    When you can only list 8 returning contributors and 3 of them are Broughton, Finkley, and Gbenda, it’s probably time to rethink your argument.

    Is there anything more aggy than spending half of your practice report making excuses for why UT’s QB isn’t actually as good as people say after dropping a note that aggy’s 5* savior at QB can’t beat out a JAG in camp?
  3. Burt Macklin
    I will die laughing if aggy loses out on Ivy. One of you assholes with a TexAgs account needs to start a rumor that LSU used some of the NIL money they had earmarked for Simmons to buy Ivy just to rub some more salt in the wound.

    Seriously, I cannot wait to get back to watching Max win every race by 30 seconds!

    That comment killed me. The guy whose team went 5-7 in Year 5 of their $100 million head coach with the team clearly quitting midseason, players missing curfew, smoking weed in the locker room, getting dismissed form the program, etc. thinks Texas has a culture problem and will quit after one loss.

    Yeah it was something terrible like that, and we otherwise had around a top 10 offense in other situations. Yeah, it very well may be a Sark issue. His inability to adjust in-game certainly contributes to it, but I could also see those numbers turning around at least to some extent. We’ll have an answer this year, though. The team is too talented for it to happen again and not be a Sark issue.

    You are impressively doltish on this topic.

    Our offense was generally abysmal in the fourth quarter. I was listening to an episode of Longhorn Blitz a couple weeks back and he had some split stats showing we were truly terrible as a fourth quarter offense. That along with going 2-5 in one score games will make you an outlier. The real question is whether we will regress to the mean, or if there are Sark/Ewers issues that will cause it to happen again.

    Yeah, the Lance trade never made sense to me. The worst thing GMs can do is convince themselves they have the perfect eval and bet the farm to go get their guy. The Niners could’ve taken Mac Jones at 12 or traded way less capital to get Fields at 8-11. Either way, they’d have a better QB and an extra 2 firsts. The Dolphins turned the picks the Niners traded them into Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and Bradley Chubb.

    That sounds a lot like Charlie’s 2015 class. Venables actually reminds me quite a bit of Strong. Long-time, respected DC who took a long time to get a HC job, and looks like he’s in way over his head. Somehow Venables managed to be magnitudes worse on defense in Year 1 than Strong. The only positive difference I see is that Lebby was a much better OC hire than ole 59 yards in a bowl game.

    Which commercial real estate firm do you think he’ll be declaring to? I’d put my money on CBRE, but you can never count out JLL in this type of situation.

    Hutson was one of the worst starting guards in all of P5 last year (he was significantly worse than Majors), he suffered a major shoulder injury that required surgery and kept him out of Spring ball, and he’s had extremely limited reps at Center, which is the most difficult position to learn on the OL. None of that adds up to him unseating a fourth year starter by conference play.

    Mitchell’s one of the best red zone threats in the country, and we should be able to get a lot of push in the run game behind Campbell and Jones, assuming Campbell wins the RG spot.

    Don’t forget hot pockets and pizza rolls.

    And the other big difference is the positions Sark’s landing 5 star talent at: QB, OL, DE, LB. All of Herman’s 5 stars were skill positions and DBs, and there was a huge drop off at OL and the Front 7.
  17. Burt Macklin
    You know things are bleak when the only thing TexAgs can come up with is “our recruiting will turn around if we win this year” as if they won’t suck again and the current season ever has a big impact on that year’s recruiting class. They are absolutely fucked.
  18. Burt Macklin
    I think it’s an interesting way to show how we’ve been failing to land truly elite talent under CS and Herman. They both had some highly rated classes, but they got very few 5 stars to campus. From 2013 to 2021, we landed like 4 consensus 5 stars. Sark landed 6 in just 22 and 23 and will probably be adding another 3-4 for 24. It’s a completely different level of talent than we’ve landed since Mack’s prime.
  19. Burt Macklin
    Evan Stewart and David Hicks were #1 in 22 and 23.

    Satay’s optimistic version of the season is still taking the Under on season wins. Is anyone surprised?
  22. Burt Macklin
    That’s good and all, but have we reserved the plane to fly the OneFund banner on game days? Everyone knows that’s the only real way to get your message out.
  23. Burt Macklin
    Saying we have an 11 win roster and then subtracting two wins due to the starting QB on said roster is a rather regarded way of explaining your prediction.

    Red Bull has been proven to have by far the most effective DRS, so that rule change would be an effective way to nerf RB compared to the rest of the field. Not that it will change the outcome of races, but having other teams get pole and making RB pass some cars would generate some additional excitement.

    Surly doing what Surly does best: going full autist. Go ahead and add minority population between Austin and Baton Rouge to the list with geography and Stanford academics.
