  1. Yeah, you'll be lurking all week. Listen up. I think your season is about to end with a two-game losing streak. Your defense is ass. We're unbeaten at home. Etc. But no matter what happens next week, you are not a football power and you never were. The last time you put two good seasons in a row together was when you were cheating worse than SMU. You are not a big deal. You are Texas Tech with a god complex. And you're a bunch of weirdos who consistently embarrass yourselves and the rest of this state. Everyone laughs at you behind your back. Everyone. The best aggy joke I ever heard was in NYC. So shut the fuck up, stop pretending your high school pep rallies are cool, get some female cheerleaders, and stop dressing up like the military so you can smack each other's bare asses and it's not really gay. Yes, it is. And you know it. It's cool to be gay now, guys. Just let it out. It doesn't have to be Halloween every day over there anymore. Good luck in the game. Even if you win, it doesn't change anything. You are a bigger embarrassment to yourselves than you will ever realize. And no one outside of your little cult actually respects you. Good day.

  2. I have to share with people who will understand how much this means to me, because my folks are dead now and I don't have other family. I first attended Texas as a freshman in 2005, and it was a dream come true. Texas was the only school I applied to, the only school I wanted to go to. Most of college was straight forward for me, I didn't have much trouble passing classes. I originally started in one major which required two foreign language courses, which I decided to knock out in my early days. I have no fucking idea why, but I took Japanese as my foreign language, and it wound up being easily the hardest course I took. I barely passed JPN 1 and JPN 2 with Cs, my worst grades. Everything was going fine. Midway through college, I switched majors. This set me back, and I required a victory lap to complete my major requirements. I was sitting at 166 hours at this point, and thought I was ready to graduate that december, when I found out the major I switched to had a different foreign language requirement. Rather than 2 semesters of a foreign language, it required 3. At this point, I hadn't taken any japanese courses in 4 years, so I had completely forgotten everything. I essentially could not pass JPN3 if I tried, so I spoke with my councilor. She suggested I take JPN 1, 2, and 3 rapid fire at a community college. I could take JPN 1 during the next semester, then take JPN 2 and 3 during the minimester over the summer. Fair enough, not a big problem. I decided to enroll at HCC to take them while I worked an internship trying to pay off my student debt. Turns out HCC had a professor which made JPN a blow-off course. She didn't really teach. If you showed up, you got an A no matter what. I was elated, it meant my degree was basically on autopilot. Breezed through JPN1 and took JPN2 the first minimester of summer. However, after that minimester, she retired without giving us warning. A new professor came in, and she taught JPN like it was a real course. The two extra JPN refresher courses I took were worthless, I was going to have to start all over again, and I pretty much had no money. I reached out to my councilor at Texas, knowing they can pull strings and essentially do whatever they want. I figured she would help me out, but nope. She told me I was shit out of luck, basically, and that my degree would be waiting for me when I eventually passed JPN3. I was crushed. At this point, I couldn't afford more classes and decided to just work. My internship turned into a job and I figured I was set. For a couple of years, it was ok. However, my job suddenly dried up, and I had to look for a job for the first time. Now, I was not afraid to work on my own as I had confidence I could land a job with my skills and interviews. I was so naive. Were I ever able to actually get a sit down interview, I could have probably swayed someone, but I didn't realize how middlemen hiring agencies will basically gate-wall you off from an interview without your degree. What followed was 12 years of miserable work and feeling completely worthless. My degree at Texas felt like it kept slipping farther and farther away. I felt like I had blown my one and only chance, and with the way the world is turning