  1. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/commentary-college-football-review-are-refs-needling-usc-texas-and-other-expansion-defectors/ar-AA13hr1f USC fan: "...I did not rip the officiating in my column from Utah because I did not allow myself to be fully convinced that a Pac-12 crew was taking every opportunity to punish USC for leaving for the Big Ten and propping up one of the best remaining Pac-12 programs that was playing a must-win game at home. No, I could not make that premise the focus of my column because it simply had to be wrong. Pac-12 refs are just bad, right? Their ineptitude does not discriminate. But then I saw Texas 14, Oklahoma State 0. And I had to wonder: Are Pac-12 and Big 12 officials making it extra hard on their departed? Texas, future Southeastern Conference member, is in its second season of its Big 12 farewell tour. USC, future Big Ten member, is in its first season of two saying goodbye to the Pac-12...."
  2. Here is what is on the air next weekend. Networks seem to definitely be more fond of Big 12 than ACC and Pac 12. Big 10-ABC-2, Fox, ESPN2, BTN SEC-CBS, ESPN, SECN-3 Big 12-Fox, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1 (Texas is off this weekend and OU is on FS1) ACC-ABC (ND at Syracuse), ESPN, CBSSN, ACCN-3, ESPN3 (Miami!!!) Pac 12-ESPN (late night), FS1-2 (one on Friday), ESPNU, Pac 12N AAC-ESPN, ESPN2, CBSSN, ESPN+
  3. Well there were also those multi-interception games against UH in the late 80s when we gave them 60+ 3 straight years, but at least they were throwing it somewhere in the vicinity of a guy in Burnt Orange. Even Garret Gilbert vs. Alabama managed to get us back into the game before fumbling it away.
  4. Surprised we are #26 in both polls. Top 3 loss team.
  5. The biggest positive is the upgrade in talent. Mack got complacent and bad at evaluation. Strong was lazy. Herman couldn't keep his people. Maybe next year we will have the best talent in the Big 12 and a good base for the next coach if Sark doesn't get it done then.
  6. Especially considering it only happened 3 times in the 15 years before we got here. And it only happened 3 times in that time span by the rest of the Big 12 combined. Before "he" got here
  7. Oh, I'm not ready to fire him, but he's turning out so far just like he did at his previous stops. Same for Tom Hermann-won unexpected games, lost unexpected games. Same for Mackovic, great offensive mind who had good games and bad games and no defense. Same for Mack-great recruiter, really good teams, but almost always 2nd place in the conference. 7 win Sark looks like a 7 win coach. Don't know why we expect coaches to perform better than the did elsewhere.
  8. There are coaches who can lose despite talent. Sark may be one of them. We'll see. All I can say is he's a vastly better recruiter than Strong and not a total complete dumbshit coach like Strong was. Will he ever get us beyond 8-4? Jimbo is 3-4 at this point. He's another of them. He was about to get fired at FSU after winning a title.
  9. We've had a LOT worse pass blocking games. Pressure was probably worse every single game last year and QBs didn't miss their receivers by 20 yards. You must be the same people who kept trying to say Charlie Strong was a good coach despite all evidence to the contrary. Ewers may end up being a really good QB, but he had one of the worst performances in Texas history yesterday. I don't know why, but Ewers was historically awful.
  10. Execution was bad But other than Ewers looking like a HS freshman, the other disturbing thing is a pattern of standing around on defense, which is why OSU got that last TD. Jamison wrapped him up and two other guys just stopped and watched. When he slipped away from Jamison, it was a TD. Same thing happened with one of those long TDs last week. What happened to running to the ball? Is it a fear of late hit penalties? Laziness?
  11. Stanford/ND was on the Notre Dame network, so they weren't getting paid for that.
  12. LHN just had a stat explaining Sark. Last two years, Texas has lost 5 games with double digit in first half. The rest of the Big 12 combined-3 games. All Texas teams from 2006-2020-3 games.
  13. I was hoping the Iowa St. game was a sign we had gotten over that.
  14. Half the calls were legit, stupid offside or false start. The real issue was that somehow there were 0 vs. Oklahoma St. And there were 3 total bullshit calls that were so bad the refs had to huddle and call off the flag. I've never seen so many picked up in a game. At least one of the refs was determined to let OSU win for whatever reason.
  15. Case would have easily won the game.
  16. I would say 50 years. Injury is my best bet. Worst case is that he was doing drugs.
  17. At least somebody was out to get us. They have to huddle and wave off at least 3 penalties against us. Those were just too egregiously bad to call.
  18. I can't think of a time a Texas QB played worse and, well, let's just say I got to see Earl play as a student, so its been a long time.
  19. As bad as Ewers was and as porous as the defense was at that point, I had a bad feeling in the 1st half even at 31-17.
  20. This was one of those days that makes you long for the days of Case McCoy when you had a QB who could at least hit short passes. Sark proved he is no Saban or Dabo. Saban replaced his QB in the title game a few years back to come back against Georgia. Dabo replaced his QB today to come back against Syracuse. Ewers was having one of the worst days any Texas QB had ever had and Sark stuck with him. He just didn't have it today. And Sark showed why he is 7 win Sark.
  21. Somebody in stripes is.
  22. What was he whining about? He had a hand full of jersey and then pushed the guy down.
  23. Whittington blocked 2 defenders on that big gain.
  24. Ref might have directly stopped Bijan from scoring a TD.
