ATLLonghorn

The funniest thing is that these are the second and third most talented teams in the country based on the 247 talent composite. #1 is Georgia who got their shit pushed in by Alabama and Florida.

Najee Harris is just so ridiculous.

DeVonta Smith is just so ridiculous.

At 6:35 here's Sark calling the same play he did on the last Smith TD with another Bama receiver.

After watching Tom Herman look at a piece of paper that said "should we give Bijan Robinson more touches? Y or N" and circling "N" every time I enjoy watching Alabama give their best offensive player a lot of touches.

The camera cuts to him and they think he's signaling in plays, but he's actually sending coded messages to Quinn Ewers to come to Texas.

Considering that the Falcons offense has been WAY worse with Dirk Koetter than it ever was with Sark I'd imagine Sark would really enjoy interviewing Quinn.

While there were a myriad of reasons Herman got the boot I think Ewers is one of the reasons he got canned. Brian Davis put out a tweet with some of CDC's justifications and they were: bowl game opt outs, this recruiting class not being great, 2022's class not looking good so far and the negative recruiting from some of the players on the team. The opt out thing is a load of shit because they won the bowl game by 30 points. This recruiting class wasn't going to change much either way because almost the entire class is signed and the negative recruiting is a problem for sure. If Texas was going to emulate a program to try and get back to the top it would be Alabama, Clemson or Ohio State and it had to be an offensive minded coach to try and get Ewers back in the mix. Ryan Day ain't leaving Ohio State and it's his offense even if Kevin Wilson is the OC. That leaves Sark and Tony Elliott. I think both are fine candidates honestly. I think it just boils down to Texas doesn't want to be Clemson in that Clemson is an overachiever. Clemson fashions themselves as the underdog who made good. That isn't Texas. Alabama and Texas are more philosophical fits and I think that's why Sark was the guy. I don't think it had anything to do with any of his work prior to coming to Alabama. I think CDC wants Texas to emulate Alabama if they can and that makes sense. If Sark can get Kyle Flood to come to Austin and fix the offensive line, gets the 2022 class going in a positive direction and the program shows signs of life early in the season I think we have a shot with Ewers. I wouldn't underestimate the family affinity for UT and the proximity to Austin vs Columbus. It's an uphill battle because Ohio State is just so far ahead of us as a program, but I'm staying optimistic that there's a chance.

I assume this is to keep Bijan happy and if it keeps Bijan happy it keeps me happy (for now)

I'm fine rolling with Ash for another year. Play calling and O-line are the areas we need to make sure are on point.

Did Saban retire? "2020 Alabama (interim HC)" Saban had the Rona and missed the Iron Bowl

He's so irrelevant now it would make sense. ESPN is saying we're targeting Sark. Feldman is dancing around it delicately. Chip went full Leroy Jenkins.

how'd that end up going?

Kirby is Mark Richt with a better bagman network.

Yeah noted guy who knows stuff David Pollack

Washington was a historically solid program that bottomed out after a legendarily bad hire in Tyrone Willingham. Sark ended up rebuilding the program to where they were at least a bowl team. He was also 7-19 vs ranked teams there and lost those games by an average of 23 points per game. And that's the nicest thing you can say about his head coaching resume.

There's definitely going to be a QB competition in the spring and I'm pretty confident both quarterbacks are going to play early in the season. Given how much of an ass beating Tom Herman is taking in recruiting right now I think the perception that he didn't give a 4-star kid from Lake Travis a shot to win the QB job would be used against him. I have a feeling we're going to be very frustrated with our QB deployment next year.

Tom Herman is determined to make his life more difficult and it makes no sense. There have been plenty of instances in his tenure where the offense goes away from something that is working. Usually that's schematic and schematic advantages can be fleeting. But when you have clearly the best player on the field by a wide margin there is no excuse to not make him the focal point of the offense. I don't love, but can get behind the idea of the running back rotation for a couple of series. In a perfect world both backs are cooking and you don't need to run Bijan 20+ times to win. It was evident after four series last night that Bijan had it and Ro did not. From that point forward Ro should've only gotten carries to spell Bijan when he was tired. Colorado was never winning this game. Texas was just flat out the better, more talented team so it's so dumb that it was a seven point game at halftime when Texas could've blown the doors off of them early. Again, it wasn't going to make a difference last night, but it's shit like this that causes games that shouldn't be close to be closer and close games to be losses. Take the easy way out. It's totally ok!

I know none of this makes a single shit, doesn't make up for all the fuck ups this year and it's incredibly frustrating how much of a dumbfuck Tom Herman is when it comes to the usage of his best player on offense, but this year has sucked in so many ways for me personally and I really enjoyed that second half so that's nice.

Only missed four tackles on that play. No big deal.

Texas on drives when Bijan Robinson touched the ball - 163 yards, 14 points. Texas on drives when Bijan Robinson didn't touch the ball - 25 yards, 0 points. Fuck Tom Herman with a rusty metal pineapple

Texas on drives when Bijan Robinson touched the ball - 163 yards, 14 points. Texas on drives when Bijan Robinson didn't touch the ball - 22 yards, 0 points. Someone please launch Tom Herman into the fucking sun.

Bijan has been unstoppable in two drives tonight and then didn't touch the ball on the other two drives. This shit is so infuriating.