being without a degree would be a lifelong handicap. I can't express the personal disappointment I felt in myself. I would have reoccurring nightmares, like every few days without fail. It was always the same theme, I'm at school and I've forgotten a class and it's test day and yadda yadda. I know everyone knows the dreams I'm talking about. But they were relentless and so frequent. My nightmares would sour my mood first thing in the morning and depress me. Two things would always happen in the dream: it would be late at night, with the city abandoned. I would be walking in a dreary depressed austin alone, desperately trying to enter the building to take my last exam. The building would always be closed and locked. I would pull on the door as hard as I could and it would never open. I would sometimes wake up crying from this dream. About a year ago my mom died and it took it poorly. I started seeing a therapist to help me with my extreme depression, and through therapy she explored other aspects of my life. This eventually came up. She encouraged me to reach out to the University and see what I could do about returning as a student. She told me to at least try, even if I couldn't afford it. So I did, I looked up the faculty of my old college and emailed the person I figured was right and told them my sob story. I got radio silence for a few weeks before someone finally emailed me back. They told me I was being assigned a special councilor for my case, essentially an advocate. She was going to help me find a way to get my degree. That all started in January, and we've been back and forth pretty much the whole year. Eventually we arrived at a compromise: I could take a cultural studies in japanese course at any school, even online schools, and it would satisfy my degree requirement with a waiver. Well, as it turns out, I took a blow off art appreciation course on Post-War japan during my time in college. I submitted it in October at the deadline for graduation applications to see if they would accept it. As soon as I submitted it, my status changed to conditional graduation. And thus I've been waiting on pins and needles ever since. It changed a few days ago. My application for graduation has been approved. I graduate in 2 weeks. Not next saturday, but the saturday after. The relief, the weight off my shoulders has been enormous. Immediately the nightmares vanished, I haven't had that reoccurring dream since. Last night, I had a dream about school again for the first time since having my application approved. This time it wasn't a dark depressing night, nor was I trying to get into a locked door. I was on the field at DKR. It was a bright and sunny day. We were waiting for commencement to begin. I was surrounded by people 20 years my prior but I didn't care. I was talking to some young woman next to me and I was telling her that I was graduating at 40. I was beaming with pride. I woke up in one of the best moods I've had in ages. Sometimes, it'll hit me, and tears will fall. The years spent lacking and wanting my degree have made me appreciate it so much more than I would have back then. They will let me walk in May. I dreamed of this for so long. I updated my resume a few days ago, and added that I graduated in 2025. Changing my credentials on sites like zip recruiter and indeed to reflect this. Immediately the sorts of job listings I was seeing changed, I'm able to apply now to jobs which I couldn't before. It's a literal dream come true. I love my university so much, and that's why this last 20 years has been so hard. It was a juxtaposition of having honest pride in my school, while acknowledging I had failed in my one goal. I could never tell my friends or family that I hadn't graduated, they all just assumed I had. It was a constant lie I had to tell everyone and myself. Not anymore. That I never had to take another class, that my original body of work from when I attended Texas was actually enough to get me over the goal line... it makes it so much sweeter. I don't look at my past as wasted time, upset at what could have been, but rather I'm looking forward. For the first time since... I can't even remember when, I am honestly more excited for tomorrow than the day before. I can wear my Texas cap again with pride. I'm so fucking happy. I wish I could bottle this stuff up and share it with everyone. This is the good stuff.

