Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
1. We kicked their ass 2. The refs did them favors, and did not do us favors 3. Coach K retreated into the "Prevent Victory" defense For point 3, Sark in his capacity as HC should have called a timeout and reamed his DC about playing prevent and letting them march down the field. The confluence of two and three made it closer than it was. On to Georgia.

Yeah, but at Florida will you fired by the Governor? You can't buy that kind of street cred.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I did notice that, and didn't like it one bit.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
That’s what happened. That’s why we make fun of him to this day. Maybe you don’t remember, but people (especially older cynics) had varying degrees of faith in Vince Young until he consummated the deed.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
I watched the 2006 Rose Bowl with my dad and uncles. During the 4th quarter when we were down big and things looked hopeless, Uncle Wes lost hope and drove home. He was on the road during the comeback. This man missed the end of what most consider one of if not the greatest football games ever played. He left his bottle of Wild Turkey when he left. My dad, my Uncle Russ, and myself drank it in glorious triumph after 4th and 5. My son tried to leave the living room during the 3rd quarter of tonight's game. I told him we watch every minute of every game. No one wants to be the guy who left and missed VY's 4th and 5. You should have seen him ringing his cowbell at the end.

The Athletic Scoops Sark interested in NFL Jobs
Given the amount of alcohol this game forced me to consume, I anticipate quite a loose bowel movement at some point soon.

Has anyone made the Neto connection yet? It’s the only explanation for Stroh continuing to trot out there.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
- CFB Week Nine Preview: CLANGACLANGACLANGACLANGA
We solve the dilemma but simply not scoring.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Check and mate. We did offer Brennan Thompson.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
He didn't care for the amenities at Horseshoe Bay. Nor the curtains in the rooms.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Arch was set up to fail. Sark preemptively abandoned the running game for this one. You could tell on the first drive. We had a couple of solid runs throughout the game, but every single time we moved on to throwing it several times in a row. I don't have the box score or play by play in front of me, but I would be surprised if we called consecutive running plays more than once or twice last night. On the road. In a close game. And seemingly half of the running plays we did call were Arch keepers that my dead grandmother saw coming. There's a path to this being a winning team a la 2007 LSU, with a salty defense and an offense that keeps things afloat just enough to get by. But week in and week out, Sark looks at that path and goes off-road instead. It's like he has no idea what this team is and what it's capable of. He continually makes decisions as if he has a functioning offensive line and a QB capable of elevating his teammates like Joe Montana, making correct decisions on every play and marching down the field with precision. Then when that doesn't happen, our defense has to play heroically to keep us in games until special teams gives us good field position or the offense stumblefucks its way into a big play. The Oklahoma game should have been our signpost for the rest of the season. Quick reads, a reliance on ball control and the running game, and complementary football. Instead we apparently ignored its lessons. Unless Sark fundamentally changes his understanding of the team he has and adjusts accordingly, the rest of our games will look like last night instead. Fuck.- Family Friendly Texas @ Kentucky Watch Party - Austin
I like the idea. I'm in the New Braunfels area so Hill Country sounds appealing, but selling the idea to the wife entails more details. Party start/end times, location, what do we bring, age of other kids, for example. I can bring some food/booze of whatever the theme of the party demands, and I'll be toting an 8 yr old and 5 yr old. No guarantees on attendance yet, but I might be able to swing it, depending on operational parameters.- Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
This is where I’m at. I actually told my wife pre-RRS that I wanted to see some fight out of this team if I’m gonna believe. Then the pregame scuffle happened and I knew we were golden. But now we gotta see it with consistency. We’re too young and not developed enough to cruise by SEC opponents without the appropriate spirit and effort.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
The most refreshing thing to me was Sark finally realizing that his normal offense wasn't going to work with this team and pivoting to shotgun based, quick acting playcalls. Once we made the switch after the first quarter, we dominated. Here's hoping we do that from here on out.- Texas vs. ou - 2:30pm on ABC

A couple of days late, but my picks for the week ranked by confidence. Note the early returns on my confidence scale. 😆- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
In fairness, he once scored 70 points in a game with Casey Thompson at QB. Think of what he could do if we got him a Manning.- Brent Venables thinks jesus was a drunk and a bad guy

I promise that I try my best not to be reactionary after games like this. It's understood that inevitably as a fan we will face frustration and angst, especially as we move towards the top of the pile where teams are more evenly matched on the athletic front. However, as I watched our team go out on the field and look like an overmatched, clumsy, weak, dumb, pile of steaming shit on both sides of the ball today, it was really disappointing. We looked like Mack Brown Texas Football against Big Game Bob circa 2000-2004. They were more physical than us, they were more intentional than us, they were better coached than us, they were superior to us in every way. Their running backs were balls of muscle that took multiple hits and guys to bring down. Their linemen on both sides rag-dolled our "large humans" with regularity. Their team came to play. Perhaps the most disheartening thing was watching us trot out the exact same offensive scheme in the second half that didn't work in the first. We changed out some players, sure, but our coaches didn't seem to know how to change their plans to accommodate what they were seeing with their own eyes. We started the second half with a drive that was indistinguishable from the drives in the first half. I'm not talking about playcalling. I'm talking about philosophy. Same formations, same play designs, just different players and the hope that "this time, it'll work." Even Napier's brain farts and Arch actually looking like a QB couldn't bring us back from the brink. We flat out sucked today. I hope there is some major soul-searching on Sark's part, because whatever people like Flood and Banks are selling him isn't working. We gave up a blocked punt for a safety. We punted from inside field goal range twice (what's up with that? Did Sideshow Bert scar us or something? Or is our kicker injured?). Our offensive line has been unable to move people for years now. Yes we've run the ball successfully, but when was the last time we were able to move the defensive line in a critical moment when they knew we were coming? Alabama in 2023? This team is at a crossroads and every single individual from Sark down to the walk-ons needs to decide how they are going to approach their craft going forward, because otherwise this is going to be a long, long season.- 2025 Random Games thread
