  1. This is my read. Probably has some kind of connection with the Texas staff either from the Baylor/Tx State staffs or his dad and wants to get into coaching. Basically a GA that can double as a practice body.
  2. This. "Hey coach, Quinn's 2-for-100 on deep posts for his career, maybe think twice about that one" with < 6 mins left and leading, for example That and, I mean, it was game 15.
  3. In order to win, this team is going to have to show up in the... *checks notes* 16th game of the year, and do things it has thus far not been capable of. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one and will instead just be pleasantly surprised if we elevate our game.
  4. Sark's very obviously a much better program builder/manager than he is gameday coach. That is what it is. Some of these posts are insane though. I thought it was a bad hire - let me tell you, it's much easier and more satisfying to simply admit you were wrong than to bump this thread with texags grade takes every time Texas has a bad game. Last year Texas was a legit top 3 team and they're somewhere between the third to sixth best team in the country this year. Just signed the consensus number one recruiting class after 3-4 straight top 5 classes. He's got us right there. Texas is a top 5 program right now. Not theoretically, not one of the top 5 best jobs. Top five program today. I don't know how some of y'all can forget 2010-22 so soon but this program looks so much better on the field even when not playing its best. The "we need a real OC" bits are especially stupid. Being an elite OC is what got Sark where he is. It's perhaps his only real value add on game day. You don't kneecap that strength. Then you just have a middling game manager and a lesser OC.
  5. Brock Purdy is actually not a bad NFL comp for Ewers, IMO. Where he lands is going to make or break his career. Imagine how ugly it would have been if Purdy went to the Jets or something.
  6. My father spent some time in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for work and shared similar sentiments. It's where we're going.
  7. This but on the flip side, they aren't even in office yet. Biden and Senate Democrats are still out here appointing Article 3 judges. They've already nearly shut down the government and gotten into... Whatever this is, before even taking office. Add it to the long list of recent exhibits showing Republicans' lack of ability to govern. It's going to be such a shit show once they actually take power that this will be a distant memory.
  8. There are all of two players on the Mt Rushmore of Texas QBs. There are no others that compare to them in terms of individual greatness.
  9. I don't know how y'all have the energy to keep going on this. Ewers was pretty good yesterday, as he has been many times before. He is what he is at this point - generally a pretty good college QB who struggles with the deep ball and exhibits inconsistent pocket awareness. He's got a couple of games left at Texas and a change is not at all on the table. His legacy is going to be the QB that presided over Texas reclaiming the B12 title on the way out the door, going 2-1 against OU and kicking aggy's teeth in at the biggest game in Kyle Field's history, getting to the SEC title game in the first year in the conference, and making back to back CFP semifinals. Even if he's had a disappointing year, if you wouldn't have taken that in the spring of 2022 then you would have been an idiot. Arch will get the keys in a matter of weeks. I think there's a lot t look forward to with an offense structured around a different skillset at QB, but for now just enjoy the ride and hope Ewers plays a ceiling game when it's needed.
  10. I'm sure the Hateful 8 are positively giddy to watch the past two B12 champs, a departure and a newcomer who was 3-9 last year, square off in a playoff game.
  11. I'm willing to admit it's reasonable to point out Texas had a light schedule. What I've never understood is why Tennessee got a pass on having an essentially identical conference schedule - 7/8 common opponents against which they put together an inferior body of work to Texas, and a 7 point home win against a bipolar Bama team in their big rivalry vs Texas winning by 10 on the road at aggy in a game that had been circled for years. Both teams dog walked inferior power conference opponents out of conference and lost to Georgia by multiple scores in offensive meltdowns. They straight up coasted reputationally on that Bama win when in reality they were the overrated team people have accused Texas of being.
  12. Texas: 24 Clemson: 13 Clemson yardage: 301 Clemson's got a defense and that means the Texas offense is going to embarrass itself for stretches. Texas will, however, find their way into the 20's and I don't trust Clemson to do the same without a lot of help (i.e. turnovers), that I think Texas manages not to give them despite some dysfunction. This one never gets too out of hand on the scoreboard but also never feels particularly competitive.