  3. We are tired of cherry-picked All 22 videos where there is some agenda being pushed. So I thought, let's do our own Surly style, where we can say "what is motherfuckin Sark doing" without having to walk about some critiques the very next week or lose program access. No, we are going to look at every play vs Georgia. As such, we cannot do it all at one time. You don't have time to watch it and I don't have time to do it. Instead, we are going to do it one or two series at a time. So make sure to revisit this thread when it gets bumped. If there is decent interest we will keep it rolling with other games to keep us properly hydrated through the offseason. Sark has a Georgia problem. Yeah I know, captain obvious. For those that were around for the Mack Brown years, this is going to feel oddly familiar. So give your therapist notice that you will need the couch this week because the early 2000's OU memories are about to come back to you. The first thing you will notice is us not understanding Georgia's aggressive nature both in playcalling and physicality. I'm not sure what's behind it because Georgia isn't like that every week, especially if there is a cursive A on the side of their opponent's helmet. It's like Sark got drunk and had sex with Kirby's wife wearing one of his visors and doesn't remember it. Anyway, whatever the reason, like Mack, Sark doesn't seem to understand that Kirby wants to take his head off. You don't make comments like that after the game about someone you like. Kirby is really pissed about that 41 Sark put on him at Alabama. You wanna know how dedicated Kirby is about beating you Sark? He brought Florida's coach in the week before he played you. Let's get into it! 1) 1st and 10. We are going to call this play "Fucking Wingo". Wingo seems to come up small when we play our best opponents. We run the same wr screen we did the two weeks prior. 11 personnel. Sark motions Endries across the formation to the field side. Georgia, always aggressive, brings a 5 man rush. Somehow, in an effort to turn the play back inside, two Georgia players allow Endries to block both of them. If Wingo hits this crease I am not sure how the lone safety will catch him. Wingo trips over the turf and falls. 1.mp4 2) 2nd and 9. After Wingo stumbled for a 1 yard gain we are in 22 personnel with a bunch formation to the field. Endries is on the right side of the line. We motion Moore to the backfield, a wrinkle Sark has used a couple times this season. Georgia brings six and we fire Endries up the seam and two Georgia DBs go with him leaving nobody to cover Moore releasing out of the backfield on a rail route. 2.mp4 3) 1st and 10. 11 personnel in a 2x2 set. Georgia responds with a legit 3-3-5. If I were Sark I would definitely commit this to memory. Will Georgia's response to 2x2 4 wide receivers be a 3 man front? If so call it again so we can crease them. We run split zone, which is basically just inside zone with a Hback coming across the formation to kick out the backside DE for a cutback lane. Endries comes across the formation to kick out the DE but since it's a 3 man front no one is there and he has to look for work. A thing of note before we get to the beautiful thing that is Tre Wisner's feet. Pay attention to 54 here. His job is to fire off the ball and help the center before moving to the second level to get hands on a LB. At the snap the 0 tech DT moves away from him, but 54 mindlessly hits him anyway. What are you doing? Use your head. Use that time to get to the second level. Don't just run a rep for the sake of running a rep. Be flexible. If you see your help isn't needed those milliseconds are the difference between a good block and someone slipping you and getting to the dude you are trying to protect. All 22 really gives you and appreciation for number 5. He knows where he wants to go, but he presses the C gap to sell it to the defense. When people use the phrase "he set up his blocking" there should be a gif of this play next to it. 3 blockers that were losing battles now are able to form a wall once he cuts it back. His feet in the hole are amazing too, shaking the shit out of number 6, in the hole. It's embarrassing to get shook like that much less in a phone booth. For you Millennials and Gen-Zers, a phone both is a 3x3 box with a sliding door that you used to find on the street to get you out of the elements while you talked on what was called a land line. Anywho, Tre Wisner is elite in this area and seeing this it makes total sense why he murders talented but undisciplined fronts like OU and Aggy. Watch from the tight. 3.mp4 4) 4th plat of the drive. 1st and 10. We are in 11 personnel, 2x2 stacks. I don't like us in bunch because the routes take longer to develop. Most of the routes have to be deep or out breaking. It's hard to tell what Georgia is in. Looks like zone except for man on Moore. He had Wingo on the crosser had he gone through his progressions, but I don't fault him here it's Georgia. You aren't think you have that kind of time in the pocket. At any rate, we pick up a nice 4 yards on an Endries hitch to the Boundary. 4.mp4 5) 2nd and 6. 