystery. Not only does this move the chains, it opens up intermediate and long passing routes, as well as the run game.

I stopped watching the Georgia game in the second half so I’m not sure what they did against them, but with these adjustments no defense in the country should be able to stop this offense. Too bad they blew the season before figuring it out. 

We tried all that same shit vs Georgia but drops, misses, and penalties killed us. Georgia didn't bust coverages and didn't allow explosives. We aren't consistent enough to march the field on Ga so drives ended with us shooting ourselves in the foot.

But seriously, what you missed is:

We hired a recovering alcoholic to be our head football coach, hoping that he would meet his potential if he stayed sober, and knowing the absolute shitshow that would happen if he didn't. 

Sometime before this calendar year, he fell off the wagon, and we have yet to hear the entirety of the shitshow that has followed.

The only reason we have 8 wins and not fewer this year (so far) is because we have high end talent, a pretty great staff of assistant coaches, and a great support staff and athletic department that have tried to keep boat afloat. We have won this year in spite of our talented head coach, not because of him.

What the hell are the strengths when a QB is throwing 7 yard slants at receivers feet or two yards over their head?  I’m pretty sure it wasn’t like that in practice either, he had in game yips basically it seems like.  Was he supposed to just run screens?

Nah, what he missed was people repeating the same bullshit over and over and over again.

And a few memes.

How would you know? It's not like we had a Spring Game or anything where we could check.

If you truly find it hard to believe that our head coach, a notorious recovering alcoholic, might have fallen back into a bottle given what we've seen on the field and heard rumored about off of it (and I can tell you that at least one of those really nasty things is NOT merely a rumor), then man... you're the kind of mark con men dream of coming across.

The flip side of going for it is an INT in the short game or turning over the ball on downs with 30 seconds left, to an offense that had been running through us pretty well to that point.

Also, curiously, we had relatively few penalties yesterday from any of the usual suspects.

Well out with it then.  What is that really nasty thing that's not merely a rumor?

Although it can happen, a guy like Sark that falls off the wagon usually creates a lot bigger and more obvious problems than those of his football team.  I haven't seen anything objective that indicates that Sark is drinking.  Pretty sure we'd know.

Second, given his history, if he'd fallen off the wagon in the off-season, I would expect him to be terminated with cause, success notwithstanding.  Mid-season might be a different story.
