It will be very interesting to see what transpires if we get beat this weekend by Arky followed up by a loss to aggy next week. I can already see some expectations being lowered by the $9.95ers for the Arky game. They are all noting Arky’s 2-7 record could easily be flipped because of the closeness of their loses. But it’s remarkable though they are having to address the elephant in the room thanks to Desmond bringing it back out of the speculation and chatter on the message boards, etc. So much so they are talking about who do we turn to if Sark leaves voluntarily or involuntarily.
I can’t believe more questions were not asked during the spring about all the events you listed ? Was it all hush-hush in Austin? Or was it just a symptom of being content because we just came off what most programs would consider a successful season as far as W/L record, we have Arch who was already being hyped unfairly as a contender for the Hesman, we were being picked #1 in all the spring football media write ups, etc.? I don’t recall any of the $9.95 er’s asking about the lack of activity in the transfer portal. Boy were we fooled.
It is interesting listening to the OB and On Texas Football podcasts today, they did entertain the possibility that there indeed is some fire behind this smoke now. Whereas a month ago, they laughed it off.
Ticket prices further falling for the both the Arky and aggy games on Seat Geek.
Below $100 for a couple of cheap seats for the Arky game. Not sure if they sold that low for the Sammy Houston game that regardless if we were #1 or whatever, no one would've given a rat's ass about.
The servers on this site and other message boards better have some back up. Because if we lose the Arky game this fan base will be as pissed as many of us have ever seen it, at least in this media age. It might be Route 66 level pissed off. Johnny Mack was done and dead man walking after that and he still had nine or ten games to play after that. Sark may only have one.
CDC is in a Catch 22 situation. He denies it repeatedly, the is fire is atomic level because usually denials by AD’s this time of the year are followed up with the exact opposite days or weeks later. If he doesn’t deny it daily or whenever he’s in front of the media, then the rumors and speculation grow legs of their own and go down rabbit holes. This is where we are at now now. The starting line of going down rabbit holes.
Yep. There was never a point in this game where I thought we were going to win this game. Not even our opening drive although we scored, it still had the feel we were going to go through some of the same motions with the undisciplined stuff. I’ll give the defense their due for making several stops and stopping the bleeding until they couldn’t stop it.