11 personnel. We line Endries up at H back and run H-back Power. Georgia plays a multitude of fronts. Seems like whenever their DTs are playing 2-tech(straight up over the guards), they are playing 2 gap, read and react. A lot less aggressive. Seems like that's something we can take advantage of when we see it. Anyway, Endries fires up the B-gap and picks and a LB. Wisner sees the DT peeking plus the other LB falling into the B-gap and hops over into the A gap for a quick 3 yard pickup. 5.mp4 6) 3rd and 3. We come right back to the same play except this time Georgia is in this front, which means pure single gap disruption. From the tight you can see at the snap of the ball the 1-tech NT jumps from the boundary side A-gap two gaps over to the field side B-gap. Now I don't know what they are taught but 54 just lets him cross his face and works to the second level. Now he is Endries responsibility and he is not up to the task. 2 yard gain. 6.mp4 7) 4th and 1 and we are going for it. We are in 21 personnel with both Baxter and Wisner in the backfield. Sark brings Wingo on a jet sweep motion and that holds the edge defender just enough that they hesitate to crash down inside on the Baxter run. Gooseby helps Hutson before climbing to the second level. Baxter is working off whichever way Endries is blocking his man. Good short yardage play by Sark. 7.mp4 8 ) 1st and 10 and we are in 12 personnel. This is the kind of play that pisses you off from an execution standpoint. This was the same shit as last year. Getting beat to spots. Inability to adapt to changing conditions. This is going to hurt your eyes so be prepared. At the snap Georgia's D-line jumps over a gap to their left. Our center basically falls on his face. DJ goes to the second level and blocks no one. Baker blocks no one and then while turning around to see what happened, falls over our center. Endries job is to come across the formation and kick out the DE because it's split zone. However, don't run past the completely free DT to get to your man that, by the time you get there, is already cutting back inside tracking the ball. Gotta be able to adapt. We haven't had an answer for this for two years. Luckily we have Wisner, who jukes the shit out of the dude two feet from him as he touches the ball and squirts through for 5 tough yards. 8.mp4 9) 2nd and six. 12 personnel. Good playcall by Sark. Sark sends the TE in motion and we show screen. This pulls 4 Georgia secondary members out of pursuit of the actual play which is Outsize Zone. From the tight you can see Georgia lines their DTs up at 2-tech again, and just like before they are in two gap read and react mode. Sark, what formation or down is causing them to line up like this? Because if we can trigger it we can run on them. Georgia is far more difficult when they are attacking. 9.mp4 10) 1st and 10 and of course we false start. 10.mp4 11) 1st and 15. This is a testament to Arch's growth. We have the same ole fake screen and go called to the field which Georgia doesn't bite on but Arch calmly turns and hits his checkdown for a quick 7. Old Arch would hold this ball to see if some of the longer routes were going to develop. Take what you can get. 11.mp4 12) 2nd and 7. 11 personnel and a bunch formation. This is a shit ass play that shows Sark doesn't understand Georgia. You are going to try and run a slow developing QB power on Georgia close to the GL? It goes how you would expect. By the time Arch pulls it there are 3 defenders in the backfield. Just a dumbass play call under the circumstances. 12.mp4 13) 3rd and 8. 11 personnel and bunch formation to the field. We motion Tre to check for man or zone. We run mesh with the TE and Wingo springing him for what would be a 1st down catch but Wingo drops it. 13.mp4 So first series recap- 13 plays. QB taking what was available. We target Wingo twice and he falters both times. We false start. Overall confusion and lack of execution on the offensive line. On to the next series.

  7. The Man responds. When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

  8. No you fucking idiot. That's a bitch move. The guys most likely get to go to Orlando and get bowl swag. Young players get a chance to get some playing time if others opt out. I'll be disappointed if we don't get into the playoff but I'm for damn sure watching the bowl game. Sure, there will be opt outs but you get one final chance to see your team play before 9 months of nothing.

  13. Akina has been gone. Players hated Scott, Wisner may come back now, no guarantee but he was definitely gone if Scott stayed. Will be a bunch more coaches gone in the next couple days on both sides of the ball. Akina is guaranteed gone. I believe Jackson is technically not under contract after the bowl game and won’t be renewed. They wanted a soft landing spot for Flood but that’s gonna be the one to watch honestly. Jabbar Juluke is the strong favorite to replace Scott, will be interesting to see Plonsky watch him pimp slap someone on the field and give him the go ahead but here we are. Zero idea if he is bringing his RB with him but we feel very good about bringing in another SEC back through the portal… I can guarantee that our RB next year will be a DUDE and behind a completely rebuilt interior OL
