All of this makes me more thankful for the insight or luck in hiring Sark and in the masterful way he’s crafted the program into an emerging monster.
Those poor bastards are in hell. Having lived through the idiocy of Jimbo’s contract and the fool’s gold of his tenure, they go out and make such an underwhelming HC hire. Klein is not the guy. He’s a guy who can maximize a roster of two and three stars but his system isn’t going to maximize 4 and 5 star talent. You’d have to be crazy to bypass an opportunity to catch passes from Ewers (or other elite offenses) in order to block for Klein’s running backs.
I think they beat Mizzou in Columbia in 2021. Also Colorado earlier that year. They’ve beat Arky but those were at Jerry’s World.
No road or conference road wins in 2022 or 2023.
Wow!!!
I’ll never understand the eagerness of schools to throw tens of millions of dollars of contract extensions at coaches with 2+ years left on their contract, at the very first modicum of success. We’ve done it too. No one was trying to steal BV away. And I don’t buy the idea that kids will be less likely to commit to a school where a coach with a mediocre track record doesn’t’t have a long term contract. They want NIL and they want to win. A place holder coach’s financial stability is not their concern.
I love that they’ve built this narrative in their heads that leaving the Big XII and Texas’s shadow, they were leaving a bad relationship where they were stifled and kept from achieving their rightful place at the table of football blue bloods.
Their 10 year head start in the SEC would have them as a co-leader of the conference along with Alabama and Georgia and when Texas joined we’d be the outcasts and ne’er do wells, treated as lesser than by everyone else. Standing outside in the rain as everyone else parties.
IIRC Taaffe made a possibly TD saving tackle. RB got through the line and hurdle over Taaffe who reached out and got enough of his legs to get him to the ground. He had a lot of green in front of him if not for that tackle.
Says CW grew “steadily more comfortable as the game wore on.” Didn’t he play for barely more than a half of football throwing for 125 yards against McNeese? If McNeese causes you discomfort, it’s gonna be a rough year.
Fucking LOL. If there was ever a definition of “damned by faint praise,” that’s it.
His assessment of Texas’ good points was tempered with the caveat of “we have to consider the quality of the opponent,” a Big 10 program coming off a national championship.
Then goes on to say how much we learned about Aggy after playing FCS opponent McNeese State.
Calls the Texas OL and DL as “soft” and praise aggy lines after playing McNeese. Lol.
Calls Texas “probably” a top 15 team. Gee thanks
Who actually reads this shit for anything more than a laugh?
I love that you can rotate these guys and there’s very little dropoff. All of these guys are fast enough to run outside, all of these guys fight for yards and move the chains.
Hell yah DMO!!! Dude went through a lot in his career to get to this point. I was afraid he’d be seen as too much of a tweener to stay in the league long term. Thats a great stat line.
