  1. LOL. Yes, made the century cut-off. But if you would have said 'this decade' it would explain a lot.
  2. Fair enough LOL. Watching while finishing up some work although don't think I can stay up for this one. Got back from travel super late last night and catching up with me. Let's get some points.
  3. Great. Why does my degree suddenly seem significantly devalued.
  4. JFC. You truly aren't even worth fucking conversing with. Turned this board into your fucking Bravo TV show and now just putting words in peoples mouth.
  5. This would have been WAY worse IMO. Everyone (including every staff in the country trying to poach Texas players and recruits) would have taken that as gospel Sark is trying to GTFO ASAP. Just admit you are pissed and there isn't a single thing Sark can say or can't say you will agree with.
  6. Are you serious? You think he's going to get up and say publicly he's considering leaving or in any way be honest to the media regarding anything that's going on? He said what every single coach would say. Did you forget Schloss the night before he took the job LOL. And the running game bit I did hear. I didn't agree with it but more nuanced than you are stating. Again, standard post loss coach speak in my view. I actually think media is the one thing Sark does better than any coach we've had (not quite as full of shit as Mack was and way better than Strong or Herman) Well you were one of the posters I knew that could speak to it without citing fucking Kirk Bohls and google.
  7. Yes, you've made quite fucking clear how dialed in and important you think you are in your 5000 posts on the subject.
  8. There are posters on Surly that know NIL specifics. More than fucking Kirk Bohls knows for sure.
  9. What is he saying that is crazy? Are you saying internally? Because I haven't seen everything this week so may have missed, but have not seen any public statement that isn't exactly what I would expect him to say.
  10. Nicole's source. Google. LOL. There are several posters here that can speak to the veracity of that directly if they want to and you are citing fucking google.
  11. I'll never understand fans that don't understand the way coaches talk to media and the way they talk behind closed doors is night and day. It's truly fascinating people that allegedly follow sports can't comprehend this yet after every loss there are people that lose their mind at the press conference. Does anyone think that the leaked Bo Davis rant that is (rightfully) praised would ever be said publicly LOL.
  12. I disagree with this. Or at least any insinuation we are a less toxic or fair weather than the worst in that regard (which, I'll admit, is a decent chunk of the SEC and several other top tier programs). We are certainly up there with all of them. But let's be clear, the reason for all the activity in this thread is that we have 3 losses in a season with high expectations and blame must be allocated loudly. If we beat UGA, none of this shit is being talked about. But we've lost 3 games and the last one wasn't close so now it's turned into personal and character attacks on the coach based on rumors. Maybe they are right - I don't know. I could text someone right now that almost certainly would know but I don't really care enough (and when I do get insider information, I typically don't post it all over this board particularly to the extent the subsequent discussion would in any way damage Texas). Obviously most don't agree with that and think all dirty laundry should be shared widely. But you are kidding yourself to think that if Sark is replaced, similar toxicity won't exist the first time Freeman or Kiffin or whoever has a disappointing loss. The coach everyone is clamoring for today will suddenly become a fucking retard and no doubt people will search and gossip about off the field reasons to explain why their god given right to enjoy a 10+ win and playoff season is in jeopardy.
  13. This is fucking laughable. Instigating all of the nonstop teenage girl/TMZ gossip for weeks now. Yes, I'm sure you hate all of it and all the attention. That checks.
  14. Herbstreit may have been dead on with his cesspool comments given this tread this week. Toxic 'Cloak Room' style discourse has been spilling over to this board for years now (i.e., Ewers thread) and now it's just turning into fucking Longhorn TMZ.
