  1. Yep
  2. Dabo is Mack Brown without a Bobby Bowden/Bob Stoops in his division. He's an elite recruiter. He's a good college coach because of his recruiting, but no where near elite at the actual coaching part.
  3. Yes, but aside from doing, or making spurious claims about...everything on that list, what has the current GQP done to indicate that they are a fascist movement intent on destroying democracy? It's only a building movement and we obviously can't take it seriously until it has fully taken over and has majority support.
  4. For fuck's sake...Mack quit years before he was fired, he just didn't bother to turn over the title or keys for the office. If he'd had the decency and grace to bow out when he was mentally done like Stoops did, we'd be a totally different program. Mack started much of the rot and let it fester for years. He kind of gave a shit last year and wanted to prove those meanies at Texas wrong, but he's regressed to his not give a fuck again at 6-5 this year.
  5. A major part of his job is scouting opponents, identifying weaknesses and exploiting them. Sark is actually really good at that, as evidence by his hot starts, but he did a shit job assessing the team he was about to take over. Some of it is egregious. Our OL has been shit for more than a decade. It's kind of hard to miss. Sark has an excellent reputation as an offensive mind. He is one of the best. He has a mediocre reputation as a HC with one rebuild and one major flame out. He had PT to sell to transfers last year and a much hotter hand. All that is in the past though, he now has to sell having a team quit on him and lose 6 (likely 7 straight) instead of coming off a NC and Heisman with 2 finalists. It's blatantly obvious this is a much tougher sell now. I hope he's successful.
  6. Unfortunately, I think LAST offseason is the one that determines whether Sark will be successful here. Last offseason, he was hot shit. Sark had his redemption story and was fresh off a National Championship, plus a Heisman winner with 2 of the 4 finalists. He needed to strike while his iron was hot, properly assess his team and aggressively make moves last offseason to immediately improve his roster. He didn't. This offseason, he's the coach of a team that quit on him, lost 6 (likely 7) games in a row and lost to Kansas. He's now obviously on the hot seat for the next 2-ish years. I hope he turns it around, but he's made that a shitload harder.
  7. Third world dictatorship bullshit. That should have no place in the United States. The cops will probably get a commendation.
  8. Sucks as a Texas fan to say this, but Joe C is a great fucking AD, likely the best. If Riley leaves, he'll get the next hire right. It'll be Aranda, or possibly Traylor, since OU isn't at all afraid to roll the dice. Either dude would be set up properly and kill it there. Traylor would be a nightmare from a recruiting standpoint.
  9. The best electric heater to get is one of the oil filled radiant models. Once fully hot, you can unplug it and run something else for a while and it will still release heat from the hot oil.
  10. Thatguy is having an argument with a straw man he has erected. I never said PK should, or would completely change schemes. PK is paid a lot of money to figure out what changes he needed to make so his defense didn't give up half a hundred to Kansas.
  11. Kansas was averaging 15 points a game, they just hung 1/2 a hundred on us and the recruits he needs to improve were laughing at him in the stands. He might want to learn some fucking Chinese.
  12. Then maybe PK should have wanted to do something else that better fits his roster, because his rigidness means he's about to be doing something else aside from being DC at Texas.
  13. Kevin Eltife. Can't be fired, Gov/BOR would have to remove him. He shouldn't. Greg Abbott. Nothing, if we let the BMD make the decision again.
  14. While I wish CDC didn't spend his time giving parking advice over Twitter, he has crushed his new coaching hires and the overall athletic program is miles over the Dodds/Plonsky administration. The problem at Texas is the same as always, BMD that think success in business, law, etc makes them competent to make all the big decisions for Texas Football.
  15. You are correct, but that is also exactly the thing that happened to Sark tonight. He's a dead man walking and our recruiting, along with the ability to attract transfers and top coaching talent just evaporated.
  16. There WAS a chance, it was last offseason. Sark needed to identify the gaping holes on his team and use the portal and transfers to address them. He needed to tweak his schemes on offense to account for the holes and make sure his DC was flexible in doing the same. It's too late now. College sports are all about momentum, both games and recruiting. Losing 5 straight, including to Kansas slams that door shut. What recruits, or transfers are going to want to come to a team that can't fucking beat Kansas at home? What coaches are going to want to join an obviously sinking ship? We won't fire him until at least next year, but he's already dead and we'll fall even further behind waiting for the optics to improve.
  17. You don't recover from losing to Kansas. Waiting 2+ more years to fire him only lets the corpse rot further.
  18. This is fucking bullshit. I got vaccinated and my 5G coverage didn't get any better. I tried this to detox the vaxx and my 5G coverage didn't get any worse. I'm starting to think the vaccine doesn't have any effect on 5G coverage.
  19. Fuck this simulation.
  20. It's amazing that we have so many ignorant motherfuckers proudly spouting Texags stupidity without a scintilla of introspection. Spoiler alert: If you find yourself in complete agreement with those mouth breathers over anything, you should immediately examine where you fucked up in your thought process.
  21. We all agree that it's necessary. We just don't have any fucking clue what it's doing, or what the schedule is, or why they won't finally sack up and arrest the seditious pieces of shit that are defying their subpoenas. This committee is essential. They are one of the last bastions of the Republic left, standing between us and a cult of fascist morons.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    The key difference here being you don't have access to replay and these officials do. Blowing it dead here is the wrong call, because it stops the play no matter what. When it is this close, they should let it play out and get it called correctly in the booth.
  23. True, but we make up for that by also not having safeties.
  24. Troll gonna troll. Same as he always has under previous usernames. Same as he will under future ones after this one is banned.
  25. Asking the supposed strength of the defense (DL) to eat blocks and funnel the playmaking to the weak links of the defense (LB and Safeties) has been a recipe for disaster and we've cooked several batches already this season. Nothing fucks up a college offense like a DL that can penetrate and disrupt.
