Yes. It has compared to prior years. Obviously Tech is swinging it's money around seemingly all on recruits who we seem to be heavily recruiting as well.
It may just be we are getting outbid or perhaps the donors have slowed down the nil faucet with all the behind the scenes shit.
TL; dr summation:
1. Desmond Howard posted Instagram story said don't be surprised if Texas has a new coach after this year.
2. Howard repped by Sexton along with Sark.
3. Rehash of earlier Sark rumors.
4. Luby's
5. Lots of song videos.
6. Rumors may or may not be true. No one knows shit.
7. Ketchum is still a liar who damages this program intentionally.
I would like to call this the Mack Brown ceiling (when he cared). It's a ceiling when you have a subpar coach.......until..... the talent becomes so good that it carries your sub-par coaching to a national championship.
IF he is going to be dead set on being the OC, then maybe we need to make sure the assistant to the head coach type is former head coach with experience ala Patterson as opposed to Gilbert.
Someone who can tell him that he respects and will listen to about some of the bigger issue game management/coaching problems that comes up while he is picking plays.
We did run the ball well. The first seven or eight times we ran it I felt we were averaging something like 7-8 yards per carryish. Georgia made adjustments though and in combination shut it down whatever was working slightly and Sark abandoned it when we got down big. But for the first half of the game I felt we were running it well.
In fairness to Sark we did run the ball better than I ever imagined we would the eight or so times we did it early. I legit thought we would end up with less than 10 yards with sacks
With the drops and the slip on multiple plays including the first one thet he may have had enough space to house, I joked with my gambling friends that perhaps he was on the take.
It won't happen because they will have their access pulled.....but someone should ask Sark on Monday about their special teams practice of on an onside.
1. So you practiced it and the players still lined up 15 yards from the kick and immediately turned their backs for the return?
2. The entire front five on the return?
3. Did you and/or your special teams coach remind your players before the kickoff that you had practiced it?
We were so unprepared for them going for on that second fourth down attempt. We should have used a timeout. (Yes I know how valuable they are to a team trailing in the fourth quarter)
