This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Going back to Year 1 of Sark, seeing him lose six games in a row, building for the future instead of winning this game, right here, right now... took me - and apparently many others - three years to really warm up to him, and here we go again. I don't think I'll be surprised if we manage to lose three or four of the last five games. We shouldn't, we all hope we don't, we all hope our HC can get up the OC's ass and get some lipstick on this pig.

All threads are susceptible to "Arch&OL suck" and "there was that time" posts.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Florida-Kentucky level OC'ing would make it hard to win any of these last five regular season games.

SEC Refs Suck
I'm surprised at the ref-firing, but that Auburn-UGa game was as blatant as anything we've ever seen, including the Baylor Teaff farewell and the Charlie Hip-check game. I can't imagine anything that would make shit so obvious, other than a visit from Lefty and Fingers relaying an unrefusable offer from Da Boss. Really, only halfway kidding - it's gonna take some serious fear for you to throw away whatever reputation you still have.

Maybe. Are there any dark glasses?

2025 Random Games thread
I love football. Watching a game that's relatively evenly matched is the best. It's so enjoyable to see guys making athletic plays... fast, strong, great catches, great throws, great kicks. It doesn't even matter if I don't care who wins - in fact it's often even better, because I can appreciate plays both ways. Gotta love it. Hook'em

You don't need to go that far: either stop sucking your thumb, or just take out your bottom teeth when you do.

Game Week 8: Texas at MSST
Saint Darrell was asked whether he thought ball control or rushing yardage was the more important, since both were a bit over 90% accurate in predicting wins. DKR said "Neither. Our research shows scoreboard control is a hundred percent accurate... whoever had more points, wins every time."

Texas O-line talk
Echoes my major point to a certain class of clients: "It's already broken, it already doesn't work - how much worse do you think it can be?"

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

- Does Sark have the balls to bench Arch or will he die on that hill?
Speaking of Sark and balls... does Loreal know that Sark had a vasectomy a couple of years ago? Maybe that's just another baseless internet rumor, though.- Michael Taaffe wants you to stop being such fucking pussies.

Just a guess, but I think prolly some difference between payment for live performance versus broadcast.- 2025 Random Games thread
"Tessitore" hits close to home. I wrote a book in the late 80s about the Lesbian detective who lived upstairs from Kinky Friedman's gap lappers, name of Tess Tosterone. Publishers laughed at me and at the book... but not hard enough to buy.- Tell me about Texas Tech
It would be interesting to see results if visitor sections in the Tech stadium were outlined clearly. There isn't a penalty for tortilla-flinging if they aren't hitting the field... is there?- Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
Not until next August, anyway...- Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
Kentucky has some players. They just don't have enough of them and/or enough good coaches. I wouldn't go so far as to characterize them as Little Sisters of the Poor... but what might fit better is "Little Sistets of the Stupid". On the other hand, your world can get fucked up if you ignore dumbasses completely. Pay attention. Hook'em- Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
This sums up my attitude perfectly.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Yeah, sure. Back of the line, amigo. It's down to the end and around the corner.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
This pissed off a lot of people. I understand the need to keep "culture" pointed the right direction, and I understand the likely greater Sarkian sensitivity to an alcohol-related incident, but punishing your team by sitting a player for something that happened six months ago seems short-sighted. I hope there were other reason(s) for leaving Stroh out there stumbling and bumbling around. I just wonder if the culture issue was finally deemed taken care of or if it was a matter of realizing that either the OL got fixed and we let DWI-boy play or we might as well kiss our goals goodbye. Anyway, it looks a hell of a lot better now. Hook'em- Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
Strong's agent, you mean. Remember who you're talking about.- Who is this legend from Saturday?
But not an unpopular one.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I've wondered about the contract balances in the event of uhhh some sort of you know an uhhhh an unfortunate accident. Coach Franklin? You have two visitors who say they need to speak with you, a Mister Louie and a Mister Fingers. Miz Long opines that such would likely have to pay off, if only to a survivor or an LLC. Of course, she's Criminal Defense and not Contract lawyer, so I'm not sure about that. But I have looked at a couple of coaching contracts online, and both of them had an LLC associated with the coach, so... maybe just a disappearance, have to wait seven years to presume death? And who knows what could happen in seven years, right? - Does Sark have the balls to bench Arch or will he die on that hill?
