  1. Looked like our run defense on the edges last year
  2. Hope Sark is taking notes on how to attack the 3-3-5 defense that’s given him so many problems over the years.
  3. And then the Big 12 runner up beat the Big 10 champ.
  4. No problem. That’s about where I came in to UT as a freshman. A couple years of keg beer, Grandy’s chicken fried steak platters, and Mr. Gatti’s pizza buffets and he’ll be 240 lbs easy by year 3.
  5. Seems like Shelby is a perfect fit for a Lincoln Riley defense.
  6. That is some Stalin-era Soviet propaganda right there. It’s a little scary how that guy can do a complete 180 in service of General Secretary Jimbo like that.
  7. [cough, cough] Vernon Broughton [cough, cough]
  8. They have always said KRob didn’t have good hands, so passes to him had to be dump offs in the flats. Supposedly (this is just what they’ve said) Blue can do damage running intermediate routes further down field.
  9. According to a couple of the IT guys, Blue has much better hands and is effectively a WR if you motion him out of the backfield. Otherwise, about the same running the ball.
  10. If the reports about using AED on the field are true, doesn’t that indicate he was still in a shockable rhythm and hadn’t progressed to asystole yet?
  11. Have we considered what it will do to the Aggie recruiting pitch if TCU wins next week and ATM can no longer claim to have the only “Sitting National Championship Coach” in the state of Texas?
  12. If they don’t reverse this call, just get rid of replay
  13. It’s gonna be a long nine months until the next season starts if every thread, no matter the subject, gets derailed on the “Is Sark the guy?” argument.
  14. If this isn’t true, I hope she gets a lawyer and sues the shit out of the Aggie that posted this. Putting her name out there is complete bullshit.
  15. Definitely agree with you on the second part. If we take care of our business on the field, TCU is not going to be an issue for us in recruiting even if they win next Monday. Part of my lack of hate for TCU stems from when I was in school. During the McWilliams era I saw a lot of bad football, and yet we never lost to TCU the whole time I was on the 40 Acres. It’s just hard for me to get worked up about them in the way I do about even U of H, who beat our ass 3 out of 4 years. I can understand and appreciate that things are different for you.
  16. For a lot of people this seems to come down to “there are a lot of annoying TCU/UGA fans in my life and I can’t bear to be around them if they win.” All politics is local as they say, and you have an insufferable brother in law or co-worker that’s a TCU fan, I don’t blame you one bit for pulling for UGA. My second order familial ties to TCU have been positive, as have been my trips on their campus and seeing games there against teams other than Texas. On the other hand, I’ve had UGA fans bark in my face, so I admit that colors my outlook on the game.
  17. Michigan can always fall back on the “screwed by the refs” rationalization.
  18. I tend to agree with this. Miami is another similar comp. Their history from WW2 - the Patterson era indicates otherwise, but they’ve definitely got a good sell on facilities, campus life, and a big city. I imagine their NIL program will at least be decent eventually. I think playing in the B12 hurts them as far as getting in on a lot of top shelf recruits. I just think that the outcome of the game next week on their recruiting profile will be marginal at best. That damage has already been done. They are now one of 7 programs to make the CFP final game, and only the 6th of the last 7 years. Win or lose next Monday, they can credibly make the argument to recruits that they are a big-time program who can compete for championships.
  19. Not sure how to feel about the whole Christian Jones staying another year thing. Good arguments on both sides. Am I a sheep if I put my trust in Kyle Flood to make the right call on this?
  20. If we can keep Whittington healthy for an entire season, maybe there’s hope for Catalon doing the same.
  21. TCU because college football needs to break out of the 4-5 team oligarchy that wins the CFP every year. I find the argument that winning the championship game (as opposed to making a great run and getting there) is going to make TCU a great recruiting power that will take all the players we want to be speculative at best. If that is the concern, it’s already too late.
  22. This looks like the Michigan - Ohio State game in reverse
  23. I think I mentioned that in another post. Yes, there’s a step up in competition but going to the SEC is also getting us access to recruits that want to play in that league that simply wouldn’t consider a B12 team. If he keeps stacking up top 5 classes like the last two, we will win a lot of games. Again, I I’m dubious about him beating other teams who have stacked top 5 classes like UGA and Bama, and he’ll likely get out coached when he plays good coaches with near comparable talent like LSU with Kelly or Tennessee with Heupel.
  24. Yep, same day we beat OU’s ass
  25. To be clear, I’m not “counting” on Sark regularly winning 10 games a year. As I said, that is my optimistic scenario for him if he accumulates enough talent, and that scenario is still on the table after this year. It’s not like I’ve bet the rent money on that happening, and I won’t be particularly surprised if it doesn’t. As I am not CDC, Jay Hartzell, Kevin Eltiffe, or a BMD, my opinion has exactly zero influence on how long Sark is the coach of Texas no matter how many scathing diatribes I post on a message board. Accordingly, I choose to take the optimistic view of his tenure for as long as possible. If you prefer to digitally rage at the heavens for the next 2+ years, that is certainly your right. You’ll have a lot of company on this thread.