  15. Right. So pretty much a similar year that we had. I don't know if it's just a sign of online society in general but the mood swings on this board after a win or a loss are beyond fucking ridiculous. I will bet anyone that UGA has a 3 or more loss season under Kirby in the next 3 years if anyone wants to take me up on it. It's going to fucking happen. I get everyone had high expectations but the days of going 12-0 and 11-1 on the reg are going to be over. It's ok to be disappointed and pissed about offseason roster construction and pissed about the way things went in general, but this board having a meltdown over the fact that it's possible that our coach that took us to back-to-back semis (after 12 or so years of pure non-competitive dogshit) could possibly remain as the coach is insane
  16. Bama did the same fucking thing LAST YEAR lol. This board is insane. And their toxic 'fans' threw tantrums just like you all are. I don't know if Sark is the answer here or not but if this board and fanbase is going to lose their fucking minds and want to fire every coach every time we lose 3 games, well get fucking used to it in "NFL parity" that is SEC and College football in general going forward.
  17. They lost their edge after UGA converted back-to-back 4th downs and then the surprise onside. It's called a fucking knockout blow and it happens to a team every damn week. UGA was better than us regardless and likely pulls out 7-10 point win even if we stop one of the 4th downs, but momentum shifts in sports are a real thing and i would have thought everyone on this board would have seen enough of that by now. Again, look at Aggy last week. USC could do no wrong and A&M couldn't stop fucking up until halftime allowed them to reset. Then they gained momentum and did the same thing to SC. If we all wanted to spend the time on it we could come up with a list of games we've seen Texas do the same thing that UGA did to us and point to a few plays that realistically ended up causing a 2-3 TD swing.
  18. This. Has nobody on this board ever seen massive momentum shifts in football before? UGA was better than us but we stop one of those first 2 4th down conversions and it likely ends up a one score game. Hell, we stop the first one we may have scored and grabbed the momentum and pulled it off. Just look at the damn Aggy game to see crazy momentum swings within a game. That onside kick was an absolute knockout blow and a brilliant call by Kirby.
  19. You get dramatic after a bad loss just like most of this board. Texas is still a top 15 team. Just about everyone in the 10-25 range would have 3 L's and most 4 or 5 playing our schedule. We've played a grand total of 1 power 4 game at home, 1 neutral and 5 on the road. We are still a 1-2 loss team if we played the OSU, Indiana, Aggy or Oregon schedule. Again, people are looking through the lens of expecting Texas to be a top 3 team and win a championship. That's obviously not what this team is. But if you think there are a ton of teams that would be 8-2 right now with our schedule that is just wrong.
  20. I told my family looking for tix to hold off until Friday. We are about as big of a fair weather fan base as there is.
  21. What I'm telling you with current and future parity people need to understand good teams losing 3 games is going to be the norm. The playoff will be expanded to account for that. Saban got out when he did for a reason. Again, I don't really even qualify this Texas team as 'good'. Certainly not complete.
  22. As long as we play our schedule (including a good OOC game) a "good" Texas team is going to fluctuate between 8-4 and 10-2 and no doubt this board will melt down after every loss. This probably isn't even a 'good' Texas team but I don't know how long it's going to take people to adjust to the new realities of college football. It happened to Bama last year. It will absolutely happen to UGA (they won a couple of coin flips this year). It will happen to OSU although they have the benefit of a significantly weaker bottom half of the conference. But it's not a coincidence that the 3 undefeated teams played the weakest conference schedule of the top 10 teams.
  23. I thought the first 4th down call was questionable. But they clearly had a play call they really liked for that situation and it worked. If they ran up the middle or similar there and got stopped it would be Kirby's fanbase shitting all over him. 2nd 4th down call also pretty aggressive and it paid off. But the surprise onside was genius timing IMO. He went for the kill shot and it worked. There was zero chance we were winning that game once they recovered. And he had to feel good where they were at even we recovered at home up 11. That was just a great call.
  24. Exactly. It's parity we are living in. People flat out can't comprehend this is now essentially the NFL. Particularly in the SEC. Edit to add you have to give aggy and Indiana credit though as they made the plays needed to win at the end of the day. Those plays around the margins is what will separate playoff teams. The days of playing your C game and winning by 20 because you can out-athlete most teams are over.
  25. They are very solid on offense. I don't trust this teams psyche after last week and don't really trust our defense (particularly secondary) in any event. 100% a game we could lose if team isn't focused on winning and definitely have my concerns that they will be after that beat down.
