  1. Well, then the play may be to start funding the programs of the UT system to be developmental feeder programs. Take all the 2 and 3 stars and the ones that pan out get sent up to the big show. But something they can do right now is to hire a staff of scouts that do nothing but scour college football looking for developed prospects with talent ready to be poached. Or try to money whip a few of Cignetti's scouts
  2. I actually disagree completely. I love this aspect of the portal era. Animosity and hatred get more explosive and the stakes feel even higher. Yep. Sark decided that going all in on Coleman to take the outside spot opposite Wingo was the way to go and Livingstone was told up front that was the plan and he was going to be offered a backup role and backup money for next season. So he bolted, and OU offered starter money and a starter role. Anyone would be pissed and wanting some revenge for the disrespect in his shoes. I dont blame him, and I find it funny that OU thinks Sark's castoffs are the path to a title.
  3. All but the most elite of elite freshmen require at least a full year of development before being of any value to a team contending for a title. I'm saying he's not one of those. He may never develop. But at minimum we know he wasn't an early bloomer. He's behind even the other 3 freshmen we took
  4. We canceled our family one and went to Tidal. Spotify walked it back and said they wont air them. Fuck them for ever doing it at all. Local and state police need to start arresting them.
  5. Totalitarianism. If this isn't defeated with force and harshly punished the country will fall for good and all our lives will be far worse. Our children and grandchildren will have no hope for the future possibility of a good life. Heather Richard talked about every time extremism/fascism has begun to take hold in the US there's been an event that turns white people against it and drives it back to the fringes. Let's hope full view video of a white woman being slaughtered by the fascist republican agents is one of those events. If this doesn't even do it? This country is fucked right here and right now.
  6. Late bloomer. Highly ranked late bloomers don't stay with the team that signed them out of HS anymore. He can trade on his HS grade for a bigger payday than what Texas will offer him. After 1 year he's clearly last out of the 4 they took out of HS last year.
  7. You believe it's just you 2? My sweet summer child...
  8. That's what 95% of redshirt freshmen with talent do. AI lies as badly as SidneyCarton's wife when she tells him she's going to "girl's night"
  9. Miami had two backup corners in the game, one of them a freshman, and Ole Miss didn't even try to attack them one time in that red zone. Stupid decisions lose games
  10. He wasn't, but everyone is negotiating right now. I saw here the narrative from the resident bullshit artist that the ignorant are eating up as truth is that Brandon Harris completely fucked up the Barnes negotiation and others. But then explain how he isn't fucking up the negotiations for the DL? There's beg no peep out of Terry, Sharma, Charles, Jackson, etc. Why is that? Could it be because those are the guys Sark wasn't looking to replace in the portal? So those negotiations got sewn up quickly with no problem? And with a guy like Barnes, Sark was actually trying to push out and give his money to Alliegro and the Cal LB? That just seems to make the most sense. I have no idea if Harris is fucking anything up or not, but everything that happens seems to suggest Harris is nothing more than Sark's mouthpiece and errand boy. I would need some solid evidence Harris says it's does anything differently from what Sark tells him to do, and the word of proven liars here don't count. Sark got caught with his pants down on just how difficult it was going to be to win these recruitments and the staff is struggling to fix some stupid mistakes with guys like Barnes.
  11. I see smaller HS classes and exactly what you just said. Then really put your chips down in the portal for guys other programs paid to develop. I think it's obvious Sark did not anticipate the portal changes that have happened this year and he's scrambling at certain positions now. Especially at QB. Why pay millions for a freshman when you can pay peanuts for a developmental freshman and pay millions for an already developed starter. Every team left in the playoffs now has that exact situation, right?
  12. Can't feel good. HS players are going to start getting offered a ton less money across the board going forward. Unless they're Colin Simmons/Jeremiah Smith level. It makes no sense for any big program to sink so much money into freshmen who won't play except special teams then get pissed and bolt. If they're going to keep this portal stuff as is I would like to see them make 1 change. Make it where the portal window is the final cut day for everyone. Meaning if you enter the portal you must be signed with a program by the portal end date or you're ineligible for the following season.
  13. This is a touchy subject at the moment, but what do you think of the Shipley situation? I would rather he recovers, but knowing he and his family are big magas and support the death and destruction of people who aren't like them makes me not give too much of a shit. And the incessant religious nonsense his family throws out in every update on that thread made me just step away from reading it. I understand it's a crutch that these types of people lean on but damn, say it once and move on. It rings so hollow knowing the atrocities these people support. A decade ago I'd be all in this guy's corner, religious dumbassery aside. Another example for me of trump showing me who some of my fellow Americans/Texans/Longhorns truly are. Such a shame.
  14. I like how the completely unregulated transfer portal madness is ruining college football. I guess a complete lack of a legitimate governmental body regulation of some kind is a disaster no matter the scenario. Ron Paul was a complete moron.
  15. I see you havent been in a casino since the 90s
  16. I figured that was one that might go this direction. He actually showed out as a true freshman against Michigan. He's in line to play a ton next season even with a LB or 2 being brought in. He seems like a prototype LB for Muschamp with his size and ability to move. Bet he walks back in soon. Virtually no staffs around the country are managing fine. Most of them are having to put everything in just to keep the players they already had. Almost no one is actually gaining yet.
  17. Might want to start working on that "getting" part. They're not quite doing that one correctly. Sark is gone. If not within the next few weeks to the NFL it will be as soon as the season ends next fall. College football is a disaster. "NCAA Libertarianism" has been a disaster. Allowing the players to factor into the profits was needed, but all out madness with zero governmental body regulation leads to this pile of shit. Very few if any coaches want to deal with this, so the ones with legit NFL interest like Sark will bolt soon. You would think this has to severely harm player development at this level too. These players arent staying in one place long enough to properly develop.
  18. That looked like a lesbian slap fight on a Sunday afternoon
  19. About time to get grok to make a picture of Sark holding a giant platter of bread. If he doesn't start getting offensive players locked up in the next day or 2.
  20. If we wanted a more experienced version of that guy we would have just paid Lefau to stay
  21. Yes. He is not coming to Texas for the reasons I talked about.
  22. Meh. I check in here throughout the year and it's terrible quality no matter the time of year. Just a lot more to talk about right now than in May
  23. Maybe a new OL coach wouldn't be so hung up on size to the detriment of if a guy can actually play the position. Flood recruits line like he's going to just go out and gap scheme the shit out of everyone like it's1990s Nebraska, but then the season starts and Sark starts calling a lot of zone runs. And the large line gets run around in pass pro like traffic cones. There's a massive disconnect and I don't understand why it wasn't addressed. I feel the line issues could have already been remedied in the portal if Sark actually had an OL coach who was going to adapt to what Sark does on offense.
  24. I think it's looking pretty obvious the biggest mistake Sark has made since the weekend after Thanksgiving was not immediately firing Flood after the last game. It will be a miracle if this line under Flood in 2026 is substantially better than it was in 2025.
