  1. that was not ideal. do not have warm fuzzies.
  2. looks like we are rolling out the OU end of half defense.
  3. a blitz every once in a while would be nice. It's legal.
  4. our pass defense is no bueno.
  5. Jim Nantz making this golfer's day:
  6. most austinites I meet are idiots.
  7. I'm a big fan of Heidi.
  8. I only watch SNL via youtube clips now. I don't think I've seen an unfunny "please don't destroy" clip yet. Those guys are solid.
  9. cool. That's what everyone said last year, when we were the favorite.
  10. When we lost to Udub in the Alamo bowl, I pinned it mostly on Sark, not realized how good they were. They are a legit top 3 team. I think they'd beat us in a similar fashion in a rematch.
  11. There used to be plenty of street/lot parking for softball, but with the new graduate student housing, it is hard to come by.
  12. I think everyone hopes Sark is the guy. He seems like a good dude, has a great comeback story, recruits well, and is a great offensive mind, even if he gets too cute/stubborn at times. The jury is still out as to whether we will likely contend for anything of significance with him or if he's just a 9-3 coach. I personally am still in the doubter camp. That said, barring some collapse or booze/sex scandal, he probably will and should be here a while. I've seen nothing from our athletic department to convince me we could hire anyone better. We suck at hiring football coaches - we're not OU.

    Yes, but Brooks is a very good back, even if he's not these two. There's no personnel reason for us to have one of the worst TD conversion rates in college football. Or are you saying Sark needs a generational back to have a good red zone TD %?

    Why is our red zone offense so bad this year? It was OK last year, and great in 21. One theory I have is that Sark really seems to love setting up the run with the pass this year. I've noticed this opening up games and at times during the games. In the red zone, when things get compressed, this is hard to do, so our run and pass game get bogged down. I really have no idea though. It's mind bottling. He's been asked about this multiple times in PCs and he blows off the question. I'm not sure he really has the answer.
  15. It means something when you are playing mostly back up QBs and teams that can't pass. You may not like or wish to ignore the signal it's telling you, but it's telling you something. Also, we have not had tons of garbage time in our games this year - most games have been close going into the 4th quarter. More importantly than adjusted or unadjusted stats though, I care more about continuing coverage busts we keep seeing. It means our guys don't know what they are doing. That's mostly on the coaches. And on the last drive that decided the game, I think coverage busts played a bigger role than the actual coverages PK was calling. Perhaps that's correctible. We will see.
  16. Meh, our pass defense is not good, regardless of what adjusted stats say. We've played essentially no one that can pass competently this year, other than OU, yet we've surrendered 200+ yards through the air on average, and our safeties and LBs have looked lost in coverage/burned multiple times in multiple games. On OU, I agree the blame goes all around. But our defense, particularly in the 2nd half, was not "good" against OU. There were a lot of easy OU fuckups that we did not force that killed their drives (missed FG and two or three easy passes that DG missed come to mind). When we needed our pass defense to really step up, they shit the bed. Badly. If that's good defense, I'd hate to see bad.
  17. PK has really improved our run defense (QB runs notwithstanding lol). I said upthread prior to OU that I didn't trust our pass defense. OU was the 1st good passing team (or one with a non-back up QB) we've faced this year and it showed. Part of the issue is we still don't have a reliable edge rusher. But a bigger issue is we simply don't defend the pass well, with miscommunication/misunderstanding among LBs and safeties, three years into PK's system. If we played in the big 12 from a decade ago, he would get carved up.
  18. That's George Floyd era. Everyone is in a mask and there's a sign with George Floyd.
  19. Sark was never able to build the talent level at previous stops to where's he's got it at Texas. The talent advantage alone bumps him from 7 win Steve to 8 or 9 win Steve.

    Sark said he would change nothing in terms of clock management on our last offensive drive. Ok cool. There's a reason some coaches are better in close games than others.
  21. So he did have a PC today? Did we get bingo?
  22. hold back. why on god's green earth haven't we learned this over the last decade? Big 12 doesn't call holding, even now when they have every reason to against OU. You can hold with impunity. We should be teaching it as an artform.
